A series of urban problems such as dwelling deficit, infrastructure problems, inefficient services, environmental pollution, etc. can be observed in many countries. Urban Engineering searches solutions for these problems using a conjoined system of planning, management and technology. A great deal of research is devoted to application of instruments, methodologies and tools for monitoring and acquisition of data, based on the factual experience and computational modeling. The objective of the book was to present works related to urban automation, geographic information systems (GIS), analysis, monitoring and management of urban noise, floods and transports, information technology applied to the cities, tools for urban simulation, social monitoring and control of urban policies, sustainability, etc., demonstrating methods and techniques applied in Urban Engineering. Considering all the interesting information presented, the book can offer some aid in creating new research, as well as incite the interest of people for this area of study, since Urban Engineering is fundamental for city development.
Excerpt from Municipal Engineering Practice The municipal engineer is called upon to serve officially in more diversified branches of engineering and allied subjects than probably any other technical man. Of these various subjects he may find sewerage, water supply and street paving quite thoroughly treated in several excellent text-books, but practical information concerning street cleaning, constructing public comfort stations, and a score of other matters is not so readily obtainable. It is possible, also, that this lack of textbooks from which these subjects can be taught is one reason, at least, why most of them, although of recognized importance, are not even touched upon by engineerin...
