 This book talks about balancing the needs of the social world with the needs of the ecosystem. Dobereiner's concept of sustainable development contains not only the physical elements of a community but also its economic and social impacts. Dobereiner looks at how development ideals can be transferred into practical techniques - site planning, designing and building green projects - that conserve natural resources, take advantage of existing urban structures and improve the economic and social dimensions of a community, while considering the financial realities that must be faced. Most of what needs to be done is both known and technically feasible. Dobereiner's development strategy is unique in that it takes into account the pre-existing structure of the community to which it applies. It is realism applied to the most urgent of needs - a manual and manifesto for taking active steps to ensure that conurbations exist properly in synergy with the environment in which they are built and from which they take their energy. The social world of human beings is, in its own right, a living animal and an animal that requires a home.
The environment in which it houses itself can be better harnessed and worked with more effectively - a greater symbiosis between animal and land. Dobereiner's vision applies sensible, achievable planning notions and visionary guidelines to an extremely pressing situation.
