Sustainability by Design: A Vision for a Region of 4 Million

The Greater Vancouver region's population is expected to double in the next fifty years with a 250 percent increase in citizens over sixty-five.

Sustainability by Design addresses the challenge of transforming livability into sustainability while accommodating this demographic change. Focusing on jobs, housing, transportation, infrastructure, parks, and open space, this beautifully illustrated and designed book is an invaluable resource for city planners, design professionals, elected officials, and citizens interested in a sustainable future.
