Our world is experiencing increasingly complex social and environmental challenges. The prevailing business models and, to some extent, capitalism per se, are frequently blamed for these problems due to their neglect of social and environmental values in favour of financial returns. Within this context, social finance has attracted the attention of governments, organizations, entrepreneurs, and researchers as a means of mobilizing resources and innovation with the goal of establishing effective long-term solutions. This edited collection summarizes, discusses, and analyzes new innovative trends in social finance. It features contributions that aim to highlight emerging trends (products, tools, and processes) in social finance, present a series of case studies related to the development, deployment, and scaling of social finance innovations, offer an understanding of how non-economic externalities are being incorporated, managed, and assessed in recent innovations, reveal the disruptivepotential of social finance innovations by analyzing how they are redefining mainstream finance, analyze the scales – of operation and impact – of different innovations, and explore the complex relationship between social finance and social innovation. Featuring contributions from both the research and practitioner community as well as policy actors, the book provides more than a snapshot of the current social finance field by specifically highlighting the major challenges and difficulties that require the urgent attention of policymakers and social entrepreneurs.

This edited collection presents, reviews, and critically analyzes sustainable practices and long-term-oriented decision-making in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Campus closures and the quick transition to hybrid or e-learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic caused HEI stakeholders, including students, faculty, and staff, to swiftly adopt new ways of learning, teaching, and administering that were unfathomable only months before. This radical and challenging shift left many in academia with a sense that there is tremendous potential for HEIs to take the lead – both from an educational and practical standpoint – in fostering on- and off-campus sustainability and combatting climate change. In this book, the editors and their contributors systematically highlight current challenges that are slowing or derailing HEIs’ finance-related initiatives and practices geared toward sustainability. The case studies collected in this book provide a holistic overview of the ways inwhich financial and other long-term decisions can lead to more sustainable practices in higher education.

Cities are engines of economic growth and innovation. To sustain growth in urban agglomerations, local governments need strategies to address disruptions caused by climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequity. Machine learning (ML) offers a powerful way for city planners to manage, predict, and mitigate these complex challenges. While urban planning has traditionally relied on techniques based on historical data and deterministic models, the dynamic and interconnected nature of contemporary challenges demands more sophisticated and AI-augmented approaches. ML algorithms today can ingest large-scale, multisource data to generate real-time predictions and identify vulnerabilities across infrastructure, mobility, and social systems.This book examines how ML supports sustainable smart cities—cities prepared to address multiple challenges while prioritizing resident quality of life by maintaining the capacity to thrive economically and socially. It explores ways to use ML to enable smarter infrastructure and building design, from system-level networks to specific applications in construction and operations. Chapters demonstrate how ML optimizes urban mobility through improved public transportation, fleet management, and urban flow prediction. The book also examines ML applications in urban resilience, including flood risk management, air quality monitoring, and disaster response systems. Additionally, it explores innovative applications in social sustainability, such as affective computing for community well-being and equity-focused planning tools.Featuring contributions from leading experts in architecture, urban planning, engineering, computer science, and sustainability, the book showcases real-world case studies of successful ML applications in cities worldwide. The resulting volume bridges theoretical developments with practical implementations, offering technical depth and actionable insights for creating sustainable urban futures.
