"Water City offers practical solutions to some of the environmental challenges facing 21st century cities as a result of climate change. The dense compact nature of the contemporary city makes it difficult to generate urban resilience to the effects of climate change, particularly coastal and pluvial flooding. This book describes a design-led remediation methodology that draws on catchment planning and GIS mapping and analysis to redefine the city as a series of hydrological and ecological systems. Six case studies test the presented methodology, two greenfield and four brownfield sites based in the UK, USA, New Zealand, and China. Each case study is illustrated with GIS maps and perspectives. Specific solutions to the environment problems that will be intensified by climate change are presented. Water City describes adaptation strategies to help practitioners in the urban landscape tackle these issues and make our cities better places to live. This practical guide is a key read for professionals and stakeholders in landscape architecture, urban design, planning, and all those interested in how climate change will affect the future of our cities"--

In Curbing Traffic: The Human Case for Fewer Cars in Our Lives, Melissa and Chris Bruntlett chronicle their experience living in the Netherlands and the benefits that result from treating cars as visitors rather than owners of the road. They weave their personal story with research and interviews with experts and Delft locals to help readers share the experience of living in a city designed for people.

Dieser dritte und letzte Band der Buchreihe Indicia stellt die Ergebnisse des Forschungsprogramms Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) in Form von «Aktionen» für eine nachhaltige Stadtgestaltung vor. Die Forschungsergebnisse werden als allgemeine Prinzipien, Empfehlungen, praktische Richtlinien und Faustregeln präsentiert. Bei diesen «Aktionen» handelt es sich weder um technische Standards noch um vorgeschriebene Checklisten, sondern um die Aufforderung, Forschungsergebnisse in dem Kontext zu erforschen, zu testen und zu verfeinern, in dem der Leser oder die Leserin lebt, arbeitet und handelt. Die Glaubwürdigkeit, Hervorhebung und Legitimität jeder Aktion werden durch wissenschaftliche Publikationen (Zeitschriftenartikel, Bücher und Ausstellungen) untermauert, die in ausführlichen Fussnoten und Literaturempfehlungen präsentiert werden. Indicia 03 ergänzt den ersten und zweiten Band der Reihe, die die Forschungsherausforderungen und -ansätze dokumentierten, die diesen Ergebnissen vorausgingen. Bringt man die drei Bände zusammen, zeigen sich der ganzen Bogen und viele produktive Turbulenzen des Fünfjahresprogramms von FCL und seiner Mission zur Gestaltung nachhaltiger zukünftiger Städte. Das FCL wurde von der ETH-Zürich und der Nationalen Forschungsstiftung Singapur gegründet und arbeitet unter der Schirmherrschaft des Singapore-ETH Centre. This third and final volume in the Indicia book series presents the results of the Future Cities Laboratory research program in the form of actions for sustainable city-making. It complements the first and second volumes of the series that respectively documented the research challenges and approaches that prefigured these results. Read together, the three volumes chart the full arc and many productive eddies of the five-year program and its mission to shape sustainable future cities. Research results are presented as condensed actions that take the form of general principles, recommendations and practical guidelines. The actions are neither technical standards nor prescriptive checklists but invitations to explore, test and refine research insights within the context in which the reader lives, works and acts. The credibility, salience and legitimacy of each action is underpinned by scientific publications (journal articles, books and exhibitions) presented in extensive footnotes and suggestions for further reading.

"This book tells the story of visionary urban experiments, and delves first into the eco-city, second the smart city and third the autonomous city, where existing smart technologies are evolving into artificial intelligences which are taking the management of the city out of the hands of humans. It is both an examination of the evolution of urban experimentation through the lens of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and a warning. Academics, students and practitioners will find in this book the knowledge that is necessary to comprehend and engage with the many urban experiments that are now alive, ready to leave the laboratory and enter our cities"--

Les villes ont contribué pendant des siècles à la promotion de certaines des plus grandes idées de l'humanité, nous devons maintenant les inclure de toute urgence parmi les principaux acteurs du débat environnemental et à l'avant-garde de toute politique de lutte contre le changement climatique. Néanmoins, aujourd'hui encore, l'une des technologies les plus importantes capables d'absorber le CO2 et de restaurer notre environnement est la photosynthèse. La plantation d'arbres, en plus de protéger les espaces naturels existants et la biodiversité, ainsi que la décarbonation, les énergies renouvelables, la numérisation, la mobilité intelligente et l'économie circulaire pourraient constituer l'ensemble des stratégies nécessaires pour lutter contre le changement climatique. Aujourd'hui, les effets de l'âge anthropocène sont de plus en plus visibles, modifiant notre environnement et affectant toutes les espèces qui y vivent. Green Obsession propose une voie à suivre, un changement de paradigme difficile mais toujours nécessaire - même pour l'architecture et l'urbanisme - qui vise à donner une voix à cette transition écologique si nécessaire. Ce livre vise à dévoiler les processus et la complexité impliqués dans la recherche d'un nouveau type d'urbanisme, tout en soulevant des questions et en ouvrant de vieilles blessures liées à la relation entre l'espèce humaine et la Nature et enfin en rassemblant ces fragments pour créer un portrait de notre ère. Nous devons concevoir les villes comme de nouveaux catalyseurs verts. Aujourd'hui plus que jamais, il est essentiel d'agir ensemble en tant qu'individus et professionnels distincts, rejoignant la cause en tant que membres de la communauté mondiale avec une stratégie environnementale partagée. Nous devons tous ouvrir l'ère d'une nouvelle alliance entre Nature et Ville. Cities have contributed for centuries to the promotion of some of humanity's greatest ideas, we must now urgently include them as among the principal players in the environmental debate and at the forefront of any policy tackling and countering - possibly reversing - climate change. Nevertheless, even today one of the most significant technologies capable of absorbing CO2 and restoring our environment is photosynthesis. Planting trees, in addition to protecting existing natural areas and biodiversity, together with de-carbonization, renewable energies, digitalization, smart mobility and the circular economy could be the set of strategies necessary to tackle climate change. Today the effects of the Anthropocene age are ever more visible, changing our environment and affecting every species that lives within it. Green Obsession offers a path to be taken, a hard but still necessary paradigm shift - even for architecture and urbanism - that aims to give a voice to this much needed ecological transition. This book aims to unveil the processes and the complexity involved in the search for a new kind of urbanism, while raising questions and opening old wounds related to the relationship between the human species and Nature and finally putting these fragments together to create a portrait of our era. We need to conceive cities as new green catalysts. Now more than ever, it is essential to act together as separate individuals and professionals, joining the cause as members of the global community with a shared environmental strategy. We all have to open the era of a new alliance between Nature and City.
