This book conceptualizes and synthesizes worldwide research on the quality of urban life. It looks at quality of life within urban cities analysing amenities, infrastructure and assets while also bringing in the discourse around scarcity, disparity, accessibility, sustainability, equity, and well-being.
Organized into four major parts, the book reflects on the interconnections between theories and practice and through a multi-disciplinary approach focuses on the aspects of urban environment and planning that makes cities inclusive, safe, resilient, smart, and sustainable. This book highlights the enormous strain on urban areas due to severe scarcity of civic systems and provides an in-depth look into urban concerns and pressing challenges from a global perspective, as well as many planning approaches to solving these problems.
This book will be useful to students, researchers and teachers working in the field of urban studies, remote sensing and GIS, planning and sustainability, sustainable development, urban geography, development geography and population geography. This book would also be an invaluable companion to thought leaders, policy makers and industry and other professionals working in the field of urban planning and human development.
