This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aproximadamente el 80 por ciento de la población de América Latina se concentra en áreas urbanas. En consecuencia, la presión sobre los recursos hídricos y la gestión del agua en las ciudades representan grandes retos. Pese a la importancia de estos asuntos, ha habido una escasa cobertura sistemática de este tema en forma de libro. Este trabajo llena el vacío bibliográfico existente, proporcionando tanto panoramas temáticos como varios capítulos con estudios de caso. Este libro analiza aspectos clave de por qué el agua es importante para las ciudades y presenta estudios de caso en cuestiones como la gestión del agua subterránea, el crecimiento verde y los servicios de agua, las desigualdades en el suministro de agua, el financiamiento de los servicios de agua y la gestión de las inundaciones. Se presentan ejemplos detallados de Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, México y Perú, y se incluye un capítulo comparando las lecciones que se pueden aprender de las ciudades estadounidenses. Para poner los temas en un contexto global, los autores que han contribuido a este libro provienen tanto del interior como del exterior de la región, incluyendo al Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo, la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico y el Banco Mundial.

Book excerpt: "A viejos problemas, como la gran proporción de personas sin acceso al agua ni al saneamiento, o el aumento de la tierra de riego y su productividad, se han sumado otro nuevos, como acuíferos sobreexplotados, exportación de agua a través del intercambio comercial de frutas y hortalizas, urbanización y prácticas agrícolas que afectan las reservas de los acuíferos, y la cada vez más pobre calidad de las aguas superficiales. En este libro se sugiere que el problema del agua tiene cuatro facetas interrelacionadas: provisión, y saneamiento, agua como insumo natural, contaminación de embalses y riesgos causados por fenómeno hidrometeorológicos extremos, como sequías e inundaciones. Problemas que agravan el cambio climático y que primero debemos frenar, para luego adaptarnos a las nuevas condiciones. Todo ello aderezado por los conflictos que suscita la búsqueda de soluciones. Desde lo local hasta lo global, solucionar estos problemas, así como las fallas del mercado y de administración del agua y de la preservación del medio natural, se ha vuelto una necesidad ineludible, inevitable e impostergable. El libro es un amplio recorrido por la temática del agua, un intento relativamente profundo y riguroso de mostrar la necesidad de enfrentar el enorme reto de mantener el recurso hídrico en México como el patrimonio que es. Aborda tres temas generales: futuros del agua, donde se identifican retos y oportunidades; la gestión del agua, con varios ejemplos en distintos contextos, y lo relacionado con los problemas de administración, con trabajos que sugieren soluciones normativas y técnico-operativas. Esta compilación es el resultado de invitar a expertos con el fin de imaginar posibles situaciones y escudriñar en la incertidumbre de un futuro del agua que está por llegar, si bien para algunos ya nos ha rebasado. Los autores son especialistas en sus temas, con imaginación transdisciplinaria y capacidad analítica, lo que garantiza la calidad de los trabajos aquí publicados."--Cover page 4.

This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El agua es un derecho inalienable para todos los seres vivos del planeta, más, sin embargo, hoy en día es un bien mercantil que nos cuesta cada vez más obtenerla y de buena calidad a los seres más desfavorecidos que habitamos las periferias de las ciudades. Además de que cada día las luchas por el agua son de mayor intensidad, tal es el caso de las comunidades nahuas de la región cholulteca de Puebla, la lucha por el agua no ha terminado con la irrupción de la Guardia Nacional y de la policía del estado a la empresa Bonafont la cual hasta este momento estaba tomada por los pueblos afectados debido a la extracción ilegal de un millón 640 mil litros diarios de sus tierras. La gobernanza del agua se ha politizado en décadas recientes, al grado de generar conflictos, tal es el caso de la presa El Zapotillo (diseñada para abastecer de agua a la ciudad de León, Guanajuato, a la región de los Altos de Jalisco y la ciudad de Guadalajara). En este libro se ofrecen una serie de hipótesis sobre las posibles causas y consecuencias de la actual escasez, asimismo se ofrecen una serie de alternativas para mitigar los riesgos y desastres naturales ante los fenómenos de contingencia ambiental.

Download or read book Cities on a Finite Planet written by Sheridan Bartlett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities on a Finite Planet: Transformative responses to climate change shows how cities can combine high quality living conditions, resilience to climate change, disaster risk reduction and contributions to mitigation/low carbon development. It also covers the current and potential contribution of cities to avoiding dangerous climate change and is the first book with an in-depth coverage of how cities and their governments, citizens and civil society organizations can combine these different agendas, based on careful city-level analyses. The foundation for the book is detailed city case studies on Bangalore, Bangkok, Dar es Salaam, Durban, London, Manizales, Mexico City, New York and Rosario. Each of these was led by authors who contributed to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment and are thus acknowledged as among the world’s top specialists in this field. This book highlights where there is innovation and progress in cities and how this was achieved. Also where there is little progress and no action and where there is no capacity to act. It also assesses the extent to which cities can address the Sustainable Development Goals within commitments to also dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this, it highlights how much progress on these different agendas depends on local governments and their capacities to work with their low-income populations.

