Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il nostro futuro inizia dalle città. In Europa e nel mondo nascono nuove smart cities, fondate su stili di vita sostenibili, sulla qualità degli spazi, sul lavoro verde. Ma non esistono città intelligenti senza cittadini informati, attivi, creativi. Questo libro racconta le vicende di tre personaggi immaginari: una studentessa, un impiegato e una professionista. Tre cittadini che crescono, insieme alle rispettive città. Con loro scopriamo che azione individuale e progetti sociali garantiscono davvero ambienti compatibili e una vita migliore. Essere spettatori passivi non conviene: l’avventura di inventare di nuovo le nostre città è già cominciata.

Nascono così proposte di hotel per turismo giovanile, case auto costruite con orti urbani, mercati ecologici, spazi per campeggiatori, centri sociali di nuova concezione, edifici per la musica o contro l'emarginazione sociale. La valorizzazione piazze e slarghi degradati, o di vuoti abbandonati e lo studio di nuovi approcci bioclimatici, rappresentano aspetti qualificanti le proposte insieme all'utilizzazione di tecnologie informatiche (da google map a una rete di Blog) La forza di UrbanVoids(tm) non è però nei singoli aspetti, ma nel loro intreccio e sviluppo sinergico; le componenti si integrano, si valorizzano, trovano alimento e forza l'una dall'altra, diffondono una coscienza critica, generano le partnership necessarie a iniziare la realizzazione concreta di alcuni dei progetti proposti

This book was released on 2016-01-03T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dare più qualità alle nostre città, renderle più sostenibili, meno energivore e meno inquinanti. In un mondo in cui tra trent'anni oltre due persone su tre vivranno in città – già oggi la popolazione urbana supera la metà della popolazione globale – qualità e sostenibilità delle città sono questioni cruciali e ineludibili. Come affrontarle? A quali risorse ricorrere? Quali metodi adottare? E poi: vi sono esperienze recenti delle quali far tesoro, lezioni da trarne? A tali domande i testi raccolti in questo volume danno prime risposte. Delineando gli scenari emersi dall'ultimo ciclo espansivo. Indicando a quali risorse economiche far ricorso e con quali strumenti agire affinché le rendite che le città creano siano usate per fini pubblici, per migliorarne servizi, attrezzature, qualità e bellezza. Rivendicando chiarezza nei ruoli dei diversi attori privati e pubblici e l'indispensabile compito di regia di questi ultimi nel guidare le trasformazioni. Analizzando, nella seconda parte, le realizzazioni recenti di alcuni quartieri in diverse città europee. Non proposte o progetti futuribili bensí trasformazioni già compiute, nelle quali scorre una vita migliore, che illustrano con grande evidenza cosa possono significare qualità e sostenibilità. E come sia possibile affrontare la crisi globale “facendo meglio con meno”. Riuscendo a disegnare attraverso tentativi, errori e successi, i primi elementi di un nuovo modello di sviluppo urbano sostenibile.

Book Synopsis Tourism and Politics by : Peter M. Burns
Download or read book Tourism and Politics written by Peter M. Burns and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-03-14 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism and Politics aims to disseminate ideas on the critical discourse of tourism and tourists as they relate to politics, through a series of case studies from around the world written by specialists with an emphasis on linking theory to practice. That tourism is a profoundly important economic sector for most countries and regions of the world is widely accepted, even if some of the detail remains controversial. However, as tourism matures as a subject, the theories underpinning it necessarily need to be more sophisticated; tourism cannot be simply ‘read’ as a business proposition with a series of impacts. Wider questions of politics, power and identity need to be articulated, investigated and answered. While the making and consuming of tourism takes place within complex political milieux with multiple stakeholders competing for benefit, the implications are not fully understood. Literature on tourism and politics is surprisingly limited. This book will make a substantial contribution to the theoretical framework of tourism.

Emphasising the importance of merging planning and complexity, this comprehensive Handbook also clarifies key concepts and theories, presents examples on planning and complexity and proposes new ideas and methods which emerge from synthesising the discipline of spatial planning with complexity sciences.
Book Synopsis Nature and History in Modern Italy by : Marco Armiero
Download or read book Nature and History in Modern Italy written by Marco Armiero and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-15 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is Italy il bel paese—the beautiful country—where tourists spend their vacations looking for art, history, and scenery? Or is it a land whose beauty has been cursed by humanity’s greed and nature’s cruelty? The answer is largely a matter of narrative and the narrator’s vision of Italy. The fifteen essays in Nature and History in Modern Italy investigate that nation’s long experience in managing domesxadtixadcated rather than wild natures and offer insight into these conflicting visions. Italians shaped their land in the most literal sense, producing the landscape, sculpting its heritage, embedding memory in nature, and rendering the two different visions inseparxadable. The interplay of Italy’s rich human history and its dramatic natural diversity is a subject with broad appeal to a wide range of readers.

