From data to design: a roadmap for climate-resilient urban futures in Busan A synthesis of analytics and imagination that can shape the next generation of carbon-neutral cities A toolkit for architects and urbanists navigating the complexity of twenty-first-century ecological design Busan Boosters examines the future of climate-resilient and carbon-neutral cities through the lens of Busan, a city facing population decline, industrial transition and pressing environmental challenges. This richly illustrated volume brings together regenerative design, urban metabolism mapping and data-driven planning to reimagine urban life. Developed in transdisciplinary studios and through international collaboration, it presents strategies for shrinking cities, resilient infrastructure and sustainable land use. Designing for the future means working with different levels of certainty, from precise data and analysis to forecasts and speculative “what if” scenarios, and Busan Boosters shows how to move between intuitive, creative ideas and measurable responses. From ecological corridors to smart manufacturing and territorial governance, it offers visionary yet practical tools for architects, planners and urbanists responding to the challenges of the twenty-first century. This is essential reading for those shaping the future of cities through systems thinking, decarbonization and spatial innovation.
