内容説明

Issues of sustainability have become central to international dialogues on development. This study focuses on cities, examining the implications that contemporary urbanization has for the environment in nine major countries and regions. Chapters examine the meaning of sustainable development in a specific region, the growth and structure of urban systems, the effects of possible climatic changes on urban areas, the political environment within which cities must operate, and the pressures caused by intense urban use of sevices and natural resources.
