内容概要

Environment, construction and sustainable development is an important contribution to the worldwide debate on sustainable development and the first to focus comprehensively on construction. It takes note of historical precedents and analysesfuture prospects in the light of inequitable use of resources and increasing demographic and socio-economic problems.    Volume 1 gives a detailed treatment of built development in a variety of geographical situations. Volume 2 explains further how each field of civil engineering can be related directly to natural resources and the environment. Thetwo volumes are split into four parts dealing with effects of construction onresources, describing examples of these themes, identifying appropriate practical construction solutions and recognizing the economic and political realities that are faced in their implementation. It gives new emphasis to established solutionsin recurrent situations and an integrated analysis of new options available for tackling problems in sustainable development.    This book will appeal to students and post-graduates of geography or civil engineering, and professionals in land use,transportation planning and earth and environmental sciences.
