Eco-city and Green Community: The Evolution of Planning Theory and Practice, edited by Zhenghong Tang, explores the conceptual foundations, theoretical evolution, and practical implementation of sustainable urban development. The book examines how planning theory has responded to escalating environmental challenges, rapid urbanization, climate change, and resource constraints, tracing the shift from traditional growth-oriented planning toward integrated ecological and community-based approaches.
Through interdisciplinary perspectives, the volume analyzes the development of eco-city principles, green infrastructure strategies, low-carbon urban design, and resilience planning. It highlights the role of governance, policy innovation, technological advancement, and public participation in shaping environmentally responsible cities. Case studies from diverse geographic contexts illustrate how eco-city concepts are translated into practice, revealing both achievements and ongoing challenges in implementation. http://172.20.27.22:4000/handle/123456789/122
