As the world continues to urbanize at an unprecedented rate, cities around the globe are proliferating, expanding, and merging to form a new urban typology - the megacity. Against a backdrop of the world's urban population growing by a million new urban inhabitants every week, cities must cope with the strain of that growth in new and unconventional ways. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in a host of challenges that must be addressed, including: inadequate infrastructure provision, energy production obstacles, social inequity, pollution, quality of life issues, and a loss of heritage and identity amid unbridled redevelopment. These challenges, which are common around the globe yet magnified in megacities due to their unique circumstances, should be seen as a litmus test for the great ideas of our time and a call to action for bold new paradigms in urban development.This collection of papers was originally presented at the CTBUH 2016 Conference, which took place progressively across Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong. There is perhaps nowhere on the planet that demonstrates the impact of urbanization as markedly as these cities in China's Pearl River Delta. Surpassing Tokyo as the world's largest single continual urban conurbation of 42 million in 2010, the megacity is set to grow to 120 million inhabitants by 2050. In so many ways - physically, culturally, and economically - the three teeming metropolises, and others in the region, are merging into, effectively, one super-linked urban whole, with a network of ultra-connected, modern infrastructure.The publication thus examines the phenomenon of dense vertical urbanism and the technological innovations that are driving new cities, building forms, functions, materials, and construction techniques. Volume I considers the larger economic, social, and urban-scale considerations of megacities and dense vertical urbanism, while Volume II focuses on specific advances in technical subjects, engineering, data modeling, and façade performance, among other topics, that are facilitating today's megacities.… (plus d'informations)
