The promises and realities of digital innovation have come to
suffuse everything from city regions to astronomy, government to
finance, art to medicine, politics to warfare, and from genetics to
reality itself. Digital systems augmenting physical space,
buildings, and communities occupy a special place in the
evolutionary discourse about advanced technology. The two
Intelligent Environments books edited by Peter Droege span a
quarter of a century across this genre. The second volume,
Intelligent Environments: Advanced Systems for a Healthy Planet,
asks: how does civilization approach thinking systems, intelligent
spatial models, design methods, and support structures designed for
sustainability, in ways that could counteract challenges to
terrestrial habitability? This book examines a range of baseline
and benchmark practices but also unusual and even sublime endeavors
across regions, currencies, infrastructure, architecture,
transactive electricity, geodesign, net-positive planning, remote
work, integrated transport, and artificial intelligence in
understanding the most immediate spatial setting: the human body.
The result of this quest is both highly informative and useful, but
also critical. It opens windows on what must fast become a central
and overarching existential focus in the face of anthropogenic
planetary heating and other threats-and raises concomitant
questions about direction, scope, and speed of that change.
