Unsworth, Rachael
'City living' and sustainable development the experience of a UK regional city - 2007 - Town Planning Review 78(6) 2007, 725-747(23) .
Paper draws on a detailed case study of Leeds to argue that 'city living' has the potential to contribute towards sustainable development. Describes the potential use of brownfield land for medium-high density mixed-use schemes, stating that they are viable and reduce dependence upon transport infrastructure. The paper seeks to point out that this is a possible outcome, the reality of city living is economically unstable, 'environmentally ambiguous' and that this has come about as a result of the structure of incentives and a lack of adequate controls on development.
