Book excerpt: Ce travail s'inscrit dans les enjeux actuels liés à l'environnement urbain ; il vise à définir ce qu'est un écoquartier, à partir de l'étude de projets de référence en premier lieu mais surtout à partir de l'opérationnalité et ses contraintes spécifiques; Dans ce cadre pratique l'évaluation environnementale se positionne au cœur de l'opérationnalité comme un outil d'aide à la décision essentiel pour les acteurs de la conception de la ville face aux préoccupations du développement urbain durable. La finalité est de proposer une méthode d'évaluation environnementale des écoquartiers pour un projet urbain en phase esquisse (AVP).Cette thèse, encadrée dans une convention CIFRE avec l'entreprise Nobatek (Centre technologique sur la construction et l'aménagement durable) et le laboratoire GRECAU (Groupe de recherche environnement conception architecturale et urbaine), propose une analyse de la pratique urbaine, l'identification des besoins en termes d'outils pour la construction d'un projet urbain à l'échelle du quartier et propose un outil d'évaluation environnementale. L'objectif est une recherche appliquée à l'opérationnalité du projet urbain.La première partie établit les enjeux liés à l'urbanisme et propose une étude historique des modèles urbains pour la ville idéale. Il y est proposé un regard sur les principes et évolutions de la notion de ville idéale afin de situer et comprendre la notion de ville durable. La deuxième partie établit la pertinence du quartier comme une échelle d'expérimentation, propose une définition de l'écoquartier et analyse certains cas de référence à travers leurs typologies, leur forme urbaine et leurs réponses techniques. La troisième partie propose un éclairage général sur différents outils d'analyse des processus de conception et d'évaluation des écoquartiers. Cette analyse souligne notamment la non existence de l'outil absolu, et conclue au besoin de développer des outils d'évaluation en complément des outils d'aide à la conception déjà existant. Une analyse des systèmes d'indicateurs est proposée, elle permet de montrer l'utilité de ces approches dans le contexte d'un projet urbain. La quatrième partie propose une analyse de la pratique opérationnelle du contexte français et propose une approche opérationnelle de mise en œuvre d'un écoquartier. Cette dernière introduit le développement de l'outil d'évaluation NEST qui a constitué la partie finale de ce travail. L'outil s'appuie sur la technique d'analyse de cycle de vie (ACV) pour évaluer les impacts environnementaux du quartier. Pour cela les éléments physiques du quartier (bâtiments, espaces publics, espaces verts, infrastructure), tels que définis dans une phase précoce du projet urbain (phase AVP), sont intégrés dans l'outil. Il calcule alors 7 indicateurs environnementaux pour évaluer le projet, ces résultats étant rapportés à l'usager du quartier pour en assimiler toute l'importance. Dans cette dernière partie une expérimentation opérationnelle de la démarche proposée et de l'outil d'évaluation est présentée sur la ZAC de Kleber à Biarritz pour montrer l'apport de l'outil pour une conception des projets urbains dans l'objectif de constituer un écoquartier. Introduire le concept de développement durable dans l'urbanisme demande, en plus d'une approche environnementale, sociale et économique, une compréhension technique de la ville et de ses composants urbains, comme un système fermé qui consomme des ressources et en cela génère un impact. Comprendre la ville comme un système pour établir des objectifs et des stratégies pour arriver à transformer la ville en une ville durable demande l'implication des acteurs de la décision, de la conception et de l'usage de la ville.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of renewable energies and energy saving and efficiency are needs of global society and universities. Universities have a large responsibility and social impact, as they are an example and engine of social change. Universities, in the European context, must be at the forefront of ESA processes, seeking to be at the same level as, and preferably higher than, the rest of society, seeking a goal of 20% renewable energy for 2020 and, in the longer term, greater energy efficiency based on a diverse use of renewable energy and studying the feasibility of other energy processes (cogeneration, trigeneration, etc.). The application of renewable energies and energy efficiency allow universities to make significant savings in their costs and contribute to sustainable development and the fight against climate change. Actions in pursuit of these goals in addition to the objective of energy saving should promote research and form an example for the university community. This book aims to advance the contribution of energy saving and the use of renewable energies in order to achieve more sustainable universities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le constat de la responsabilité humaine sur le changement climatique est largement partagé. La création d'écoquartiers est une des conclusions du Grenelle de l'Environnement. Le constat de la responsabilité humaine sur le changement climatique est largement partagé, et un besoin de plus en plus urgent se fait sentir quant à la mise en place de stratégies d'aménagement du territoire et d'intégration de tous les enjeux du développement durable dans chacun des projets urbains - notamment à l'échelle du quartier. En