Engineers, Society, and Sustainability

Focusing on the intersection of engineering and sustainability, this book examines the engineering profession's critical role in addressing the challenges of sustainable development. It critiques traditional ecological modernisation, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of the socio-technical systems that shape society's relationship with nature. By exploring methodologies like Constructive Technology Assessment and Value Sensitive Design, it advocates for a more integrated approach that considers social values and ethical implications to foster sustainable infrastructure and alleviate poverty.
