Book excerpt: Si les conditions du milieu urbain ne sont, dans l'ensemble, pas favorables à l'installation du vivant, le fait urbain recouvre une grande complexité sur le plan spatial, architectural, historique et paysager. Les morphologies urbaines se déploient et s'enchaînent les unes avec les autres, selon les époques, les zones biogéographiques d'implantation, les matériaux à disposition pour la construction, etc. Pour étudier l'impact de l'urbain sur les espèces animales ou végétales, les écologues ont privilégié les approches par gradient d'urbanisation, allant du rural vers le plus urbain. Par commodité des analyses, ils ont simplifié ainsi une réalité bien plus complexe puisque des formes urbaines diverses se surimposent à ce gradient d'urbanisation. Si l'on s'attache à décrire les possibilités d'un maintien voire d'un épanouissement des espèces animales et végétales en ville, il paraît alors essentiel de se pencher sur les différentes formes de l'urbain et d'évaluer leurs capacités à permettre ce maintien. L'échelle retenue, celle du quartier, ouvre la voie à l'étude de l'impact des formes d'organisation du bâti sur la biodiversité urbaine.

Book excerpt: Mapping Urban Spaces focuses on medium-sized European cities and more specifically on their open spaces from psychological, sociological, and aesthetic points of view. The chapters illustrate how the characteristics that make life in medium-sized European cities pleasant and sustainable – accessibility, ease of travel, urban sustainability, social inclusiveness – can be traced back to the nature of that space. The chapters develop from a phenomenological study of space to contributions on places and landscapes in the city. Centralities and their meaning are studied, as well as the social space and its complexity. The contributions focus on history and theory as well as concrete research and mapping approaches and the resulting design applications. The case studies come from countries around Europe including Poland, Italy, Greece, Germany, and France, among others. The book will be of interest to students, scholars, and practitioners in architecture, urban planning, and landscape architecture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a state-of-the-art, comprehensive overview of the expanding field of urban biodiversity. The field of urban biodiversity has emerged from within the broad discipline of urban ecology in the past two decades and is now a significant field in its own right. In view of this, the Routledge Handbook of Urban Biodiversity presents a thorough treatment of this field detailing the history of urban biodiversity, theoretical foundations, current state of knowledge, and application of that knowledge. The handbook is split into four parts: Part I: Setting the Stage for Urban Biodiversity Research and Practice Part II: Foundational Concepts and Theory in Urban Biodiversity Research Part III: Population and Community Ecology of Key Urban Taxa Part IV: Urban Biodiversity Practice: Management, Planning, and Design for Healthy Communities This volume contains interdisciplinary and global contributions from established and early career academics as well as professionals and practitioners, addressing two key fields in urban biodiversity: fundamental research focused on answering questions about the mechanisms explaining the distribution of species among and within cities; and applied research and work by practitioners to address concerns about urban biodiversity conservation, restoration, planning, design, and public involvement. This handbook is essential reading for students, academics, and professionals interested and working in the fields of urban biodiversity, ecology, nature conservation, urban planning, and landscape architecture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses international Green Infrastructure (GI) planning and design strategies. The GI strategy is widely recognized for its multifunctionality (as a tool for ecological, economic and social enhancement) and multiscalarity. Starting from this assumption, the book intends to implement the concept of GI and blue networks in planning strategies and their linked urban projects. New urban and regional paradigms of the latest years, such as urban sprawl, ecosystem services, biodiversity, urban resilience, climate change and health emergencies, have made it necessary to rethink cities and territories and their related plans and projects. To satisfy these paradigms, worldwide plans and projects have started to focus both on short-term and long-term processes and strategies which integrate environmental, landscape and ecological elements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countering the phenomenon of sprawl in the often anonymous or chaotic urban periphery, the Oassis neighborhood in Lausanne takes a unique approach based on urbanity and hybridization. Located on a former industrial wasteland in the west of the city, Oassis reflects the compositional principles of the traditional city, while also engaging in the dynamics of ecological transition and climate resilience. This ‘urban fragment’ is both an urban fabric, compatible with future developments in the neighborhood, and an architectural object characterized by urbanity. The contemporary challenges of regenerating suburban areas are addressed here through diverse development programs and a profusion of gardens. Skilful combination of economic, ecological and social factors with high-quality architecture With unpublished documents and specially commissioned photographs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban logistics has been a subject of interest to researchers and practitioners for more than 20 years in France and Europe, and more than 40 in the United States. Nevertheless, the subject remains difficult to address by a lack