In this immensely practical book, Timothy Beatley sets out to answer a simple question: what can Americans learn from Australians about 鈥済reening鈥� city life? Green Urbanism Down Under reports on the current state of 鈥渟ustainability practice鈥� in Australia and the many lessons that U.S. residents can learn from
the best Australian programs and initiatives.
 
Australia is similar to the United States in many ways, especially in its 鈥渆nergy footprint.鈥� For example, Australia鈥檚 per capita greenhouse gas emissions are second only to those of the United States. A similar percentage of its residents live in cities (85 percent in Australia vs. 80 percent in the United States). And it suffers from parallel problems of air and water pollution, a national dependence on automobiles, and high fossil fuel consumption. Still, after traveling throughout Australia, Beatley finds that there are myriad creative responses to these problems鈥攁nd that they offer instructive examples for the United States.
 
Green Urbanism Down Under is a very readable collection of solutions.
Although many of these innovative solutions are little-known outside Australia, they all present practical possibilities for U.S. cities. Beatley describes 鈥済reen transport鈥� projects, 鈥渃ity farms,鈥� renewable energy plans, green living programs, and much more. He considers a host of public policy initiatives and scrutinizes regional and state planning efforts for answers. In closing, he shares his impressions about how Australian results might be applied to U.S. problems.
 
This is a unique book: hopeful, constructive, and filled with ideas that have been proven to work. It is a 鈥渕ust read鈥� for anyone who cares about the future of American cities.
