City Preparedness for the Climate Crisis
Exploring the ways that contemporary urban life takes the Holocene for granted, this multidisciplinary book warns that anthropogenic environmental impacts are on course to challenge the viability of most human settlements. It highlights how, despite increased warnings, most cities appear to be in denial of the potential impending catastrophes and remain ill-prepared to handle major disruptions.
A Modern Guide to Knowledge
Outlining an integrative theory of knowledge, Francisco Javier Carrillo explores how to understand the underlying behavioural basis of the knowledge economy and society. Chapters highlight the notion that unless a knowledge-based value creation and distribution paradigm is globally adopted, the possibilities for integration between a sustainable biosphere and a viable economy are small.
Building Prosperous Knowledge Cities
This unique book reveals the procedural aspects of knowledge-based urban planning, development and assessment.

This book provides a thorough understanding of these transformations and the key issues in building prosperous knowledge cities by focusing particularly on the policy-making, planning process and perform...
Conhecimento e mudança
O século 21 testemunhou uma acentuada aceleração de relatos de pesquisas empíricas em periódicos nacionais sobre comportamento organizacional, por meio de objetos de investigação como afeto, aprendizagem, bem-estar e saúde, identidade e significado, cognição, contratos psicológicos, mudança, desempenho e cultura. A despeito de todo esse progresso, o estudo sistemático da comunicação organizacional ficou bem aquém do que seria esperado, levando a uma lacuna injustificável. Assim, esse tema, ao mesmo tempo que dispõe de referenciais teóricos robustos, é carente de pesquisa no contexto das organizações e do trabalho que nos cerca. Conhecimento e mudança, nono volume da co...

Humane and Sustainable Smart Cities
Humane and Sustainable Smart Cities explores how to develop emergent smart cities that are rooted in humane, innovative and sustainable values (CHIS). The book considers the move from technocratic and idealized smart metropole to humane cities as a product of fundamental demographic changes, the development of a usage-based rather than an ownership economy, the novel implications of digitalization, decentralization and decarbonization, and Internet-enabled changes in public opinion towards democratization and participation. The book's authors explore seven dimensions and characteristics of humane, sustainable and innovative cities in the developing world: the economy, people, the place, ener...

Cidades Inteligentes
Cidades Inteligentes: uma Abordagem Sustentável discute os desafios do uso da tecnologia para interconectar a infraestrutura das cidades brasileiras e os diversos aspectos que envolvem a implantação de modelos de organização urbana conhecidos como cidades inteligentes. Elaborado pelo Centro de Estudos e Debates Estratégicos com o apoio técnico da Consultoria Legislativa da Câmara dos Deputados, o estudo destaca que uma cidade inteligente é aquela que investe em capital humano e social, desenvolvimento econômico sustentável, inovação e empreendedorismo, percorrendo os seguintes eixos: a educação formal, a economia baseada em conhecimento, os processos produtivos, a tecnologia, a sustentabilidade e a governança. Tudo com foco em cidadania, qualidade de vida e bem-estar dos cidadãos.
