Publisher's Synopsis
"This book is the result of a three years of iterative Research which explores the ways in which technology, community, and urban design can work together to create more sustainable and productive cities. Through an in-depth analysis of the city of Rome, the Research focus on community building and new urban models toward more sustainable, resilient, and productive cities. The outcome of the Research is a hyper-local tool that enables bottom-up initiatives to respond to specific needs and help develop new economies. This approach, combined with top-down initiatives from Administrations, would be useful for policymakers, urban planners, makers, designers, and citizens who want to design and advocate for sustainable urban development models and thriving neighborhoods. With its practical insights and real-world examples, this book offers a roadmap for building more resilient and sustainable cities in the 21st century"--.
