À quoi ressemblera Londres dans cent ans ? Il y a un siècle, après s'être posé cette question, la London Society a publié « London of the Future », un ouvrage audacieux et visionnaire qui prévoyait des aéroports en centre- ville et des tunnels sous la Manche, et abordait des questions aussi prémonitoires que la pollution, le logement et l'accès à l'espace public. Ce nouveau livre intrigant explique comment la ville pourrait et devrait s'améliorer d'ici 2123. Au fil de dix-huit essais, des experts de divers domaines - ingénierie, urbanisme, architecture, fabrication, futurologie, journalisme et autres - prédisent comment la métropole pourrait être gouvernée, organisée et conçue dans les années à venir. Certaines des questions soulevées dans le livre original sont toujours d'actualité, mais il existe de nombreuses considérations nouvelles et stimulantes que les auteurs du XXe siècle n'auraient pas pu prévoir. La ville deviendra-t-elle un parc patrimonial pour touristes, à l'image de Venise, ou sera-t-elle un État indépendant ? La production alimentaire locale pourrait-elle nourrir la capitale ? Comment devrons-nous nous adapter au changement climatique ? Deviendrons-nous une techno-utopie, où la vie des Londoniens sera en parfaite harmonie avec l'intelligence artificielle ? Comment parvenir à un Londres juste et équitable pour tous ? « London of the Future » présente une série d'idées entièrement nouvelles et actualisées pour le XXIe siècle et au-delà. Il suscitera le débat parmi les architectes, les promoteurs et les planificateurs, et fournira également des pistes de réflexion plus générales, dans un monde où le changement s'imposera à tous.

Hardback. Etat : New. The proposals in London of the Future aim to predict and prescribe how the metropolis might be governed, organized, and designed in years to come and to provoke debate among planners, architects, and developers.Over the course of eighteen essays, experts in various fields - engineering, urbanism, architecture, manufacturing, futurology, journalism, and more - examine possibilities for reimagining and improving many aspects of the city. These writers consider changes both radical and minor that could shape London into a more resilient city and a fairer, healthier place to live.The architectural commentator Peter Murray provides an engaging introduction. Discussing some of the more interesting and, in some cases, eccentric proposals of the earlier book, he paves the way for an entirely new and up-to-date collection of ideas for the twenty-first century and beyond.The architectural critic and consultant Hugh Pearman ponders the dangers and uses of prediction while proposing that London be improved and made more liveable, rather than expanded and developed. The architect Carolyn Steel continues the focus on making the city a more pleasant place to live by discussing the future of its food supplies, considering the place of farming within the city's boundaries to spearhead urban renewal in a newly environmental age.The engineer Roma Agrawal advocates increasing cross-disciplinary understanding in the building and engineering world so that tomorrow's engineers can be curious without boundaries. Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara of the architectural practice Grafton interrogate the meaning of permanence, and what London's inhabitants will need from their buildings, and the urbanist Kat Hanna discusses the future of two of London's identities: the Central Business District and the Financial Services Hub. Mark Brearley, an architect and proprietor of a long-established London manufacturer, writes on the subject of the local high street and how the city is strengthened by these social, commercial hubs. Gillian Darley, a writer and historian, looks at the future of heritage, and how the city's past can be conserved and contribute towards its future. Sarah Ichioka is an environmental and social consultant, and her approach focuses on the climate emergency and natural solutions to make the city more resilient. The architect Indy Johar puts forward radical ideas about the shift that is required of all London's inhabitants if the city is to transform itself for the future, and Smith Mordak, an architect and engineer with Buro Happold, advocates for large infrastructural changes for sustainability. The cultural practitioner and writer Yasmin Jones-Henry, meanwhile, advocates for the value of cultural activities, powered by diversity, while the theatre director Jude Kelly calls for London's broadly inclusive cultural past to be put at the centre of future plans, and imagines a place for AI in that future.Dame Baroness Lawrence, a campaigner who has promoted ref.
