As urban regions face the demand to decrease fossil fuel dependency, many cities in the developing world are undertaking initiatives designed to create a greener city by aiming for a more sustainable form of urban development and, to do so, they need to evaluate existing modes of transportation and patterns of land use. Focusing on Oslo, an early leader in urban environmental policy making and a European 'green city' award winner, it argues that this evaluation must adopt and integrate two approaches: firstly, as a process of ecological modernization based on a combination of transit, densification, and mixed use development and secondly, as an opportunity to reconsider the character and sub...

Dette er en beretning om Svanemerkets første tretti år, skrevet i kronologisk orden med korte kapitler som hver for seg skal illustrere ulike aspekter av ordningen. Det er få områder av samfunnslivet hvor det har vært prestert så mye tåkeprat som innenfor miljøvern. Kanskje fordi det er så enkelt å være enige om målene, men så vanskelig å finne de rette løsningene, og leve som man prediker. Hos Svanemerket har man gjort jobben fra dag én, ved å stille konkrete målbare krav til miljøprestasjon og gjøre miljø til et konkurransefortrinn. Det har vært konflikter og uenighet, men ingen kan bestride at miljømerking har ført til betydelige miljøforbedringer. Norden med 30 millioner innbyggere, utgjør verdens tolvte største økonomi, og det gjør en forskjell når næringslivet skal gjøre sine produktendringer og markedsfremstøt. Merket er en suksess langt ut over Nordens grenser.
