This book includes peer-reviewed articles from the 8th International Conference on Sustainable Urban Development (ICSUD 2022), held at the Vietnamese-German University (VGU) in Vietnam. The theme of the conference is ¿innovative and inclusive growth models for sustainable urban development¿. Articles in this book present major issues that cities and regions around the world are facing these days to adapt to new, unexpected, and profound challenges.Over past few years, the world has been observing meaningful reactions to crises. From the pandemic to war, energy, and food shortages, there are always opportunities for innovations. Some firms still thrived in the city lock-down; some groups stayed healthier with less income; and certain municipalities consumed less resources to attain higher outcomes. However, the rise of digital economy, the importance of proximity or near-shore supply chain, or the new contribution of different communities at different levels are generalized asnew growth models for changes.

This volume of Incomplete Works gathers together a number of speculative design projects made by Doctor Watson Architects in the early years of the 21st century. Most, if not all, of the projects began as a response to a specific architectural competition brief, however, DWA never were interested in winning a competition. Over the years DWA have been asking themselves about the status of these projects, what kind of a thing are they? The projects are represented through the conventional conceptual tools and media that all architects use when they are developing a design: physical and digital models, diagrams, sketches, scale projections and perspective views. And yet, because DWA were not fully aligned with the competition programme, so there is something a little quirky and strange about the projects.

In the tradition of Elizabeth Kolbert and Jonathan Doerr, The Nature of Our Cities is a stirring exploration of how scientists from around the world are harnessing local ecology and innovative technology to protect the planet's cities from the effects of climate change.When it comes to nature, most people romanticize bucolic mountain scenery and verdant pine forests, but anyone who's ever lived in a city can tell you that nature has just as vital a role to play in urban landscapes. And with climate change altering life and mental health everywhere, nature can do more to aid and protect our cities, offering the potential to solve problems as diverse as flood preparation and wildfire management. As ecological engineer Dr. Nadina Galle argues, nature is our most critical infrastructure for tackling the climate crisis. It just needs a little help.A fellow at MIT's Senseble City Lab and selected for Forbes' 30 under 30 list, Galle has been at the forefront of the growing movement to use nature and technology together to prepare urban life for the climate challenges upon us. Now, in The Nature of Our Cities, she embarks on a journey as fascinating as it is pressing, showing how scientists and engineers from around the world are harnessing the power of technology and the natural world to save their cities, a phenomenon she calls the "Internet of Nature." Traveling the globe, Galle examines how urban nature, long an afterthought for many, actually points the way toward a livable future for cities. She reveals how technology can help nature navigate this precarious moment with advances such as: firefighting robots inspired by ancient forest wisdom, sensors that achieve 99% tree survival in increasingly dry, hot summers, and innovative smart ponds that collect and manage water surges from extreme weather.Optimistic in spirit yet pragmatic in approach, Galle writes persuasively that the future of urban life depends on balancing the natural world with the technology that can help sustain it. By turns clear-eyed and lyrical, The Nature of Our Cities marks the emergence of an invigorating, prescient new talent in nature writing.

The book examines the typological and technological constitution of the principal advanced façade systems in the contemporary design and experimental scenario, proposing itself as a knowledge and operational tool currently lacking in the technical literature of the sector at an international level. It considers the field of advanced façade systems in a scientific way, constituting a support for the study and the executive design. The book investigates in detail, in an analytical form, the constitution of the components on a typological and geometrical, functional and constructive level, on the basis of the documents and knowledges acquired from the essential contemporary production and construction references. At the same time, the book is configured in a handbook form as a reference for understanding and application with respect to traditional and complex façade systems. For each main type of façade, the book provides explanations and scientific information for investigating and designing the advanced façades according to the characteristics of the mullions and transoms façade system (stick system), of the structural sealant glazing façade system, of the unit façade system, of the suspended façade system and of the double-skin façade system.

