Da 2050 bereits 70 % der Menschheit in Städten leben wird, ist das Zukunftsthema "nachhaltige Stadtgestaltung" für die UNESCO Cities of Design ein wichtiger Schwerpunkt. Unter dem Gesichtspunkt, dass Design einen substanziellen Beitrag zur positiven Veränderung in Umwelt- und Sozialfragen zu leisten vermag, stellt das Buch sieben Beispiele vor, die als Anregung zur Nachahmung zu verstehen sind: sie zeigen Maßnahmen und Problemanalysen für die Städte Detroit, Graz, Istanbul, Mexico City und Puebla, sowie Projekte, die ortsungebunden anwendbar sind. Thematisiert werden u. a. die Effizienz von Zertifikaten, Klimainstallationen für Stadträume und neue ökologische, architektonische und soziologische Konzepte für Megastädte. Ein Lesebuch für Akteurinnen und Akteure an der Schnittstelle von Sozio-Design und Städtebau.

In view of the fact that, by 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities, the subject of "sustainable urban design" is an important issue for UNESCO’s Cities of Design. Taking into account that urban design can make a significant contribution to positive changes in environmental and social matters, the book presents seven inspirational examples for copying; included are analyses and measures for the cities of Detroit, Graz, Istanbul, Mexico City, and Puebla, as well as non-location bound projects. The authors investigate the efficiency of certificates, climate installations for urban spaces, and new ecological, architectural, and sociological concepts for mega-cities. A reader for stakeholders at the interface of social and urban design.

"This book is full of design inspirations, but its design could do with revisiting. Its large format lends itself well to illustrations but the monochrome, bleached-out photos in turquoise and pale blue are hardly readable, especially when spread across pages, and the tiny font of the captions and references also in pale colours, are not helpful."
