| book description |

Urban Sustainability at the Margins: Borderlands, Peripheries, and Resilient Design Practices explores how cities can be shaped through innovative, climate-responsive, and people-centered planning approaches. The book brings together theory, practice, and real-world case studies to offer a comprehensive view of sustainable urban development. From eco-design principles and resilient infrastructure to policy frameworks and smart city integration, it serves as a forward-thinking guide for creating cities that are both livable and future-proof. As urban areas rapidly grow, there is a critical need for new planning paradigms that prioritize sustainability, inclusivity, and resilience. Bringing together perspectives from thought leaders around the world, this book provides an updated, interdisciplinary resource that reflects the urgent challenges of urbanization in the context of climate change, environmental degradation, and social inequality. The chapters are organized clearly into four logical sectionsâ€”foundational concepts, policy and governance, thematic strategies, and global case studiesâ€”which provides a coherent progression from theory to practice. Urban Sustainability at the Margins helps readers understand how to design and implement sustainable solutions in real-world contexts. It bridges the gap between academic insight and professional application, making it a valuable tool for both study and practice.
