Cover von Advisory Committee on Technology and Society: Cities and Their Vital Systems (PDF)

Cities and Their Vital Systems asks basic questions about the longevity, utility, and nature of urban infrastructures; analyzes how they grow, interact, and change; and asks how, when, and at what cost they should be replaced. Among the topics discussed are problems arising from increasing air travel and airport congestion; the adequacy of water supplies and waste treatment; the impact of new technologies on construction; urban real estate values; and the field of "telematics, " the combination of computers and telecommunications that makes money machines and national newspapers possible.
