Comprising specially selected papers, this book refers to all
aspects of urban environment and provides solutions that lead
towards sustainability. These research studies include
contributions that have been made from a diverse range of
researchers, resulting in a variety of topics and experiences.
Urban areas face a number of challenges related to reducing
pollution, improving main transportation and infrastructure systems
and these challenges can contribute to the development of social
and economic imbalances and require the development of new
solutions. The challenge is to manage human activities, pursuing
welfare and prosperity in the urban environment, whilst considering
the relationships between the parts and their connections with the
living world. The dynamics of its networks (flows of energy matter,
people, goods, information andother resources) are fundamental for
an understanding of the evolving nature of today's cities. Large
cities represent a productive ground for architects, engineers,
city planners, social and political scientists able to conceive new
ideas and time them according to technological advances and human
requirements. The multidisciplinary components of urban planning,
the challenges presented by the increasing size of cities, the
amount of resources required and the complexity of modern society
are all addressed.