Download or read book Urban Policy in Latin America written by Michael Cohen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-26 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book evaluates the impact of 20 years of urban policies in six Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico. It argues that evaluating the fulfillment of past commitments is essential for framing and meeting the new commitments that were taken in Habitat III over the next 20 years. Taken as a whole, the book provides a critical assessment of the economic, social and environmental consequences of urban interventions during Habitat II. The country-level chapters have been written by recognized experts in urban issues, with first-hand knowledge of the Habitat process, and deep familiarity with the problems, statistics, actors and political contexts of their nations. The latter part of the volume considers wider topics such as the Habitat Commitment Index, the New Urban Agenda and the regional and global-scale lessons that can be extracted from this group of countries. Urban Policy in Latin America will be of interest to advanced students, researchers and policymakers across development economics, urban studies and Latin American studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes initiatives and concrete examples on sustainable food production worldwide. In the current world scenario, where nations all over the world are struggling to accomplish the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and to ensure sustainable patterns for all, this book provides a contribution towards a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the cross-cutting issues related to Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security. This interdisciplinary book supports the efforts to engage a commitment from all fields of science, to work together to provide knowledge that could help to address SDG2 (No hunger) and lead to the promotion of quality of life, by means of a more sustainable food production, and improved food security. This book is expected to fill the gap of publications in this field. It gives a special emphasis to a state-of-the-art descriptions of approaches, methods, initiatives and projects from universities, stakeholders, organizations and civil society across the world, regarding cross-cutting issues in sustainable food production. It includes examples of policies and practices case studies, examples of projects, institutional policies, innovative methods and tools and research outputs, which highlight the interdependence between sustainable agriculture and food security issues. It is expected that the “Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security” will make the many benefits of sustainable food production clearer and, inter alia, lead to an increase in the emphasis provided to this central theme.

This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to initiate among students and other readers critical and interdisciplinary reflections on key problems concerning development, gender relations, peace and environment, with a special emphasis on North-South relations. This volume offers a selection of the author's research in different parts of the world during 50 years of contributing to an interdisciplinary scientific debate and addressing social answers to urgent global problems. After the author's biography and bibliography, the second part analyses the development processes of several countries in the South that resulted in a dynamic of underdevelopment. The deep-rooted gender discrimination is also reflected in the destructive exploitation of natural resources and the pollution of soils, water and air. Since the beginning of the Anthropocene in the mid-20th century, the management of human society and global resources has been unsustainable and has created global environmental change and multiple conflicts over scarce and polluted resources. Peace and development policies aiming at gender equity and sustainable environmental management, where water and food are crucial for the survival of humankind, focus on systemic alternatives embedded in a path of sustainability transition. • This book reviews multiple influences from Europe, Africa and Latin America on a leading social scientist and activist on gender, development and environment aiming at a world with equity, sustainability, peace and harmony between nature and humans.• This pioneer volume analyses social and environmental conflicts and peace processes in Latin America, with a special focus on Mexico, by addressing the development of under-development, global environmental change, poverty, nutrition and the North-South gap.• This volume focuses on environmental deterioration with a special emphasis on food and water and proposes systemic changes towards a sustainability transition with peace, regional development and gender equity.• This pioneering work offers alternative approaches to regional development, food sovereignty and holistic development processes from a gender perspective.

This book was released on 2009-06-04 with total page 1546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 2007 could perhaps accurately be described as the year when climate change finally received the attention that this challenge deserves globally. Much of the information and knowledge that was created in this field during the year was the result of the findings of the Fourth - sessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which were disseminated on a large scale and reported extensively by the media. This was the result not only of a heightened interest on the part of the public on various aspects of climate change, but also because the IPCC itself proactively attempted to spread the findings of its AR4 to the public at large. The interest generated on the scientific realities of climate change was further enhanced by the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the IPCC and former Vice President of the US, Al Gore. By taking this decision in favour of a leader who has done a great deal to create awareness on c- mate change, and a body that assesses all scientific aspects of climate change and disseminates the result of its findings, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has clearly drawn the link between climate change and peace in the world.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Urban Resilience written by Michael A. Burayidi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-27 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a comprehensive discussion and overview of urban resilience, including socio-ecological and economic hazard and disaster resilience. It provides a summary of state of the art thinking on resilience, the different approaches, tools and methodologies for understanding the subject in urban contexts, and brings together related reflections and initiatives. Throughout the different chapters, the handbook critically examines and reviews the resilience concept from various disciplinary and professional perspectives. It also discusses major urban crises, past and recent, and the generic lessons they provide for resilience. In this context, the authors provide case studies from different places and times, including historical material and contemporary examples, and studies that offer concrete guidance on how to approach urban resilience. Other chapters focus on how current understanding of urban systems – such as shrinking cities, green infrastructure, disaster volunteerism, and urban energy systems – are affecting the capacity of urban citizens, settlements and nation-states to respond to different forms and levels of stressors and shocks. The handbook concludes with a synthesis of the state of the art knowledge on resilience and points the way forward in refining the conceptualization and application of urban resilience. The book is intended for scholars and graduate students in urban studies, environmental and sustainability studies, geography, planning, architecture, urban design, political science and sociology, for whom it will provide an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current approaches across these disciplines that converge in the study of urban resilience. The book also provides important direction to practitioners and civic leaders who are engaged in supporting cities and regions to position themselves for resilience in the face of climate change, unpredictable socioenvironmental shocks and incremental risk accumulation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, roughly half of the world's population lives in urban centers. There are now more than 20 cities with a population of over 10 million inhabitants, compared to less than 5 about 50 years ago. This tendency toward urbanization is expected to continue, particularly in the developing world. A consequence of this growing trend is that millions of people are being exposed to harmful levels of urban air pollutants caused mainly by emissions from motor vehicles and from industrial and domestic activities involving the combustion of fossil fuels. The driving force for the design and implementation of emission control strate gies aimed at improving air quality has been the protection of the health of the population in urban centers. There are, however, other consequences of the pres ence of air pollutants besides the direct effect on human health. Reduced visibil ity, damage to monuments and buildings, and many other such consequences indirectly affect our quality of life. Another set of consequences involves damage to ecological systems. In fact, the nature of "photochemical smog" was first uncovered in the 1950s in connection with observations of its harmful effects on crops and plants in the vicinity of Los Angeles.
