People, landscape, sustainability: A handbook for community innovation promoters by Dirk Funck, Beata Dreksler, Ellen Fetzer
Publication Date: 2023
This book aims to help communities initiate and sustain local systems change. Experiences from a variety of transfer projects between universities and civil society in different countries and cultures are included. The focus is on the development of methodological competencies, which we explain along the Design Thinking process and provide with practical implementation recommendations. This is followed by a case study detailing how business models are developed from tested prototypes for social innovations and social enterprises and how business plans are created. The book is aimed at anyone involved in working in and with communities. This includes students, teachers, and action researchers from academia as well as staff in city governments or NGOs and, of course, members of communities who want to grow into the role of community promoter.

Planning for Climate Change by Elisabeth M. Hamin Infield (Editor); Yaser Abunnasr (Editor); Robert L. Ryan (Editor)
Publication Date: 2019
This book provides an overview of the large and interdisciplinary literature on the substance and process of urban climate change planning and design, using the most important articles from the last 15 years to engage readers in understanding problems and finding solutions to this increasingly critical issue. The Reader's particular focus is how the impacts of climate change can be addressed in urban and suburban environments--what actions can be taken, as well as the need for and the process of climate planning. Both reducing greenhouse gas emissions as well as adapting to future climate are explored.
