234 p. : ill. ; maps ; col. ; 20 cm. Architecture and construction are at a turning point. They account for more than 40% of global CO2 emissions. Rising temperatures can only be reduced if there is a radical change in the field of construction throughout the world. However, how should we design our cities, buildings and living spaces so that we can get closer to the goal of decarbonisation? The book gives 20 architects and urban planners their say on the future of construction. Voices are heard from Mexico to Kenya - from Bangladesh to Switzerland. In the interviews experts give an account of their own experiences with climate-friendly construction as well as regional problems posed by rising CO2emissions. They explain pioneering projects and combine them with their personal desire and political ideals Preface 4 -- Cities and Regions : Building Responsibly Marina Tabassum 11 -- Climate Change as a Social Issue Tatiana Bilbao 21 -- Testing Ground to Save the World Tarik Oualalou 33 -- Living with Water Kunle Adeyemi 41 -- Copenhagen ‘s Climate Neutral Path Camilla van Deurs 51 -- Climate Shelters for Barcelona Lacol 61 -- Design as Problem Solver Shigeru Ban 71 -- Singapore as a Model Green City for the Future Richard Hassel 81 -- Corridors for Life Richard Weller 89 -- Circular and Co2 – Neutral : What to Do about the Climate Emergency?
