This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 814 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nivel global, ciudades buscan desarrollar soluciones de transporte asequibles, ecológicas y socialmente responsables que puedan satisfacer las necesidades de conectividad de las crecientes poblaciones metropolitanas y respaldar el futuro desarrollo económico y urbano. Cuando los sistemas ferroviarios urbanos se planifican e implementan adecuadamente como parte de una red de transporte público más amplia, éstis pueden brindar vías rápidas de movilidad y acceso vital a los centros urbanos desde la periferias. Los servicios ferroviarios urbanos de alto rendimiento, cuando se abordan cuidadosamente en el contexto de un proyecto de desarrollo, pueden ayudar a mejorar la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos brindándoles acceso a oportunidades laborales y servicios esenciales, tanto del entorno urbano inmediato como de comunidades vecinas. Este manual sintetiza y difunde conocimientos sobre planificación, implementación y operación de los proyectos ferroviarios urbanos para: i) destacar la necesidad de realizar estudios tempranos y planificar los proyectos, ii) contribuir a que los proyectos sean más sostenibles (desde el punto de vista económico, social y ambiental); iii) mejorar los beneficios socioeconómicos de los usuarios y el acceso de estos a distintas oportunidades; iv) maximizar el valor de la participación privada, cuando corresponda, y v) fortalecer la capacidad de las instituciones encargadas de la gestión e implementación de los proyectos. Se ofrece experiencia para lidiar con los desafíos técnicos, institucionales y financieros a los que se enfrentan los tomadores de decisiones de proyectos ferroviarios urbanos. Se reúnen los conocimientos especializados del personal del Banco Mundial y el aporte de numerosos especialistas para sintetizar buenas prácticas y recomendaciones basadas en experiencia global que no responden a intereses comerciales, financieros ni políticos, entre otros. El material presentado tiene como objetivo servir de guía imparcial para maximizar el impacto y afrontar los desafíos que conllevan los sistemas ferroviarios urbanos en las ciudades de países desarrollados y en desarrollo. No se brinda un enfoque único, sino que se reconocen las complejidades y los distintos contextos existentes cuando se aborda un proyecto de desarrollo ferroviario urbano; de ese modo, se apoya a las autoridades a prepararse para formular las preguntas adecuadas, analizar las cuestiones clave, llevar a cabo los estudios necesarios, aplicar las herramientas apropiadas y aprender de las buenas prácticas internacionales, todo ello en el oportuno momento del proceso de desarrollo del proyecto.

Download or read book Funding Community Initiatives written by Silvina Arrossi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite four decades of development planning, at least one third of the urban population of Africa, Asia and Latin America remains poor. Over 600 million live in 'life and health threatening' homes and neighbourhoods because of poor housing and inadequate or no piped water, sanitation and health care. But even as the shortcomings of government and development programmes become more apparent, so do the untapped abilities of low-income groups and their community organizations to develop their own solutions. This book analyses the conditions necessary for successful community initiatives and includes case studies of 18 intermediary institutions (most of them Third World NGOs) who provide technical, legal and financial services to low-income households for constructing or improving housing. Many also work with community organizations in improving water, sanitation, drainage, health care and other community services. Through the analysis of innovative financial systems for income generation, house construction and service provision, Funding Community Initiatives considers the feasibility of loans for addressing current urban housing problems. It also considers how to increase greatly the scale and effectiveness of support going to low-income households and community organizations. This book will be of interest to students and professionals concerned with urban development in Africa, Asia and Latin America, especially those concerned with low income shelter and community finance.
Download or read book Landscape dimensions written by Council of Europe and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a key element of individual and social well-being and quality of life, landscape plays an important part in human fulfilment and in reinforcement of European identity. Adopted under the auspices of the Council of Europe, the European Landscape Convention aims to promote the protection, management and planning of landscapes, and to organise international co-operation in this field. It applies to the entire territory of the contracting parties and covers natural, rural, urban and peri-urban areas. It concerns landscapes considered outstanding, as well as everyday or degraded areas. Certain “dimensions” of the landscape are presented in this publication, which addresses key issues for its future, including democracy, education, economy, leisure and advertising. Landscape management processes – and even the term “landscape” itself – are also analysed. This book forms part of a process of reflection on the major themes concerning the living environment.
Download or read book Agriculture in the City written by María Caridad Cruz and published by IDRC. This book was released on 2003 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s, several national economies saw their urban food markets collapse. Like Zambia, Mozambique, and Armenia, Cuba responded to this crisis with a food program that included support to urban agriculture: farming in the city. As a result, food prices are increasing, free markets have been reinstated, production cooperatives have been linked with markets, land has been redistributed, and areas under export crops have been converted to domestic food crops. The Cuban government is now calling upon its cities to become more self-reliant for food OCo a focus that is dramatically modifying the landscape, lifestyle, and food supply of Havana residents."

Download or read book Manual para la Direcci n de Proyectos written by Antonio Nieto-Rodríguez and published by Profit Editorial. This book was released on 2023-04-01 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Manual para la Dirección de Proyectos analizamos como cada día va en aumento la cantidad de nuevos proyectos, por lo que las habilidades de gestión de ellos se han vuelto esenciales para todos los líderes y directivos. No obstante, el fracaso de estas iniciativas sigue siendo extremadamente alto. ¿Por qué? Los líderes supervisan demasiados proyectos y tienen muy poca visibilidad sobre ellos. Los directivos trasladan así su conocimiento técnico a la alta dirección. ¿El resultado? La mayoría de proyectos valiosos carecen de tiempo y recursos y, además, no generan beneficios, mientras que demasiada inversión se destina a proyectos equivocados. Para competir en la gestión de proyectos, se debe cerrar esta brecha. Manual para la dirección de proyectos muestra cómo hacerlo, a partir de: ▶ Una taxonomía definitiva de los tipos de proyectos, desde el lanzamiento de productos hasta las transformaciones digitales. ▶ Una hoja de ruta para convertirse en un líder de proyecto y un eficaz director ejecutivo. ▶ Un marco de trabajo nuevo, sencillo y universal, el «Lienzo de Proyectos», que desglosa cualquier proyecto en bloques esenciales de fácil comprensión. ▶ Conceptos originales y estudios de casos exclusivos de organizaciones del sector público y privado de todo el mundo. ▶ Cuándo utilizar métodos ágiles, tradicionales o híbridos en sus proyectos. ▶ Los doce principios de los proyectos exitosos, incluyendo el propósito, la agilidad y el enfoque en los resultados. ▶ Cómo los proyectos actuales ayudarán a abordar algunas de las tendencias globales más apremiantes, como la automatización, la sostenibilidad, la diversidad y la gestión de crisis. ▶ Estudios de casos de diferentes sectores a nivel mundial.