l'absence de définition et de cadre méthodologique ou de référentiel proposés par les pouvoirs publics, les auteurs, qui travaillent sur l'intégration du développement durable à l'échelle du quartier et les quartiers durables depuis 1997, souhaitent contribuer efficacement à la conception et à la mise en oeuvre de ces écoquartiers. Après avoir proposé un cadre méthodologique pour mettre en oeuvre des démarches de développement durable aux différentes échelles de territoire (du bâtiment jusqu'à celle de la ville) et dressé un panorama thématique des bonnes pratiques (gestion du sol, aménagement des espaces publics, gestion de l'eau et des déchets, énergie, déplacements, etc.), qui sont essentielles à la conception d'un écoquartier, les auteurs abordent dans cet ouvrage l'échelle du quartier de manière opérationnelle et concrète. Après un bref état de l'art sur les différentes démarches existantes en France, ce livre donne des outils à la fois conceptuels, méthodologiques et opérationnels aux élus et aux professionnels de l'aménagement urbain pour la conception et la mise en oeuvre de projets de quartier durable ou d'écoquartier : des définitions ou éléments méthodologiques indispensables à la culture commune qui favorisera la transversalité, des éléments concrets facilitant la rédaction des cahiers des charges performanciels indispensables à (l'amélioration de) la qualité de vie dans ces quartiers, une charte de développement durable qui peut servir de base à la charte de tout nouveau projet d'écoquartier, des méthodes et des outils d'évaluation des projets et des quartiers et notamment des indicateurs, comme préconisé lors du Grenelle de l'Environnement. Cette approche pragmatique a pour objectif d'aider tous ceux qui ont la volonté de mettre en oeuvre une démarche de développement durable dans un projet d'écoquartier à passer des bonnes pratiques thématiques (notamment environnementales) à de véritables stratégies territoriales et patrimoniales et à contribuer ainsi à la durabilité de la ville.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La démarche HQE, puis l'émergence rapide et incontrôlée d'une volonté de "développement durable" dans le domaine de la construction, sont à l'origine de nouvelles exigences d'aménagement urbain. Or la prise en compte de ce concept requiert une analyse holistique d'un projet urbain. Cela nécessite une échelle d'étude plus large que celle du bâtiment. Ce travail concerne la mise en place d'une méthode d'analyse multi indicateurs basée sur huit objectifs à l'échelle du quartier. La méthode développée est une contribution au projet national initié par le Ministère de l'Equipement et l'ADEME : le projet ADEQUA. La quantification des indicateurs associés aux objectifs permet au professionnel de la construction, l'aménageur ou la collectivité, d'évaluer quantitativement et de comparer différentes alternatives d'aménagement d'un quartier, à l'aide de diagrammes radars. Cette quantification est basée sur l'utilisation d'outils de simulation et sur une agrégation multicritères.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introduction to institutional economics, follows the history of the field since the early 20th century until the present day. It concentrates on influential authors in the main schools of institutional economics. Institutional economics is defined as economic thought that considers institutions to be relevant for economic theory, and consequently criticizes the neoclassical mainstream for having pushed them out of the discipline; it deals specially with the nature, the origin, the change of institutions, and their effects on economic performance. It is a family of different theories that were initially influential in economics, then lost much of their weight in the middle half of the 20th century, and eventually recovered significant creative vitality and impact in the last twenty years. The book puts the recent developments in historical perspective by showing how important themes like the importance of habits, the role of formal and informal rules, the relation of organizations and institutions, the hierarchy and complementarity of institutions, the evolutionary character of institutional change, have been explored by various authors or schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine the twentieth century without photography and film. Its history would be absent of images that define historical moments and generations: the death camps of Auschwitz, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the Apollo lunar landing. It would be a history, in other words, of just artists’ renderings and the spoken and written word. To inhabitants of the twenty-first century, deeply immersed in visual culture, such a history seems insubstantial, imprecise, and even, perhaps, unscientific. Documenting the World is about the material and social life of photographs and film made in the scientific quest to document the world. Drawing on scholars from the fields of art history, visual anthropology, and science and technology studies, the chapters in this book explore how this documentation—from the initial recording of images, to their acquisition and storage, to their circulation—has altered our lives, our ways of knowing, our social and economic relationships, and even our surroundings. Far beyond mere illustration, photography and film have become an integral, transformative part of the world they seek to show us.

