The current ecological crisis will transform the face and fate of cities. Neighborhoods for the Future is based on the conviction that we should rethink cities from the ambit of the neighborhood. moreIt revisits the neighborhood as the designated scale and arena to build our urban futures. The neighborhood is small enough to be tangible, yet big enough to make a difference. In order for neighborhoods to really work, residents need to be engaged and the tactics should be embedded within a wider social policy, if we want thriving cities. By introducing the concepts of neighborhood arrangements and ecologies, based on examples in Europe and North America, this book provides a new perspective on the relation between participants, resources, and rules, to spark change and prepare urbanites and policymakers for realizing their own sustainable neighborhoods for the future.
