Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the advent of renewed nonmetropolitan population growth, settlement patterns within America's more thinly settled areas have become more evenly distributed. Recent patterns of community growth outside metropolitan areas reflect the rising influence of the population dispersion process. What remains unclear, however, is the extent to which this shift in settlement patterns reflects a permanent realignment of the push and pull factors supporting population consolidation. While an increasing proportion of the population appears to be choosing to live in small communities, the fact that small communities are growing fastest in the most urbanized nonmetropolitan areas suggests that such behavior may represent less a repudiation of urbanization per se than an expressed distaste for life in large cities. As public opinion surveys have repeatedly shown, while Americans have an abiding distaste for life in large cities, their ideal residential community is not an isolated rural farm but rather a small, safe, and environmentally clean community within easy access of a large central city. Thus, the apparent emergence of settlement dispersion may simply be an inevitable byproduct of increasing affluence and technological improvements that have only recently permitted Americans to act upon long-held predispositions. Whether Americans can continue to realize this ideal in a period of rising energy costs and continued devaluation of the dollar remains to be seen.

Download or read book Planning Indian Megacity Regions written by S. K. Kulshrestha and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-17 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on spatial planning of megacities that are growing in Asia, Africa, and America. These cities are not be seen in isolation from their respective influence regions. They complement each other. Most of the solutions to the problems of such cities are found in their respective regions, and, on the other hand, the regions derive their strength from their respective megacities. There is a need for promoting integrated spatial planning of megacity regions. The five chapters in this book highlight the spatial planning of such regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The awareness of environment protection is a great achievement of humans; an expression of self-awareness. Even though the idea of living while protecting the environment is not new, it has never been so widely and deeply practiced by any nations in history like it is today. From the late 90s in the last century, the surprisingly fast dev
Download or read book Modeling and Simulating Urban Processes written by Andreas Koch and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban processes like segregation, migration, or economic transition take place at different temporal and spatial scales. Adequate modeling and simulation techniques are in great demand which consider bottom-up and top-down relationships equally. This volume presents approaches within the field of complexity theory, ranging from spatial-econometric models to geostatistical techniques and multi-agent system simulations, to analyze and visualize patterns of social organization, individual behavior, and spatial fabrics.
Download or read book Modeling Urban Dynamics written by Marius Thériault and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-04 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of Urban Dynamics itself is based on the systems engineering concept that all complex systems (and cities and urban areas are no exception) are comprised of independent and often smaller, more understandable sub-components with relationships to one another. This allows for the system as a whole to be modeled, using knowledge of the individual subsystems and their behaviors. In this instance, urban dynamics allows for the modeling and understanding of land use, the attractiveness of space to residents, and how the ageing and obsolescence of buildings affects planning and economic development, as well as population movements, with the urban landscape. The book adopts a trans-disciplinary approach that looks at the way residential mobility, commuting patterns, and travel behavior affect the urban form. It addresses a series of issues dealing with the accessibility of urban amenities, quality of life, and assessment of landscape residential choices, as well as measurement of external factors in the urban environment and their impact on property values.

Download or read book Peri urban futures Scenarios and models for land use change in Europe written by Kjell Nilsson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presently, peri-urbanisation is one of the most pervasive processes of land use change in Europe with strong impacts on both the environment and quality of life. It is a matter of great urgency to determine strategies and tools in support of sustainable development. The book synthesizes the results of PLUREL, a large European Commission funded research project (2007-2010). Tools and strategies of PLUREL address main challenges of managing land use in peri-urban areas. These results are presented and illustrated by means of 7 case studies which are at the core of the book. This volume presents a novel, future oriented approach to the planning and management of peri-urban areas with a main focus on scenarios and sustainability impact analysis. The research is unique in that it focuses on the future by linking quantitative scenario modeling and sustainability impact analysis with qualitative and in-depth analysis of regional strategies, as well as including a study at European level with case study work also involving a Chinese case study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to provide an overview of the concepts and methods used in fractal analysis and modeling in order to study the spatial distribution of human settlements. The main concepts and mathematical tools are reviewed, and emphasis is placed on the practical benefits of their application and the pitfalls to be avoided when using them. The first part of the book is devoted to the basic concepts and geometric reference figures required for fractal analysis in human geography. In the second part, the principles of four major families of analysis methods are explained in detail: fractal analyses of point sequences, fractal methods for morphological delineation of urban agglomerations, multifractal analyses and cross scale signatures. The third part of the book is devoted to applications of fractal geometry in urban and regional planning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the concept and practice of a smart metropolitan region, and how smart cities promote healthy economic and spatial development. It highlights how smart metropolitan regional development can energize, reorganize and transform the legacy economy into a smart economy; how it can help embrace Information and Communications Technology (ICT); and how it can foster a shared economy. In addition, it outlines how the five pillars of the third industrial revolution can be achieved by smart communities. In addition, the book draws on 16 in-depth city case studies from ten countries to explore the state of the art regarding the smart economy in smart cities – and to apply the lessons learned to shape smart metropolitan economic and spatial development.
