David Such explores how infrastructure systems can be better designed and managed to meet the growing pressures of urbanisation and climate change. His writing focuses on the practical steps cities can take today to prepare for tomorrow, especially as extreme weather and other shocks become more frequent.

Through his stories, readers learn why water, energy and transport networks can no longer be planned or operated in isolation. He explains how connecting these systems into a single, shared view helps city leaders reduce outages, avoid cascading failures and improve everyday reliability for people and businesses.

By drawing on real-world challenges and emerging solutions, David Such provides insight into how data, collaboration and integrated planning can turn fragmented infrastructure into a resilient whole. Readers interested in the future of cities, climate adaptation and smart infrastructure will find his work a practical guide to what needs to change—and how to start.
