When his previous book THE VERTICAL FARM was first published by Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's Press in 2010, no such farms existed; now hundreds of them, comprising a multi-billion-dollar industry, can be found all over the world. Now, with his new book, THE NEW CITY, Despommier presents us with a bold new vision of our urban future, if only we are willing to listen to what nature can teach us about the best way to grow food, store carbon, harvest rainwater, and renew energy for the cities of the future. Drawing on a unique concept called "biomimicry," Despommier's book will be both a synthesis of how following principles of nature can help us create a new built environment for cities in which we can thrive, as well as a courageous call to action on how we can achieve it"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a City planning. 650 0 $a Sustainable urban development. 650 6 $a Urbanisme durable. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Social History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a City planning $2 fast 650 7 $a Sustainable urban development $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Despommier, Dickson D. $t New city $d New York : Columbia University Press, [2023] $z 9780231556033 $w (DLC) 2023009329 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240405024600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A6F03056F31211EEA2A0228A4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
