Limits (1st ed.). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429463402
COPY


ABSTRACT

This book addresses the crucial question of how the essential needs of the
growing human population can be met without breaking the Earth's
already-stretched life-support system.

With four out of five people predicted to be urban dwellers by 2080, ‘One
Planet’ Cities proposes a pathway to genuine sustainability for cities and
neighbourhoods, using an approach based on contraction and convergence.
Utilising interviews with key players, including the Global Footprint Network,
World Future Council, WWF, mayors and government officials, and case studies
from across the globe, including Europe, North and South America, Australia,
South Africa, China and India, David Thorpe examines all aspects of modern
society from food provision to neighbourhood design, via industry, the circular
economy, energy and transport through the critical lens of the ecological
footprint and relevant supporting international standards and indicators.
Recommendations on managing supply chains and impacts, how the transition to a
world within limits might be financed, and a deep examination of the Welsh
Government's pioneering efforts follow. It concludes with an imagined vision of
what a genuinely sustainable future might be like, and an appeal for 'one
planeteers' everywhere to step up to the challenge.



This book will be of great interest to practitioners and policymakers involved
in governance, administration, urban environments and sustainability, alongside
students of the built environment, urban planning, environmental policy and
energy.
