Compact Cities and Sustainable Urban Development - A Critical Assessment of Policies and Plans from an International Perspective: Encouraging, even requiring, higher density urban development is a major
policy in the European Community and of Agenda 21, and a central principle of
growth management programmes used by cities around the world. This work takes a
critical look at a number of claims made by proponents of this initiative,
seeking to answer whether indeed this strategy controls the spread of urban
suburbs into open lands, is acceptable to residents, reduces trip lengths and
encourages use of public transit, improves efficiency in providing urban
infrastructure and services, and results in environmental improvements
supporting higher quality of life in cities. Most of the 24 contributions, from ten countries, focus on case experiences
which test these widely-held notions of the benefits of compact cities and draw
inferences from these cases. The book seeks to encourage and contribute to the
policy debate over the effectiveness of investments in a compact city strategy,
providing an international perspective based on observed results. This text examines the claims made by proponents of the higher density
urban development initiative. It explores whether indeed this strategy controls
the spread of urban suburbs, is acceptable to residents, reduces trip lengths,
encourages use of public transit, and improves efficiency.
