Download or read book Urbicide written by Fernando Carrión Mena and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the reflection of academics specialized in the urban area of Latin America, Europe and the United States, to initiate a comparative debate of the different dynamics in which Urbicidio expresses itself. The field or focal point of analysis that this publication approaches is the city, but under a new critical perspective of inverse methodology to that has been traditional used. It is about understanding the structural causes of self-destruction to finally thinking better and then going from pessimism to optimism. It is a deep look at the city from an unconventional entrance, because it is about knowing and analyzing what the city loses by the action deployed by own urbanites, both in the field of its production and in the field of its consumption. This suppose that the city does not have an ascending linear sequential evolution in its development but neither in each of its parts in the improvement process, showing the face that commonly not seen but others live. The category used for this purpose is that of Urbicidio or the death of the city, which contributes theoretically and methodologically to the knowledge of the city, as well as to the design of urban policies that neutralize it. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the book has an inclusive view of the authors. For this reason, gender parity, territorial representation and the presence of age groups have been sought.
Download or read book Everyday Mobility and Health written by Julie Vallee and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday mobility is neither favorable nor unfavorable to health. While it can facilitate social interactions, increase access to remote services, or encourage physical activity, it can also generate pollution, promote the spread of epidemics or cause traffic accidents. This book presents different facets of the relationship between daily mobility and health, focusing on the environments (geographical, social and political) that people live and move around in. It analyzes the role of mobility in the mechanisms of environmental exposure and diffusion, as well as the resulting health inequalities. It deals with active modes of travel (mainly walking and cycling) and the local contexts that are conducive to them. Finally, it offers a critical reading of the place given to everyday mobility in policies to combat obesity and rationalize regional healthcare provision.
Download or read book Rapport de situation sur la s curit routi re dans le monde written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2009 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environ 1,3 million de personnes meurent chaque année dans le monde sur les routes et entre 20 et 50 millions sont victimes d'accidents non mortels. Bien que de nombreux pays aient commencé à appliquer des mesures de sécurité routière, il n'y a eu jusqu'ici aucune évaluation mondiale de la sécurité routière qui permette d'évaluer les progrès accomplis au fil du temps. Le rapport de situation sur la sécurité routière dans le monde, qui utilise des données tirées d'une enquête standardisée, est la première évaluation globale de la situation en matière de sécurité routière dans 178 pays. Il ressort de ce rapport que les accidents de la circulation restent un problème de santé publique important, en particulier dans les pays à revenu faible et intermédiaire. Les piétons, les cyclistes et les motocyclistes représentent près de la moitié des victimes de la route, ce qui souligne la nécessité d'accorder davantage d'attention à ces usagers dans les programmes de sécurité routière. Il ressort également du rapport que, dans de nombreux pays, les lois sur la sécurité routière devraient être renforcées et qu'elles devraient être plus strictement appliquées. Le rapport de situation sur la sécurité routière dans le mondemontre clairement qu'une action plus énergique serait nécessaire pour rendre les routes plus sûres.

Download or read book Global Status Report on Road Safety written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 1.3 million people die each year on the world's roads, and between 20 and 50 million sustain non-fatal injuries. The Global status report on road safety is the first broad assessment of the road safety situation in 178 countries, using data drawn from a standardized survey. The results show that road traffic injuries remain an important public health problem, particularly for low-income and middle-income countries. Pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists make up almost half of those killed on the roads, highlighting the need for these road users to be given more attention in road safety programmes. The results suggest that in many countries road safety laws need to be made more comprehensive while enforcement should be strengthened. The Global status report on road safety results clearly show that significantly more action is needed to make the world's roads safer. [Ed.]

Download or read book The Sober Revolution written by Joseph Bohling and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne. The names of these and other French regions bring to mind time-honored winemaking practices. Yet the link between wine and place, in French known as terroir, was not a given. In The Sober Revolution, Joseph Bohling inverts our understanding of French wine history by revealing a modern connection between wine and place, one with profound ties to such diverse and sometimes unlikely issues as alcoholism, drunk driving, regional tourism, Algeria’s independence from French rule, and integration into the European Economic Community. In the 1930s, cheap, mass-produced wines from the Languedoc region of southern France and French Algeria dominated French markets. Artisanal wine producers, worried about the impact of these "inferior" products on the reputation of their wines, created a system of regional appellation labeling to reform the industry in their favor by linking quality to the place of origin. At the same time, the loss of Algeria, once the world’s largest wine exporter, forced the industry to rethink wine production. Over several decades, appellation producers were joined by technocrats, public health activists, tourism boosters, and other dynamic economic actors who blamed cheap industrial wine for hindering efforts to modernize France. Today, scholars, food activists, and wine enthusiasts see the appellation system as a counterweight to globalization and industrial food. But, as The Sober Revolution reveals, French efforts to localize wine and integrate into global markets were not antagonistic but instead mutually dependent. The time-honored winemaking practices that we associate with a pastoral vision of traditional France were in fact a strategy deployed by the wine industry to meet the challenges and opportunities of the post-1945 international economy. France’s luxury wine producers were more market savvy than we realize.
