Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adoptée à Florence (Italie) le 20 octobre 2000, la convention du Conseil de l'Europe sur le paysage a pour objet de promouvoir la protection, la gestion et l'aménagement des paysages européens, et d'organiser la coopération européenne dans ce domaine. Elle est le premier traité international englobant le paysage européen sous tous ses aspects. Elle s'applique à tout le territoire des Parties contractantes et porte sur les espaces naturels, ruraux, urbains et périurbains. Elle concerne donc de la même façon les paysages pouvant être considérés comme remarquables, ordinaires ou dégradés. La convention représente une importante contribution à la mise en œuvre des objectifs du Conseil de l'Europe, qui sont de promouvoir la démocratie, les droits de l'homme et la prééminence du droit, ainsi que de trouver des solutions communes aux grands problèmes sociétaux de l'Europe. En prenant en compte les richesses paysagères, naturelles et culturelles, le Conseil de l'Europe cherche à préserver la qualité de vie et le bien-être des Européens dans une perspective de développement durable.

Download or read book Sustainable Intercultural Urbanism at the Service of the African City of Tomorrow written by Esoh Elamé and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most African cities are human settlements that lack the systems needed for effective land use planning. In fact, the disorganization that prevails has become so complex that the concept of urbanism itself has been called into question. This book highlights the need to restore urban planning in African cities through sustainable development and interculturality. Furthermore, it addresses the balance of power between urban planning and sustainable development and explores the historical and postcolonial aspects of urban planning in African cities. A case study focusing on the development of sustainable cities and neighborhoods in the M'Zab Valley is also included, as well as topics such as urban greening, climatic threats and the problem of state agro-industrial land transactions, which compete with sustainable urban planning. Sustainable Intercultural Urbanism at the Service of the African City of Tomorrow is a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners interested in urban issues in African cities. These cities, in particular sub Saharan cities, have long been excluded from any discourse on sustainable cities and urban planning; this book places the focus on these cities and acknowledges their varied urban realities. The intention is to spark a new debate on sustainable urban planning in African cities based on intercultural sustainable urbanism, which is key to thinking about and building ecological, intercultural, compact, intelligent and postcolonial cities.

This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'aménagement du territoire joue un rôle important dans le renforcement des relations intersectorielles. Mais, la diversité de l'environnement, des valeurs culturelles, et des caractéristiques nationales et ethniques est un atout majeur en Europe qu'il convient de préserver et de mettre en valeur dans le contexte de la mondialisation. Il est tout aussi important de réduire les disparités entre pays, régions et communes d'Europe en matière de qualité de vie, de perspectives économiques, de prospérité et de niveau de développement. La question de l'accès aux services essentiels - accès à l'eau potable, assainissement des eaux usées, collecte et traitement des déchets, transport public, construction durable - dans ce contexte prend ici toute son importance. Ouvrage en anglais et en français.
Download or read book L urbanisme durable written by Catherine Charlot-Valdieu and published by Le Moniteur Editions. This book was released on 2011 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aujourd'hui que le constat de la responsabilité humaine sur le changement climatique est largement partagé, et au lendemain du Grenelle de l'Environnement, se fait sentir le besoin de plus en plus aigu de mettre en place des stratégies d'aménagement du territoire et d'intégrer tous les enjeux du développement durable dans les projets urbains. Après avoir rappelé brièvement le cadre de référence, national et européen, et décrit différentes démarches de développement urbain durable, cet ouvrage analyse un certain nombre de projets d'aménagement et de renouvellement urbain à l'aide d'exemples d'opérations de référence réalisées à l'étranger (Vancouver au Canada, Malmö en Suède, Bristol et Bedzed en Grande-Bretagne, Barcelone en Espagne) ou en France (Rennes, Nantes). Les auteurs proposent une méthodologie pour mettre en oeuvre des démarches de développement durable aux différentes échelles de territoire, du bâtiment jusqu'à la ville, en passant par le lotissement, le quartier ou le secteur. Ils dressent un panorama thématique des bonnes pratiques: gestion du sol, aménagement des espaces publics, gestion de l'eau et des déchets, énergie, déplacements, etc., qui sont essentielles à la conception d'un écoquartier. Ce livre cherche donc à donner des outils à la fois conceptuels, méthodologiques et opérationnels aux professionnels de l'urbanisme. Son approche pragmatique devrait aider tous ceux qui ont la volonté de mettre en oeuvre une démarche de développement durable dans leurs projets urbains à passer des bonnes pratiques à de véritables stratégies territoriales et patrimoniales. Cette 2e édition prend en compte les lois Grenelle 1 et 2, leur impact sur les différents documents d'urbanisme réglementaire et les changements qu'elles impliquent à l'échelle des projets d'aménagement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book is focused on the intersection between urban brownfields and the sustainability transitions of metreopolitan areas, cities and neighbourhoods. It provides both a theoretical and practical approach to the topic, offering a thorough introduction to urban brownfields and regeneration projects as well as an operational monitoring tool. Neighbourhoods in Transition begins with an overview of historic urban development and strategic areas in the hearts of towns to be developed. It then defines several key issues related to the topic, including urban brownfields, regeneration projects, and sustainability issues related to neighbourhood development. The second part of this book is focused on support tools, explaining the challenges faced, the steps involved in a regeneration process, and offering an operational monitoring tool. It applies the unique tool to case studies in three selected neighbourhoods and the outcomes of one case study are also presented and discussed, highlighting its benefits. The audience for this book will be both professional and academic. It will support researchers as an up-to-date reference book on urban brownfield regeneration projects, and also the work of architects, urban designers, urban planners and engineers involved in sustainability transitions of the built environment.
Download or read book Development and Territorial Restructuring in an Era of Global Change written by Elisabeth Peyroux and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking about development and the environment simultaneously is one of the biggest scientific and societal challenges of the 21st century. Understanding the interactions between biophysical systems and human activities in an era of global change requires overcoming disciplinary divides and opening up new epistemological perspectives. This book explores these challenges using a territorial lens. Combining various scales of analyses (from global to local) and contexts (both urban and rural) in the North and in the South, it analyzes the relationships between environment and development through a variety of geographical objects (i.e. cities, rural and agricultural areas, coastlines, watershed), themes (i.e. ecological transitions, food, energy, transport, agriculture, mining activities) and methodologies (i.e. qualitative and quantitative approaches, modeling, in situ measurements). By engaging in a dialogue between social science and natural science disciplines, within different fields and with a variety of forms of knowledge production, this book provides essential information for understanding and reading the complexity of a globalized world. This book is targeted at academics and students in social sciences and at stakeholders in the field of territorial and environmental management.

