Presents forward-looking concepts, innovative research, and
transdisciplinary perspectives for developing strategies for future
urban habitation Around the globe, urban populations are growing at
an unpreceded rate, in particular in Asia and Africa. In view of
pressing social and environmental challenges it is essential to
reimagine current design strategies to build affordable,
sustainable, and inclusive communities that can respond to future
demographic dynamics, new social practices, and the consequences of
climate change. Future Urban Habitation presents an integrative,
transdisciplinary approach for developing long-term strategies for
urban housing at a different scales. With focus on the rapidly
growing cities of Asia, and urban processes in Europe and
North-America this volume offers perspectives from both researchers
and practitioners involved in multiple aspects of urban habitation.
The authors address a range of challenges to urban habitation with
four intersecting thematic frameworks: Inclusive Urbanism,
High-Dense Typologies for Building Community, Adaptable and
Responsive Habitation, and New Tools and Approaches. Throughout the
text, readers are presented with innovative design ideas from
different fields, new concepts for social practices and sustainable
housing policies, recent research on urban housing, and more.
Exploring both social and architectural strategies for sustainable
and livable dwelling models, Future Urban Hanitation Addresses
challenges associated with urbanization, population growth,
societal segregation, shifting demographics and the crisis of care,
and climate change Discusses advanced approaches for design
