Summary:	At a time when extreme climatic phenomena, air quality, and industrial impact are among the most pressing issues on the public agenda, the dramatic change in the climate has led to the realization that capitalism has a destructive effect on the environment. Our lifestyle must be reevaluated in order to positively impact both present and future.00The ongoing use of fossil fuels, the development of industrial zones in city centres, and even the growing use of air-conditioning units are leading to a significant rise in temperatures and to the acceleration of extreme climatic change. Nevertheless, most individuals do not yet connect their daily lives to the climate changes in their immediate surroundings, and even those who are aware of these changes do not necessarily choose a course of action. Global warming has been widely recognized by scientists as caused by humans. Efficient solutions to these concerns may be found on a local level, where the engagement of urban communities may prove to be effective in combating environmental damage. This publication addresses an approach involving multiple possibilities for climate-related actions, most notably in the context of individual cities. Six thematic chapters examine case studies from cities including Chicago, New York, Masdar, Hong Kong, Copenhagen, Shanghai, and Tel Aviv.00Exhibition: Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel (18.07. - 15.12.2019).

Description
Summary:	Ongoing use of fossil fuels, the development of industrial zones in city centers, and even our growing reliance on air conditioners have led to extreme climate swings. Now an urgent public concern, global warming alarms ever more people--and yet most of them still hesitate to identify a workable plan of action. Approaching the problem head-on, Solar Guerilla highlights a number of programs, architects, and companies that are already active in such cities as Chicago, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tel Aviv.<br> <br> <br> <br> In a series of case studies, this book focuses on efficient strategies implemented at the local level, where collaboration within communities may be the key to effectively combating environmental damage. As companies like China's Turenscape and Israel's Electreon thrive alongside programs such as Chicago's Third Nature approach to its famous riverwalk, the local efforts begin to yield global results. As Solar Guerilla demonstrates, these and other initiatives may be the best way to counter the emotional fatigue and physical disasters that currently plague us in our all-too-rapidly-changing urban environment.<br> <br>
