Influenced by his personal correspondence with Lewis Mumford (widely regarded as one of the foremost urban critics of the century), David Dobereiner's work advances a concept of regional development that balances the needs of the social world with those of the natural ecosystem.

Knowing that global land uses require radical re-thinking, Dobereiner first provides an overview of the important issues in sustainable urban design. His concept of sustainable development includes not only the physical elements of a community, but also the economic and social impacts of development, and the long-term conservation of natural resources.

Taking it one step further, he looks at how development ideals can be translated 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, he believes, is known and is technically feasible.
