A team of city-building professionals explain in straightforward terms how the idea of ecological sustainability can be embodied in the everyday life of homes; communities and cities to make a better future.The book considers - and answers - three questions: What does the global agenda of sustainable development mean for the urban spaces where most people live; work and move? Can we keep what we love about suburban life and still save the environment? And what new methods of planning and building will be needed in the 21st century? Rejecting both economic and environmental orthodoxy; the bookrsquo;s essential message is that the sustainable city can be built by a thousand well-directed small changes. It draws on practical case material from around the world and weaves together four critical aspects of urban life: housing; open space; workplaces and transport. A photographic essay of 32 colour plates illustrates the ideas discussed.

He loves his dogs so I thought this one would be fun for him. He was really happy to receive it and said he couldnt wait until the new year started so he could get a few laughs. I got him an Urban Dictionary desk calendar last year and that didnt work out very well - we had to check it every day to make sure it was politically correct enough for the office! He was worried that HR would call him out! So hopefully; he wont have that issue with this one. Well see!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ... this as a gift for my Grandma and she loved it!

CrandallThis is my second year of buying the Dog Shaming day-to-day calendar. Every once in a while there is a really over-the-top gross one; but most days it makes me start my day with a smile.
