"Sustainable urban environments : an ecosystem approach presents fundamental knowledge of the built environment. Approaching the topic from an ecosystems perspective, it shows the reader how to combine diverse practical elements into sustainable solutions for future buildings and cities. From urban ecology to material, water and energy use, from urban transport to livability and health. The authors introduce and explore a variety of governance tools that support the transformation process, and show how they can help overcome institutional barriers. The book concludes with an account of promising perspectives for achieving a sustainable built environment in industrialized countries. Offering a unique overview and understanding of the most pressing challenges in the built environment, Sustainable urban environments helps the reader grasp opportunities for integration of knowledge and technologies in the design, construction and management of the built environment.

"Parkour adalah sebuah metode untuk mencapai dari titik A ke titik B seefisien mungkin. Dengan menggunakan elemen-elemen ruang kota, parkour merupakan salah satu kegiatan yang membebaskan pelakunya dari kehidupan sehari-hari. Kegiatan ini bekerja dengan cara mengubah arti sebuah objek spasial untuk digunakan sesuai dengan yang diinginkan oleh pelakunya. Kemampuan parkour untuk menginterpretasikan sebuah ruang kota dipengaruhi oleh sikap playful dari pelakunya. Ruang kota dan elemen-elemennya secara alami mendukung kegiatan subversif seperti parkour dengan ambiguitas dan ketidakpastian yang ada di dalam sebuah kota. Secara tidak langsung perilaku parkour dapat menjadi sebuah perilaku yang transformatif terhadap ruang kota dan dapat menjadi sebuah kritik dari ruang kota.

Parkour is essentially a way to move from point A to point B in the most efficient way possible. By using elements available in an urban space, parkour is an activity that frees the doer from their daily life. Parkour happens by changing the meaning of a spatial object into something that is used towards the goal of the doer. Parkour rsquo s ability to interpret a city space is affected by the doer rsquo s playful attitude. City space and its elements naturally supports this subversive activity such as parkour with its ambiguity and randomness that is always present in a city. Parkour rsquo s behavior could indirectly transform a city space and could also acts as a critic of a city space."

"The urban environment - buildings, cities and infrastructure - represents one of the most important contributors to climate change, while at the same time holding the key to a more sustainable way of living. The transformation from traditional to sustainable systems requires interdisciplinary knowledge of the re-design, construction, operation and maintenance of the built environment. Sustainable Urban Environments: An Ecosystem Approach presents fundamental knowledge of the built environment. Approaching the topic from an ecosystems perspective, it shows the reader how to combine diverse practical elements into sustainable solutions for future buildings and cities. You'll learn to connect problems and solutions at different spatial scales, from urban ecology to material, water and energy use, from urban transport to livability and health. The authors introduce and explore a variety of governance tools that support the transformation process, and show how they can help overcome institutional barriers. The book concludes with an account of promising perspectives for achieving a sustainable built environment in industrialized countries. Offering a unique overview and understanding of the most pressing challenges in the built environment, Sustainable Urban Environments helps the reader grasp opportunities for integration of knowledge and technologies in the design, construction and management of the built environment. Students and practitioners who are eager to look beyond their own fields of interest will appreciate this book because of its depth and breadth of coverage."

"Communicates sound, up-to-date ecological principles to the urban design community to help improve the ecological function of designed and built landscapes Identifies novel environmental research directions needed to support basic urban ecology as well as sustainable and resilient urban design Articulates new criteria for assessing good ecological urban design while engaging the design imagination Contributions by leading voices in the design and ecological communities The contributors to this volume propose strategies of urgent and vital importance that aim to make today's urban environments more resilient. Resilience, the ability of complex systems to adapt to changing conditions, is a key frontier in ecological research and is especially relevant in creative urban design, as urban areas exemplify complex systems. With something approaching half of the world's population now residing in coastal urban zones, many of which are vulnerable both to floods originating inland and rising sea levels, making urban areas more robust in the face of environmental threats must be a policy ambition of the highest priority. The complexity of urban areas results from their spatial heterogeneity, their intertwined material and energy fluxes, and the integration of social and natural processes. All of these features can be altered by intentional planning and design. The complex, integrated suite of urban structures and processes together affect the adaptive resilience of urban systems, but also presupposes that planners can intervene in positive ways. As examples accumulate of linkage between sustainability and building/​landscape design, such as the Shanghai Chemical Industrial Park and Toronto's Lower Don River area, this book unites the ideas, data, and insights of ecologists and related scientists with those of urban designers. It aims to integrate a formerly atomized dialog to help both disciplines promote urban resilience."

"This text formally appraises the innovative ways new media artists engage urban ecology. Highlighting the role of artists as agents of technological change, the work reviews new modes of seeing, representing and connecting within the urban setting. The book describes how technology can be exploited in order to create artworks that transcend the technology’s original purpose, thus expanding the language of environmental engagement whilst also demonstrating a clear understanding of the societal issues and values being addressed. Features: assesses how data from smart cities may be used to create artworks that can recast residents’ understanding of urban space; examines transformations of urban space through the reimagining of urban information; discusses the engagement of urban residents with street art, including collaborative community art projects and public digital media installations; presents perspectives from a diverse range of practicing artists, architects, urban planners and critical theorists."
