Doughnut for Urban Development - A Manual

Created by experts in climate science, impact assessment, ecology, and building design, this book introduces an innovative framework by applying the principles of the book 'Doughnut Economics' by Kate Raworth to a specific industry. In terms of urban development, the "doughnut" consists of an inner ring defining social standards and an outer ring outlining ecological limits, in turn fostering regenerative and distributive communities. As a manual, it empowers developers with comprehensive knowledge and practical tools to achieve sustainable urban development, and includes chapters on social foundation, ecological ceiling, planetary boundaries, and business design.
