Book Synopsis Planning and Design Perspectives for Land Take Containment by : Benedetta Giudice
Download or read book Planning and Design Perspectives for Land Take Containment written by Benedetta Giudice and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide a framework for the concept of land take, the practice by which natural lands are lost to artificial land development practices, and present its ecological implications in urban environments. In particular, the book intends to contextualize land take and its ecological implications in the field of planning through the analysis of the evolution of the relationship that exists between ecology and urban and regional planning, with case studies focusing on cities in Europe. Urban and regional planning (specifically in terms of tools, policies and strategies) play a central role in the redevelopment of this relationship, and through this perspective the text explores some operational criteria and guiding strategies for the creation of innovative scenarios of planning and design. The book is indeed mainly based upon an ecological planning-oriented perspective, with the attempt of creating a strong link between the plan and the project that will be useful for students, researchers, policy makers, and urban planners and designers.
Book Synopsis Governance and City Regions by : Karsten Zimmermann
Download or read book Governance and City Regions written by Karsten Zimmermann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: City-regions are areas where the daily journeys for work, shopping and leisure frequently cross administrative boundaries. They are seen as engines of the national economy, but are also facing congestion and disparities. Thus, all over the world, governments attempt to increase problem-solving capacities in city-regions by institutional reform and a shift of functions. This book analyses the recent reforms and changes in the governance of city-regions in France, Germany and Italy. It covers themes such as the impact of austerity measures, territorial development, planning and state modernisation. The authors provide a systematic cross-country perspective on two levels, between six city-regions and between the national policy frameworks in these three countries. They use a solid comparative framework, which refers to the four dimensions functions, institutions and governance, ideas and space. They describe the course of the reforms, the motivations and the results, and consequently, they question the widespread metropolitan fever or resurgence of city-regions and provide a better understanding of recent changes in city-regional governance in Europe. The primary readership will be researchers and master students in planning, urban studies, urban geography, political science and governance studies, especially those interested in metropolitan regions and / or decentralisation. Due to the uniqueness of the work, the book will be of particular interest to scholars working on the comparative European dimension of territorial governance and planning.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook of Small Towns by : Jerzy Bański
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Small Towns written by Jerzy Bański and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Small Towns addresses the theoretical, methodical, and practical issues related to the development of small towns and neighbouring countryside. Small towns play a very important role in spatial structure by performing numerous significant developmental functions for rural areas. At the local scale, they act as engines for economic growth of rural regions and as a link in the system of connections between large urban centres and the countryside. The book addresses the role of small towns in the local development of regions in countries with different levels of development and economic systems, including those in Europe, Africa, South America, Asia, and Australia. Chapters address the functional structure of small towns, relations between small towns and rural areas, and the challenges of spatial planning in the context of shaping the development of small towns. Students and scholars of urban planning, urban geography, rural geography, political geography, historical geography, and population geography will learn about the role of small towns in the local development of countries representing different economic systems and developmental conditions.

Book Synopsis The Transition Handbook by : Rob Hopkins
Download or read book The Transition Handbook written by Rob Hopkins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-02-25 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Move from feeling anxious about the oil crisis to developing a positive visions and taking traction action to create a more self-reliant existence with this ground-breaking book. We live in an oil-dependent world, and have become reliant in a very short space of time, using vast reserves of oil in the process – and without planning for when the supply is not so plentiful. Most of us avoid thinking about what happens when the oil runs out (or becomes prohibitively expensive), but the reality may not be as bad as we think. The Transition Handbook shows how the inevitable and profound changes ahead could have a positive effect. Written by permaculture expert Rob Hopkins, he discusses the possibility of a rebirth of local communities, which will generate their own fuel, food and housing. These will encourage the development of local currencies, to keep money in the local area, and unleash a local 'skilling-up', so that people have more control over their lives. The growth in interest in the Transition model continues to be exponential. There are now more than 35 formal Transition Initiatives in the UK, including towns, cities, islands, villages and peninsulas, with more joining as the idea takes off. With little proactivity at government level, communities are taking matters into their own hands and acting locally. If your community has not yet become a Transition Initiative, this upbeat guide, filled with beautiful black and white photographs, offers you the tools to get started. The Transition Handbook is the perfect manual to guide communities, as they begin this 'energy descent' journey.

Book Synopsis Rural Transformations by : Holly Barcus
Download or read book Rural Transformations written by Holly Barcus and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the transformation of rural places, peoples, and land endemic to the contemporary manifestations of globalization. Migration, global economic restructuring, and climate change are rapidly transforming rural places across the globe. Yet, global attention characteristically focuses on urban social and economic issues, neglecting the continued roles of rural people and places. Organized around the three core themes of demographic change, rural-urban partnerships and innovations, and landscape change, the case studies included in this volume represent both the Global North and Global South and underscore the complexity and multi-scalar nature of these contemporary challenges in rural development, planning, and sustainability. This book would be valuable supplementary reading for both students and professionals in the fields of rural land management and rural planning.
Book Synopsis Le temps long de Clairvaux by : Arnaud Baudin
Download or read book Le temps long de Clairvaux written by Arnaud Baudin and published by Somogy éditions d'art. This book was released on 2017 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Fondée par saint Bernard en 1115, l’abbaye de Clairvaux connut un rayonnement extraordinaire dans l’Occident médiéval et donna naissance à la branche la plus féconde de l’ordre de Cîteaux, avec plus de 360 maisons d’hommes. Entièrement rebâti au XVIIIe siècle, le monastère fut supprimé en 1790, ses bâtiments vendus comme biens nationaux puis transformés en maison centrale de détention en 1811. Malgré la richesse de ce passé, l’abbaye demeura pourtant dans l’ombre de son fondateur jusqu’à la création de l’association Renaissance de l’abbaye de Clairvaux en 1979, puis l’organisation du premier colloque sur l’histoire de Clairvaux en 1990. Vingt-cinq ans après, le neuvième centenaire de l’abbaye constitue une nouvelle étape dans la production historiographique claravallienne comme en témoigne la publication des Actes de ce deuxième colloque organisé à Troyes et à Clairvaux du 16 au 18 juin 2015. À travers une vingtaine d’essais répartis en quatre axes principaux, les auteurs dressent un bilan des dernières recherches de ce Temps long de Clairvaux et jettent les bases des études à venir : des îles Britanniques au Portugal, en passant par la Catalogne et la Sicile, ils nous conduisent le long de ce rameau si fertile ; de la porterie de l’abbaye-mère aux confins de la Transylvanie, ils racontent l’intégration des moines blancs dans le monde des campagnes et des villes ; de la bibliothèque du monastère aux créations de Le Corbusier, ils interrogent la culture de Clairvaux et l’existence, réelle ou imaginaire, d’un « art cistercien » ; enfin, du XVe au XVIIe siècle, ils nous présentent les figures de deux abbés entraînés dans la tourmente du Grand Schisme et des écueils de la commende."
