Download or read book Merging City Nature written by Batlleiroig and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-03-08 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After 40 years of professional experience developed in three areas of work —City-Territory, Landscape-Public Space and Building—, Batlle i Roig acquires a new commitment and positions itself in the face of the climate emergency, generating a sustainability matrix through which to contextualize your urban projects and urban strategies. At Batlleiroig we have been talking about Landscape and Nature since our foundation in 1981. We are committed to the environment and involved in finding solutions to solve the climate emergency. The motto “Merging City and Nature” serves to bring together our improvement commitments in each of the actions we carry out. We work in three different disciplines: Urbanism, Landscaping and Architecture, trying to be very specialists in each of them but from the essential transversality that is required to develop any intervention. The climate emergency becomes today our main transversality, the one that should guide our actions.

Download or read book Biophilic Cities written by Timothy Beatley and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tim Beatley has long been a leader in advocating for the "greening" of cities. But too often, he notes, urban greening efforts focus on everything except nature, emphasizing such elements as public transit, renewable energy production, and energy efficient building systems. While these are important aspects of reimagining urban living, they are not enough, says Beatley. We must remember that human beings have an innate need to connect with the natural world (the biophilia hypothesis). And any vision of a sustainable urban future must place its focus squarely on nature, on the presence, conservation, and celebration of the actual green features and natural life forms. A biophilic city is more than simply a biodiverse city, says Beatley. It is a place that learns from nature and emulates natural systems, incorporates natural forms and images into its buildings and cityscapes, and designs and plans in conjunction with nature. A biophilic city cherishes the natural features that already exist but also works to restore and repair what has been lost or degraded. In Biophilic Cities Beatley not only outlines the essential elements of a biophilic city, but provides examples and stories about cities that have successfully integrated biophilic elements--from the building to the regional level--around the world. From urban ecological networks and connected systems of urban greenspace, to green rooftops and green walls and sidewalk gardens, Beatley reviews the emerging practice of biophilic urban design and planning, and tells many compelling stories of individuals and groups working hard to transform cities from grey and lifeless to green and biodiverse.

Download or read book Sustainability in Contemporary Rural Japan written by Stephanie Assmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural communities in Japan have suffered from significant depopulation and economic downturn in post-war years. Low birth rates, aging populations, agricultural decline and youth migration to large cities have been compounded by the triple disaster of 11 March 2011, which destroyed farming and fishing communities and left thousands of people homeless. This book identifies these challenges and acknowledges that an era of post-growth has arrived in Japan. Through exploring new forms of regional employment, community empowerment, and reverse migration, the authors address potential opportunities and benefits that may help to create and ensure the quality of life in depopulating areas and post-disaster scenarios. This book will be of interest not only to students of Japanese society, but also to those outside of Japan who are seeking new approaches for tackling depopulation challenges.

Download or read book Agency Merger and Bureaucratic Redesign written by Karen M. Hult and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 2010-11-23 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the expansion of public programs in the 1960s, charges of bureaucratic inefficiency, unresponsiveness, and "red tape" have been rampant. The response has often been extensive reorganization in an effort to change the source of control, carry out specific missions, and to achieve greater inter-agency cooperation. Karen M. Hult examines why these restructurings often fail, through three case studies: the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Design (HUD); the Minnesota Department of Energy, Planning, and Development; and the Minneapolis Community Development Agency. Hult's study assesses the usefulness of mergers and reorganizations as a policy tool, and offers a valuable contribution to the study of public management and organization design.
