520 |a These completed projects demonstrate best practice and will inspire a new hybrid generation of designers who will combine architecture and engineering skills to resolve a key environmental challenge. Furthermore, these creative construction projects from a variety of genres including, commercial property, public buildings, social housing and private homes give testimony to the fact that investment in green archineering also provides a commercial advantage to forward thinking developers and investors. John A. Flannery is a freelance Project Manager with qualifications in industrial design from Leeds Metropolitan University. John Flannery has over 35 years experience in the Design, Procurement and Project Management of a wide range of contstruction projects in the industrial, commercial and private sectors throughout Europe, Africa, and the USA. He currently specialises in urban regeneration projects with the highest levels of ecological accreditation. Karen M.  
520 |a "Eco-Urban Design" focuses on the unprecedented challenges currently faced by architects and designers. In a world where climate change, diminishing natural resources and an increasing global population have become indisputable facts of life there is now a rising demand for evolved buildings that no longer endanger the Earth's fragile ecological systems. This book endeavours to tell the positive side of the story by featuring considered design solutions provided by the world's most innovative architects and engineers. By only including realised projects which have been subjected to post construction monitoring this publication provides evidence-based information that measured reductions in carbon emissions, water and energy usage can actually be achieved in the field and not just on the drawing board.
