Abstract

What is a green city? What do we imply when we say that Cairo Egypt is �water scarce �and Reykjavik - Iceland is �water rich� How cities can survive the environmental challenges posed by uncontrolled growth? What factors disturb the sustainability of urban environmental quality? These are the few of the many questions Nevin Cohen and Paul Robbins tried to address in the smartly written book titled �Green Cities An A to Z Guide� where topics are arranged in alphabetical order giving book flavour of an encyclopaedia. This book is certainly the most valuable of the complete SAG reference series on 'Green Society' which aims for moving towards a sustainable future.