Book Synopsis Europe's Living Landscapes by : Bas Pedroli
Download or read book Europe's Living Landscapes written by Bas Pedroli and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-12-22 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of three symposia of the Dutch Society for Landscape Ecology. The first symposium in 2005 was about the National Ecological Network in the Netherlands . The reason was that the implementation of the NEN, decided upon in 1990, was halfway. The second symposium, in 2006, was about urban ecology and the third one, to be held in 2007, will be about civil infrastructure. This book does not cover the conferences completely and new contributions are added. The three themes are important contexts in which landscape ecologists do their research and apply their knowledge and skills. Of course, there are many more subjects to hold conferences about, for example climate change, urbanisation, agriculture, landscape ecology itself etc. The focus of the conferences is on the Netherlands, with its urbanisation, intensive land use and water management as characteristic features. Although many WLO members do their work abroad or in an international context, these conferences offer a window on what happens in the Dutch context. The experiences may be of value for other contexts and that is why we present the results in English. The selected themes and the focus on the Dutch context are serious demarcations of what landscape ecology in the Netherlands is all about. The book does not represent all research and applications of landscape ecology.
Book Synopsis Fashion Supply Chain Management by : Virginia Grose
Download or read book Fashion Supply Chain Management written by Virginia Grose and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-20 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion Supply Chain Management: Integrating Sustainability through the Fashion Supply Chain provides a comprehensive guide to the entire supply chain management process as it relates to the fashion industry; how fashion supply chains work from raw material to finished product, and how generic supply chain concepts are applied in the fashion context. It focuses on contemporary strategic issues with which the sector is currently confronted, some of its current challenges and the innovative ways the sector has developed to respond to these challenges. Concepts such as sustainability, fast fashion, raw materials, logistics and reverse logistics, costing, lean and agile manufacturing and other supply chain strategies are expertly covered in this work, with each area underpinned by the new technologies required to support supply chains in the fashion industry. Each chapter is complemented by an in-depth case study from a relevant global organization so that readers can gain real-world insight, alongside pedagogy to aid student comprehension, including quizzes, end-of-chapter activities, and role play scenarios. This key work is an essential textbook for students studying fashion supply chain, operations, and logistics as part of fashion management undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Fully comprehensive on theory yet applied to practice, it will equip students with the tools and understanding for a future career in the fashion industry.
Book Synopsis City Project and Public Space by : Silvia Serreli
Download or read book City Project and Public Space written by Silvia Serreli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book aims at nurturing theoretic reflection on the city and the territory and working out and applying methods and techniques for improving our physical and social landscapes. The main issue is developed around the projectual dimension, with the objective of visualising both the city and the territory from a particular viewpoint, which singles out the territorial dimension as the city’s space of communication and negotiation. Issues that characterise the dynamics of city development will be faced, such as the new, fresh relations between urban societies and physical space, the right to the city, urban equity, the project for the physical city as a means to reveal civitas, signs of new social cohesiveness, the sense of contemporary public space and the sustainability of urban development. Authors have been invited to explore topics that feature a pluralism of disciplinary contributions studying formal and informal practices on the project for the city and seeking conceptual and operative categories capable of understanding and facing the problems inherent in the profound transformations of contemporary urban landscapes.
Book Synopsis Smart Rules for Smart Cities by : Eleonora Riva Sanseverino
Download or read book Smart Rules for Smart Cities written by Eleonora Riva Sanseverino and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-23 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the new rules and codes that are required in order to foster the implementation of smart city technologies with a view to meeting the environmental and energy challenges posed by dynamic contemporary cities with increasing populations. In particular, it proposes a methodological approach suitable for use when devising a smart urban/building code for local administrations, taking into account the current European regulatory framework (directives and technical norms) and evaluating the economic feasibility of the suggested measures. A case study is made of a large Mediterranean city in Italy that can be regarded as a paradigm of urban evolution, where a traditional individualism poses a cultural obstacle to the emerging need to share resources. Further features include a smart cities atlas, explanation of how to create local rules for sustainable building restoration/construction, and guidance on economic evaluation of the impact of building automation and passive measures for energy efficiency. The book, which has a multidisciplinary perspective, will be of value to all who are interested in the transition to smart cities that can meet sustainable development targets.
