The Morality of Urban Mobility - Technology and Philosophy of the City (Hardcover): Shane Epting The Morality of Urban Mobility - Technology and Philosophy of the City (Hardcover)
Shane Epting; Foreword by Lewis R Gordon
R2,529 Discovery Miles 25 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Cities' transportation systems affect people, ecosystems, and future generations, and they increase tensions between historical preservation, social justice concerns, and future needs. In turn, all of these factors deserve consideration, but not equally. A just and moral way forward must prioritize values in how we give preference in planning decisions. Shane Epting illustrates that the problem of "moral prioritization" rests at the heart of these problems. To overcome such challenges, he develops a multi-tiered assessment system that shows how to evaluate complicated affairs in urban mobility. This book brings philosophical underpinnings of public works into full view, showing how the love of wisdom benefits the ongoing and future transportation issues of our increasingly urbanized world.

Saving Cities - A Taxonomy of Urban Technologies (Paperback, 1st ed. 2021): Shane Epting Saving Cities - A Taxonomy of Urban Technologies (Paperback, 1st ed. 2021)
Shane Epting
R1,704 Discovery Miles 17 040 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book makes the case that several urban technologies contribute to wicked problems such as climate change and vast social and economic inequalities. Such situations often create unfavorable conditions for mental life in cities. These conditions force us to expand the taxonomy of technology to include new designations: "wicked" and "saving" technologies. Epting holds that the latter can support worthwhile goals such as socially just urban sustainability. Along with fleshing out this view, he provides concrete examples of saving technologies, which include cohousing initiatives, ariel cable cars, participatory budgeting, and car-free zones/cities.
