Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'" écologie urbaine " exprime la demande sociale et politique en faveur d'une ville qui serait plus écologique et qui répondrait mieux à l'insatisfaction profonde de la société pour son cadre de vie. Or, l'urbanisme contemporain éprouve de grandes difficultés pour répondre à cette demande. L'objet de ce livre est de comprendre les raisons de cette incapacité, pour pouvoir les dépasser. L'" écologie urbaine " exprime la demande sociale et politique en faveur d'une ville qui serait plus écologique et qui répondrait mieux à l'insatisfaction profonde de la société pour son cadre de vie. Or, l'urbanisme contemporain éprouve de grandes difficultés pour répondre à cette demande. L'objet de ce livre est de comprendre les raisons de cette incapacité, pour pouvoir les dépasser. En partant de l'histoire récente de l'écologie urbaine, les auteurs soulignent la nécessité de retrouver dans l'histoire de l'urbanisme les éléments porteurs d'une pensée écologique. Ils montrent que, dès le début du xxe siècle, toute une configuration de penseurs et d'acteurs de l'urbanisme cherchaient à rendre compatibles science de l'action et connaissance du milieu, analyse scientifique et prospective. Cette " école française de l'écologie urbaine " renvoyait délibérément à l'environnement, à la connaissance scientifique et à l'élaboration de modèles d'action plaçant le milieu au centre de leurs préoccupations. Les auteurs expliquent pourquoi cette école n'a pas réussi à se perpétuer, la compétition entre disciplines se terminant par l'élimination des idées porteuses de l'approche écologique en urbanisme. Ainsi, bien des difficultés pour rapprocher écologie et urbanisme remontent au début du xxe siècle. C'est au prix de ce détour et de ce diagnostic que s'ouvre la voie d'une démarche prospective dans ce domaine si important pour l'avenir.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les banlieues sont la proie des casseurs et le théâtre d’affrontements violents entre bandes de jeunes désœuvrés. Les murs de certains quartiers sont couverts de sigles mystérieux. Des citadins s’opposent à l’abattage des arbres de certaines rues et places. Tous les sondages indiquent que les nuisances les plus vivement ressenties par les citoyens sont le bruit, la circulation et l’insécurité dans les villes. Qu’est-ce qu’elle a, la ville ? Va-t-elle devenir un enfer de stress, de pollutions et de violences, à une époque où la majorité de la population est devenue urbaine ? Ce livre, longuement mûri à travers des expériences menées sur les villes nouvelles, présente un diagnostic sur l’état de santé de la ville et de ses habitants. Loin de considérer la cité comme la mère de tous les vices et les urbanistes comme les responsables de tous les maux, l’auteur propose une nouvelle approche, écologique, du milieu urbain. Non pas une utopie de la ville verte mais des modes d’aménagement et de gestion intégrés de l’environnement et de l’espace urbain. L’écologie pour sauver la ville.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surrounded by water and located at the heart of a fertile plain, the Island of Montreal has been a crossroads for Indigenous peoples, European settlers, and today's citizens, and an inland port city for the movement of people and goods into and out of North America. Commemorating the city's 375th anniversary, Montreal: The History of a North American City is the definitive, two-volume account of this fascinating metropolis and its storied hinterland. This comprehensive collection of essays, filled with hundreds of illustrations, photographs, and maps, draws on human geography and environmental history to show that while certain distinctive features remain unchanged – Mount Royal, the Lachine Rapids of the Saint Lawrence River – human intervention and urban evolution mean that over time Montrealers have had drastically different experiences and historical understandings. Significant issues such as religion, government, social conditions, the economy, labour, transportation, culture and entertainment, and scientific and technological innovation are treated thematically in innovative and diverse chapters to illuminate how people's lives changed along with the transformation of Montreal. This history of a city in motion presents an entire picture of the changes that have marked the region as it spread from the old city of Ville-Marie into parishes, autonomous towns, boroughs, and suburbs on and off the island. The first volume encompasses the city up to 1930, vividly depicting the lives of First Nations prior to the arrival of Europeans, colonization by the French, and the beginning of British Rule. The crucial roles of waterways, portaging, paths, and trails as the primary means of travelling and trade are first examined before delving into the construction of canals, railways, and the first major roads. Nineteenth-century industrialization created a period of near-total change in Montreal as it became Canada's leading city and witnessed staggering population growth from less than 20,000 people in 1800 to over one million by 1930. The second volume treats the history of Montreal since 1930, the year that the Jacques Cartier Bridge was opened and allowed for the outward expansion of a region, which before had been confined to the island. From the Great Depression and Montreal's role as a munitions manufacturing centre during the Second World War to major cultural events like Expo 67, the twentieth century saw Montreal grow into one of the continent's largest cities, requiring stringent management of infrastructure, public utilities, and transportation. This volume also extensively studies the kinds of political debate with which the region and country still grapple regarding language, nationalism, federalism, and self-determination.

