Book Vivienda en el desarrollo urbano

Download or read book Vivienda en el desarrollo urbano written by Patrick, Wakely and published by Editorial Tadeo Lozano. This book was released on 2021-06-25 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universalmente, la producción, el mantenimiento y la gestión de la vivienda han sido y siguen siendo actividades basadas en el mercado. Sin embargo, desde mediados del siglo xx prácticamente todos los gobiernos, socialistas y liberales por igual, han percibido la necesidad de intervenir en los mercados urbanos de vivienda para apoyar a los hogares de bajos ingresos a quienes se les niega el acceso al mercado inmobiliario establecido (sector privado) debido a su falta de recursos financieros. Vivienda en el desarrollo urbano examina la gama de políticas estratégicas alternativas que han sido empleadas por las agencias de vivienda estatales para este fin. Estas van desde la entrada del sector público en el mercado de la vivienda urbana a través de la construcción directa de “vivienda pública” (“convencional”) que se arrienda o transfiere a beneficiarios de bajos ingresos a tasas inferiores a las del mercado, hasta la provisión de apoyo financiero (subsidios) e incentivos no financieros para productores y consumidores del sector privado de viviendas urbanas, y para la administración de programas (“no convencionales”) de apoyos sociales, técnicos y legislativos que permitan la producción, mantenimiento y gestión de viviendas socialmente aceptables a precios y costos que sean asequibles para familias y comunidades urbanas de bajos ingresos. Se concluye con una breve revisión de la dirección que las políticas de vivienda pública han tomado durante el comienzo del siglo xxi y una reflexión sobre “adónde ir ahora”, haciendo una distinción entre las estrategias de “vivienda pública” y “vivienda social” y cómo pueden ser combinadas en un paradigma de “asociación” para el siglo xxi.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Cradle to Cradle

    Book Details:
  • Author : William McDonough
  • Publisher : North Point Press
  • Release : 2010-03-01
  • ISBN : 1429973846
  • Pages : 207 pages

Download or read book Cradle to Cradle written by William McDonough and published by North Point Press. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism "Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are). Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, William McDonough and Michael Braungart make an exciting and viable case for change.
