James Kunstler<\/a>, a renowned writer and a long-time expert on city planning, suburbia, sustainable development (in particular, New Urbanism), and peak oil, goes into depth on the worldwide peak oil crisis we are starting to face. His most well-known books are “The Geography of Nowhere<\/em> (1994), a history of American\u00a0suburbia and urban development, and the more recent\u00a0The Long Emergency<\/em> (2005), where he argues that declining oil production is likely to result in the end of industrialized society as we know it and force Americans to live in smaller-scale, localized, agrarian (or semi-agrarian) communities.” The Geography of Nowhere<\/em> is a\u00a0classic city planning and New Urbanist text that is also a ton of fun to read. I have not read The Long Emergency<\/em> yet.<\/p>\n
