Publisher's Synopsis
The pressure is on: people move to cities in ever-growing numbers. So we build new neighbourhoods, we transform old industrial areas and renew the existing city. Right now, the focus lies on energy-neutral neighbourhoods. But in order for these new neighbourhoods to really work, residents need to be engaged and the tactics need to be embedded within a larger social policy. Only then do thriving cities arise. 'Neighbourhoods for the Future' revisits the neighbourhood as the designated scale and arena to build our urban futures.
