Foreword- I
A proper planning system is extremely important to guarantee that urban development is in the public interest. Urban Revolution of Sri Lanka, From Evolution to Revolution is an outstanding publication describing the remarkable story of transformation of Colombo to a world class city.
Having worked in generally urban infrastructure development area for few decades and initiating the formation of the Green Building Council of Sri Lanka in 2019, I followed this publication with a lot of interest. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to write this foreword. This book offers a wealth of information on several topics related to the urban revolution, all systematically presented.
The highly qualified authors have brought together an inspiring publication covering important milestones. We must recognise the vast academic and professional experience of the authors, which is translated into a broader vision of new urbanism through viable and tangible suggestions.
