In his groundbreaking book, Cities for a Small Planet, Richard Register argues that cities are the key to a sustainable future.
As the world's population continues to grow and the effects of climate change become more apparent, it is essential that we find ways to create more sustainable and livable communities. Register believes that cities are uniquely positioned to lead the way in this effort.
Cities are home to a majority of the world's population, and they are responsible for a large share of the world's greenhouse gas emissions. However, cities are also centers of innovation and creativity. They are where new technologies are developed and where new ideas are born.
Register argues that cities can use their unique strengths to become models of sustainability. By investing in renewable energy, green buildings, and sustainable transportation, cities can reduce their environmental impact while improving the quality of life for their residents.
Cities for a Small Planet is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the future of sustainability. Register's insights are clear and concise, and his solutions are practical and achievable.
