This important work encourages readers to explore the interconnectedness of human–created objects, places, and systems that enrich our life.

The Second Edition of The Built Environment builds on the solid foundation of the first edition and has been thoroughly updated to present a timely exploration of advances in sustainable design and planning. This new edition of The Built Environment:
