City & town planning - architectural aspects
Cities are not shaped by humans alone. Plants, animals, water bodies, climate, and technology all act as non-human forces that influence how urban areas grow, adapt, and survive. In this groundbreaking work, Izhar Ul Haq explores the hidden yet powerful role of these actors in shaping sustainable and resilient cities. From Dutch water management and polders to Lahore's rainwater harvesting tanks, and from pollinators in urban agriculture to artificial intelligence in smart cities, this book reveals how ecological and technological systems interact with human planning decisions. By integrating non-human actors into urban design, planners can create cities that balance development with nature, reduce climate risks, and improve quality of life. A vital resource for urban planners, architects, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of sustainable development.
