Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'urbanisation de la planète est le fait géographique majeur d'aujourd'hui : mégapoles, conurbations, étalement périurbain, poussée des villes petites et moyennes... Les pressions sur l'environnement sont l'artificialisation des sols et de l'air, la ponction sur les ressources. Les villes sont des milieux de vie spécifiques avec leur atmosphère propre, leur végétation, leurs microclimats. En ville, l'eau, si vitale, est mal partagée ; le traitement des déchets fait débat ; réhabiliter des quartiers crée de nouvelles ségrégations sociospatiales. La ville est désormais un enjeu politique et marketing. Quelles sont les représentations collectives de la nature et de l'environnement ? Le développement durable est-il possible ? Les réglementations sont-elles pertinentes ? Les auteurs, qui choisissent leurs exemples dans le monde entier, offrent une réflexion critique et font la première synthèse de recherches originales.
Download or read book L Urbanisation diversifi e written by Madio Fall and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Côte d’Ivoire est en quête d’une stratégie de développement qui lui permettra d’atteindre le statut de pays à revenu intermédiaire, ce qui représente un défi qui nécessiterait un taux de croissance annuel de 10 % pendant plus de 13 ans. L’expérience des économies développées et émergentes démontre que le produit intérieur brut (PIB) par habitant augmente avec la progression de l’urbanisation. Néanmoins, l’économie de la Côte d’Ivoire affiche des performances insuffisantes sur le plan de l’urbanisation. L’urbanisation et le revenu par habitant ont une corrélation négative depuis la fin des années 1970, et la pauvreté augmente. Au lieu d’envisager le développement des villes individuellement, un plan d’urbanisation réussie devrait considérer les villes de la Côte d’Ivoire comme un portefeuille d’actifs qui se distinguent les uns des autres par leur taille, leur emplacement et la densité de leur population. Les auteurs de L’Urbanisation diversifiée : Le cas de la Côte d’Ivoire identifient trois types de villes, fondées sur leurs contributions à la croissance et à la création d’emplois : les connecteurs globaux ; les connecteurs régionaux, situées le long des corridors d’échanges et des transports régionaux ; et les connecteurs locaux, qui génèrent les économies de localisation nécessaires à l’agro-industrie. Les parties prenantes des administrations nationales et infranationales et du secteur privé ont formulé une vision commune de l’urbanisation en Côte d’Ivoire : « villes planifiées, structurées, compétitives, attractives, inclusives et organisées autour de pôles de développement ». Afin de réaliser cette vision et d’atteindre le statut de pays à revenu intermédiaire, les décideurs politique ivoiriens doivent agir de toute urgence pour promouvoir une urbanisation diversifiée pour tous les types de villes. Cette présente étude identifie des contraintes principales et des enjeux dans quatre domaines : la planification, les connexions, l’écologisation, et le financement des villes.

