Attending to the previously neglected problem of the energy and bio-climatic implications of urbanization in the tropics, Emmanuel (no affiliation given) presents new ways of approaching urban design from the perspective of climate design. He focuses on design goals such as radiant cooling, ventilation and evaporative cooling and discusses simple strategies, including "shadow umbrellas" and sun avoidance. Emmanuel ends with a series of strategies that facilitate movement between interconnected urban activity patterns in a climatically suitable manner. Spon Press is an imprint of Taylor & Francis.
