Goonewardena Kanishka: The Future of
Planning at the End of History

The Future of Planning at the End of History

Smart Cities

Assembling Smart Cyber-Physical Systems: Heterogeneous, Diffuse and Green Technological Infrastructures for Cities and Industries offers a comprehensive approach to design, implement, and use Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs)-computing systems with a strong interaction between the physical environment (equipped with sensors and actuators) and the cyber realm (the Cloud). Through a carefully structured methodological approach to systems design, readers will understand how the infrastructure continuum represents our environment, where we can move from edge computing to the Cloud, going through fog resources to set up an entire framework for services deployment and application in smart cities and industries. As dealing with complex systems has become increasingly difficult, CPSs are increasingly critical to cope with integrating software, which people are used to, with hardware, which is distributed among different domains. This book shows how to deal with such systems where there is no distinction among the different parts: computing, storage, networking and IoT all contribute to setting up the modern processing environments, thus it is mandatory to keep them simultaneously under control. The book follows this holistic approach and supports the reader in dealing with CPSs of growing complexity, where theory and practice continuously mix to give a concrete structure to the discussion. It teaches how to design a network architecture with all the virtualized resources in place, how to optimize their interaction and keep everything under the full control of the system manager. This book allows students, researchers, practitioners, and professionals alike to learn the theory behind CPSs put that theory into practice in smart city and industry applications.

Heterogeneous, Diffuse and Green Technological Infrastructures for Cities and Industries

Assembling Smart Cyber-Physical Systems

This book draws inspiration from one hundred places-towns, buildings, streets, rooms, villages-from different eras and from around the world, that have played an important role in the author's career in architecture, as a researcher, practitioner and teacher. Insights come from everyday places as well as from famous landmarks, from the house to the public building, from the street to the city. The book is organized chronologically, beginning with the authors' earliest encounters with architecture as a child in New York, leading to his most recent experiences as an experienced professor and scholar who has traveled to over 50 countries on six continents. Readers are encouraged to be explicit about how they look at the world, to see how looking further and deeper at the places they encounter in their everday lives and in their travels can enrich their ideas and understandings about the world around them.With beautiful photographs, supplemented by drawings and diagrams, the book will interest people who are fascinated by architecture and cities, including teachers, practitioners and students of architecture and urban design.

The Omega Series

This book is based on the underlying premise that much can be learned from contemporary thinking about the treatment of complexity, uncertainty, risk-taking and the importance of context in decision making for planning, in fields where these concepts have long been deployed in complex problem-solving. It explores the sophisticated theoretical approaches which have been developed in order to analyse the issues surrounding that complexity. In so doing, the book discusses the overriding influence of complexity theory on the whole field of risk and uncertainty as it impacts on all stages of the project life-cycle. It furthermore examines various decision-support methods, tools and techniques that have been developed and employed by different professions and disciplines with the aim of addressing risk, uncertainty and complexity in planning in a range of different contexts. The book especially explores the parameters of these different contexts and their characteristics in an effort to identify both generic and context-specific lessons that may be of value to planning exercises for Mega Transport Projects.

Planning, Appraisal and Delivery of Infrastructure Mega Projects 2: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Risk, Uncertainty and Complexity

Improving Environmental and Human Health with Community Trees and Forests provides the latest and most comprehensive information on community forests globally, how these trees improve human health and well-being, the value of community trees, and what local land managers, from the lot to regional scale, could do to improve the benefits provided by community trees. It offers a complete understanding of the benefits and costs associated with trees in cities and how these benefits occur. This book facilitates the creation of sustainable community forests that provide optimal benefits to individuals and society. It takes a systems approach, focusing on the forest population rather than the individual tree, and providing information on the best tree species and designs to produce optimal effects. The book is divided into three major sections: The Basics, Urban Forest Benefits, and Improving the Urban Environment with Trees. It covers how cities affect our local environment, the monetary value of trees, and specific steps that land managers should follow to manage and improve their local tree and forest population. This comprehensive resource is valuable for city forest and park managers, policy makers, regional managers, and non-profit groups.

The book discusses the rationale, highlighting the importance of intercity transport agenda especially for developing Asia. It reviews the evolution of different transport systems and role of intercity transport policy over time including recently emerging challenges particularly in the developed world. The book also includes country cases and analysis. It looks at key thematic issues which are at the core of intercity transport policy, covering all land transport modes. Cross country data on intercity transport variables are utilized for quantitative analysis on the relevant issues.

This book provides a user-friendly guide to the impact of environmental design on individual and population health, as well as the relevant roles of social and behavioral factors. It explores how architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, and urban planning can contribute to a healthier, more equitable, and more resilient society. Employing an evidence-based and solution-oriented approach, it provides a much-needed textbook for environmental designers and public health professionals.Written by a team of established experts, the book includes:<ul> <li>An introduction to the concept of environmental design for health and the relevant roles of social and behavioral factors.</li> <li>An overview of important theories about human-environment relationships; environmental assessment, perception and cognition; and health behavior.</li> <li>Discussions of how to design for physical, mental, and social health, respectively, covering various design disciplines and environmental scales.</li> <li>Overviews of more specialized topics, such as design for healing, design for active living, design for environmental justice, and design across the lifespan.</li> <li>Case studies involving a range of physical environments including interiors and buildings (e.g., healthcare facilities, senior living environments, educational facilities), parks, urban spaces, and residential communities.</li> <li>A timely focus on emerging technology which affects design for health.</li> <li>An overview of integrating design and research for a healthier future.</li> </ul>It is essential reading for all environmental designers and public health professionals.

AI-Driven Urban Planning

This book explores how maps generated through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) can be used to integrate principles of health equity and environmental justice into community planning and decision-making. To do this, the book puts forward the 3Ps of GIS mapping: People, Place, and Policy. This book demonstrates how different maps reveal different spatial disparities for each topic, providing alternative lens for addressing sociöcultural, political, or geographical issues. Using a step-by-step approach, and covering the core concepts by which GIS maps can be interpreted, it builds to provide a comprehensive understanding of what a GIS-generated map may tell us, though crucially also what it may not. Featuring illustrated examples throughout, this book is essentially a tool kit to support a nuanced and holistic perspective on community planning.It will appeal to policymakers, planners, and public health consultants, as well as students moving toward this field.

Routledge Library Editions: Ethnoscapes

Originally published in 1993, as part of the Ethnoscapes: Current Challenges in the Environmental Social Sciences series, reissued now with a new series introduction, Housing: Design, Research and Education, demonstrated some of the diversity and richness of the research being undertaken in housing at time, which took as its starting point peoples' notion of home and the way in which a sense of home is captured distilled and expressed through various facets of design, and conversely the urgent need for architects and planners to take seriously the everyday scale and scope of peoples' home experience. The breadth of subject background and cultural location from which these chapters are drawn provides stimulating reading at the same time as presenting a challenging choice of perspectives.
