…another big office tower? What about the giant Transbay development plan? If you're going to stuff 12,000+ people anywhere, it's better to do it in an already dense area to take advantage of efficiencies. Green Metropolis is an interesting read about big cities and sustainability: http://www.amazon.com/Green-Metropolis-Smaller-Driving-Susta...
Living small(er) in order to minimize carbon footprint makes sense. Green Metropolis by David Owen is a fantastic book that makes the case for Manhattan being a great blueprint for the ideal city of the future -- people living more densely = less energy use individually & less "space"…
This topic is discussed at length in the book, "Green Metropolis". It's part of a bigger issue of always putting cars first. You can't build a large building without first doing a traffic study. If you bring too much traffic, you can't build it. Never mind that traffic…
…又一座大型写字楼？那个庞大的 Transbay 开发计划又是怎么回事？如果你要把 12000 多人塞到某个地方，最好是塞进一个本来就很密集的区域，以便利用集约效益。《Green Metropolis》是一本关于大城市和可持续发展的有趣读物：http://www.amazon.com/Green-Metropolis-Smaller-Driving-Susta...

为了尽量减少碳足迹而过更小（或更紧凑）的生活是有道理的。David Owen 写的《Green Metropolis》是一本极好的书，它论证了曼哈顿何以成为未来理想城市的绝佳蓝图——居住密度更高 = 个人能源消耗更少，占用的“空间”也更少…

《Green Metropolis》这本书里对这个话题进行了详细讨论。这是一个更大的问题的一部分，即永远把汽车放在第一位。不先做交通评估，你就不能建大楼。如果你会带来太多交通流量，那你就不能建。完全不管交通…
