Towards an investigation of sustainable housing / David D'Amour.: NH15-753/1993E-PDF

"This paper investigates the relationship between sustainable development and housing. Its purpose is to demonstrate the need to reconsider prevailing patterns of residential development given the environmental impacts associated with today’s housing and the many different strategies available to reduce these impacts. The paper examines the cumulative environmental impacts that have been incurred as a result of urbanization, and quantifies, where possible, the residential sector’s contribution to these impacts. Opportunities to mitigate housing-related environmental impacts are also explored"--Introd., p. [2].
