Draws on 18 months of the author's fieldwork. Demonstrates how
service users can work creatively with the clinical circuitries,
biomedical imaginaries and temporal underpinnings of clozapine
treatment to personalise their experiences and to exert subtle
personal power over their health and future prospects. The first
ethnography to examine clozapine treatment in the UK and Australia.
This book explores the link between the Food-Water-Energy nexus and
sustainability, and the extraordinary value that small tweaks to
this nexus can achieve for more resilient cities and communities.
Using data from Urban Living Labs in six participating cities
(Eindhoven, Gdansk, Miami, Southend-on-Sea, Taipei, and Uppsala) to
co-define context-specific challenges, the results from each city
are collated into an Integrated Decision Support System to guide
and improve robust decision-making on future urban development. The
book presents contributions from CRUNCH, a transdisciplinary team
of scholars and practitioners whose expertise spans urban climate
modelling; food, water, and energy management; the design of
resilient public space; collecting better urban data; and the
development of smart city technology. Whilst previous works on the
Food-Water-Energy nexus have focused on large, transnational cases,
this book explores local ways to use the Food-Water-Energy nexus to
improve urban resilience. It suggests tangible ways in which the
cities and communities around us can become both more efficient and
more climate resilient through small changes to their existing
infrastructure. Over half of the world's population lives in urban
areas, and this is expected to increase to 68% by 2050. We urgently
need to make our cities more resilient. This book provides a
planning tool for decision-making and concludes with policy
recommendations, making it relevant to a range of audiences
including urbanists, environmentalists, architects, urban
designers, and city planners, as well as students and scholars
interested in alternative approaches to sustainability and
resilience.
