Networks, Markets & People

This book aims to address the issue of the effects that the contemporary environmental, technological, social and economic global challenges produce on settlement systems, communities, institutions and enterprises.

It presents a multi-disciplinary scientific debate on the new frontiers of strategic and spatial planning, decision support tools and ecological design, within the urban-rural areas networks and the metropolitan cities of the Mediterranean basin.

The book focuses on five topics: Cultural Heritage as driver of development for territories and tourism destinations; Ecosystems, people-nature cohesion and urban-rural relationships; Decision Support Systems for urban regeneration; Policies and practices of cohesion and social innovation for inclusive cities; Green buildings and sustainable solutions for ecological transition. In addition, the book hosts the papers of a special session intercluster promoted by Italian Society of Architectural Technology (SITdA).

The book benefits all researchers, practitioners and policymakers interested in the issue applied to metropolitan cities and marginal areas.

Provides an in-depth understanding of the technological regime knowledge domain over the urban/rural implications Shows theoretical and practical comprehension of resilience and transition and their metrics by data analytics tools Presents the outcomes of the symposium Networks, Markets & People"
