Book Description

The promises and realities of digital innovation have come to suffuse everything from city regions to astronomy, government to finance, art to medicine, politics to warfare, and from genetics to reality itself. Digital systems augmenting physical space, buildings, and communities occupy a special place in the evolutionary discourse about advanced technology. The two Intelligent Environments books edited by Peter Droege span a quarter of a century across this genre. The second volume, Intelligent Environments: Advanced Systems for a Healthy Planet 2nd Edition, asks: how does civilization approach thinking systems, intelligent spatial models, design methods, and support structures designed for sustainability, in ways that could counteract challenges to terrestrial habitability?

This book examines a range of baseline and benchmark practices but also unusual and even sublime endeavors across regions, currencies, infrastructure, architecture, transactive electricity, geodesign, net-positive planning, remote work, integrated transport, and artificial intelligence in understanding the most immediate spatial setting: the human body. The result of this quest is both highly informative and useful, but also critical. It opens windows on what must fast become a central and overarching existential focus in the face of anthropogenic planetary heating and other threats―and raises concomitant questions about direction, scope, and speed of that change.

The volume uses a cross-disciplinary approach to exploring digitally enhanced, spatially relevant sustainability systems
It critically queries the promise of information technologies and related support systems to help safeguard the habitability of the planet
The new edition is fully updated and reorganized in thematically linked yet stand-alone chapters and is referenced to global bodies of knowledge for ease of discovery and access
It includes copious images, maps, diagrams, and references to other media to enhance understanding

Editorial Reviews

Review

A cross-disciplinary compendium of intelligent approaches to the sustainable engineering, design, planning, modeling, and reflective practice in regions, cities, buildings, energy, transport, work, governance, and finance

From the Back Cover

Intelligent Environments―Advanced Systems for a Healthy Planet is authored by 50 leading experts and dedicated to those working to shore up terrestrial habitability through intelligent environments. Editor and coauthor Professor Peter Droege has published, worked, and taught on five continents over four decades.
