商品描述
A textbook that introduces integrated, sustainable design of urban infrastructures, drawing on civil engineering, environmental engineering, urban planning, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science. This textbook introduces urban infrastructure from an engineering perspective, with an emphasis on sustainability. Bringing together both fundamental principles and practical knowledge from civil engineering, environmental engineering, urban planning, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and computer science, the book transcends disciplinary boundaries by viewing urban infrastructures as integrated networks. The text devotes a chapter to each of five engineering systems--electricity, water, transportation, buildings, and solid waste--covering such topics as fundamentals, demand, management, technology, and analytical models. Other chapters present a formal definition of sustainability; discuss population forecasting techniques; offer a history of urban planning, from the Neolithic era to Kevin Lynch and Jane Jacobs; define and discuss urban metabolism and infrastructure integration, reviewing system interdependencies; and describe approaches to urban design that draw on complexity theory, algorithmic models, and machine learning. Throughout, a hypothetical city state, Civitas, is used to explain and illustrate the concepts covered. Each chapter includes working examples and problem sets. An appendix offers tables, diagrams, and conversion factors. The book can be used in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in civil engineering and as a reference for practitioners. It can also be helpful in preparation for the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) and Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exams.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
一本介紹城市基礎設施整合與可持續設計的教科書,涵蓋土木工程、環境工程、城市規劃、電機工程、機械工程和計算機科學等領域。
這本教科書從工程的角度介紹城市基礎設施,強調可持續性。它將土木工程、環境工程、城市規劃、電機工程、機械工程和計算機科學的基本原則與實用知識結合起來,通過將城市基礎設施視為整合的網絡,超越了學科的界限。
本書為五個工程系統——電力、水、交通、建築和固體廢物——各分配一章,涵蓋基本原則、需求、管理、技術和分析模型等主題。其他章節則提供可持續性的正式定義;討論人口預測技術;回顧城市規劃的歷史,從新石器時代到Kevin Lynch和Jane Jacobs;定義並討論城市代謝和基礎設施整合,回顧系統間的相互依賴性;並描述基於複雜性理論、算法模型和機器學習的城市設計方法。在整個過程中,使用一個假設的城市國家Civitas來解釋和說明所涵蓋的概念。每章包括實作範例和習題集。附錄提供表格、圖示和轉換因子。本書可用於土木工程的高級本科和研究生課程,也可作為實務工作者的參考資料。此外,它對於準備工程基礎考試(FE)和工程原則與實務考試(PE)也有幫助。
