International in perspective, with authors from nearly twenty countries, the book successfully manages to provide a wide-ranging view of the problems facing modern cities and their solutions.The papers included were originally presented at the First International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability. This took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, a city which has provided the setting for many environmental initiatives of great importance for the rest of the world, and the case of Rio and other Brazilian cities is therefore presented in detail by national specialists.
