Tradition and Sustainability examines one of the most important challenges that faces the developed world: how to build green cities. It gives the reader an insight into current thinking on the subject that will both enlighten the layperson and provide an important, scholarly appreciation for the university market of courses in Urbanism, Planning, and Architecture - over 250,000 of them in the U.S. and U.K. alone. The importance of the subject is exemplified by the standard of contributor to this book and by the authors of the foreword, HRH the Prince of Wales and the afterword, Al Gore. Its main tenets are that as our cities grow, we must learn from nature and from traditional building methods; we must use sustainable materials; but above all we must provide a global answer and not an elitist one.