of unification in the definitions and proposed methods but also by what makes its great richness: the diversity of actors and the pluridisciplinarity of the methods and techniques available. This book, which synthesizes more than 10 years of personal research on the subject, but also experience within different teams and projects, intends to bring a unified vision (and more and more followed at the international level) on logistics planning Urban development. It begins with an overview of research in urban logistics and then describes and defines the main components: flows, actors, infrastructures, management components, technologies, regulations and financing actions. A unified vision of these elements as well as the definition of sustainable urban logistics is proposed. Then, the book presents the basics of planning and managing sustainable urban logistics. First, the basics of the before-after analysis are introduced, not only for the experiments but also for the simulation of scenarios. To carry out this type of analysis, two main groups of methods are needed: methods for estimating flows and methods for calculating evaluation indicators. The book presents the main global standards and dominant models for the estimation of the urban freight transport demand, i.e. of freight transport needs in urban areas. Then it presents the methods for estimating and simulating transport and distribution schemes (i.e. transport supply) as well as a proposal for integrated supply-demand modeling. All these methods are presented for immediate application to practitioners, accompanied by summary tables and parameters necessary for their implementation. As far as evaluation is concerned, the book presents a framework for the choice of sustainable indicators and scorecards. Second, the main methods for economic, environmental, social and accessibility assessment are presented. They are accompanied by tables and figures necessary for their implementation. Finally, the main applications of the proposed methods are introduced. The book is meant to be a practical guide to applying the main methods from scientific research to a practical context, and presents examples of quantified and explained application. It is thus the first book that summarizes and presents the main unified methods to help the different decision-makers to implement them in their actions of planning and management of the urban logistics and the transport of goods in town.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quand près de la moitié de la population mondiale vit dans les grandes villes, la question se pose à propos de la nécessité de la nature dans les villes et la relation entre l'homme et la nature. La présence de la nature dans une ville démontre que les citadins ont besoin de lui et il est associé à des valeurs positives. Dans le chapitre intitulé L'étude de cohabitation "personnes - biodiversité" dans une ville, j'ai montré comment la biodiversité est intégrée dans la vie urbaine de la Ville de Paris et que les avantages, les contraintes et la pertinence de cette intégration sont. Il nous reste à demander sur la dynamique de l'espace et des espèces. Comment évoluent-ils? Comment faune et la flore se développent dans Paris? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous devons suivre l'évolution de la biodiversité de Paris en long terme et rendre les collections permanentes d'information dans le domaine afin d'identifier autant que possible la dynamique spatiale et temporelle des espèces. Il soulève également la question de savoir si Paris peut être considérée comme une ville ouverte ou pas? Ensuite, en ce qui concerne les corridors écologiques à Paris (réseau européen Natura 2000, appelé écran vert), la question est de savoir si ils peuvent remplir la fonction prévue, ils ont le potentiel pour diffuser différentes espèces sur le territoire de Paris. La question clé est de savoir si ces zones deviendront des points de communication entre la ville et la campagne, ou ils vont devenir plus utopie de la nature. When almost half the world's population lives in large cities, the question is raised about the need for nature in cities and the relationship between man and nature. The presence of nature in a city demonstrates that city dwellers have a need for it and it is associated with positive values. In the chapter called The study of cohabitation "people - biodiversity" in a town I showed how biodiversity is integrated into urban life of the City of Paris and what the benefits, relevance and constraints of this integration are. It remains for us to ask about the dynamics of space and species. How are they changing? How do fauna and flora develop in Paris? To answer these questions we need to follow the evolution of biodiversity of Paris in long term and make permanent collections of information in the field in order to identify as closely as possible spatial and temporal dynamics of species. It also raises the question if Paris can be seen as an open city or not? Then, as regards ecological corridors in Paris (European Natura 2000 network, called the "green screen"), the question is whether they can perform the intended function, they have the potential to disseminate different species on the territory of Paris. The key question is whether these areas will become points of communication between city and the countryside, or they will become more "utopia” of nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Côte d’Ivoire est en quête d’une stratégie de développement qui lui permettra d’atteindre le statut de pays à revenu intermédiaire, ce qui représente un défi qui nécessiterait un taux de croissance annuel de 10 % pendant plus de 13 ans. L’expérience des économies développées et émergentes démontre que le produit intérieur brut (PIB) par habitant augmente avec la progression de