Hence the transition from fossil fuel dominated cities to an urban future marked by a radically new, renewable energy infrastructure requires entirely new tools and frames of decision-making.  \u003cp\u003eThis is an original guide to an entirely unprecedented urban transformation, to cities and towns powered by renewable energy. Squarely focused on action, it supports design, planning and management decisions and serves as a practical guide to practitioners, academics and political leaders in communities and cities worldwide, as a useful and well-structured reference text. It is built on the most successful of past and present urban sustainability trends and emerging infrastructure directions, presenting renewable energy applications as offering new and inevitable approaches to urban infrastructure planning and the design of cities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003ca id=\"JACKET_AUTHOR_BIO\" name=\"JACKET_AUTHOR_BIO\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Droege\u003c\/b\u003e is an expert on the role of renewable energy within the fields of urban design, development and urban infrastructure.
