Many factors such as topography, agricultural land, natural drainage, presence or absence of erodible land are duly considered while planning an area. This book provides significant information to help develop a good understanding of civil engineering and urban planning. This book explores modern approaches and methodologies relevant in the present day scenario. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.

Download or read book Urban Engineering for Sustainability written by Sybil Derrible and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A textbook that introduces integrated, sustainable design of urban infrastructures, drawing on civil engineering, environmental engineering, urban planning, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. This textbook introduces urban infrastructure from an engineering perspective, with an emphasis on sustainability. Bringing together both fundamental principles and practical knowledge from civil engineering, environmental engineering, urban planning, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science, the book transcends disciplinary boundaries by viewing urban infrastructures as integrated networks. The text devotes a chapter to each of five engineering systems—electricity, water, transportation, buildings, and solid waste—covering such topics as fundamentals, demand, management, technology, and analytical models. Other chapters present a formal definition of sustainability; discuss population forecasting techniques; offer a history of urban planning, from the Neolithic era to Kevin Lynch and Jane Jacobs; define and discuss urban metabolism and infrastructure integration, reviewing system interdependencies; and describe approaches to urban design that draw on complexity theory, algorithmic models, and machine learning. Throughout, a hypothetical city state, Civitas, is used to explain and illustrate the concepts covered. Each chapter includes working examples and problem sets. An appendix offers tables, diagrams, and conversion factors. The book can be used in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in civil engineering and as a reference for practitioners. It can also be helpful in preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exams.

This book introduces expert systems for problem solving in urban planning and describes the way in which heuristic knowledge and rules of thumb of expert planners can be represented through computer programs. The book presents practical applications of expert systems for solving many important urban planning problems, particularly those issues that many practicing planners face in their daily operations. Problems and issues discussed are grouped in the following categories: - Land Use Planning - Transportation Planning - Site Selection and Analysis - Environmental Planning - Conflict Mediation and Legal Disputes - Future Developments and Directions Expert Systems: Applications to Urban Planning will benefit both urban planners who wish to learn how this new technology might be applied to their daily work as well as researchers in expert systems seeking new ideas for systems design.
Download or read book Urban Planning written by Miguel Pires Amado and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research has demonstrated how gentrification and urban redevelopment can serve to promote and exacerbate socio-spatial stigmatisation directed at marginalised, socially vulnerably urban populations, a problem that is rendered particularly acute in the case of what has been termed the contested space of addiction treatment. This book discusses how methadone maintenance treatments and the gentrification battleground affect place promotion, spatial purification and the spectre of addiction and treatments. It also discusses urban planning for cougar presence in North America; urban planning and landscapes; the practices, challenges and benefits urban planning has for immigrants; the post-Olympic games' spatial socio-economic vulnerability; urban low-income housing developments in Ghana; noise in an urban setting; public participation in urban planning; urban sustainability assessment systems; and changing patterns of internal migration in Venezuela.

Download or read book City and Transportation Planning written by Akinori Morimoto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many urban and transportation problems, such as traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and environmental burdens, result from poor integration of land use and transportation. This graduate-level textbook outlines strategies for sustainably integrating land use and transportation planning, addressing the impact on land use of advanced transport like light rail transit and autonomous cars, and the emerging focus on cyber space and the role of ICT and big data in city planning. The text also explores how we can create sustainable cities for the future. In contrast to the "compact city", which has been proposed as an environmentally friendly urban model, recent years have seen an acceleration in the introduction of ICT-based "smart city". As people’s lives are drastically changed by COVID-19, a new form of city is being explored. The new concept of a "smart sharing city" is introduced as an urban model that wisely integrates physical and cyber space, and presents a way to solve future urban issues with new technologies.
