Creating Green Roadways Integrating Cultural, Natural, and Visual Resources into Transportation

Creating Green Roadways: Integrating Cultural, Natural, and Visual Resources into Transportation by James L. Sipes, Matthew L. Sipes Language: English | 2013 | ISBN: 1610913752, 1610913582 | 278 pages | PDF | 83,7 MB In 'Creating Green Roads', James and Matthew Sipes demonstrate that roads don't have to be the enemy of sustainability: they can be designed to minimally impact the environment while improving quality of life. The authors examine traditional, utilitarian methods of transportation planning that have resulted in a host of negative impacts: from urban sprawl and congestion to loss of community identity and excess air and water pollution. They offer a better approach - one that blends form and function. Through case studies and photos from around the country, 'Creating Green Roads' provides an examination of all aspects of green roads, from transportation policy to the basics of road design, public involvement, road ecology, and the economics of sustainable roads. This comprehensive guide offers a practical strategy for rethinking how we design, plan, and maintain our transportation infrastructure.
