There are many, many cures for simple problems in our gardens and at our fingertips. This book is an excellent way to get back in touch with this knowledge. G-AND USE ) "Energy Aspects of Urban Planning and Development," S32-1975, Hans Henrikson, Swedish Building Research Summaries, 6-7 5 Swedish Council for Building Research Mail Fack S-192, Stockholm Office Atlasmuren 1, Stockholm Sweden The energetics of our land use patterns has been neglected in exploring the implications of our depletion of fossil fuels. The dependence of our city patterns on transportation-in turn, dependent upon petroleum- is very precarious. In addition, geographic location, size, density, age and inner differentiation are dimensions of urban form that influence significantly a city's use of energy. A Dutch report, for instance, indicates that doubling residential density from 15 to 30 dwelling units per hectare could reduce transportation energy use by 25 percent. Separation of home and work place cause an estimated doubling of energy use in a city. Henrikson surveys the limited research yet done in this important area.
