Green Urbanism:
Learning from European Cities
by Timothy Beatley
www.islandpress.org/bookstore/details.php?prod_id=741
This comprehensive study of several European cities and the lessons that Americans can learn from them is not light reading but is definitely worth the effort. Case studies range in scope from major restructuring plans with the broad aim of reducing a city's ecological footprint to more easily digestible components, such as cohousing and public bicycle-sharing programs. Each chapter ends with "Lessons for American Cities," suggesting modifications to the European examples and recognizing American cities that have already taken the initiative in green development.
