“The design of built environments is at the very core of addressing our climate emergency… we need to design buildings, landscapes, and cities in a more sustainable manner… Rob Fleming, Saglinda Roberts, and Chitsanzo Isaac provide an excellent, thorough guide to do just that in their new edition of Sustainable Design for the Built Environment. Their text is especially valuable for students just beginning their design journeys… [Their approach] balances equity, ecological, and economic concerns to ensure a healthy planet for future generations… Sustainable Design for the Built Environment presents a comprehensive foundation and an invaluable guide.” Frederick Steiner (FASLA, FAAR, RAAR, SITES AP), Dean, Paley Professor, Co-Executive Director The McHarg Center, Weitzman School of Design, University of Pennsylvania, USA

The authors use integral theory throughout to integrate perspectives across scales, worldviews and developmental evolutions in the discipline. The avant-garde for this century is big picture thought driving life-enhancing design. If you heard that sustainability and resilience have lost their meaning and significance—think deeper, and read on."" Mark DeKay, architect, author of Integral Sustainable Design: Transformative Perspectives and co-author of Experiential Design Schemas
