Omschrijving
A toolkit for realising a more sustainable and co-operative urban future.
'Uplifting in vision and down-to-earth in practice, this book makes sustainable cities visible, tangible and irresistible'
'As global crises multiply and politicians seem unable to act, many are turning to the local for signs of hope... Chatterton makes a powerful appeal for cities to rise to act on climate change, common ownership and genuine sustainability'
'Without ever losing sight of what's at stake, Chatterton's masterful and accessible book is a must for anyone interested in taking back cities for people and planet'
'This is an empowering book, with a manifesto for change that works really well - especially with people fed up with over-hyped 'smart cities' rhetoric and top-down political fixes'
