This book written by the Chair of U.S. Green building Council’s LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) Core Committee, passionately sets a case for Sustainable Urbanism. With enthusiasm, Douglas Farr initiates a poetic dialogue with the natural and built environments portending an urgent integration for harmonious economic and population growth.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who spends 80% to 90% indoors. As researched by the World Urbanization Prospects, for the first time in human history, half of the world’s population (3.2 billion) lives in cities with a projection of 70% by 2050.
