Sustainable infrastructure: the guide to green engineering and design
The trend of increasingly fusing together the roles of engineers and designers, as more factors, perspectives and metrics are incorporated into the planning and building process, is explored in this book. It takes an in-depth look at how urban design incorporates sustainable engineering practices, as they relate to watershed master-planning, optimizing water reuse, green building, green streets initiatives, sustainable master-planning and reclaiming urban spaces. Guidance on the role that collaborative team-building and creative thinking play in order to affect a sustainable transportation of the built environment is provided in this book.
