Geo–Space Urban Design
Autor GS Golanyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 sep 1996
Three case studies of Japanese projects that use underground space for shopping, transportation, and infrastructure explore the entire spectrum of issues surrounding the design, construction, and ongoing operation of the facility, including form, function, and efficiency; health, safety, and comfort; legal issues; and special management and security considerations. Geo-space projects in Montreal and Paris are also examined.
Geo-Space Urban Design appeals to a broad range of professionals, all of whom have important roles to play in the creation and operation of the cities of the future. For urban designers, architects, and civil and architectural engineers, this book offers both an eye-opening vision and a challenge to create viable spaces that will revolutionize urban life; landscape architects, geographers, and environmentalists will find opportunities to redefine the relationship between society and the natural world; and psychologists, social scientists, and government officials will discover new levels of human adaptability, interaction, and cooperation.
In this revolutionary book, two leading figures explain how geo-space design and construction will enable urban planners to cope with the most difficult challenges posed by the continued expansion of metropolitan areas, including
- Land preservation--conserving precious agricultural land in the face of rapid urban expansion
- High urban land prices--making economical use of limited space in urban centers with soaring property values
- Efficient urban scale--shrinking overextended and inefficient utility networks
- Response to stressful climate--reducing energy consumption in regions subject to extremes of hot or cold weather
