Artificial Intelligence for Urban Planning
This book aims to introduce planners to AI, outlining essential concepts, terminologies, and methodologies. AI now promises to reshape urban planning, but as with many technological innovations, AI also introduces ethical, practical, and organizational challenges. Understanding both AI's current capabilities and its limitations is essential for planners, even as we acknowledge the rapid and unpredictable nature of its evolution. Chapters address some of these complexities, not by providing definitive answers, but by introducing urban planners to core AI topics. The book shows how planners can effectively use AI in their daily practices, engage constructively with technical specialists, and critically assess the appropriateness of these technologies in different planning contexts. This book will be of interest to both urban planning professionals and researchers.

Toronto Interiors
A survey of the leading interior designers and architects who are collectively defining the city's signature style. As perhaps the most diverse city in the world, Toronto is a veritable patchwork of cultures, styles, languages, and neighbourhoods--each with its own distinct architecture. With heritage rowhouses in Cabbagetown, glass towers overlooking Lake Ontario, narrow Victorian Bay-and-Gables in the Annex, grand Georgians in Rosedale, and wartime bungalows on the edges of the city, there truly is something for everyone. The interiors of these distinct home styles are no less unique, but, when taken together they exemplify the push and pull between heritage and modern sensibilities that has created a true design movement in this city on the lake. In Toronto Interiors, design writer Catherine Macintosh profiles 30 established and emerging local studios that are evolving the living spaces and streetscapes for the next generation of Torontonians. Whether bringing their talents to innovative renovations or new builds, these studios are crafting homes that are beautiful but not precious; homes that are made for how we live now. Within these deeply personal and highly functional spaces are moments of true creative brilliance--the artistic use of light, the seamless interplay between indoors and out, unique focal points, a careful mix of natural materials, and a delicate balance between old and new. The exemplary homes in Toronto Interiors feel at ease in their settings, adding to the city's unique urban landscape. Toronto Interiors spotlights a moment in time when high design and individuality are expertly applied by designers challenging the status quo, inspiring readers to look at their own spaces through a new lens. Featuring 90 projects brought to life in stunning full-colour photography, Toronto Interiors is a book to both read and dream on.

Jvjol & Gaud穩
The intervention of Josep Maria Jujol in the buildings of Antoni Gaud穩 marked a decisive turning point in the Gaudian work.