Download or read book Debating the Neoliberal City written by Gilles Pinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the neoliberal city has become a key structuring analytical framework in the field of urban studies. It explains both the ongoing transformation of urban policies and the socio-spatial effects of these policies within cities and highlights the prominent role of cities in the new geography of capitalism. Bringing together a team of leading scholars, this book challenges the neoliberal city thesis. It argues that the definition of neoliberalization may be more complex than it seems, resulting in over-simplified explanations of some processes, such as the rise of metropolitan governments or the importance given to urban economic development policies or gentrification. As a structuralist and macro-level theory, the "neoliberal city" does not shed light upon micro-level processes or identify and analyze actors’ logics and practices. Finally, the concept is profoundly influenced by the historical trajectories of the United Kingdom and the United States, and the generalization of this experience to other contexts often leads to a kind of academic ethnocentrism. This book argues that, on its own, the current conceptualizations of neoliberalization are insufficient. Instead, it should be analyzed alongside other transformative processes in order to provide an analytical framework to explain the variety of processes of change, motivations and justifications too easily labelled as urban neoliberalism. This unique and critical contribution will be essential reading for students and scholars alike working in Human Geography, Urban Studies, Economics, Sociology and Public Policy.

Download or read book Green Neighbourhoods and Eco gentrification written by Elise Machline and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-25 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This SpringerBrief brings together a series of studies that delve into the details of French and Israeli green building practices and tell a tale of two countries which deviates considerably from what first impressions might suggest. In-depth data analysis, interviews with stakeholders, and on-the-ground documentation are used to paint a portrait of green neighborhoods in both large and small cities, and to shed light on the diversity of outcomes and the intricate web of interests leading to each one. In the Israeli cases, these dynamics reflect the fact that the private sector has become increasingly dominant in the residential building field, following a decades-long process in which the welfare state has shrunk, and the government has distanced itself from large social programs.The French solution to this dilemma is to mandate the inclusion of subsidized housing within its ecoquartiers, with the declared aim of promoting a diverse 'social mix' of population. Green building has yet to prove itself as a solution for the masses. The sale price of an apartment in a certified green building is significantly higher than what would be justified by either the additional construction costs required to build it, or the energy and water saving potential that can be realized by using it. The tale of two countries presented here suggests that neither the mechanisms of the market nor the proclamations of a welfare state can easily overcome this dilemma. What is needed is a new type of thinking, which can only emerge once the concept of "value" reflects not only the realities of a free-market economy, but also those of a planet which turns out to be distinctly limited in its resources.
