The lines between the fields of strategy, urban planning,
architecture and sociology are currently blurred by
‘futurising’ discourses about progress, renewal and the crises
of urbanisation. Aided by an ambitious multifaceted lens, Urban
Planning for the City of the Future: A Multidisciplinary Approach
provides a unique glimpse into planning, growth, regeneration and
demographic urgency in the light of globalisation, climate change
and rapid technological change. Presenting a case study of the city
of Waterford, this edited collection explores how the city of the
future might be shaped. Contributors ask not only how to plan the
ideal city of the future, but also how to prioritise citizens’
rights, participation and engagement in that city. Offering
solutions that put these rights at the heart of city life, chapters
also tackle some of the modern city’s crises, exploring options
for the preservation, incorporation and expansion of the city’s
heritage, landmark buildings and unique geographical history.
Bringing together multidisciplinary perspectives from strategy,
urban geography, psychology, sociology, film, data and digital
studies, Urban Planning for the City of the Future: A
Multidisciplinary Approach builds a compelling, comprehensive,
multifaceted case-study of a small, modern European city that can
serve as a laboratory for future urban planning elsewhere.
