Download or read book D veloppement durable et renouvellement urbain written by Catherine Charlot-Valdieu and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2006 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les difficultés rencontrées dans les banlieues en France à l'automne 2005 ont souligné à quel point il est difficile de résoudre les problèmes de ces quartiers malgré les efforts financiers réalisés depuis des années, voire des décennies. Par ailleurs de nombreuses tendances non durables au niveau européen ou international montrent qu'il est urgent de réagir à tous les niveaux de décision ainsi que dans les différentes structures. Il faut changer nos modes de pensée et d'action. Aujourd'hui, la création ou la rénovation d'un quartier nécessite de nouvelles méthodes permettant d'affronter les enjeux urbains : pollution, détérioration de la qualité de vie, insécurité, gaspillage des ressources et du temps, etc. Les auteurs proposent d'intégrer des démarches de développement durable dans les projets de renouvellement de nos quartiers et présentent différents outils opérationnels qui sont aujourd'hui à la disposition des professionnels. La démarche présentée est constituée de différents outils concernant l'analyse des problèmes, l'évaluation des solutions ou du projet envisagé pour le quartier, les méthodes de participation habitante, l'élaboration du programme d'actions et des cahiers des charges. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux décideurs en charge des problèmes urbains (élus et services des collectivités locales et territoriales, bailleurs sociaux) et à leurs partenaires : aménageurs, services déconcentrés de l'Etat, établissements publics fonciers, associations... afin de les aider dans leurs projets de renouvellement urbain, leur projet de territoire ou de quartier, pour améliorer la qualité de vie des habitants et usagers.
Download or read book Projet de renouvellement urbain politique de peuplement et mixit sociale written by Marianne Thiery and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La mixité sociale est depuis la loi de programmation pour la ville et la rénovation urbaine de 2003 le maître-mot des projets de renouvellement urbain. Ce rapport s'attachera à mesurer, par l'analyse de deux territoires d'étude, comment, au travers des projets de renouvellement urbain menés dans les quartiers prioritaires de la politique de la ville, les collectivités territoriales appréhendent l'enjeu de mixité sociale. Quels sont les moyens et les outils dont se saisissent les intercommunalités pour diluer ces poches de pauvreté installées dans les zones urbaines ? Et plus simplement, il réinterrogera dans quelles mesures les projets de renouvellement urbain concourent-ils à la stratégie de répartition spatiale du logement social et à la mixité sociale dans l'habitat à l'échelle intercommunale ? Et comment un projet de quartier devient-il un projet d'agglomération ?

Download or read book Disaster Hits Home written by Mary C. Comerio and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whenever a major earthquake strikes or a hurricane unleashes its fury, the devastating results fill our television screens and newspapers. Mary C. Comerio is interested in what happens in the weeks and months after such disasters, particularly in the recovery of damaged housing. Through case studies of six recent urban disasters—Hurricane Hugo in South Carolina, Hurricane Andrew in Florida, the Loma Prieta and Northridge earthquakes in California, as well as earthquakes in Mexico City and Kobe, Japan—Comerio demonstrates that several fundamental factors have changed in contemporary urban disasters. The foremost change is in scale, and as more Americans move to the two coasts, future losses will continue to be formidable because of increased development in these high-hazard areas. Moreover, the visibility of disasters in the news media will assure that response efforts remain highly politicized. And finally, the federal government is now expected to be on the scene with personnel, programs, and financial assistance even as private insurance companies are withdrawing disaster coverage from homeowners in earthquake- and hurricane-prone regions. Demonstrating ways that existing recovery systems are inadequate, Comerio proposes a rethinking of what recovery means, a comprehensive revision of the government's role, and more equitable programs for construction financing. She offers new criteria for a housing recovery policy as well as real financial incentives for preparedness, for limiting damage before disasters occur, and for providing a climate where private insurance can work. Her careful analysis makes this book important reading for policymakers, property owners, and anyone involved in disaster mitigation.

Download or read book Introduction to Classical Chinese Philosophy written by Bryan W. Van Norden and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03-04 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction in the very best sense of the word. It provides the beginner with an accurate, sophisticated, yet accessible account, and offers new insights and challenging perspectives to those who have more specialized knowledge. Focusing on the period in Chinese philosophy that is surely most easily approachable and perhaps is most important, it ranges over of rich set of competing options. It also, with admirable self-consciousness, presents a number of daring attempts to relate those options to philosophical figures and movements from the West. I recommend it very highly.--Lee H. Yearley, Walter Y. Evans-Wentz Professor, Religious Studies, Stanford University

Download or read book Sojourners in a Strange Land written by Florence C. Hsia and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-04-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though Jesuits assumed a variety of roles as missionaries in late imperial China, their most memorable guise was that of scientific expert, whose maps, clocks, astrolabes, and armillaries reportedly astonished the Chinese. But the icon of the missionary-scientist is itself a complex myth. Masterfully correcting the standard story of China Jesuits as simple conduits for Western science, Florence C. Hsia shows how these missionary-scientists remade themselves as they negotiated the place of the profane sciences in a religious enterprise. Sojourners in a Strange Land develops a genealogy of Jesuit conceptions of scientific life within the Chinese mission field from the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries. Analyzing the printed record of their endeavors in natural philosophy and mathematics, Hsia identifies three models of the missionary man of science by their genres of writing: mission history, travelogue, and academic collection. Drawing on the history of early modern Europe’s scientific, religious, and print culture, she uses the elaboration and reception of these scientific personae to construct the first collective biography of the Jesuit missionary-scientist’s many incarnations in late imperial China.
Download or read book A Question of Rites written by J. S. Cummins and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were wide repercussions: politics, national and ecclesiastical, even the history of science were involved. Professor Cummins retells the story from a deliberately 'dissident' viewpoint. Till now the account has been largely that of the Jesuits; his focus is the Spanish Dominican, Domingo Navarrete (1618-86), who emerged as the spokesman for the friars' cause. Not a scholar or scientist of the calibre of Matteo Ricci or other Jesuit 'geometers' in Peking, Navarrete nonetheless fully merits attention as a perceptive and frank observer of a passionate and complex scene. His major work, the Tratados, was widely read, admired by the likes of Quesnay and Locke, and served as a key source of European knowledge about China. The first chapters of the present book set out the background: the rise of the Dominicans and the Jesuits, their differing philosophies, and their conflicts in Europe and America.
