Download or read book Urban Transformations written by Sigrun Kabisch and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses urban transformations towards sustainability in light of challenges of global urbanization processes and the consequences of global environmental change. The aim is to show that urban transformations only succeed if both innovative scientific solutions and practice-oriented governance approaches are developed. This assumption is addressed by providing theoretical insights and empirical evidence pointing particularly at 3 concepts or qualities which are determined here as being central for achieving urban sustainability: resource efficiency, quality of life and resilience. Urban case studies from several international research projects illustrate our conceptual approach of urban transformations towards sustainable development. Thus, the book reaches far beyond a mere additive description of single case studies. It incorporates the results of condensed synthesis, resulting from comparisons and evaluations. It provides, based on cross-cutting reflection of single cases and different scales and methods of analysis, general and transferable findings. They do not only consider the scientific sphere but deliberately go beyond it discussing transferability of knowledge into practice, governance options and the feasibility of policy strategies in order to pave the way for sustainable urban transformations to happen today and in the future.

Download or read book The Quality of the Urban Environment written by Harvey S. Perloff and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-03 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of the environment in which people live, work, and play influences to no small degree the quality of life itself. The environment can be satisfying and attractive and provide scope for individual development or it can be poisonous, irritating and stunting. The papers in this volume, first published in 1969, are concerned with the urban environment – in which the majority of Americans live – or, more accurately, with the environment of urbanites, for the concern extends to outlying areas where urban dwellers visit and play. The chapters aim to provide a better understanding of the natural resource elements in the urban environment, and will be of interest to students of environmental studies and human geography.

Download or read book Balanced Urban Development Options and Strategies for Liveable Cities written by Basant Maheshwari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unique synthesis of concepts and tools to examine natural resource, socio-economic, legal, policy and institutional issues that are important for managing urban growth into the future. The book will particularly help the reader to understand the current issues and challenges and develop strategies and practices to cope with future pressures of urbanisation and peri-urban land, water and energy use challenges. In particular, the book will help the reader to discover underlying principles for the planning of future cities and peri-urban regions in relation to: (i) Balanced urban development policies and institutions for future cities; (ii) Understanding the effects of land use change, population increase, and water demand on the liveability of cities; (iii) Long-term planning needs and transdisciplinary approaches to ensure the secured future for generations ahead; and (iv) Strategies to adapt the cities and land, water and energy uses for viable and liveable cities. There are growing concerns about water, food security and sustainability with increased urbanisation worldwide. For cities to be liveable and sustainable into the future there is a need to maintain the natural resource base and the ecosystem services in the peri-urban areas surrounding cities. This need is increasing under the looming spectre of global warming and climate change. This book will be of interest to policy makers, urban planners, researchers, post-graduate students in urban planning, environmental and water resources management, and managers in municipal councils.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro plantea un tema que aún hoy es pionero en España, pues emprender una 'planificación verde' no significa sólo resolver el sistema de espacios verdes de una ciudad o territorio, sino una planificación que reconozca los valores y recursos naturales, ecológicos, ambientales y paisajísticos de la ciudad para preservarlos y mejorarlos - una nueva manera de enfocar el urbanismo para el siglo XXI.Constituye una guía metodológica fundamental, que va de lo conceptual a la praxis concreta, para completar un exhaustivo recorrido por todos los elementos y factores que quedan integrados en una planificación verde, incidiendo en la necesidad de adoptar una visión multidisciplinar. Las 150 figuras y tablas que se incluyen en el libro clarifican y acompañan los conceptos y las explicaciones que en él se exponen. El carácter multidisciplinar del libro hace que resulte imprescindible tanto para arquitectos, urbanistas, ingenieros, biólogos, etc., como para todas aquellas personas relacionadas con la planificación o interesadas en los temas de sostenibilidad y medio ambiente.