This volume collects the results from the Politecnico di Milan's award-winning "e;Boa_Ma_Nha, Maputo!"e; research-by-design project, which studied various transdisciplinary approaches to development in the context of the Global South. The challenges of urbanization are well known, but that only goes so far in aiding implementation. From local considerations like water access and housing rights to global issues like climate change, territorial development demands solutions that address the needs of the specific population while keeping such goals as sustainability and inclusion in mind. By focusing on a number of towns within the Maputo Province of Mozambique, and thus addressing many of the issues endemic to Sub-Saharan Africa, the research, structurally presented so as to aid those who may require introduction to the issue, makes a clear case in favor of always keeping the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) Nexus in mind when formulating development strategies for improving people's lives, as well as the wisdom of marrying academic findings with the insights accrued by local NGOs and institutions, thereby expanding the potential idea bank beyond the Eurocentric status quo that has tended to dominate the field.

The book reviews and reports the recent progress and knowledge on the specific impact of current and projected urban overheating as well as of the urban mitigation technologies on mortality and morbidity and urban vulnerability. It presents recent data and developments on the topic reported by some of the more distinguished researchers in this area. In parallel, it discusses new findings related to the characteristics and the magnitude of urban overheating and reports and analyzes the recent knowledge on the synergies between urban heat island and heatwaves. This book helps to advance our understanding on the interaction between Urban Heat Island (UHI) and overheating as well as their impact on energy demand and public health globally. Exploring the interaction between UHI and energy consumption requires the understanding on the dynamics of UHI intensity and air pollution index in different land use and how such interactions may vary in different cities in the world.  Moreover, this book focuses on different cities in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Asia, Spain, UK, and USA.

Med bogen Natural Artefacts udfordrer Marion Waller den rigide opdeling af natur og kultur som findes inden for politik, teologi, arkitektur, kunst og lov. Grænserne mellem det menneskelige og det ikke-menneskelige er blevet hårdt bevogtet og defineret, og som konsekvens har vi i den vestlige kultur længe betragtet os selv som adskilte fra den sammenhæng, vi stammer fra. Men hvad nu hvis - som dette banebrydende værk foreslår – at naturen er lige så meget en håndværker som vi er, en kraft, der former verden efter sine behov og skaber af sine egne former for artefakter? Og hvad nu hvis vi og naturen allerede har arbejdet sammen, hånd i hånd, produktivt og positivt i årtusinder, skabt hybrid-naturartefakter, uden at anerkende eller beskrive dette samarbejde?Med begrebet natural artefacts formulerer Waller en ny, rigere og mere engageret definition af de regler, der definerer vores forhold til det ikke-menneskelige. Særligt i situationer, hvor vi bliver kaldt til at genoprette naturlige miljøer. Denne bog skitserer en tilgang til sådanne regler, og giver os intellektuelle værktøjer der kan bane vejen for vores kollektive overlevelse og trivsel på jorden.

The Clearing er et essayistisk værk, skrevet af arkitekten Andrew Todd, hvor han udforsker menneskets kulturhistoriske forbindelse til træerne. Træerne er vores stille, langsomme ledsagere, udgangspunktet for mange af vores materialer og afsender af den ilt, der holder os i live. I bogen fremhæver Todd historier om forvredne oprindelsesmyter, etnisk folkemord, uvidenhed om den naturlige verden og klimakrisens rædsel. En sorg mange af os føler - både personlig og kollektiv. Disse fortællinger står samtidig i kontrast til bogens inspirerende eksempler på slægtskab med vores træbaserede søstre og brødre. I bogen møder vi en ældre bonsai, der fortsætter menneskelige slægtsbånd ud over graven; vidunderlige trækonstruktioner i de østrigske skove, der formgiver et blidt, respektfuldt forhold til skoven; en fortælling om animisme i nutidens Japan; og et møde med en utænkelig, kongelig skov-vogter. Hvis vi skal overleve som art, bliver vi nødt til at genoprette vores forhold til de trægiganter, der byder os velkommen her. Denne bog viser, hvordan dette kan være en glædelig bestræbelse.
