Why read it?
1 author picked Life After Carbon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I recommend this book because it focuses on a fascinating, unique, and very important topic: truly integrating urban design with nature.
With 80% of the earth’s population soon to be urban, making cities sustainable is essential, but this book goes beyond traditional sustainability to examine how the energy and material flow in cities can mimic nature itself–biophilic cities, in the words of the authors.
From Peter's list on the nexus of energy, economics, and climate change.
