Connecting People While Preserving the Planet

Description

Originally published in French, Jean Poulit’s “”Connecting People While Preserving the Planet: Essays on Sustainable Development”” offers philosophical insights that hinge on striking a balance between prosperity, well-being, and respect for our living planet. In this book, Poulit contests generally accepted ideas of transportation and quality of life by suggesting that if even a small part of a nation’s wealth is dedicated to combating the negative environmental effects of human activity, balance will be achieved. Based on research and observations conducted over more than 30 years, “”Connecting People While Preserving the Planet”” will prove illuminating to futurists, transportation officials, urban planners, government officials, and environmentalists worldwide.
