Janis Birkeland presents the innovative new paradigm of Positive Development in which the built environment provides greater life quality; health; amenity and safety for all without sacrificing resources or money. With a different form of design; development itself can become a sustainability solution. A cornerstone of this new paradigm is the eco-retrofitting of the vast urban fabric we already inhabit. The author presents a revolutionary new tool called SmartMode to achieve this end. This book challenges everyone working in or studying the areas of sustainable development; planning; architecture or the built environment to rethink their current ideas and practices.
