This book introduces green city planning and practices from the three dimensions of green-building innovation, community development and smart city strategies, and argues that effective implementation of green city planning are a necessary pre-condition for reaching sustainable urban development. A range of authors representing a broad disciplinary spectrum bring together the different standards of green building methods and urban design techniques and clearly sketch the roles of both spatial designers and urban researchers in the implementation of green city planning at regional, community and single-building level in order to arrive at an integrated approach across different scales. 0aCommunity ecology, Biotic. 0aEconomic geography. 0aRegional planning. 0aSustainable architecture. 0aSustainable development.14aLandscape/Regional and Urban Planning.24aCommunity & Population Ecology.24aEconomic Geography.24aSustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.24aSustainable Development.1 aHuang, Ling,1 aPai, Jente,1 aPeng, KuangHui,1 aShen, Zhenjiang,
