About  [Edit]

This book describes an exciting new field where environmental considerations are viewed as opportunities to create fundamentally better buildings and communities—less wasteful of land and resources, healthier and more comfortable to occupy, cheaper to run, more productive to work in, and ultimately more profitable to build and operate.



Based on 80 case studies drawn from Green Development Services' extensive worldwide research and consulting work, it distills proven procedures, potential pitfalls, and practical lessons that will help you shorten the learning curve on the path to environmentally sound, community-supportive, and financially rewarding real-estate development.



If you're a developer, architect, planner, contractor, lender, or city official, this is a book that speaks your language. Every stage of the development process is examined in detail: market research, site planning, design, approvals, financing, construction, marketing, and occupancy. Also included are lists of project's vital statistics and contacts, books and other information sources, and development strategies.
