Australia is similar to the United States in many ways, especially in its 'energy footprint.' This book looks at how 'green' solutions in Australia can benefit US cities. It describes 'green transport' projects, 'city farms,' renewable energy plans, green living programs, and more. It considers a host of public policy initiatives.
In this immensely practical book, Timothy Beatley sets out to answer a simple question: what can Americans learn from Australians about "greening" city life? "Green Urbanism Down Under" reports on the current state of "sustainability practice" in Australia and the many lessons that U.S. residents can learn from the best Australian programs and initiatives.
