Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El agua, como fuente de vida para el desarrollo de las funciones sociales, económicas y ambientales, condiciona sin duda el progreso de la ciudad. La alta concentración urbana, el cambio de uso del suelo y la progresiva contaminación someten hoy los recursos hídricos a una fuerte presión, lo que ocasiona insoportables y permanentes escenarios de crisis. La tendencia actual urbana en el uso del agua es sencillamente insostenible, dado el actual modelo de desarrollo urbano, que no contempla las consecuencias del uso indiscriminado de los recursos naturales de su entorno. No es razonable financiar el costo económico, social y ambiental para el abastecimiento de grandes poblaciones con escurrimientos superficiales transportados de otras vertientes, con sobre-explotación y agotamiento de acuíferos o deterioro sin freno de la calidad de las aguas. Para mitigar esta grave situación y hacer posible un aprovechamiento sostenible del agua, es necesario poseer un amplio conocimiento de las causas que originan su escasez y deterioro, así como de los instrumentos de gestión y de las herramientas más adecuadas para corregir el problema. Hay en este documento información valiosa para comprender y ahondar sobre el tratamiento idóneo de los recursos hídricos para asegurar su permanencia en el mundo urbano y rural."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis Agua y ciudades by : Judith Domínguez
Download or read book Agua y ciudades written by Judith Domínguez and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2023-07-31 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El agua y las ciudades son una preocupación obligada en nuestros tiempos. A medida que las ciudades crecen, demandan más recursos, energía y agua. México es un país predominantemente urbano con dinámicas económicas diversas, pero, en todas ellas, la gestión del agua representa un gran desafío ambiental, económico y social. Esta obra colectiva es una reflexión de investigadores, profesores y egresados del Centro de Estudios Demográficos, Urbanos y Ambientales de El Colegio de México que aborda diversas facetas de la problemática hídrica urbana. Es producto de un diálogo multidisciplinario sobre la complejidad de este fenómeno, que busca aportar orientaciones para superar la crisis hídrica desde el punto de vista teórico-conceptual y de la gestión. En la obra se tratan temas urgentes y de actualidad, como la seguridad hídrica, el derecho humano al agua, la compleja administración y gobernanza de los sistemas de agua urbana, sus nexos con las dinámicas económica y demográfica en México, las demandas de agua, sus aspectos económicos o los servicios ambientales que nos proporcionan los ríos urbanos.

This book was released on 2022-09-18 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La relación con el agua modeló́ la cultura de la ciudad, pero la cultura a su vez creó́ nuevas relaciones con el agua: un diálogo eterno entre la sociedad y el agua, el agua y la sociedad y allí en medio de ese diálogo está́ la ciudad. Esa fue una de las primeras imá́genes que surgió ante la propuesta de producir un texto que hable de ciudad y cultura. Michel Serres observa que la larga vida de las especies pasa por las breves vidas de los seres que conforman las especies. La vida se prolonga a travé́s de la sucesió́n. De igual manera el tiempo de las ciudades no es el tiempo de los hombres, sino el de las generaciones, que refirieron su vida al lugar y su cultura aparece atravesada, de una u otra manera, por la presencia y la significación del agua. La lectura de este libro, a través de sus cinco ensayos, procedentes de cinco diferentes procesos de investigació́n, confirma las hipó́tesis propuestas por este proyecto: El agua es inherente a la vida, aunque también es válida la inversa: la vida es inherente al agua.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La proliferación de huertos urbanos en las ciudades no es un fenómeno circunstancial: responde a una serie de necesidades económicas, urbanísticas, ambientales y sociales que reflejan un cambio profundo en la concepción de la ciudad y en su relación con el entorno agrícola. El presente estudio analiza la situación actual de la agricultura urbana y aporta propuestas metodológicas concretas para introducir el cultivo agrícola en la ciudad y en los edificios. Tras abordar la relación entre agricultura y sostenibilidad, el libro describe la experiencia de algunas ciudades que han introducido con éxito la agricultura en la planificación urbana (Viena, Toronto, La Habana, Rosario, Barcelona y Girona) y proporciona una serie de criterios y estrategias de actuación en los ámbitos del urbanismo y la construcción. Pensado como guía básica para conocer y desarrollar proyectos de agricultura urbana, el libro se dirige a arquitectos, paisajistas y urbanistas, así como a todas aquellas personas interesadas en los huertos urbanos.
Book Synopsis Pure Space (Spanish Edition) by : Elisa Silva
Download or read book Pure Space (Spanish Edition) written by Elisa Silva and published by Actar D, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book may seem a simple accumulation of twenty-one public space projects in eight Latin American cities. On closer inspection, the presentation of project descriptions, photographs, and annotated drawings reflects a concern to analytically explain the operative aspects at work. The publication is not intended to serve only as a catalogue, guide, or manual on how to produce public space in spontaneous settlements. Rather, it goes beyond the aims of an index of best practices. It is intended, instead, as an empirical base for a critical and theoretical engagement with the problematic of development, social inclusion, public investment, (in)formal settlement, civil society and the public sphere. The publication achieves its final function at this third level, by providing a compelling argument to expand the agency of architects and urban designers and creatively find ways of justifying, financing, and building public spaces in communities —spaces that have a catalytic effectiveness in achieving significant urban and social transformation. This book was awarded by a Graham Foundation Grant and CAF Development Bank of Latin America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth as Transformed by Human Action is the culmination of a mammoth undertaking involving the examination of the toll our continual strides forward, technical and social, take on our world. The purpose of such a study is to document the changes in the biosphere that have taken place over the last 300 years, to contrast global patterns of change to those appearing on a regional level, and to explain the major human forces that have driven these changes. The first section deals strictly with the major human forces of the past 300 years and the second is a detailed account of the transformations of the global environment wrought by human action. The final section examines a range of perspectives and theories that purport to explain human actions with regard to the biosphere.

Book Synopsis Technocratic Visions by : J. Justin Castro
Download or read book Technocratic Visions written by J. Justin Castro and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technocratic Visions examines the context and societal consequences of technologies, technocratic governance, and development in Mexico, home of the first professional engineering school in the Americas. Contributors focus on the influential role of engineers, especially civil engineers, but also mining engineers, military engineers, architects, and other infrastructural and mechanical technicians. During the mid-nineteenth century, a period of immense upheaval and change domestically and globally, troubled governments attempted to expand and modernize Mexico’s engineering programs while resisting foreign invasion and adapting new Western technologies to existing precolonial and colonial foundations. The Mexican Revolution in 1910 greatly expanded technocratic practices as state agents attempted to control popular unrest and unify disparate communities via science, education, and infrastructure. Within this backdrop of political unrest, Technocratic Visions describes engineering sites as places both praised and protested, where personal, local, national, and global interests combined into new forms of societal creation; and as places that became centers of contests over representation, health, identity, and power. With an eye on contextualizing current problems stemming from Mexico’s historical development, this volume reveals how these transformations were uniquely Mexican and thoroughly global.
