Following on from the resounding success of the inaugural edition, Smartcities + Eco-Warriors (2010), this remarkable book emerges as the most cutting-edge and visionary response to urban resilience from one of the world's foremost urban design and architectural visionaries. An ecological symbiosis between nature, society, and the built environment, the Smartcity fosters innovative spatial practices and generates diverse forms of resilient landscapes, extending beyond urban agriculture.
The concept of the Smartcity is intricately woven through a series of international case studies, some commissioned by government organizations, others speculative and thought-provoking. This second edition boasts nine new case studies, alongside additional ecological sustainability studies encompassing sensitivity, design criteria, and assessments for ecological construction plans. The book concludes with two thought-provoking essays on the enchanting romance of trees and the empowering nature of resilient landscapes.
Smartcities, Resilient Landscapes + Eco-Warriors stands as a vital and indispensable contribution to the ongoing discourse on climate change and the immense potential to enhance the ecological functionality of existing habitats or create new landscapes that are deemed beneficial to local ecology and resilience. It serves as a must-read for practitioners and students in the fields of landscape, urban design, architecture, and environmental engineering. This work also resonates deeply with government agencies and non-governmental organizations dedicated to sustainability, as well as anyone with a genuine interest in cities, landscapes, food and water security, and energy conservation.
