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.

Download or read book Human Geography written by Georges Benko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Human Geography' examines the major trends, debates, research and conceptual evolution of human geography during the twentieth century. Considering each of the subject's primary subfields in turn, it addresses developments in both continental European and Anglo-American geography, providing a cutting-edge evaluation of each. Written clearly and accessibly by leading researchers, the book combines historical astuteness with personal insights and draws on a range of theoretical positions. A central theme of the book is the relative decline of the traditional subdisciplines towards the end of the twentieth century, and the continuing movement towards interdisciplinarity in which the various strands of human geography are seen as inextricably linked. This stimulating and exciting new book provides a unique insight into the study of geography during the twentieth century, and is essential reading for anyone studying the history and philosophy of the subject.

Book Synopsis Forms of Experienced Environments by : Nathalie Blanc
Download or read book Forms of Experienced Environments written by Nathalie Blanc and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores ‘environmental forms’ in terms of their relationships to the socio-politico-ecological transformations currently in progress. Today, the environment is a central theme in political discourse, scientific work and everyday life. It is multi-dimensional: it is a living space, a socio-ecological system and a field of research and action. However, despite the presence and diversity of existing approaches, the ways in which policies address environmental issues remain mainly focused on control, highlighting the techno-ecological, managerial and curative dimensions of public actions. Although public action tends to instrumentalise the environment, the humanities and social sciences have initiated significant reflections in this field, proposing alternative ways of thinking about the environment in its multiple aspects and scales. As part of ‘another approach’ to the environment that mirrors contemporary developments, this book adopts a form-based approach which has been largely neglected by previous studies dealing with environmental themes. The analyses provided here will open up a new perspective on the relationships between people, aesthetics and environments, and are drawn from different schools of research, highlighting the huge potential of reading the environment through forms or, conversely, a reading of environmental forms.

Book Synopsis Development and Territorial Restructuring in an Era of Global Change by : Elisabeth Peyroux
Download or read book Development and Territorial Restructuring in an Era of Global Change written by Elisabeth Peyroux and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking about development and the environment simultaneously is one of the biggest scientific and societal challenges of the 21st century. Understanding the interactions between biophysical systems and human activities in an era of global change requires overcoming disciplinary divides and opening up new epistemological perspectives. This book explores these challenges using a territorial lens. Combining various scales of analyses (from global to local) and contexts (both urban and rural) in the North and in the South, it analyzes the relationships between environment and development through a variety of geographical objects (i.e. cities, rural and agricultural areas, coastlines, watershed), themes (i.e. ecological transitions, food, energy, transport, agriculture, mining activities) and methodologies (i.e. qualitative and quantitative approaches, modeling, in situ measurements). By engaging in a dialogue between social science and natural science disciplines, within different fields and with a variety of forms of knowledge production, this book provides essential information for understanding and reading the complexity of a globalized world. This book is targeted at academics and students in social sciences and at stakeholders in the field of territorial and environmental management.

Book Synopsis Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events by : Isabelle La Jeunesse
Download or read book Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events written by Isabelle La Jeunesse and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides an understanding of the relationship between social-ecological systems and multilevel governance so that readers can properly deal with hydrometeorological extreme events and hazards Based on field investigations from EU research projects, this book is the first to devote itself to scientific and policy-related knowledge concerning climate change-induced extreme events. It depicts national and international strategies, as well as tools used to improve multilevel governance for the management of hydrometeorological risks. It also demonstrates how these strategies play out over different scales of the decision-making processes. Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events: A Governance Issue offers comprehensive coverage of such events as floods, droughts, coastal storms, and wind storms. It showcases real-life success stories of multilevel governance and highlights the individuals involved and the resources mobilized in the decision-making processes. The book starts by presenting a synthesis of hydrometeorological extreme events and their impacts on society. It then demonstrates how societies are organizing themselves to face these extreme events, focusing on the strategies of integration of risk management in governance and public policy. In addition, it includes the results of several EU-funded projects such as CLIMB, STARFLOOD, and INTERREG IVB project DROP. The first book dedicated to hydrometeorological extreme events governance based on field investigations from EU research projects Offers a “multi-hazards” approach—mixing policy, governance, and field investigations’ main outputs Features the results of EU-funded projects addressing hydrometeorological extreme events Part of the Hydrometeorological Extreme Events series Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events is an ideal book for upper-graduate students, postgraduates, researchers, scientists, and policy-makers working in the field.
Book Synopsis Green Infrastructure by : Benedetta Giudice
Download or read book Green Infrastructure written by Benedetta Giudice and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 187 pages. 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.

Book Synopsis Global and Local in Algeria and Morocco by : James McDougall
Download or read book Global and Local in Algeria and Morocco written by James McDougall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together contributors across the disciplines to examine the local, national, regional and global processes that have shaped Maghribi societies, economies and politics since the colonial period. Focusing equally on the local shape of global processes and on the broader significance of particular ‘ways of doing things’, these studies move beyond generalisations about globalisation and its impact on local societies, whether developmental or detrimental, of the ‘global in the local’, or of ‘glocalisation’. Cases range from the onset of the ‘first wave’ of globalisation in the colonial era to the most recent developments in identity politics, consumerism, and telecommunications. Contributors show how nationalising and globalising influences are seized, remade, and put to work in very different ways by High Atlas farmers or urban real estate speculators, human rights activists at the edge of the Sahara and amateur theatre actors in Mediterranean towns. Always located somewhere, these social actors nonetheless act in different ways, with different effects, at different levels of engagement, whether with each other, their own governments, or the wider world. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of North African Studies.