Download or read book Sustainable Development in the USA written by Jean-Marc Zaninetti and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After WWII, the United States of America proposed their way of life, based on an unlimited consumption of land, goods, and energy, as a model for the entire world. Nowadays, this expansionist model has reached its limits. This book provides a comprehensive study of the geographical basis of the American settlements, assuming that part of the U.S. overshooting is related to geography because of harsh climates and the continental size of the Nation, but another part is the result of a cultural habits of expansion and segregation. Urban Sprawl, for instance, is the real Achille's heel of America, because it challenges the cultural revolution required by sustainability. From the continental physiography to the New Orleans – Katrina case, this book explores these issues with maps and charts created with the help of a nationwide multiscalar GIS.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 1170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En ce début de XXIe siècle, la mise en place d'un modèle de développement durable respectueux de l'environnement et des hommes est devenue une préoccupation majeure de la communauté mondiale. La question de l'intégration des principes du développement durable dans les politiques d'urbanisme et d'aménagement fait désormais partie intégrante de l'organisation et du développement des villes face à leurs divers dysfonctionnements. La mise en oeuvre des politiques et des pratiques en urbanisme et en aménagement, nécessite des instruments de suivi et d'évaluation qui comprend un système d'indicateurs locaux pertinents (écologiques, sociaux et économiques) et représentatifs du développement durable ou la transversalité des échelles doit jouer un rôle essentiel dans les : relations verticales entre les différents acteurs : décideurs/population ; relations horizontales entre les échelles territoriales : bâti/rue/quartiers/ville/agglomération/région/pays/continent/globe ; relations temporelles entre les générations : actuelles et futures. L'ensemble de ces relations appelle un nouveau mode de réflexion, des réponses politiques et des pratiques intégrées dans l'urbanisme et l'aménagement qui favorise le développement durable des villes et des agglomérations du XXIe siècle.
Download or read book French Mediterraneans written by Patricia M. E. Lorcin and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2016-05 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Mediterranean is often considered a distinct, unified space, recent scholarship on the early modern history of the sea has suggested that this perspective is essentially a Western one, devised from the vantage point of imperial power that historically patrolled the region's seas and controlled its ports. By contrast, for the peoples of its southern shores, the Mediterranean was polymorphous, shifting with the economic and seafaring exigencies of the moment. Nonetheless, by the nineteenth century the idea of a monolithic Mediterranean had either been absorbed by or imposed on the populations of the region. In French Mediterraneans editors Patricia M. E. Lorcin and Todd Shepard offer a collection of scholarship that reveals the important French element in the nineteenth- and twentieth-century creation of the singular Mediterranean. These essays provide a critical study of space and movement through new approaches to think about the maps, migrations, and margins of the sea in the French imperial and transnational context. By reconceptualizing the Mediterranean, this volume illuminates the diversity of connections between places and polities that rarely fit models of nation-state allegiances or preordained geographies.
Download or read book Making Space for the River written by Jeroen Frank Warner and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines recent developments in river (flood) management from the viewpoint of Making Space for the River and the resulting challenges for water governance. Different examples from Europe and the United States of America are discussed that aim to ‘green’ rivers, including increasing river discharge for flood management, enhancing natural and landscape values, promoting local or regional economic development, and urban regeneration. Making Space for the River presents not only opportunities and synergies but also risks as it crosses established institutional boundaries and touches on multiple stakeholder interests, which can easily clash. Making Space for the River helps the reader to understand the policy and governance dynamics that lead to these tensions and pays attention to a variety of attempts to organize effective and legitimate governance approaches. The book helps to realize connections between policy domains, problem frames, and goals of different actors at different levels that contribute to decisive and legitimate action. Making Space for the River has an international comparative character that sheds light upon both the country-specific governance dilemmas which relate to specific state traditions and institutional characteristics of national water management, but also uncovers interesting similarities which provide us with building blocks to formulate more generic lessons about the governance of Making Space for the River in different institutional and social contexts. The authors of this book come from a variety of disciplines including public administration, town and country planning, geography and anthropology, and these different disciplines bring multiple ways of knowing and understanding of Making Space for the River programs. The book combines interdisciplinary scientific analyses of Space for the River projects and programs with practical knowing and lessons-drawing. Making Space for the River is written for both practitioners and scholars and students of environmental policy, spatial planning, land use and water management.

Arwin van Buuren, Associate Professor of Public Administration, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'urbanisation planétaire à l'oeuvre transforme profondément les relations des hommes avec la nature : elle en vient à environner l'environnement, avec ses autoroutes, ses centres commerciaux, son habitat épars, ses parcs de loisirs, ses stations de sports d'hiver et ses marinas de bord de mer... Bien sûr, il reste des forêts, de hautes montagnes, des parcs naturels, des champs cultivés, mais ces espaces ne sont guère épargnés, puisqu'ils sont devenus des destinations touristiques, des enjeux fonciers, des dépendances urbaines et parfois des décharges... Qu'appelle-t-on " environnement " à l'heure de l'urbanisation généralisée ? Les urbains y trouvent-ils les éléments constitutifs d'un " mi-lieu " habitable ? Répondre à ces questions cruciales nécessite de mobiliser des savoirs et des pratiques professionnelles divers. D'où cet ouvrage polyphonique, réunissant des auteurs d'horizons différents, tous convaincus que l'urbanisation n'est pas en soi à diaboliser mais à penser à partir d'une philosophie de l'environnement renouvelée. Celle-ci doit questionner toutes les " perturbations " que cette urbanisation sans précédent provoque et reconsidérer certains de ses outils. La constitution de plusieurs " milieux urbains " bouscule les anciennes relations ville/campagne et humain/nature et impose un " arrêt " sur la philosophie de l'environnement afin, à la fois, d'en prendre la mesure et de l'analyser.

This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, there have been dramatic improvements in the understanding and research of environmental design. Numerous methods have been developed to enhance architectural design in order for it to be more energy efficient, sustainable and health enhancing. This book presents several theories and techniques that can be used to improve how buildings are engineered and designed in order to utilize more sustainable construction methods while promoting the health of the building's occupants. Contributions to the study of environmental design have come from a diversity of fields including applied mathematics, optimization, computer science, medical research, psychology, management science, architecture, and engineering. The techniques developed in these areas of research can be used to increase building performance, occupant satisfaction, productivity, and well being, and reducing the incidence of health conditions and chronic diseases related to the use of a designed space. This book provides architectural practitioners, civil engineers as well as other interdisciplinary researchers with the techniques needed to design, implement, and test for sustainability and health promotion in new or existing structures.
