Sustainable Housing

In the CIOB Literary Awards, this won gold in the buildings category. The impact of housing on the environment has, in our crowded island, become a matter of vital importance to government and the construction industry. This collection of case studies, based on work for a conference in 1998, is therefore timely. It is also wide-ranging, opening with analyses of the relation between the built environment, land and society, as well as of the key issues of transport and energy. The author proceeds to develop his ideas through studies of specific development projects and detailed design guidelines.
