Book Synopsis



ENG:

What would it take to make urban places greener, more affordable, more equitable, and healthier for everyone? In recent years, cities have stepped up efforts to address climate and sustainability crises. But progress has not been fast enough or gone deep enough. If communities are to thrive in the future, we need to quickly imagine and implement an entirely new approach to urban development: one that is centered on equity and rethinks social, political, and economic systems as well as urban designs. With attention to this need for structural change, Reimagining Sustainable Cities advocates for a community-informed model of racially, economically, and socially just cities and regions. The book aims to rethink urban sustainability for a new era.

In Reimagining Sustainable Cities, Stephen M. Wheeler and Christina D. Rosan ask big-picture questions of interest to readers worldwide: How do we get to carbon neutrality? How do we adapt to a climate-changed world? How can we create affordable, inclusive, and equitable cities? While many books dwell on the analysis of problems, Reimagining Sustainable Cities prioritizes solutions-oriented thinking--surveying historical trends, providing examples of constructive action worldwide, and outlining alternative problem-solving strategies. Wheeler and Rosan use a social ecology lens and draw perspectives from multiple disciplines. Positive, readable, and constructive in tone, Reimagining Sustainable Cities identifies actions ranging from urban design to institutional restructuring that can bring about fundamental change and prepare us for the challenges ahead."


RUS:

Что нужно сделать, чтобы городские районы стали более зелеными, доступными и благоприятными для жизни? Необходимо разработать и внедрить совершенно новый подход к городскому развитию, в основе которого лежат принципы равенства и переосмысление социальных, политических и экономических систем, а так-же городского дизайна.

В книге «Переосмысление устойчивых городов» Стивен М. Уилер и Кристина Д. Розан поднимают масштабные вопросы, интересующие читателей по всему миру. Как нам достичь углеродной нейтральности? Как адаптироваться к изменившемуся климату? Как создать доступные, инклюзивные города, которые учитывают интересы всех жителей?

В то время как многие другие книги посвящены анализу проблем, «Переосмысление устойчивых городов» отдает приоритет мышлению, ориентированному на решения исследованию исторических тенденций, примеров эффективных действий и изложению альтернативных стратегий. В позитивном и конструктивном ключе в книге рассмотрены этапы развития -- от городского дизайна до институциональной перестройки, способной привести к фундаментальным изменениям и подготовить общество к предстоящим вызовам.
