Carbon Zero is an optimistic look at how cities can succeed in the age of climate consequences. Cities give us amazing opportunities to reduce our climate emissions while improving both our economy and our communities. The book stresses that we can improve the quality of life through a tool chest of approaches, from cutting edge green building design to more walkable neighborhoods, new “walkshed” technologies to green infrastructure, and the reconnection of urban places to rural nature. (The full text of this book is available for free online.)
