From the reviews:

Future Cities: Dynamics and Sustainability, is an edited volume that consists of theoretical and analytical articles. & The editors are optimistic that despite all the impacts cities are making on natural processes, cities are not necessarily in conflict with the environment. & the book presents articles with a highly academic focus that should prove useful to students and researchers who are interested in urban metabolism and its sustainability linkages.
