How do you achieve effective low-carbon design beyond the building level? How do you create a community that is both livable and sustainable? More importantly, how do
you know if you have succeeded? Harrison Fraker goes beyond abstract
principles to provide a clear, in-depth evaluation of four first
generation low-carbon neighborhoods in Europe, and shows how those
lessons can be applied to the U.S. The four case studies are: Bo01 and Hammarby in
Sweden, and Kronsberg and Vauban in Germany. Each was built deliberately
to conserve resources: all are mixed-used, contain at least 1,000
units, and have aggressive goals for energy and water efficiency,
recycling, and waste treatment.
