Containing papers presented at the 13th International Conference on
Urban Regeneration and Sustainability, this volume includes latest
research providing solutions that lead towards sustainability. The
series maintains its strong reputation and contributions have been
made from a diverse range of 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;
Planning, development and management; The community and the city;
Infrastructure and society; Eco-town planning; Spatial conflicts in
the city; Urban transportation and planning; Conservation and
regeneration; Architectural issues; Sustainable energy and the
city; Environmental management; Flood risk; Waste management; Urban
air pollution; Health issues; Water resources; Landscape planning
and design; Intelligent environment; Planning for risk and natural
hazards; Waterfront development; Case studies.
