Krátky popis
Cities are a big deal. More people now live in them than don't, and
with a growing world population, the urban jungle is only going to
get busier in the coming decades. But how often do we stop to think
about what makes our cities work? Cities are built using some of
the most creative and revolutionary science and engineering ideas -
from steel structures that scrape the sky to glass cables that help
us communicate at the speed of light - but most of us are too busy
to notice.&,nbsp,Science and the City&,nbsp,is your
guidebook to that hidden world, helping you to uncover some of the
remarkable technologies that keep the world's great metropolises
moving. Laurie Winkless takes us around cities in six continents to
find out how they're dealing with the challenges of feeding,
housing, powering and connecting more people than ever before. In
this book, you'll meet urban pioneers from history, along with
today's experts in everything from roads to time, and you will
uncover the vital role science has played in shaping the city
around you. But more than that, by exploring cutting-edge research
from labs across the world, you'll build your own vision of the
megacity of tomorrow, based on science fact rather than science
fiction. Science and the City&,nbsp,is the perfect read for
anyone curious about the world they live in.
