Designing High-Density Cities for Social & Environmental Sustainability

Abstract

Designing optimization structures in high-density urban areas has many challenges. This book
“Designing High-density Cities for Social and Environmental Sustainability” contains articles from urban planners and architects that are
meeting these challenges head-on for tropical cities, although other aspects for temperate climates can also be applied. The editor is Edward Ng from School of Architecture at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). The book attempts to bring together scholars, experts and practitioners of high-density city design to share current experience and knowledge on the subject.
