ABSTRACT
The overall aim of this book is to identify and explain the key trends in urban retrofitting which are likely to transform cities over the next 20–30 years and beyond to 2050. The book examines the key drivers and trends in the energy, water and waste and resource use arenas that are underpinning this transition, and, drawing on recent research for the EPSRC Retrofit 2050 programme, 1 sets this in the context of the wider agenda of urban retrofitting, both in the UK and internationally.
