Together with Changing Stocks, Flows, and Behaviors in Industrial Ecosystems (2008), this is one of two companion books describing multidisciplinary analytical concepts and tools for exploring the dynamics of industrial ecosystems, which "consist of the interplay of producers, consumers and regulatory agencies that exchange materials, energy and information with each other and their environment," to quote editors Ruth (U. of Maryland, US) and Davidsdottir (U. of Iceland, Iceland). In this volume, the focus is on the dynamics of regions and networks (the other focuses on the dynamics of materials and energy flows). It contains 13 papers that present research on such topics as ozone formation potential from natural gas use in a typical residential building in Pittsburgh, US; estimating generalized regional input-output systems in the case of Australia; the economic and environmental consequences of reduced air transport services in Pennsylvania; design approach frameworks, regional metabolism, and scenarios for sustainability; understanding and shaping the evolution of sustainable large-scale socio-technical systems; industrial ecosystems and transportation planning; and developing strategies for promoting energy efficiency.
