商品描述

A practical, comprehensive textbook that uses active learning techniques to teach about the challenges and opportunities associated with urban sustainability.

While the problem of urban sustainability has long been a subject of great scholarly interest, there has, until now, been no single source providing a multi-disciplinary, exhaustive view of how it can be effectively taught. Filling this gap, Our Urban Future uses active learning techniques to comprehensively relate the theory of urban sustainability and the what, why, and how of sustainable cities. This practical, pedagogically rich textbook concisely covers all the key subjects of the field, including ecosystem services and transects, the internal design and patterning of urban elements, how cities mitigate and adapt to climate change, and questions of environmental justice. It functions as both an illuminating roadmap and active reference to which any student of sustainability can turn to find essential resources and perspectives in pursuit of creating sustainable cities.

  • Approachable, discrete exercises introduce students to key sustainability subjects
  • Learn-by-doing approach encourages critically engaging from multiple angles
  • Ideal for students across environmental sustainability, urban planning, urban design, urban studies, sociology architecture, landscape architecture, and geography
  • Robust suite of ancillaries includes links and downloadable data to support activities, and additional readings and resources

儘管城市可持續性問題長期以來一直是學術界高度關注的主題，但迄今為止，尚未有單一來源提供多學科、全面的視角來有效教授這一主題。為了填補這一空白，《我們的城市未來》運用主動學習技術，全面關聯城市可持續性的理論以及可持續城市的何、為何和如何。這本實用且教學內容豐富的教科書簡明扼要地涵蓋了該領域的所有關鍵主題，包括生態系統服務與橫斷面、城市元素的內部設計與模式、城市如何減緩和適應氣候變遷，以及環境正義的問題。它既是一條啟發性的路線圖，也是任何可持續性學生可以參考的活躍資源，以尋找在創造可持續城市過程中所需的基本資源和觀點。

- 易於接近的獨立練習引導學生了解關鍵的可持續性主題
- 實踐學習的方法鼓勵從多個角度進行批判性參與
- 非常適合環境可持續性、城市規劃、城市設計、城市研究、社會學、建築學、景觀建築學和地理學的學生
