The boundaries between strategy, urban planning, architecture, and sociology are increasingly blurred as 'futurising discourses about progress, renewal, and the crises of urbanisation' gain prominence. Urban Planning for the City of the Future: A Multidisciplinary Approach offers a distinctive perspective on planning, growth, regeneration, and demographic urgency in the context of globalisation, climate change, and rapid technological change. Through a comprehensive and multifaceted lens, this edited collection explores how the city of the future might be shaped. Contributors delve into the question of how to plan the ideal city of the future while also prioritising citizens' rights, participation, and engagement. Chapters provide solutions that place these rights at the centre of city life, addressing some of the contemporary challenges faced by cities. They explore options for preserving, incorporating, and expanding 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 presents a compelling, comprehensive, and multifaceted case study of a small, modern European city. This city serves as a laboratory for future urban planning endeavors elsewhere.
In conclusion, the book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics of urban planning, highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach to address the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century city. By exploring the case study of Waterford and engaging with a wide range of perspectives, it provides a blueprint for creating sustainable, inclusive, and resilient cities that can thrive in the face of rapidly changing global conditions.
