Sinossi

This handbook proposes measures of planetary boundary limits, goals for socio-economic sustainability, the principles of intergenerational stewardship, and the framing of infrastructure problems as complex adaptive systems. Separate chapters address each stage in the typical project delivery process, suggesting actions for applying the sustainability principles during planning, design, and construction. The closing chapters describe tools for building rating systems, assessing environmental impacts, and measuring sustainability criteria. A few black and white photographs of infrastructure projects are provided. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
