The answers to the questions of why and how people live where they
live as well as how they maintain and integrate with one another
are fundamental human settlement issues rooted in history and
culture. Human settlements are historically linked to resource
availability, fortification, and the mythos of civilizations.
Cities play a central role in redefining the interface between
human beings and nature. They have revolutionized the human
experience by taming natural surroundings and building environments
that are human-centric-often narrowing human life outside the
experience of wilderness or the untamed. This book is divided into
three parts, it examines urban development trends, explores
perspectives in energy efficiency and agriculture security, and
considers policy development and future scenarios in human-nature
relations. It is a compendium of multidisciplinary work that
challenges the directions of modernity and offers reference to
alternatives. Authors come from a diverse background and
international context to address common overarching theories facing
current geography-specific problems. An interconnected overtone of
the book attempts to link accelerated urbanization and settlement
location to how societies are maintained and integrated. Human
settlements are shaped by human ecology and the relationship
between humans and their interaction with their environment. Two
sectors central to human survival are specifically explored: energy
and agriculture. Cutting-edge, smart development looks at the
latest findings that reflect the on-going debate facing these
sectors. A human settlement metric is envisioned in terms of the
past, present, and future. This book is a unique attempt to combine
a rethinking about human settlements for scientists, policy-makers,
public officials, and people committed to improving urban life,
society-wide. Possible agents to resolving human settlement
problems include international cooperation and various mechanisms
that interlace the international community. Methodological and
applied aspects of sustainable management focus on topics such as
adaptive knowledge sharing, renewable energy, climate change,
agricultural planning, and policy development. An emphasis on
scientific and technological advancement, from a bottom-up mapping
of society, elucidates a better understanding of the role of
knowledgeable societies in which need is considered alongside how
such need can be sustained-advancing towards a more promising
future.