l’urbanisation. Néanmoins, l’économie de la Côte d’Ivoire affiche des performances insuffisantes sur le plan de l’urbanisation. L’urbanisation et le revenu par habitant ont une corrélation négative depuis la fin des années 1970, et la pauvreté augmente. Au lieu d’envisager le développement des villes individuellement, un plan d’urbanisation réussie devrait considérer les villes de la Côte d’Ivoire comme un portefeuille d’actifs qui se distinguent les uns des autres par leur taille, leur emplacement et la densité de leur population. Les auteurs de L’Urbanisation diversifiée : Le cas de la Côte d’Ivoire identifient trois types de villes, fondées sur leurs contributions à la croissance et à la création d’emplois : les connecteurs globaux ; les connecteurs régionaux, situées le long des corridors d’échanges et des transports régionaux ; et les connecteurs locaux, qui génèrent les économies de localisation nécessaires à l’agro-industrie. Les parties prenantes des administrations nationales et infranationales et du secteur privé ont formulé une vision commune de l’urbanisation en Côte d’Ivoire : « villes planifiées, structurées, compétitives, attractives, inclusives et organisées autour de pôles de développement ». Afin de réaliser cette vision et d’atteindre le statut de pays à revenu intermédiaire, les décideurs politique ivoiriens doivent agir de toute urgence pour promouvoir une urbanisation diversifiée pour tous les types de villes. Cette présente étude identifie des contraintes principales et des enjeux dans quatre domaines : la planification, les connexions, l’écologisation, et le financement des villes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chair on Ecodesign for buildings and infrastructures was created by ParisTech in partnership with VINCI with the aim of developing evaluation and simulation tools that integrate all ecodesign aspects (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions, impact on biodiversity, depletion of resources, etc.) and provide genuine decision-aid instruments, based on a scientific approach, to all those involved in the urban environment (i.e. designers, builders and users). The present book takes stock of five years of research under the Chair. It starts by presenting some methodological bases of ecodesign, life cycle assessments, impact studies, and methods for planning and transport. Several specific subjects are then covered, i.e. public transport, parking, road traffic, the environmental profile of building materials, building retrofits, energy management, and biodiversity. The last part of the book sets out how the knowledge and tools developed under the Chair were applied to a case study: Cité Descartes in Marne la Vallée (Ile de France). This work is aimed at urban planners, local authorities, contracting clients, architects, engineering firms, contractors, building managers, research lecturers, and anyone interested in the environmental quality of the places we live in.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legitimacy of environmental policies is an issue of increasing concern for analysts. Ecological stakes are deemed to be global, but global public decisions are rare and implemented with difficulty. Dissensus prevails on environmental ethics and there is little evidence of any greening of policy tools. The global framing of the environment fails to account for how people relate to the ecological realities which surround them. Rather than placing the environment at a distance, Politicization of Ecological Issues advocates for building legitimacy from people’s perceptions of singular forms and patterns in their environment. Based on scholarly literature in political ecology and empirical cases of water policy in Europe, the book shows how the qualification of environmental realities has been politicized and translated into motives for public action. Similarly, it argues that theoretical debates addressing the ecological crisis are not only dealing with ideas, but rather advocating for specific environmental forms that are deemed to be motives of hope or worry.

Book excerpt: Ever closer links have been forged between caring for nature on the one hand and human activities on the other. In recent years there has been a shift from an interest in reserve-based nature, which excluded man and human activities, to an increasingly powerful nature-culture relationship. Nature protection became nature conservation and then nature development with the integration of socio-economic and cultural aspects. Within the framework of the setting-up of the Pan-European Ecological Network, these sociological aspects have a great importance for establishing an ecological network where the scientific aspects of biodiversity protection must co-exist with nature management and development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the continual growth of the world's urban population, biodiversity in towns and cities will play a critical role in global biodiversity. This is the first book to provide an overview of international developments in urban biodiversity and sustainable design. It brings together the views, experiences and expertise of leading scientists and designers from the industrialised and pre-industrialised countries from around the world. The contributors explore the biological, cultural and social values of urban biodiversity, including methods for assessing and evaluating urban biodiversity, social and educational issues, and practical measures for restoring and maintaining biodiversity in urban areas. Contributions come from presenters at an international scientific conference held in Erfurt, Germany 2008 during the 9th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biodiversity. This is also Part of our Conservation Science and Practice book series (with Zoological Society of London).
