Grouping a selection of papers from the 12th International
Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability, this book
refers to all aspects of urban environment and provides solutions
that lead towards sustainability. The series maintains its strong
reputation and a substantial number of contributions have been made
from a diverse range of transnational delegates, 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
and other 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.
The published papers cover the following fields: Urban Strategies;
Urban Conservation and Regeneration; Urban Transportation and
Planning; Architectural Issues; Spatial Conflicts in the City;
Intelligent Environment; Quality of Life; Cultural Heritage Sites;
The Community and the City; Environmental Management; Planning,
Development and Management; Planning for Risk and Natural Hazards;
Waste Management; Water Resources.
