1. The statistics are from the International

Council on Clean Transportation’s European

Vehicle Market Statistics 2013. The current

numbers and 2030 predictions for light and

heavy vehicles are from this source. The

population statistics in this paragraph are

compiled from multiple sources that have

variations in methodology, time frame, and

so on. The resulting ratios of vehicles to

people should be understood as approxima-

tions. Explanation of the ratios not spelled

out in the text: for Canada, there were about

22 million cars and trucks on the road for a

population of about 35 million, or 0.62 vehicle

per person; for Australia, 15 million vehicles for

23 million people (0.652 vehicle per person);

for Japan, 75 million vehicles for 128 million

people (0.59 vehicle per person); and for the

European Union, 274 vehicles for about 500

million people, or 0.55 vehicle per person.

2. Vehicle Projections for European Union coun-

tries are from a 2006 paper, Vehicle Ownership

and Income Growth, Worldwide: 1960—2030,

by Joyce Dargay of the University of Leeds,

Chapter 5

1. Some historians have written that the

great extension of Parisian boulevards

under Napoleon III was planned to help

the authorities keep control of the city.

It is unlikely that anyone could have

believed this would work, as shown by

how easily the boulevards were blocked

by barricades during the rising of the

Paris Commune in 1870.

2. Much of the statistical information

about the Cheonggyecheon comes

from a presentation by Kie-Wook Kwon,

director of the Water Quality Manage-

ment Division of the Seoul metropolitan

government.

Chapter 6

1. Miami 21 is an apparent exception:

Transect-based nomenclature applied to

the regulations for an entire city. Closer

inspection of the ordinance, however,

reveals many subcategories within the

six transect zones and many additional

districts, so the number of zoning catego-

ries is comparable to a conventional ordi-

nance. There are also significant land use

restrictions within the zones and districts.

Regulations for many areas remain essen-

tially the same except that the name of

the district has been changed. The big

innovations in this ordinance concern

concentrating new development in corri-

dors along major streets.

URBAN PLANNING | DESIGN

Advance Praise for Ecodesign for Cities and Suburbs

“Now impelled by the reality of climate change, we have a huge opportunity to move to a future of greater efficiency, better health, and more happiness. Barnett and Beasley provide a timely blueprint to shape the human habitat.”

—DAVID SUZUKI, Cofounder, David Suzuki Foundation “With the global ‘urban century’ in full swing, will cities old and new, central and suburban, become more sustainable and delightful? With Ecodesign for Cities and Suburbs, Barnett and Beasley show us that the answer is certainly yes. Their insightful approach can and must be ours.”

— ETHAN SELTZER, Professor, Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning, Portland State University

“Barnett and Beasley have authored an inspiring study of ecological principles translated into civic action. They present a jargon-free framework for making cities that redefine our understanding of how places perform in terms of social, economic, and environmental measures. Drawing on their considerable experience in city design and planning from Vancouver to Abu Dhabi, Barnett and Beasley show how thoughtful ecodesign enriches the day-to-day experience of people who live, work, and visit today’s cities.”

—RAYMOND W. GASTIL, Director of City Planning, Pittsburgh

JONATHAN BARNETT is Emeritus Professor of Practice in City and Regional Planning, and former Director of the Urban Design Program, at the University of Pennsylvania. An architect and planner as well as an educator, he is the author of numerous books and articles on the theory and practice of city design.

LARRY BEASLEY is the retired Co-Chief Planner for the City of Vancouver. He is now the Distinguished Practice Professor of Planning at the University of British Columbia and the founding principal of Beasley and Associates, an international planning consultancy. He is a member of the Order of Canada, his country’s premier civilian honor for lifetime achievement.
