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.

A critical examination of metropolitan planning in Paris--the "Grand Paris" initiative--and the building of today's networked global city.

Nach der Eröffnung der Berliner Hoch- und Untergrundbahn 1902 war das Interesse der gut situierten westlichen Berliner Vororte an einem Schnellbahnanschluss geweckt. Selbstbewusst und mit der Unterstützung finanzkräftiger Terraingesellschaften entwickelten die Städte Charlottenburg und Wilmersdorf Pläne für die Erweiterung der Berliner U-Bahn, wobei die Beteiligten teilweise sehr eigenwillige Vorstellungen zur Streckenführung hatten. In diesem Buch schildern ausgewiesene Experten in zeitgenössischen Original-Beiträgen die Entwicklung der Schnellbahnen vom Nollendorfplatz nach Ruhleben, Krumme Lanke und zum Kurfürstendamm zwischen 1906 und 1930. Rund 150 Zeichnungen und Fotos illustrieren dieses Zeitdokument der Berliner Verkehrsgeschichte.
