This volume brings together many of the most important new voices in the fields impacting modern urban infrastructure to explore this revolutionary change in the city. Increasingly, it is connective systems rather than built forms that bind a city together. Intelligent infrastructure confers upon a city previously unimagined levels of adaptability, with mobile telephony serving to organize people and events on the move and in real time. Beginning with a consideration of invisible networks--the sociohistorical systems that contribute to and constitute urbanity--the essays collected here examine a variety of actual tools, from handheld devices to autonomous vehicles, within a fully networked built environment: the smart city. This book argues that knowledge of both the visible and invisible components--information, energy, sustainability, transportation, housing, and social practices--are critical to understanding the urban environment. The dynamic and diverse cast of contributors includes Mitchell Schwarzer, Frederic Stout, Anthony Townsend, Carlo Ratti of the MIT SENSEable City Lab, Mitchell Joachim of Terreform ONE, and many other innovators who are changing the urban landscape."--Publisher's description.Intelligent transportation systemsTransportationTechnological innovationsUrban transportationInfrastructure (Economics)Infrastructure (Economics)fast(OCoLC)fst00973275Intelligent transportation systemsfast(OCoLC)fst01723430TransportationTechnological innovationsfast(OCoLC)fst01155227Urban transportationfast(OCoLC)fst01162609Intelligent transportation systems.TransportationTechnological innovations.Urban transportation.Infrastructure (Economics)Infrastructure (Economics)Intelligent transportation systems.TransportationTechnological innovations.Urban transportation.388.4Tierney ThereseMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155529003321Intelligent infrastructure2892374UNINA
