Book Methods for Multilevel Analysis and Visualisation of Geographical Networks

Download or read book Methods for Multilevel Analysis and Visualisation of Geographical Networks written by Céline Rozenblat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-03 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This leading-edge study focuses on the latest techniques in analysing and representing the complex, multi-layered data now available to geographers studying urban zones and their populations. The volume tracks the successful results of the SPANGEO Project, which was set up in 2005 to standardize, and share, the syncretic, multinational mapping techniques already developed by geographers and computer scientists. SPANGEO sought new and responsive ways of visualising urban geographical and social data that reflected the fine-grained detail of the inputs. It allowed for visual representation of the large and complex networks and flows which are such an integral feature of the dynamism of urban geography. SPANGEO developed through the ‘visual analytics loop’ in which geographers collaborated with computer scientists by feeding data into the design of visualisations that in turn spawned the urge to incorporate more varied data into the visualisation. This volume covers all the relevant aspects, from conceptual principles to the tools of network analysis and the actual results flowing from their deployment. Detailed case studies set out in this volume include spatial multi-level analyses of flows in airports and sea ports, as well as the fascinating scientific networks in European cities. The volume shows how the primary concern of geography—the interaction of society with physical space—has been revivified by the complexities of new cartographical and statistical methodologies, which allow for highly detailed mapping and far more powerful computer analysis of spatial relationships.

Book R  seaux de villes et r  seaux d innovation en Europe

Download or read book R seaux de villes et r seaux d innovation en Europe written by Marie-Noëlle Comin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 1444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'innovation technologique, qui en Europe, comme dans le reste du monde, a acquis une importance stratégique croissante dans la compétition économique, joue un rôle moteur dans la structuration et la dynamique des systèmes de peuplement. Dans quelle mesure le processus d'innovation affecte-t-il la structure du système des villes européennes? Cette thèse met en œuvre des données et outils inédits en géographie urbaine pour étudier les processus qui sous-tendent la structuration et l'évolution, dans le système des villes européennes, des réseaux de recherche communautaire consacrés aux technologies convergentes qui portent en germe le potentiel d'une future vague d'innovation à l'horizon 2020. Plus précisément, cette thèse vise à approcher la diffusion spatiale des extemalités de connaissance produites par ces réseaux de recherche entre les villes européennes, ce sont ces extemalités qui conditionnent les futures évolutions différentielles des villes pour le nouveau cycle d'innovation.

Book The Italian Urban System

Download or read book The Italian Urban System written by Piero Bonavero and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this volume situates the Italian urban system within a European context, examining the best approach to integration. Connections between urban development, territorial cohesion and the European urban system have been clearly identified by Europe 2000 (1991) and identified as primary instruments for achieving social and economic cohesion and competitiveness as per the Treaty of Maastricht and the White Paper, Growth, Competitiveness, Employment (1993). This book aids this endeavour through featuring contributions on cities as nodes of transport networks, economic change, the demographic transition, the local milieu, regional cohesion and global networks and how the system can integrate into European urban networks.

Book European Port Cities in Transition

Download or read book European Port Cities in Transition written by Angela Carpenter and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seaports, as part of urban centers, play a major role in the cultural, social and economic life of the cities in which they are located, and through the links they provide to the outside world. Port-cities in Europe have faced significant change, first with the loss of heavy industry, emergence of Eastern European democracies, and the widening of the European Community (now European Union) during the second half of the twentieth century, and more recently through drivers to change including the global Sustainable Development Agenda and the European Union Circular Economy Agenda. This book examines the role of modern seaports in Europe and consider how port-cities are responding to these major drivers for change. It discusses the broad issues facing European Sea Ports, including port life cycles, spatial planning, and societal integration. May 2019 saw the 200th anniversary of the first steam ship to cross the Atlantic between the US and England, and it is just over 60 years since the invention of the modern intermodal shipping container – both drivers of change in the maritime and ports industry. Increasing movements of people, e.g. through low cost cruises to port cities, can play a major role in changing the nature of such a city and impact on the lives of the people living there. This book brings together original research by both long-standing and younger scholars from multiple disciplines and builds upon the wider discourse about sea ports, port cities, and sustainability.

Book Knowledge and Networks

Download or read book Knowledge and Networks written by Johannes Glückler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses a core question in many fields of the social sciences, namely how to create, share and adopt new knowledge. It creates an original space for conversation between two lines of research that have developed largely in parallel for a long time: social network theory and the geography of knowledge. This book considers that relational thinking has become increasingly important for scholars to capture societal outcomes by studying social relations and networks, whereas the role of place, space and spatial scales has been somewhat neglected outside an emergent geography of knowledge. The individual contributions help integrate network arguments of connectivity, geographical arguments of contiguity and contextuality into a more comprehensive understanding of the ways in which people and organizations are constrained by and make use of space and networks for learning and innovation. Experts in the fields of geography, sociology, economics, political science, psychology, management and organizational studies develop conceptual models and propose empirical research that illustrates the ways in which networks and geography play together in processes of innovation, learning, leadership, and power.

