Sustainable Housing; Principles and Practice

Sustainable Housing; Principles and Practice

Editorial Reviews
Book Description

Sustainable Housing is intended to guide action into the next century, setting down key principles, providing important new technical information and setting UK practices in a European context.

Perceptions of sustainable housing have moved from the importance of the individual dwelling to the issues facing neighbourhoods and communities. This book is not about the autonomous house but how to achieve self-sustaining communities. It looks at build projects (such as Hulme in Manchester) and ambitious schemes on the drawing board (Greenwich Millennium Village).
