520 _aThe Smartcity is an innovative response to problems resulting from the expansion of cities. Addressing a possible resurgence in the symbiotic relationship of humans with the city, this title guides the reader in how Smartcity practices could be used in contemporary society. The central component of the Smartcity is urban agriculture and the establishment of an ecological symbiosis between nature and built form. Over human history, agrarian economies have been replaced by industrial economies that have in turn been supplanted by post-industrial economies. The Smartcity postulates that the next and final stage of evolution can only be a circular economy that subsumes agriculture, energy and industry into co-dependency and self-perpetuation
