Sinopse

Underground Freight Tunnels explores the revolutionary concept of moving freight underground to alleviate urban congestion and improve air quality. Historically, tunnels have been used for passenger transport and utilities; however, this book focuses on the emergence of subterranean systems dedicated to freight, highlighting their potential to reshape urban logistics. It examines the intricate aspects of tunnel construction, automated freight handling technologies, and the economic and environmental impacts of integrating these systems, arguing that they offer a sustainable solution to the challenges posed by urbanization and e-commerce.

 
The book delves into various tunnel construction methodologies suited for different geological conditions and emphasizes the importance of automated systems, such as robotic loading and centralized controls, for efficient freight management. It also presents a holistic view by integrating technological feasibility with economic viability and environmental sustainability. Case studies, financial models, and insights from engineers and urban planners demonstrate the long-term benefits of underground freight systems, addressing concerns about initial costs and construction disruptions.

 
The book progresses from introducing the fundamentals of underground logistics to exploring tunnel construction techniques and automated systems. Later chapters assess economic feasibility, environmental impact, and social considerations, culminating in a discussion of future expansion and necessary policy changes. It offers practical guidelines for implementation, making it a valuable resource for engineers, urban planners, and policymakers interested in innovative urban solutions.

    Time wants you dead. Not just you, but your friends, family, pets – everyone you’ve ever met… 
     
    With over 17,000 known diseases affecting humans, and countless poisons, carcinogens and toxins in our environment, it’s a miracle that our bodies manage to keep us alive. And that is, of course, if they don’t betray us themselves, whether through cancers or autoimmune conditions. 
     
    Biomedical researcher Professor John Tregoning tells the unlikely story of how, against all odds, we manage to stay alive. Taking an organ-by-organ tour of the human body, Tregoning embarks on his own experimental quest, testing 'life-extending' diets and exercise regimes to separate fact from fad. Exploring the multitude of ways our bodies can kill us, from inherited genetic conditions, through heart attacks, arrythmias and angina, onto the delicate workings of the brain, Live Forever? offers compelling insight into how our bodies work, how we can best look after them – and ultimately live longer, healthier lives.

    WINNER OF THE 2022 WRITERS’ TRUST BALSILLIE PRIZE FOR PUBLIC POLICY
    		 
    Is the ‘smart city’ the utopia we’ve been waiting for?
    		 
    The promise of the so-called smart city has been at the forefront of urban planning and development since the early 2010s, and the tech industry that supplies smart city software and hardware is now worth hundreds of billions a year.
    		 
    But the ideas and approaches underpinning smart city tech raise tough and important questions about the future of urban communities, surveillance, automation, and public participation. The smart city era, moreover, belongs firmly in a longer historical narrative about cities — one defined by utopian ideologies, architectural visions, and technological fantasies.
    		 
    Smart streetlights, water and air quality tracking, autonomous vehicles: with examples from all over the world, including New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Portland, and Chicago, Dream States unpacks the world of smart city tech, but also situates this important shift in city-building into a broader story about why we still dream about perfect places.
    		 
    “John Lorinc’s incisive analysis in Dream States reminds us that the search for urban utopia is not new. Throughout the book, Lorinc underscores the fact that a gamut of urban innovations – from smart city megaprojects to e-government to pandemic preparedness tools – only provide promise when scrutinized together with the political, economic, social, and physical complexities of urban life.” – Shauna Brail, University of Toronto
    		 
    “Dream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias takes us on a fascinating journey across world cities to show how technology has shaped them in the past and how smart city technology will reshape them in the future. This book is essential reading for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges of smart city technology and what it means for city building.” – Enid Slack, University of Toronto School of Cities
    		 
    “Utopia may be the oldest grift in the city-building business, but Dream States shows that technology is a timeless tool for turning the most ordinary of urban dreams – clean air and water, safe streets, and decent homes – into reality. As digital dilettantes try to sell us on a software overhaul, John Lorinc provides us an indispensable and flawless guide to the must-haves and never-agains of the smart city.” – Anthony Townsend, Urbanist in Residence, Cornell Tech, author of Smart Cities
