Required Texts
-
Green Cities of Europe, Timothy Beatley, Island Press.
Available in PDF from the UI Library at <http://site.ebrary.com/lib/uidaho/reader.action?docID=10578338>.
Read by Jan 16:
- "Introduction: Why Study European Cities," GCE, pp
1–28.
- Chapter 9, "Conclusion: Green Cities of Europe as Compelling
Models," GCE, pp 215–224
"That we need new models of urbanization—that is, sustainable
urbanization—is especially clear here in the U.S. Where to look for
new models is always a question, and as this book [GCE]
argues European cities remain a powerful source of potent ideas and
inspiring practice." —Tim Beatley
- Life After Carbon,
Peter Plastrik and John Cleveland, Island Press.
"The future of our cities is not what it used to be. The
modern-city model that took hold globally in the twentieth century
has outlived its usefulness. It cannot solve the problems it helped
to create--especially global warming. Fortunately, a new model for
urban development is emerging in cities to aggressively tackle the
realities of climate change." —Plastrik and Cleveland

Pathway," LAC pp

A Green Cities Checklist: A Subjective Rating Rubric, B.
Haglund & M. Payne.
"To meet the challenges of
mitigating global climate change it is not sufficient to merely
design and construct sustainable buildings. Sustainability must be
attained on the neighborhood, city, and regional scales."
