Cover of Thomas Schröpfer: Dense + Green Cities (PDF)

In which ways does a ‘green building’ contribute to the ecology of its surroundings? And how can ecologically designed urban districts, with their green and blue networks, link up with the elements and technologies of building design? All dimensions of ‘green building’ are investigated in this book in an effort to understand and evaluate some of the most recent and innovative Dense+Green Cities in Asia, the Americas and Europe.
