Maximizing reader insights into the strategic value of mass retrofits in the residential property sector through a detailed case study analysis of the ¿Hackbridge project¿, this book uses this development to broaden understanding of how planners may perform urban regeneration in accordance with a centralized plan.This book demonstrates how urban morphology matters, not only with respect to either the geometry of  design and construction systems, or occupational behaviours, but with regards to the potential with which the planning, (re)development, design, construction, use and occupation of buildings, has to not only lower levels of energy consumption and rates of carbon emission, but also to reduce global warming associated with climate change.Delivering a critique of the state-of-the-art on urban morphology, the geometry of design typologies, construction systems and occupational behaviours and armed with the critical insights this offers, this book offers a context-specific analysis of how institutions can begin to actively plan for, integrate and sustain the development of energy efficient-low carbon zones.

Ensuring that their work has a positive influence on society is a responsibility and a privilege for engineers, but also a considerable challenge. This book addresses the ways in which engineers meet this challenge, working from the assumption that for a project to be truly ethical both the undertaking itself and its implementation must be ethically sound. The contributors discuss varied topics from an international and interdisciplinary perspective, includingl  robot ethics;l  outer space;l  international development;l  internet privacy and security;l  green branding;l  arms conversion;l  green employment; andl  deliberate misinformation about climate change Important questions are answered, such asl  what is meant by engineering ethics and its practical implications;l  how decisions made by engineers in their working lives make an impact at the global as well as the local level; andl  what ethics-related questions should be asked before making such decisions. Ethical Engineering for International Development and Environmental Sustainability will be a valuable resource for practising and student engineers as well as all who are interested in professional ethics, especially as it relates to engineering. Researchers and policy makers concerned with the effects of engineering decisions on environmental sustainability and international stability will find this book to be of special interest.

1.1 Introduction This book introduces and guides the you through the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the Unified Process (both originally devised by Grady Booch,James Rumbaugh and Ivar Jacobson) and their application to Java systems.This means that the book will present you, thereader,withthenotationusedintheUMLandthestepsdescribedbytheUnifiedProcesswith particular reference to the Java environment (including the classes and the syntax). The book itself is structured in three parts. Part 1 introduces object-oriented analysis and design and the Unified Process. The UML is introduced, as necessary, to support the Unified Process steps.Part 2 discusses the topic of design patterns,while Part 3 looks at the UnifiedProcessandUMLintherealworld. The first part of the book is structured in the following manner: Chapter 2: Object -Oriented Analysis and Design This chapter surveys the most significant object-oriented design and analysis methods to emerge since the late 1980s. Chapter 3: An Introduction to the UML and the Unified Process This chapter provides the background to the UML and the Unified Process. It also presents a summary of both. Chapter 4: Software Architecture and Object-Oriented Design This chapter explains and justifies why an architecture is essential to the successful design and implementation of a large object-oriented system.
