Using the case of Stockholm as the pivot of discussions, this book investigates the core issues of sustainable urban environmental development and planning. The book shows how intersecting fields such as urban planning and architecture, traffic planning, land-use regulation, building, waste management, regional development, water management, infrastructure engineering-together and in combination-have contributed to making Stockholm Europe's "greenest" city.
