Featuring conversations with cutting-edge green thinkers from around the world—including Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman and Nobel Prize–winning economist Paul Krugman—this collection of interviews from Urban Land magazine's "Green Quotient" column explores the green issues, challenges, and trends facing real estate development today. Each column provides a glimpse into the important issues of a particular moment, from significant political changes and advances in the green-building industry to the country's energy roller-coaster ride and the current economic crisis.
