| Summary, etc. |
"Dickson Despommier, Emeritus Professor at Columbia, pioneered the concept of vertical farming--i.e. growing crops inside tall buildings--which could become a solution to food scarcity and food insecurity. When his previous book THE VERTICAL FARM was first published by Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's Press in 2010, no such farms existed; now hundreds of them, comprising a multi-billion-dollar industry, can be found all over the world. Now, with his new book, THE NEW CITY, Despommier presents us with a bold new vision of our urban future, if only we are willing to listen to what nature can teach us about the best way to grow food, store carbon, harvest rainwater, and renew energy for the cities of the future. Drawing on a unique concept called "biomimicry," Despommier's book will be both a synthesis of how following principles of nature can help us create a new built environment for cities in which we can thrive, as well as a courageous call to action on how we can achieve it"-- |
