Abstrakt: The book "Climate resilient, green and low carbon built environment" edited by Ashok Kumar Jain provides scientific and technical information on environment-friendly and sustainable technologies for urban development. The book covers a wide range of topics related to climate change and sustainable development, emphasizing the need for optimal use of natural resources and setting new priorities to create a sustainable, low-carbon habitat. It explores strategies for urban development, such as circular metabolism, climate resilience, clean air, clean water, clean transport, clean energy, and preservation of the cultural and natural environment. While the book lacks a detailed explanation of implementing these principles in developing countries with limited economic resources, it offers valuable insights for professionals involved in urban planning and developers seeking sustainable development goals. The book's ideas align with Ukraine's efforts to integrate into the European Green Deal and implement green reforms in its post-war recovery. [Extracted from the article]
