Exposing the limitations of conventional approaches to the engineering and regulation of technology, Vanderburg suggests that the solution lies in a preventive strategy that situates technological growth in its human, societal, and biospheric contexts.
Willem H. Vanderburg is the director of the Centre for Technology and Social Development and a professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, the Institute for Environmental Studies, and the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto.
