Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including papers presented at the 11th International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability held in Alicante, Spain, this book addresses the multidisciplinary aspects of urban planning; a result of the increasing size of cities, the amount of resources and services required and the complexity of modern society. Most of the earth’s population live in cities and the process of urbanisation continues generating problems originating from the drift of the population towards them. These problems can be resolved by cities becoming efficient habitats, saving resources in a way that improves the standard of living. The process faces a number of challenges related to reducing pollution, improving main transportation and infrastructure systems and these challenges can contribute to the development of social and economic imbalances and require the development of new solutions. Large cities are probably the most complex mechanisms to manage, nevertheless they represent a productive ground for architects, engineers, city planners, social and political scientists able to conceive new ideas and time them according to technological advances and human requirements. The papers in this book cover such topics as: Appropriate technologies for smart cities; Architectural issues; Case studies - sustainable practices; Cultural quarters and interventions; Disaster and emergency response; Eco-town planning; Environmental management; Landscape planning and design; Planning for resilience; Quality of life; Socio-economic and political considerations; Pedestrians behaviour in different situation of traffic, modelling and safety; Sustainable urban regeneration and public space; City and beach; Sustainability and the built environment; Sustainable energy and the city; The community and the city; Transportation; Urban conservation and regeneration; Urban development and management; Urban infrastructure; Urban metabolism; Urban planning and design; Urban safety and security; Urban strategies; Waterfront development.

Download or read book Paesaggi fatti a mano written by Fausta Occhipinti and published by LetteraVentidue Edizioni. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'autrice ci mette davanti ad un cambiamento del comportamento nel rapporto dell'umanità nei confronti delle problematiche della pianificazione. […] Certo gli umani sono capaci di fare un paesaggio a mano, potrebbe addirittura essere una delle più belle maniere di agire sul territorio. (dalla presentazione di Gilles Clément) Fausta Occhipinti con “Paesaggi fatti a mano” ci propone un tema ambizioso, una sistematica revisione dei metodi e degli strumenti dello studio del paesaggio nell’università italiana, partendo dall’intuizione che sia necessario introdurre una sperimentazione applicata in costante confronto con i corsi teorici, e questo nel momento più recessivo della nostra storia recente, mentre il nostro Paese sta meticolosamente disinvestendo sul paesaggio, revocando anche quel poco che si era fatto, in particolare nelle scuole di architettura. (dalla presentazione di Franco Zagari) Come si diventa paesaggisti? Come si insegna il progetto di paesaggio? Questo ebook indaga il ruolo strategico della didattica di terreno nelle scuole di architettura del paesaggio in Europa. La ricerca mette in luce la relazione tra la formazione del paesaggista e il suo riconoscimento istituzionale in diversi contesti europei, con particolare riferimento a quello italiano e francese. Ne emerge che la scuola del paesaggio ideale dovrebbe intensificare l’interdisciplinarità applicata a casi reali, sperimentando sul campo, e orientare il progetto verso una committenza reale, migliorando il rapporto tra scuola e istituzioni, mondo professionale e società.

Download or read book Protest and Resistance in the Tourist City written by Claire Colomb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the globe, from established tourist destinations such as Venice or Prague to less traditional destinations in both the global North and South, there is mounting evidence that points to an increasing politicization of the topic of urban tourism. In some cities, residents and other stakeholders take issue with the growth of tourism as such, as well as the negative impacts it has on their cities; while in others, particular forms and effects of tourism are contested or deplored. In numerous settings, contestations revolve less around tourism itself than around broader processes, policies and forces of urban change perceived to threaten the right to ‘stay put’, the quality of life or identity of existing urban populations. This book for the first time looks at urban tourism as a source of contention and dispute and analyses what type of conflicts and contestations have emerged around urban tourism in 16 cities across Europe, North America, South America and Asia. It explores the various ways in which community groups, residents and other actors have responded to – and challenged – tourism development in an international and multi-disciplinary perspective. The title links the largely discrete yet interconnected disciplines of ‘urban studies’ and ‘tourism studies’ and draws on approaches and debates from urban sociology; urban policy and politics; urban geography; urban anthropology; cultural studies; urban design and planning; tourism studies and tourism management. This ground breaking volume offers new insight into the conflicts and struggles generated by urban tourism and will be of interest to students, researchers and academics from the fields of tourism, geography, planning, urban studies, development studies, anthropology, politics and sociology.

Download or read book La citt storica come opportunit Recupero urbano e nuovi modelli di sviluppo in America Latina written by Emanuela De Menna and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il volume raccoglie riflessioni sul tema del recupero della città storica sviluppate a partire da due seminari svolti in Cile e in Uruguay. L'obiettivo è di proporre ragionamenti che siano utili sia per la realtà europea che per quella latinoamericana. Ragionare di recupero urbano oggi vuole sostanzialmente dire pensare e ripensare l'intera sfera dello sviluppo urbano, delle politiche pubbliche e delle logiche di azione di cui queste politiche si fanno portatrici. I casi di recupero di manufatti, brani di città o interi centri storici sono in continua crescita in America Latina e, in forma diversa, non si sono mai fermati in Italia. Il ritorno di interesse verso la città costruita, sia per fattori endogeni, sia per fattori esogeni, sembra dunque connotare lo scenario odierno nelle città e indirizzarne l'evoluzione degli approcci di governo.

Download or read book La ricerca tra innovazione creativit e progetto written by Roberto Bolici and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current socio-cultural scenario, the implementation of the university reform aimed at boosting third-level education calls for meditation within the discipline of Architectural Technology (ICAR 12). This review must address the research topics and academic profiles of PhD courses in the Technological Area, also in terms of fostering actions consistent with European strategic lines for the promotion of a knowledge society. Research, innovation, creativity and design are the keywords of this scenario that PhD students and lecturers must bear in mind when considering three fields of study: environmental design and landscape, building production and construction and works and services strategic for the community. This book "Research among innovation, creativity and design" develops the topics addressed during the VII OSDOTTA workshop (the network of PhD courses in the field of Architectural Technology) held at the Mantua campus of Milan Polytechnic on 15th-16th-17th September 2011.
