| Plot |
| The Key to Sustainable Cities uses the principles of system dynamics to demonstrate how yesterday's solutions have turned into the problems cities are facing today. The book points to a new approach to city planning that builds on assets as a starting point for cities to develop healthy social, governance, economic, and environmental systems. It helps communities understand the forces that support unsustainable systems, gives them new ways to look at problems, and outlines tools for designing new strategies to improve their environmental, economic, and social performance by using powerful local leverage points for change. |