Book Les r  seaux de villes en Europe

Download or read book Les r seaux de villes en Europe written by Lise Brousseau and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ceci fait en sorte qu'il y a intégration complète de la gestion de l'énergie et de l'environnement. Au Canada, l'implication des gouvernements, pour qui les fonctions énergie et environnment sont gérées par des entités différentes, ne favorisent pas autant l'intégration des deux fonctions. La gestion centralisée de la production et de la distribution de l'énergie contribue bien sûr à cet état de fait. Au cours de cette mission, les représentants des gouvernements fédéral et provincial ainsi que ceux de la ville de Montréal ont conclu qu'il serait opportun de mettre en place un réseau de villes au Québec, un réseau qui pourrait rapidement s'étendre au reste du Canada et à l'Amérique du Nord.

Book excerpt: L'histoire r~cente de l'audiovisuel en France ne peut ~tre rapport~e sans prendre en compte le changement de majorit~ poli tique de 1981. Sans doute les innovations techniques qui inter pellent aujourd'hui les diff~rents acteurs du champ audiovisuel ~taient-elles d~ja pr~sentes ou en germe d~s la fin de la d~cennie pr~c~dente. Mais la volont~ de l'Etat de faire de la communication audiovisuelle une des cl~s de voQte d'une nouvelle politique culturelle et ~conomique n'a cess~ d'entretenir une tension toute particuli~re dans un paysage qui n'avait que fort peu ~volu~ de 1974 a 1982, si l'on excepte la dissolution de l'ORTF et la cr~ation simultan~e de sept soci~t~s, chacune sp~cialis~e dans une des fonctions de la radio-diffusion (produc tion, programmation, diffusion-- l.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les villes européennes ne sont pas les seules à être enracinées dans l'histoire, ni à représenter la modernité en matière économique et architecturale. Leur originalité est de cumuler ces deux caractéristiques - difficiles à concilier, comme en témoignent les débats sur le devenir des centres anciens. L'unité des villes européennes n'est cependant qu'apparente, en raison de la diversité des tailles et des fonctions, et de l'appartenance à différents sous-ensembles culturels (Europe septentrionale, méridionale, orientale). Un "système urbain" européen se constitue progressivement, avec comme éléments moteurs les métropoles d'Europe occidentale.

Book Dreams of disconnection

Download or read book Dreams of disconnection written by Fanny Lopez and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-24 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do we live in homes and communities built around the century-old industrial model of large service networks that use polluting resources? For more than a century, creative architects and planners have dreamed of decentralisation and self-sufficient living, not to cut themselves off from society, but to invent new modes of consumption and to rethink collective public services around common environmental values. In a time of climate crisis, changing society means changing energy infrastructures. Dreams of disconnection tells the story of this strand of design and planning, from its pioneers in the late nineteenth century to those applying similar ideas to tomorrow’s technology two hundred years later. Lopez takes in many a utopian visionary in her tour of dreamers of disconnection, from theorists and architects to industrialists and engineers. Technology and design are the centrepieces for these projects, and their complexity, particularly around sustainable supplies of energy, food and water, so often find solutions in aesthetics. Whether these models were based around single homes or whole cities, Dreams of disconnection reveals that there is much to be learnt and marvelled at in the history of self-sufficient design.

Download or read book Energy Autonomy written by Benoit Boutaud and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Energy autonomy is an emerging concept that is, as yet, poorly identified in France. It can mean taking ownership of certain issues related to energy, its production, or, indeed, becoming self-sufficient, and it can apply equally to individuals, communities and buildings. While there are numerous new developments – renewable energies, smart grids and self-consumption – it is becoming difficult to know what this idea of “autonomy” covers, just as it is difficult to define “independence” and “self-sufficiency”, which are often associated with it. However, these three concepts are key to thinking about the energy system and deciding its future. Covering distinct ideas, they are often reduced to economic and productive factors. This ambiguity in their meanings is responsible for the misunderstandings, delusions and obstacles that hamper the implementation of the energy transition. This book deconstructs the common idea of autonomy in favor of a set of more operational concepts. It demonstrates that these ideas are not interchangeable but rather represent practical and constructive tools for action. The world of energy is changing, and therefore we must rethink energy autonomy.
