Well it has been a while since I last posted but I guess I need to acknowledge the fact that I helped write a book with my friend and colleague Dr Paul Cureton.
Entitled “Geodesign, Urban Digital Twins and Futures” this book is the culmination of many discussions and interactions with Paul over the years. The book explores systems, processes and novel technologies for planning, mapping, and designing our built environment. In a period of advancing urban infrastructure, technological autonomy in cities and high-performance geographic systems, new capabilities, novel techniques, and streamlined procedures have emerged concurrently with climatic challenges, pandemics and increasing global urbanization.
Chapters cover a range of topics such as Urban Digital Twins, GeoBIM, Geodesign and collaborative tools, immersive environments, gamification, and future methods.
This book features over 100 international projects and workflows, five detailed case studies, and a companion website. In addition, this book examines Geodesign as an agent for collaboration alongside futuring methods for imagining and understanding our future world.
In addition we have created a special book companion website, where we will post blogs, tutorials and other resources and try and keep up with the world of geodesign and digital twins! https://geodesigndigitaltwins.com/
I am so proud to be part of this and especially proud of my design for the book cover! Now go but it and be sure to leave a review wherever you read it please!
