Por décadas, permeó una visión de la tecnología como una de las principales fuentes del ataque al medio ambiente y de su degradación. Hoy se le considera como un aliado para combatir los efectos negativos de la perenne negligencia ecológica humana. El uso de la tecnología para la implementación de estrategias innovadoras y eficaces en favor del medio ambiente, un hábitat seguro y sustentable se abordó en el Congreso Internacional sobre Sustentabilidad en los Hábitats, realizado en 2016. De este encuentro entre estudiantes, especialistas, autoridades y organizaciones civiles de América Latina, Asia y Europa emana este libro, que incluye dos ejes de relevancia global: los retos en el manejo sustentable de los recursos naturales y el uso de tecnologías para la edificación sustentable. En el primero se atienden desde los riesgos asociados al crecimiento demográfico desproporcionado hasta acciones de carácter remedial para la contaminación; mientras que en el segundo se aborda el desarrollo de tecnología e infraestructura para mejorar el hábitat urbano, así como procesos donde alumnos y profesores confeccionan soluciones para la sustentabilidad energética. En su conjunto, es una obra de consulta que busca ser un detonador para generar nuevas líneas de trabajo, repensar las soluciones y dialogar con lectores interesados en la construcción de un mundo mejor.
