A hopeful and accessible introduction to green cities and sustainable urban planning

All around the world, cities are turning to green infrastructure as a way to address the causes and effects of climate change, and make cities healthier, more comfortable, and more enjoyable places to live.

In four engaging chapters, readers will learn about why people live in urban centers, what a "green city" is, examples of green architecture from cities around the world, and which roles readers can play in greening their cities now and in the future.

With quotes from real climate activists and thinkers included throughout, this is an accessible nonfiction introduction to how builders are making our cities more livable and sustainable by looking to nature for inspiration.

Dockrill, Katy: -

KATY DOCKRILL finds inspiration for her art in her family, friends, and the city-within-a-city neighbourhood where she lives.

Katy makes Toronto, Ontario her home, where she lives with her small family and their cat.
