It advocates for the integration of municipal solid waste as a source of energy that recovers vital resources such as fertilizers. This paradigm is implemented through the conservation, recycling, and generation of blue and green energy, including solar and wind power, and the switch to hydrogen as an energy source through indirect gasification of municipal solid waste. Vladimir Novotny's 50 years of teaching and research culminates in this must-have reference that offers architects, engineers, and planners a methodology for building resilient cities of the future that can withstand natural and anthropogenic disasters"-- Provided by publisher.
