Download or read book Les nouveaux urbains dans l'espace Sahara-Sahel written by Elisabeth Boesen and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2007 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis plusieurs années, l'espace Sahara-Sahel a suscité un véritable intérêt de la part des médias. Cette région du monde est en effet devenue partie intégrante du paysage politique européen. Elle apparaît comme une frontière de plus en plus poreuse entre l'Afrique et l'Europe. Le premier mérite de cet ouvrage est d'attirer notre attention sur le fait que cet espace n'est pas seulement une zone de transit, mais une région habitée par des hommes. Et s'il y a un trait qui caractérise ses habitants, c'est bien leur mobilité. Ce trait justifie l'appellation d'" espace en mouvement" utilisée ici par plusieurs auteurs. Le fait d'en souligner l'unité historico-culturelle et socio-économique est une autre originalité de la publication. Cette idée d'unité contraste avec l'image, pourtant plus répandue, d'une région " entre-deux ", située entre les deux aires géographiques que sont l'Afrique du Nord et l'Afrique subsaharienne. A côté du trait commun de la mobilité, qui rend sujette à question la dichotomie supposée entre nomadisme et sédentarité, les différentes populations de cet espace sont liées en réalité par de multiples relations dans les domaines économique, politique et culturel. Aboutissement d'un colloque qui s'est tenu à Berlin en 2005, les contributions de cet ouvrage développent l'idée que l'unité de l'espace Sahara-Sahel se manifeste avant tout dans les centres urbains et à travers les interactions entre migrants et citadins sédentaires. Les auteurs se sont cependant concentrés sur certains des habitants de la ville, ceux dont le potentiel à façonner les formes urbaines est limité ou n'a pas encore été pris en considération par les chercheurs. Il s'agit notamment des femmes, des jeunes, des nouveaux arrivés ou des gens de passage. A côté des modalités du travail et d'habitation, l'intérêt a porté sur la différence ou l'étrangeté (Fremdheit), sur les manières de les vivre et de les représenter, ou bien de les dissimuler ou de les surmonter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La représentation que l’on se fait des déserts est souvent loin d’être exacte. Aussi, parler du Sahara revient-il très vite à confronter imaginaire et réel. Il faut pourtant se rendre à l’évidence : le Sahara contemporain est d’abord urbain, constellé de villes où se concentre la majeure partie des populations. Une situation dont on connaît encore mal le processus d’urbanisation et la genèse. Comment expliquer en effet que l’une des régions les plus arides du Sahara, carrefour ancien entre le Sahel et le Maghreb, compte aujourd’hui une ville de près de 150 000 habitants et un taux d’urbanisation dépassant les 90 % ? Est-ce essentiellement le fait de l’État libyen qui, riche de la rente des hydrocarbures, a voulu fixer les populations et « borner » ainsi le territoire national ? Et pourquoi une telle urbanisation, loin de péricliter après l’érosion de la rente pétrolière et de l’embargo des années 1990, enregistre-t-elle encore des rythmes de croissance aussi forts ? Comment expliquer aussi qu’un renouveau agricole du désert accompagne le processus d’urbanisation ? Quels en sont - dans le contexte actuel de désengagement étatique - les ressorts, les formes, les acteurs ? Par ailleurs, si l’urbanisation saharienne rime souvent avec l’anonymat, l’uniformité, elle est pourtant porteuse d’identités. Que dire des rapports sociaux qui se tissent dans les villes-carrefours cosmopolites par lesquels transitent les migrants africains, ainsi que dans les rubans oasiens remodelés par les pouvoirs publics ? Attentif aux Hommes, aux lieux, aux réseaux qui sous-tendent l’urbanisation saharienne, l’auteur fournit dans cette étude du Fezzan des clés de lecture pour comprendre les dynamiques qui touchent aujourd’hui le plus grand désert du monde.

Download or read book Sustainable Intercultural Urbanism at the Service of the African City of Tomorrow written by Esoh Elamé and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2022-06-03 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most African cities are human settlements that lack the systems needed for effective land use planning. In fact, the disorganization that prevails has become so complex that the concept of urbanism itself has been called into question. This book highlights the need to restore urban planning in African cities through sustainable development and interculturality. Furthermore, it addresses the balance of power between urban planning and sustainable development and explores the historical and postcolonial aspects of urban planning in African cities. A case study focusing on the development of sustainable cities and neighborhoods in the M'Zab Valley is also included, as well as topics such as urban greening, climatic threats and the problem of state agro-industrial land transactions, which compete with sustainable urban planning. Sustainable Intercultural Urbanism at the Service of the African City of Tomorrow is a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners interested in urban issues in African cities. These cities, in particular sub Saharan cities, have long been excluded from any discourse on sustainable cities and urban planning; this book places the focus on these cities and acknowledges their varied urban realities. The intention is to spark a new debate on sustainable urban planning in African cities based on intercultural sustainable urbanism, which is key to thinking about and building ecological, intercultural, compact, intelligent and postcolonial cities.

