Age-Friendly Engineering for the Built Environment (Woodhead Publishing Series in Civil and Structural Engineering) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Age-Friendly Engineering for the Built Environment emphasizes the integration of human-centric planning and design approaches with innovative technologies to enhance accessibility, safety, and quality of life for an aging population as they navigate daily activities, interact with their surroundings, and maintain independence within evolving urban landscapes. This well-thought-out research reference book advocates for inclusive, efficient, and resilient localities by exploring the pivotal role of engineers in shaping them, while addressing the various engineering challenges that must be overcome to realize these goals. It considers a broad range of topics specific to the built environment and its dwellers―from well-lit walkways, accessible buildings, pace-sensitive traffic lighting, easily navigable transportation infrastructure and services, aging-in-place housing, and multigeneration cultural facilities to wearable devices and in-home, AI-powered sensors and smart assistive equipment to optimize health and safety―aptly spanning both macro- and microscales. Details on the latest advancements, actionable insights from case studies, and application examples strengthen the coverage and amplify its value for advanced students, researchers, practitioners, and other technical stakeholders involved in the development of future-ready cities.
