As cities evolve at unprecedented speed and scale, traditional digital twins—virtual models of physical urban systems—fall short in capturing the dynamic and complex nature of urban life. This book bridges the gap between digital urban representations and the dynamic processes that shape our cities.Moving beyond conventional data and technological infrastructure, this work formulates a comprehensive framework for embedding urban dynamics and complexity into digital twins. It reimagines them as living systems that adapt, learn and evolve in real time, near real time and over the long horizon. Through integrated feedback loops between data, physical infrastructure, high-dimensional models and reduced-order approximations, digital twins are transformed into powerful tools for the modeling, simulation, prediction and proactive management of urban development.This book presents cutting-edge methods to learn, simplify and encode urban dynamics and complexity into digital twins—whether or not the underlying mechanisms are fully understood. It also addresses critical challenges such as scalability, uncertainty propagation, network sensing and data quality, and demonstrates how dynamic digital twins can be continually refined through new information and emerging insights.At the intersection of urban theory, artificial intelligence, machine learning and big spatiotemporal data, this book charts a new course for the modeling and governance of cities. It is a vital resource for researchers, practitioners and decision-makers across disciplines—inviting collaboration between academia, industry, government and professionals working on the frontlines of our ever-changing urban environments.Explore a bold vision for cities that can think, adapt and respond—one where digital twins become not just mirrors, but engines of transformation.

Implement digital transformation that builds resilience, delivers sustainable value and stands up to global disruption.

Digital Sustainability is a strategic guide for senior leaders, policymakers and consultants who need to align advanced technologies with long-term resilience, responsible governance and enduring performance. Written by Catherine Mulligan and Shivam Kishore, the book positions digital transformation as a lever for sustainability, not just efficiency or growth. In a world shaped by climate shocks, geopolitical instability and accelerating technological change, leaders must balance profitability, stakeholder expectations and urgent environmental and social responsibilities.

While AI, IoT and blockchain are reshaping industries, many organizations remain unprepared to govern these technologies in ways that create durable value and avoid unintended harm. Digital Sustainability addresses this gap with practical, scalable frameworks that help leaders operationalize transformation across strategy, culture, operations and policy, ensuring technology remains in service of people, the planet and long-term organizational value.

You will learn how to:
· Build organizational resilience across strategy, culture and operations
· Apply AI, IoT and blockchain for sustainable, measurable impact
· Govern digital technologies responsibly at enterprise and policy level
· Integrate sustainability into core digital transformation decisions
· Balance innovation, risk and long-term value creation

With robust, ready-to-use models and real-world examples, Digital Sustainability equips senior decision-makers to lead confidently through disruption and deliver transformation that endures.

Themes include: digital sustainability, organizational resilience, responsible technology, AI governance, sustainable transformation, long-term value creation

Project Stakeholder Engagement provides concepts and frameworks that can help the reader gain insights into a project's stakeholders, and how to engage them. It also gives suggestions for how to identify and understand stakeholders, and how to create an engagement plan with communication and other activities.Readers will gain essential skills to drive project success by learning to systematically analyse stakeholders and develop targeted engagement strategies. The book delivers these benefits through research-based frameworks illustrated with real-world examples, mini-cases highlighting key concepts, and comprehensive case studies bridging theory and practice. Written primarily for undergraduate and postgraduate students in project management and business administration, this book is equally valuable for practising project managers, consultants, and executives seeking to enhance their stakeholder engagement skills. It's particularly relevant for courses in project management, project stakeholder engagement, and value creation.Supporting materials include PowerPoint slides summarizing key frameworks and an instructor's manual with teaching notes for case studies, facilitating effective classroom discussion and application of the book's principles.

The future belongs not to those who maintain the status quo, but to those who can envision and create systems that allow humanity and our planet to flourish together. This book is an invitation for you to become an evolutionary leader.As we face unprecedented polycrises-climate change, social inequality, economic instability-traditional leadership approaches are proving inadequate. This groundbreaking book challenges business leaders to transcend conventional thinking and become architects of a more sustainable, abundant future. Drawing on Buckminster Fuller's visionary framework and cutting-edge systems thinking, this book offers more than theory-it provides a practical pathway to becoming an evolutionary leader capable of addressing our most complex challenges. It presents seven transformative competencies that elevate you from problem-solver to systems transformer and actionable strategies for designing innovations that serve people, profit, and planet simultaneously.While other books merely diagnose global challenges or present utopian visions, this work bridges the critical gap between awareness and action. It is for forward-thinking executives, entrepreneurs, social innovators, policy makers, and change agents committed to creating meaningful impact and collaborate in an interconnected world.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

The question of what purposes companies should serve is crucial within company law doctrine and jurisprudence. Legislators in various jurisdictions are increasingly questioning shareholder primacy and considering the interests of stakeholders such as employees, creditors, and consumers, as well as environmental protection. This book explores these developments and moves beyond the dichotomy of the shareholder and stakeholder models. As limiting the discussion to these two variants is misleading from the perspective of corporate sustainability, the book seeks to re-evaluate the concept of the company's interest in light of the current ecological, social, and economic challenges arising under the umbrella of sustainability.
