In a very short time the developed world has realized that global warming poses real challenges to the our future. The Agile City engages the fundamental question: what to do about it? Journalist and urban analyst James S. Russell argues that we’ll more quickly slow global warming—and blunt its effects—by retrofitting cities, suburbs, and towns. The Agile City shows that change undertaken at the building and community level can reach carbon-reduction goals rapidly.
James S. Russell is the architecture columnist for Bloomberg News. He has written about cities, architecture, and environmental design for more than 20 years.
There's a rich roster of events at the Skysraper Museum all summer, including another book talk not to miss on July 21 about architectural photography. The Museum is at the edge of the acclaimed New Urbanist development Battery Park City in Lower Manhattan. Directions here.
