I was blown away by this book. Simple, everyday living by a local parapalegic, living in my own neighborhood. It is told with honesty, dignity and self deprecating humor.
After a decade of talk about the need for green buildings, the question is no longer why we need to go green, the question is how. American cities are confronting serious sustainability issues and are in dire need of tangible, deployable & affordable solutions.
This talk explores the lost city of Detroit by analyzing its decline from the once great "American Dream City" and mapping out a plan for transforming it into an urban oasis of sustainability. The lessons learned here could be applied to every rust belt and industrial city in the country.
In stark contrast, we investigate the city of Dallas, a place born from the oil industry but now developing one of the most sustainable city blocks in the US. The third "D" of the talk delves into the growing trend of despotism and the strange forces working against the greening of the economy.