Download or read book Urban Ecology and Global Climate Change written by Rahul Bhadouria and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Ecology and Global Climate Change Urban Ecology and Global Climate Change contains the latest practical and theoretical concepts of the emerging issues in urban ecological studies. The authors highlight some of the major challenges currently impeding ecological restoration goals in urbanized regions across the globe. It is sobering that the majority of sustainable development projects are being defeated by the increasing pace of two particular phenomena – namely climate change and urbanization. This book includes coverage of the major threats to biodiversity conservation and the most significant contributors to the deterioration of urban ecosystems. In addition, various case studies that reflect the anthropogenic interventions on ecological restoration are included. The book looks at evolving growth and urbanization concepts, monitoring of urbanization trends, land-use land cover (LULC) changes in urban and non-urban cities based on the use of open access data, urbanization affecting rural ecology, soil carbon emissions, urban development, human well-being and case studies of sustainable smart cities. Urban Ecology and Global Climate Change will find an appreciative audience amongst students of urban ecology and environmental policy, as well as policymakers, scientists and industrialists. The book provides an excellent introduction to the principles of smart city planning and urban sustainability with a view to maintaining ecological and conservation status of urban environments.

Download or read book Urban Ecosystem Justice written by Scott Kellogg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Merging together the fields of urban ecology, environmental justice, and urban environmental education, Urban Ecosystem Justice promotes building fair, accessible, and mutually beneficial relationships between citizens and the soils, water, atmospheres, and biodiversity in their cities. This book provides a framework for re-centering issues of justice and fairness in sustainability discourse while challenging the profound ecological alienation experienced by urban residents. While the urban sustainability movement has had many successes in the past few decades, there remain areas for it to grow. For one, the benefits of sustainability have disproportionately benefited wealthier city residents, with concerns over equity, justice, and social sustainability frequently taking a back seat to economic and environmental considerations. Additionally, many city dwellers remain estranged from and unfamiliar with ecological processes, with urban environments often thought of as existing outside of nature or as hopelessly degraded. Through a citizen-centered lens, the book offers a guide to reconciling these issues by demonstrating how questions of equity, access, and justice apply to the biophysical dimensions of the urban ecosystem: soil, water, air, waste, and biodiversity. Drawing heavily from the fields of urban ecology, environmental justice, and ecological design, this book lays out a science of cities for people: a pedagogical platform that can be used to promote ecological literacy in underrepresented urban communities through affordable and decentralized means. This book provides both a theoretical and practical field guide to students and researchers of urban sustainability, city planners, architects, policymakers, and activists wishing to develop reciprocal relationships with urban ecologies.

Download or read book Understanding Urban Ecology written by Myrna H. P. Hall and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-10 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over half of the world’s population now lives in urban areas. Few who live in cities understand that cities, too, are ecosystems, as beholden to the laws and principles of ecology as are natural ecosystems. Understanding Urban Ecology: An Interdisciplinary Systems Approach introduces students at the college undergraduate level, or those in advanced-standing college credit high school courses, to cities as ecosystems. For graduate students it provides an overview and rich literature base. Urban planners, educators, and decision makers can use this book to help in designing a more sustainable or “green” future. The authors use a systems approach to explore the complexity and interactions of different components of a city’s ecology with an emphasis on the energy and materials required to maintain such concentrated centers of human activity and consumption. The book is written by seventeen specialized contributors and includes ten accompanying detailed field exercises to promote hands-on experience, observation, and quantification of urban ecosystem structure and function.The chapters describe one by one the different subsystems of the urban environment, their individual components and functions, and the interactions among them that create the social-ecological environments in which we live. The book’s emphasis on social-ecological metabolism provides students with the knowledge and methods needed to evaluate proposed policies for urban sustainability in terms of ecosystem capacity, potential positive and negative feedbacks, the laws of thermo-dynamics, and socio-cultural perception and adaptability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Urban Ecology: A Global Framework explores ways in which the environmental quality of urban areas can be improved starting with existing environmental conditions and their dynamics. Written by an internationally renowned selection of scientists and practitioners, the book covers a broad range of established and novel approaches to applied urban ecology. Approaches chosen for the book are placed in the context of issues such as climate change, green- and open-space development, flood-risk assessment, threats to urban biodiversity, and increasing environmental pollution (especially in the “megacities” of newly industrialized countries). All topics covered were chosen because they are socially and socio-politically relevant today. Further topics covered include sustainable energy and budget management, urban water resource management, urban land management, and urban landscape planning and design. Throughout the book, concepts and methods are illustrated using case studies from around the world. A closing synopsis draws conclusions on how the findings of urban ecological research can be used in strategic urban management in the future. Applied Urban Ecology: A Global Framework is an advanced textbook for students, researchers and experienced practitioners in urban ecology and urban environmental research, planning, and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce manuel propose un état des connaissances actuelles sur le fonctionnement de la nature en milieu yrbain : son écologie. Les villes sont des structures complexes qui abritent une disparité de conditions de vie. Elles peuvent générer des viviers de biodiversité comme elles peuvent les détruire. Elles sont elles-mêmes des organismes qui se développent, mutent, périclitent. Ce manuel analyse ces phénomènes. Il affirme quelques principes afin de pallier la cécité écologique des citadins, et parer à l'agonie des écosystèmes urbains. Ce manuel entend provoquer une prise de conscience. Elle est nécessaire, insuffisante et pourtant indispensable. Chaque être vivant dépend des interactions entretenues avec les milieux et le vivant qui l'entourent, quels qu'ils soient. L'ouvrage souligne par là même les dimensions sociologiques, urbanistiques et politiques induites.
