The Practice of Sustainable Development by Urban Land Institute.

Going beyond the principles of smart growth and the new urbanism, the concept of sustainable development includes not only the physical elements of a community, but also the economic and social impacts of development, and the long-term conservation of natural resources.

The Practice of Sustainable Development is the first book to explain how development professionals can translate these ideals into practical techniques that consider the bottom line. Written by a team of experts, the book demonstrates cost effective ways that sustainable concepts can be applied to almost any development project.

The authors describe proven methods for site planning, designing, and building "green" projects that conserve natural resources, take advantage of existing urban structures, and improve the economic and social dimensions of a community, while considering the financial realities that developers must face.

Packed with examples from throughout the nation, the book demonstrates how the latest technologies and techniques have been applied in projects ranging from small to large scale developments, in both urban and greenfield settings. .)
