Download or read book A Quantum City written by Ludger Hovestadt and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 824 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know the specific strengths of various cities, are aware of their ranking, are able to discuss their density and growth. But what do all cities have in common, what do we know about the “lowest common denominator”? The “city as a species”, the “primal genetic material of the city”: this is the subject of A Quantum City. This colossal work is a love letter to the city and intellectual culture. We follow the fictional narrative figure, Orlando, beginning in 320 BC, on his odyssey through the Western world up to the present time. The book is divided into four interrelated chapters and can be read page by page in a discursive manner, however randomly browsing through the book also offers new and multi-faceted interpretations. Great intellectual achievements are compared with obscure and mundane events. A Quantum City offers an inspiring view of the city that is in us and around us.

This book was released on 2024-05-18 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book looks forward to the future of technological application in urban planning, construction, and property administration. The book not only discusses technology adoption tactics but also gives insights for researchers and industry executives to better comprehend market dynamics. It is an excellent resource for people interested in researching technological advances and their possible influence on future market dynamics. Although it seems like cities beyond the 2030s will merely be full of skyscrapers, this book offers a profound narrative that transcends the current applications of digital or material technology, envisioning a future wherein advanced mechanisms such as quantum rules, the metaverse, and sensing technologies redefine our urban existence. The author, who has been named research leader of the year and has over three decades of innovation experience, takes you on a captivating journey beyond the cityscapes of today. Based on his award-winning scientific publications and years of innovative practice or study, this book provides an insightful analysis of the impact of future technologies on our future professional lives. Drawing inspiration from historical cities and the ever-present quest for Utopia, the author proposes a new concept as our societal and technological paradigms shift: Qutopia—a term poised for further exploration. The future multiverses, which include interconnected virtual cities, are dynamic, ever-evolving entities allowing people to travel to the past and future or in parallel worlds. The harmonious interplay between cutting-edge technology and the human spirit will define Future cities. This thought-provoking tour begins with an overview of the digital technology market's future and its potential seismic impact on our daily practices. From the application of smart contact lenses to the evolution of job roles and the organic process of job redundancy, this book paints a vivid picture of a radically transformed urban life. Then, it explores how these innovations will shape future cities, leverage sustainability, and tackle climate change. This book opens a dialogue with the future, inviting readers to ponder the evolution of cities, the transformation of our practices, and the skills required for future jobs. Join us on this journey to uncover how the fusion of technology and urban development is crafting new narratives for the cities of tomorrow.

Download or read book Science and the City written by Laurie Winkless and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-11 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities are a big deal. More people now live in them than don't, and with a growing world population, the urban jungle is only going to get busier in the coming decades. But how often do we stop to think about what makes our cities work? Cities are built using some of the most creative and revolutionary science and engineering ideas – from steel structures that scrape the sky to glass cables that help us communicate at the speed of light – but most of us are too busy to notice. Science and the City is your guidebook to that hidden world, helping you to uncover some of the remarkable technologies that keep the world's great metropolises moving. Laurie Winkless takes us around cities in six continents to find out how they're dealing with the challenges of feeding, housing, powering and connecting more people than ever before. In this book, you'll meet urban pioneers from history, along with today's experts in everything from roads to time, and you will uncover the vital role science has played in shaping the city around you. But more than that, by exploring cutting-edge research from labs across the world, you'll build your own vision of the megacity of tomorrow, based on science fact rather than science fiction. Science and the City is the perfect read for anyone curious about the world they live in.
Download or read book Learning from the Japanese City written by Barrie Shelton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese cities are amongst the most intriguing and confounding anywhere. Their structures, patterns of building and broader visual characteristics defy conventional urban design theories, and the book explores why this is so. Like its cities, Japan’s written language is recognized as one of the most complicated, and the book is unique in revealing how the two are closely related. Set perceptively against a sweep of ideas drawn from history, geography, science, cultural and design theory, Learning from the Japanese City is a highly original exploration of contemporary urbanism that crosses disciplines, scales, time and space. This is a thoroughly revised and much extended version of a book that drew extensive praise in its first edition. Most parts have stood the test of time and remain. A few are replaced or removed; about a hundred figures appear for the first time. Most important is an entirely new (sixth) section. This brings together many of the urban characteristics, otherwise encountered in fragments through the book, in one walkable district of what is arguably Japan’s most convenient metropolis, Nagoya. The interplay between culture, built form and cities remains at the heart of this highly readable book, while a change in subtitle to Looking East in Urban Design reflects increased emphasis on real places and design implications.
