Overview

This is the first interdisciplinary book on a holistic approach to Urban Facility Management (UFM) based on recent scientific insights and analysis over a defined period of eight years of research. With this book, I would like to share insights on UFM together with several other authors and specialists worldwide. The book covers what is UFM, the added value of UFM, the results of eight years of scientific research and finally how can we face the future of UFM. UFM adds value by developing sustainable, resilient and vibrant cities that improve the quality of life for residents. UFM promotes economic growth and ensures efficient and effective use of resources. Through comprehensive management of real estate, infrastructure and public spaces, UFM contributes to future-proof cities that balance economic progress, environmental protection and social cohesion. The future of urban planning will increasingly depend on UFM’s role in shaping urban environments that respond to the challenges of the 21st century, including climate change, population growth and technological innovations.
