Sustainable Housing Projects:
Implementing a Conceptual Approach

Such an approach is particularly suitable for a medium scale level, involving neighbourhood development, and a number of examples on this scale level are included.
Sustainable Housing Projects presents knowledge gained over the last 15 years developing new sustainable housing projects in the Netherlands, by well known experts.
