Dear Arian pl find my answer below.

In Europe lot of research work is going on to retrofit advance technology in Urban Energy Exploitation. One such project which was carried out will be useful for your research work. It is available on internet. And i could not find any Copy right on these reports. They are in Public domain .

Title of the project

"ENERGY-WASTE - Energy exploitation of non-recyclable urban waste in a sustainable waste-to-energy market LIFE09 ENV/GR/000307"

Quote

"The project’s main innovations were to integrate state-of-the-art technologies (Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) recycling, waste gasification and potentially a biogas power plant), and the preparation of a classified solid recovered fuel (SRF)from non-recyclable waste and its subsequent utilisation with thermal treatment (gasification technology). "

In India there is a national mission called "Smart Cities Mission " where state of art Technology will be used for development of these smart cities.

One such report on Soil Bio Technology SBT

Soil Bio-Technology (SBT) Process: Soil Bio-technology or (SBT) process of waste water treatment and its recycling and reuse has been developed by Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) indigenously after two decades of research. It is a green engineering approach and is considered as notable technology contribution from IITB to waste management. This technology has been awarded US and Indian patents. SBT is based on a bio-conversion process, maintenance free, claims non production of bio-sludge & foul odour, consumes least energy, claims to give effluent compliant to River water disposal standards and has green aesthetics. Its operation is simple, economical & energy efficient. It claims to have served industries, housing societies, resorts, schools / universities / ashrams, hotels, municipal corporations & airports etc.

PS:

Dear Arian you are working on wonderful project my best wishes for success of your sincere effort for social cause of URBAN SOCIETY.

Wish you fruitful and wonderful 2018

Dear Arian,

المدينة (البيئة الحضرية )...هي كائن معقد فيه جوانب اجتماعية واقتصادية وثقافية وحضارية وعمرانيةمعقدة ومتفاعلة ببعضها البعض .............وكل هذه الجوانب بحاجة الى مزيد من التخطيط الحضري ........وبحاجة الى منجزات كل العلوم الاخرى لحل مشاكل البيئة الحضرية ...........فعلى سبيل المثال عند تطبيق مبادئ المدن الذكية بحاجة الى قاعدة بيانات تفصيلية وتتحدث بشكل اةتماتيكي وفق برامج معدة لهذا الغرض ....وهذا يعني يجب ان يكون لدينا حكومة الكترونية وسكان لديهم خبرة في مجال الاتصالات فضلا عن بنية الكترونية في كل القطاعات الخدمية والاقتصادية والنقل والامن وووو....الخ حتى يتمكن المخطط الحضري ان يقوم بوضع اسسى لمدينة ذكية ....اي انها تبدا بحل مشاكلها بنفسها.......

The most interesting applications of STS to cities and planning that I have read are

Hommels, A. (2005). Unbuilding cities: obduracy in urban socio-technical change Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press.

Hommels draws on W.E.Bijker's ideas on the social construction of technology in developing his thesis about urban technology also:

Graham, S., & Marvin, S. (2001). Splintering urbanism : networked infrastructures, technological mobilities and the urban condition London ; New York: Routledge.

Thank you Andre for listing useful litterateur. in fact, I have had a look on your articles in which I like the link between institutional theories and urban planning studies.

Best

Arian

Check the work of Robert A. Young at Univ of Utah, "Stewardship of the Built Environment" by Young and Elefante.they use the SBE approach in reusing older buildings. Good bibliography for your lit. search.

Thank you.
