Books by IBA Hamburg

International Building Exhibitions (IBAs) are 'booming' at present. Such heightened interest mirrors a greater demand for quality in urban development and architecture. Every IBA is unique and un-repeatable; it makes an impact because it facilitates action outside of customary routine.

City dwellers use the greater part of our energy and yet produce the most pollutants, thus having far-reaching consequences for world climate. This book illuminates causes and examines efforts in architecture, town planning and urban development planning that reflect strategies for living and building with the effects of climate change in mind.
