Book excerpt: El final del presente decenioy el próximo van a ser decisivos para orientar el rumbo de los generalizadosprocesos de urbanización, identificados como una de las principalesmegatendencias mundiales. Estamos en un momento histórico para entender que lasciudades y los territorios son elementos críticos de la transición hacia lasostenibilidad local y global. Como partes de la solución y del problema, laszonas urbanas y sus entornos tienen capacidades para rediseñar la políticaurbana y regional con un enfoque integrado y sostenible a fin de abordar conesperanza los desafíos sistémicos y los fenómenos globales como el cambioclimático. La transición urbana y territorial en la era del Antropoceno y elCambio Global precisa ajustes proactivos y adaptativos de los socioecosistemasurbanos y las regiones en el denominado ?siglo metropolitano?.El libro estádistribuido en 7 partes que abordan diferentes temáticas de interés en lasciudades:? La transición urbana y territorial frente alcambio global y las megatendencias mundiales.? Las bases para definir ciudades y territorioscon inteligencia, sostenibilidad y resiliencia en busca de la convivencia.? Perspectiva sistémica y la gestión delmetabolismo urbano.? Criterios de ecoeficiencia, morfología,movilidad e impacto ambiental en la gestión urbana.? Gestión de la sostenibilidad y la resilienciaen un contexto territorial.? Agendas estratégicas y marcos de referenciapara los nuevos paradigmas urbanos.? Modelos avanzados de gobernanza local: nuevascapacidades y responsabilidades de las sociedades y de los gobiernos urbanos yregionales.A lo largo de, estetexto se abordan los desafíos de los nuevos paradigmas urbanos donde se debenencuadrar coherentemente las políticas, las normativas, los sistemas deplanificación, gestión y gobernanza participativa de las ciudades y lasregiones. Así, se resalta el enfoque integrado de la dimensión urbana en unmarco territorial, al tiempo que se enfatiza la relación de las ciudades y delos territorios, insistiendo en los nexos urbano-rurales para mejorar lasostenibilidad y la resiliencia local-regional. La gestión de lossocioecosistemas urbanos y los territorios se tiene que plantear desde unenfoque de sistemas considerando el metabolismo de las modernas ciudades y losfactores de ecoeficiencia relacionados con la morfología urbana, la movilidad yel mayor impacto ambiental de los patrones urbanos dispersos frente acompactos, que son mucho más eficientes y sostenibles.El libro se publica enun momento oportuno, justo después de la Conferencia HABITAT III, señalando laimportancia estratégica de las zonas urbanas, en su empeño por dominar elplaneta, para trazar y afrontar colectivamente el futuro en el marco de undesarrollo humano sostenible. Es una obra profunda con contenidos de máximaactualidad que debe ser de interés para el mundo académico, para profesionalesinvolucrados con la planificación de la gestión urbana y para el gobierno anivel local, así como también para todos aquellos estudiosos de los procesos desostenibilidad aplicada a la dimensión urbana y territorial.Las ciudades yterritorios, donde viven, trabajan y sueñan las personas, requieren formas degestión y gobernanza inteligentes, resilientes y sostenibles, pero tambiénnecesitan más sabiduría para crear lugares habitables y convivenciales.Sobre el autorLuis M.

Book Synopsis Biological Wastewater Treatment by : Mogens Henze
Download or read book Biological Wastewater Treatment written by Mogens Henze and published by IWA Publishing (International Water Assoc). This book was released on 1881 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.

Book Synopsis Climate Change Policy by : Michael Bothe
Download or read book Climate Change Policy written by Michael Bothe and published by Eleven International Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the research results of an interdisciplinary study on climate change policies by the Enforcing Environmental Policy (EEP) Network, a project supported by the Human Dimension Potential Programme. Contributions are from highly qualified economic and legal specialists based at research institutes across Europe. The book gives answers to several questions related to the implementation of the international rules on climate change, most notably the Kyoto Protocol. It analyses ways and means to facilitate and encourage compliance with the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol. It is addressed to policy-makers, academics, business-sector and stakeholders throughout and outside Europe. Due to its interdisciplinary approach, this work is a distinctive and unique product compared to the existing literature on the subject. The effective implementation of climate protection and clean air policy requires an understanding of the political, legal and economic structures and constraints facing policy makers - and this is exactly what this book offers.

Book Synopsis World Anthropologies by : Gustavo Lins Ribeiro
Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Book Synopsis Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development by : Amedeo Fossati
Download or read book Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development written by Amedeo Fossati and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many countries tourism is an industry of great economic significance; it is seen as a main instrument for regional development, as it stimulates new economic activities. Tourism may have a positive economic impact on the balance of payments, on employment, on gross income and production, but it may also have negative effects, particularly on the environment. Questions arise as to whether it is possible to keep on developing tourism in a certain area without negative or irreversible influences on the environment. Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development provides a theoretical framework for these problems, as well as practical illustrations on the following topics: the conditions under which specialization in tourism is not harmful for economic growth; the trade-offs, if any, between tourism development and economic growth; the need for government intervention and the various policy options and instruments available to policy makers. The book comprises two parts. The first part presents general views on tourism and sustainable economic development, and some opinions on the relationship between tourism and the environment. Some of the basic concepts implicit in sustainability are examined in relation to regional development, urban tourism, art cities, and rural tourism. The second part of the book concentrates on strategies and policy instruments. The purpose is to concisely define and bring together some policies which appear to be necessary, and whose implementation is required if we are to reconcile tourism development with the protection and conservation of the environment. Some analytical tools for policy making with regard to tourism and the environment are developed. As will become clear, there are many gaps in our knowledge that need to be filled if we are to be successful in controlling tourism in a way that puts this important industry onto a sustainable development path.
Book Synopsis Risk Habitat Megacity by : Dirk Heinrichs
Download or read book Risk Habitat Megacity written by Dirk Heinrichs and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-09 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megacity development and the inherent risks and opportunities for humans and the environment is a theme of growing urgency in the 21st century. Focusing on Latin America where urbanization is most advanced, this book studies the complexity of a ‘mega-urban system’ and explores interrelations between sectors and issues by providing an in-depths study of one particular city, Santiago de Chile. The book attempts to (i) focus on the emergence of risk in megacities by analyzing risk elements, (ii) evaluate the extent and severity of risks, (iii) develop strategies to cope with adverse risks, and (iv) to guide urban development by combining concepts with empirical evidence. Drawing on the work of an interdisciplinary and international consortium of academic and professional partners, the book is written for scholars in cross-cutting areas of urban, sustainability, hazard, governance and planning research as well as practitioners from local, regional and international organizations.
