Living Green or Looking Green: A Review of 'A Place in the Sun:

Green Living and the Solar Home'

There are many urbanisms that compete for the affections of urbanists, but there is

one concept behind which they all unite: sustainability. The proponents of the

different urbanisms don't always agree on what urban (or other) development is

sustainable, but they all link urban development with sustainability. Even more

important, environmentalists have come to agree. This is progress. Traditional, "back

to nature" environmentalists viewed cities as inherently a nti-environmental. Cities

were, after all, the most concentrated form of hum an interference with the natural

world.

Now that's changed, because (i) the data show that on a per capita basis and on a per

economic unit basis cities have less impact on the environment than less dense

development patterns, and (ii), from a global perspective, it's now recognized that

population growth slows when populations urbanize.

This sense of the city as being environmentally good is an argument based on the

urban form w rit large, on the density and economics of cities. A key moment in the

popular comprehension of the city as sustainable by its very nature wa s the

publication of "Green Manhattan," David Owen's 2004 article in The New Yorker

showing how his old apartment and life in Manha ttan were more sustainable than

the house he moved to and the life he lived in the verdant New England countryside.

Given that we live in an age obsessed with technology, however, it is not surprisingthat there are environmentalists who seek sustainability in technological solutions,

regardless of the form of human settlement. For them, an electric car operating on

renewable power is part of the solution, even if the impact would be less if the driver

of the car didn't need to drive it in the first place. The same goes for houses that use

solar power and are constructed from renewable materials -- they are considered

sustainable even if they a re accessible only by car and no matter in what wilderness

they may be located.

(http://www.indiebound.org/?aff=HuffingtonPost)

Into this controversy, although not acknowledging it explicitly, enters environmental

writer Stephen Snyder. Snyder has written a new and surprisingly edifying book for

Rizzoli called A Place in the Sun: Green Living And the Solar Home. I say

"surprisingly" because the book looks like a typical coffee table "shelter" book, and the

title, focusing on the sun and the solar home, implies that the book will be mostly

about technology.

Fortunately, the book offers readers a lot more substance than a typical picture book.

(Although that doesn't mean it doesn't have the beautiful photographs that one

expects from Rizzoli.) While Snyder writes about plenty of posh digs in the woods

with solar energy, recycled materials and cooling breezes, he is not afraid to go urban.

In fact, the book features several urban high-rises, including EnV, a Chicago tower

with 249 apartments and 30,000 square feet of retail, the Visionaire, a 35-story,mixed-use tower in New York City with 250 condominiums, Greenbridge, a 215,000

square foot mixed-use development in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, as well as smaller

urban infill projects such as Cherokee Lofts, a four-story, mixed-use project in Los

Angeles, and Step Up on Fifth, a development in downtown Santa Monica that

provides residences and services for mentally disabled homeless people. The book also

includes many exam ples of infill single-family homes.

That being said, most of the book is dedicated to one-off residences typically located in

hard-to-get-to places. One must question how sustainable it is to locate a house far

off the beaten track, no matter what technologically advanced systems it uses to

reduce obvious environmental impacts. One has to consider not only the

transportation and other logistical costs of supporting the house, but also the loss of

habitat that results when nature lovers plunk their homes in the m iddle of nature.

Snyder is not unaware of this. Regarding a large house built in the high desert of

central Oregon, Snyder writes that "[f]or some would-be green homeowners, a

remote building site presents a daunting challenge. In addition to logistical hurdles,

including exceptionally high construction costs ... owners are obliged to consider the

effect on the surroundings." Oddly, however, Snyder goes on to say that a "new

generation of sustainable prefabricated homes has greatly reduced these obstacles."

Does dropping a prefab house in the middle of nowhere, instead of building one from

scratch, solve any of the larger environmental issues?

Snyder does provide an informative catalog of technologies and resources that are

now a vailable to reduce the environmental impact of construction that go far beyond

solar power. These include renewable sources of materials. Unfortunately, the book

does not include an index.

Technology is wonderful, and as less impactful technologies become less expensivethey can have tremendous benefits. But on a per capita basis, nothing beats the

efficiency of that age-old machine for living, the city.
