Post Carbon Cities
Planning for Energy and Climate Uncertainty
by Daniel Lerch
Post Carbon Cities examines how peak oil and global warming are creating new uncertainties for cities of all sizes. It explains how local decision-makers can address the energy and climate challenges of the 21st century by:
- breaking community dependence on oil
- stopping community contributions to global warming
- preparing the community to thrive in a time of energy and climate uncertainty
This beautifully illustrated, full-color guidebook is crucial reading for government officials, city planners, business leaders and anyone concerned about preparing their community for the post carbon world.
