Building Futures was written for all experts working on today’s and future challenges in infrastructures and urban environments. Based on a portfolio of more than 200 trans- and interdisciplinary initiatives, this book presents theoretical and practical insights for both practitioners and academics alike.
How can we design and keep our infrastructures and urban environments attractive, sustainable,
and resilient in the face of today’s challenges? What approaches and methods are effective in dealing with the complexity of interconnected issues such as climate change, housing, mobility, and liveability, to name just a few?
At the heart of the book are 16 projects, grouped into four themes: flood risk, infrastructure innovation, sustainable urban development, and ports & hubs. In all of these projects, the TU Delft Deltas, Infrastructures & Mobility Initiative (DIMI) worked in integrated, multidisciplinary teams with societal partners.
