Dark Laboratory

Urban regeneration research studies not only on the design aspects of urban planning but also takes into account the demography, sociological aspects, cultural shifts, economic development over time, and also the physical deterioration of urban areas. There are many factors that can contribute to a 'un-sustainable' city: high unemployment rates, income in-equality, cultural shifts and changes due to immigration and migration, along with physical deterioration as a result of a natural disaster or corruption and ill-advised foresight.Forging a Sustainable Future for Asian Cities collects and analyses as many instances of these negative factors and their positive solutions from the vast number of cities at various stages of urban life. This volume contains case studies resulting from meticulous field work and analysis on the trends and concepts in urban regeneration and planning.Although aimed at researchers and practicioners in the field of urban planning, advanced undergraduate and postgraduates in Urban Planning and Design would also benefit from the data and insight contained in the volume.

Forging A Sustainable Future For Asian Cities: Case Studies On Urban Regeneration

The Surge is a timely, gripping account of humanity's battle against rising waters - and the urgent choices we must make for our future.Rising waters are flooding cities and homes across the globe, from Florida to Nepal. By 2050, 150 million people will live below the high tide line, facing an uncertain future as cities like London and Shanghai grapple with worsening floods. In this timely, panoramic and gripping book, climate editor Jeevan Vasagar traces humanity's responses to flooding over the centuries, from the deadly North Sea floods of 1953 to the catastrophic events of today.He explores the costly and complicated choices governments face: fight the water with ever- expanding defences, or adapt and move? Drawing on groundbreaking engineering solutions, Vasagar argues for a radical rethink - combining resistance and accommodation as we reimagine our cities. A stark warning, but also a message of hope, The Surge is essential reading for understanding how climate change is reshaping our world - and what we can do about it.

Fischaufstiegsanlagen

This book considers a subject of crucial importance to all, the future of the planet that we live on. As the world's population continues to grow, the ability to sustain and improve the lives of the earth's inhabitants has incurred tremendous costs. Together all must look for ways to sustain the planet going forward while carefully and fairly managing crucial resources and environmental impact of our actions. We asked high school age students from around the world to weigh in on what they see as the planet's opportunities and challenges going forward, offering their solutions on how to best embrace or mitigate what lies ahead. The book considers the next generation's perspective on what science might hold for the planet's future, including examples of how science is already positioned in many instances to enhance and help sustain our world.

Solutions For Future Earth: Students' Ideas For A Better Planet

Explores innovative planning and design strategies to tackle housing affordability, offering case studies and solutions that enhance livability, community resilience, and opportunity, from urban scale to home design.

New socio-economic and environmental realities have brought about a "perfect storm" of circumstances that are forcing a search for innovative solutions in the built residential environment, including affordable housing design and construction. The need to rethink planning practices and align them with contemporary environmental constraints has taken center stage in recent years. The depletion of non-renewable resources, elevated levels of greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change are a few of the challenges that force designers to reconsider conceptual approaches in favor of ones that promote a better suitability between built and natural environments. Consideration of concepts that lower a place's carbon footprint by minimizing driving, using renewable energy, and preserving the site's natural assets is one of the contemporary strategies that architects, planners, and builders are integrating into their philosophy and practice. 
Given these emerging challenges, the need to think innovatively about planning affordable communities while learning from notable case studies is at the heart of the proposed book. The intention is to explore principles and to present outstanding international case studies that offer valuable lessons. 
The book is also about livability-where design touches life and the big and small things that make people appreciate homes and neighborhoods. Livability has become an increasingly important lens with which to analyze a city, considering population demands, built infrastructure, and ecosystems. Community requirements for goods and services, in relation to what is available to a population is an indication of a place's livability. To foster livable, affordable communities throughout all the stages of life, the social, environmental, and structural needs of a place should be considered and planned for through innovative designs and policies. 
The material assembled can be of help to planners, architects, and builders designing and planning a large community or individual homes. It can be used by for-profit firms or nonprofit organizations planning on initiating ownership or rental accommodations. Although some of the standards described in the book are relevant to the North American market, its basic principles can be used internationally. Similarly, even though many of the designs described here are for mid- to low-rise wood-frame structures, their concepts are applicable to tall, large buildings.

Affordable Housing for Livable Cities

How can design shine a light on humanity's relationship with the planet, its ecosystems and inhabitants, now and in the future? Global challenges like climate change and ecosystem degradation are proving that a singular disciplinary approach is inadequate to respond to issues where societal behaviours, individual choices, political decisions, economic, technological and scientific developments are so densely entangled - not least in design. But what happens when we turn things around and decentre "the human" to look at our relationship with the planet, its ecosystems and inhabitants beyond the capitalist human-nature binary worldview? Design Beyond the Human is a collection of essays by international scholars, designers and engaged citizens traversing activism, anthropology, conservation, creative writing, design practice, design theory, economics, education, environmental humanities, ethics, history, indigenous knowledge, law, philosophy, poetry, politics, regenerative agriculture, science, sociology and technology. Divided into three sections - We Are Not Alone, Design Beyond the Human, and Mediating Human-Non-Human Relations Through Design - the text generates conversations capable of thinking about life on planet Earth, challenging the Anglo-European anthropocentric conceptualisation of design that dominates practice, education, and academic discourse. Each section is unique: charting the transdisciplinary cultural perspective that is required to comprehend our predicament, the critique of human-centred design and its interdependence with capitalism, and the nascent practices and projects that are attempting to reconcile humanity's possible relationship with the planet, its ecosystems and inhabitants. The book offers the reader an opportunity to engage with expertise, knowledge, methodologies and lived experiences from across disciplines shaped by shared concerns and provides an opportunity to question if design in a more-than-human way might reimagine design's relationship to capitalism and contemporary lifestyles. Will our planetary future be merely an ecologically aware version of today, or, in going beyond the human, might we develop a transdisciplinary perspective capable of imagining an alternative vision of life on Earth?
