Sustainable Urban Management

In the process of urban development in the 20th century characterized by urban expansion and redevelopment, a huge and advanced complex of urban structures was formed in the industrialized countries. However, with the conventional technologies focused on the construction of structures, it has become difficult to keep urban space adaptable to environmental constraints and economic, social and cultural changes; that is, those conventional technologies can no longer meet the social demands for upgrading social capital in a sustainable manner and regenerating attractive urban space not only safe and highly efficient but also conscious of historical, cultural and local identities to guarantee a high quality of life for all. Therefore, what is needed is to find a new approach that is able to reorganize the existing social capital and the technologies to implement it. That is neither a mere planning approach nor a mere engineering approach, but a comprehensive approach. Course Schedule and Contents Classroom: Room 144, Engineering Building No. 14, Hongo Campus 1.