Download or read book The Global Horizon written by Knut Graw and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although contemporary migration in and from Africa can be understood as a continuation of earlier forms of interregional and international migration, current processes of migration seem to have taken on a new quality. This volume argues that one of the main reasons for this is the fact that local worlds are increasingly measured against a set of possibilities whose referents are global, not local. Due to this globalization of the personal and societal horizons of possibilities in Africa and elsewhere, in many contexts migration gains an almost inevitable attraction while, at the same time, actual migration becomes increasingly restricted.Based on detailed ethnographic accounts, the contributors to this volume focus on the imaginations, expectations, and motivations that propel the pursuit of migration. Decentering the focus of much of migration studies on the receiving societies, the volume foregrounds the subjective aspect of migration and explores the impact which the imagination and practice of migration have on the sociocultural conditions of the various local settings concerned.

Download or read book New and Renewable Technologies for Sustainable Development written by Naim Hamdia Afgan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable development encompasses economic, social, and ecological perspectives of conservation and change in natural resources. It is generally defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This definition is based on the ethical imperative of equity within and between generations. Moreover, apart from meeting; "the basic needs of all"; sustainable development implies sustaining the natural life support systems on Earth, and extending to all the opportunity to satisfy their aspirations for a better life. Hence, sustainable development is more precisely defined as a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development, and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspiration. To date, various definitions and stationary-state criteria of sustainability have been proposed. Many authors have been concerned with only part of the problem, such as the technological assumptions, the ability to substitute natural resources in economic transformation processes, and the resilience and importance of ecological processes. But, the social dimension did not receive the same attention, and has not been adequately integrated into formal analysis. The engineering community has to play an important role in sustainable development with appropriate evaluation of the engineering systems. In this respect energy, water and environment systems require multi-criteria evaluation methods for the assessment of the economic, environmental and social aspect of the systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book, which is jointly published by UN-HABITAT and the Università Iuav di Venezia, gives an account of different policies, practices and governance models that are addressing the issue of international migration in an urbanizing world. The book reviews the policies and practices of ten cities, including Bangkok, Berlin, Dakar, Johannesburg, Karachi, Naples, Sô Paulo, Tijuana, Vancouver and Vladivostok. Key issues of analysis include the impact of national policies on international migration, the role of migrants in the local economy, the relationship between local and migrant communities, and the migrants' use of urban space. It reveals the importance and the advantages of promoting communication between stakeholders and establishing channels for representation and participation of migrants in decisions affecting their livelihoods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often designated as 'illegal' immigrants, an African person who cannot speak an indigenous language is clearly foreign, a threat and thus a potential target for abuse. Such stereotyping helps create and reinforce a xenophobic climate. The papers in this book explore and attempt to understand the nature of the phenomenon. The disintegration of apartheid in the 1990s was accompanied by the scrapping of the whites-only immigration policy and thousands of Africans from the region and further north moved to South Africa. A feature of this immigration flow has been the number of immigrants and asylum seekers from francophone Africa. Unfortunately this has not been welcomed by a large part of the local population and xenophobia has become an increasingly serious issue.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the coup d???etat of 24 December 1999 and the politico-military conflict that started on 19 September 2002, C??te d???Ivoire broke with its tradition of political stability, which had served as a model in the West African sub-region. It is now facing an unprecedented crisis that is not only jeopardizing the continuity of the state, but has also introduced a culture of violence into the society. This study has three objectives. The primary one is to understand the nature of this socio-political crisis, and what is at stake in it. Secondly, the study examines the issue of ivoirit??. Finally, it explores the escalation of violence in this socio-political crisis and the catalogue of justifications for that violence.It is argued that the recurrence of military coups d???etat in C??te d???Ivoire signifies the delegitimization of the modes of regulation built on the tontine system, and calls for a renewal of the political grammar and socio-political regulatory modalities around integrating principles that have yet to be devised.
