The book visits cities of all sizes, on all continents, to share what people are doing - now - to tackle the economic, social and environmental challenges their communities face. The book travels to Denmark, Australia, Cuba, China, Canada, Germany, Israel, Brazil, the United States, and more for good ideas that will engage and empower people to take part in the future of their city. Whether describing the benefits of yarn bombs in Madrid, the creation of pollinator pathways in Seattle, or the transformative power of garbage-for-food programs in Curitiba, Brazil this book brings together a compelling collection of examples to shift how we think about improving cities. To do this, the chapters are organised around the essential ingredients for improving our cities: Inviting People, Inspiring People, Connecting People, Communicating with People, Moving People and Supporting People. The hope is that by taking readers on a tour of diverse cities - large and small, wealthy and struggling - that their imaginations will be triggered about what they can do to improve their own cities. 650 0 $a Sustainable urban development. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007008481 650 0 $a City planning $x Environmental aspects. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008117683 650 0 $a Urban ecology (Sociology) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh88004757 650 7 $a City planning $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862209 650 7 $a Sustainable urban development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01744955 650 7 $a Urban ecology (Sociology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01733718 700 1 $a Rivenburgh, Nancy Kay, $d 1956- $e author. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no96025926 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025843.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DC2259C40C2C11EAA2E5F95597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
