| Popis: | The aim of this chapter is to address the future of urbanization on the Galapagos Islands from a design perspective, under the assumption that human settlements and activities are part of the archipelago’s ecosystem, thus unlikely to be eradicated in order to restore the natural environment to its original condition. The research reported here takes multi-criteria optimization of competing liveability, economic, and ecological parameters as a guiding methodology and investigates the extent to which complex adaptive systems (CAS) can mitigate a tendency to trend toward at best an average outcome – characterized as “the color gray” in the chapter title. The principal motivation is the quest for “software tools” (effectively “apps”) that ultimately provide community leaders and end-users alike with the ability to investigate the likely positive and negative effects of any opportunistic change they might propose to the built environment. |
