Green Cities Asian Development Bank

Asia shares a vision of making all its cities livable one day. Essential to meeting the challenges of climate change and pollution are reducing energy demand in cities as well as the environmental impacts of energy production and consumption, and addressing the pollution of watersheds and the air. This book concludes that more efficient and effective management of the urbanization process, city form and design, urban density, transport systems, and logistics systems can help achieve this vision.