Book excerpt: Examines the culture, politics, and history of the movement for environmental justice in New York City, tracking activism in four neighborhoods on issues of public health, garbage, and energy systems in the context of privatization, deregulation, and globalization. Racial minority and low-income communities often suffer disproportionate effects of urban environmental problems. Environmental justice advocates argue that these communities are on the front lines of environmental and health risks. In Noxious New York, Julie Sze analyzes the culture, politics, and history of environmental justice activism in New York City within the larger context of privatization, deregulation, and globalization. She tracks urban planning and environmental health activism in four gritty New York neighborhoods: Brooklyn's Sunset Park and Williamsburg sections, West Harlem, and the South Bronx. In these communities, activism flourished in the 1980s and 1990s in response to economic decay and a concentration of noxious incinerators, solid waste transfer stations, and power plants. Sze describes the emergence of local campaigns organized around issues of asthma, garbage, and energy systems, and how, in each neighborhood, activists framed their arguments in the vocabulary of environmental justice. Sze shows that the linkage of planning and public health in New York City goes back to the nineteenth century's sanitation movement, and she looks at the city's history of garbage, sewage, and sludge management. She analyzes the influence of race, family, and gender politics on asthma activism and examines community activists' responses to garbage privatization and energy deregulation. Finally, she looks at how activist groups have begun to shift from fighting particular siting and land use decisions to engaging in a larger process of community planning and community-based research projects. Drawing extensively on fieldwork and interviews with community members and activists, Sze illuminates the complex mix of local and global issues that fuels environmental justice activism.

Book excerpt: Design is a conceptive activity which is usually presented as a sensible, sequential process and action. This book claims that design cannot be reduced to the rational, effective planning and organization that most models (such as design thinking) present. The author suggests another type of rationality which is based on what the humanities call aesthetics, writing, composition, and style: a rationality based in imaginary elaboration and coherence. The chapters, therefore, demonstrate that design practice is about creating not only functional tools, but planes of reflections that challenge norms. To support this claim, this book analyzes research programs, art works, and design projects that produced new information and communication technologies (ICT). This is detailed using examples in each chapter. From these examples, two types of conclusions are derived: a first level considers the lessons that we can draw from these examples in terms of design practice while the second level starts a theoretical discussion based on these analyses of use cases. The goal is to develop an understanding of conception in its different forms. This book brings the use of these neglected methods to the foreground as a way to explicate the design process. Taking into consideration the humanities within design contributes to the discussion on pluridisciplinarity. The book posits that design as a historical and situated activity is a truly multidisciplinary endeavor that bridges the gap between engineering sciences and the humanities.

Book excerpt: An invaluable resource for designing communities that accommodate social diversity and provide equitable opportunities for all residents. Inclusive Housing focuses on housing that provides access to people with disabilities while benefiting all residents and that incorporates inclusive design practices into neighborhood and housing designs without compromising other important design goals. Emphasizing urban patterns of neighborhood development, the practices outlined here are useful for application to all kinds of housing in all types of neighborhoods. The book addresses trends that have widespread significance in the residential construction market and demonstrates that accessible housing design is compatible with the goals of developing livable and healthy neighborhoods, reducing urban sprawl, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, and ensuring that the benefits of thoughtful urban design are equitably distributed. Inclusive Housing recognizes that to achieve the goals of urbanism, we must consider the total picture. The house must fit on the lot; the lot must fit in the block; and the block must fit with the character of the neighborhood. Its context-sensitive approach uses examples that cover a wide range of housing types, styles, and development densities. Rather than present stock solutions that ignore the context of real projects and design goals, it explores how accessibility can be achieved in different types of neighborhoods and housing forms, all with the goal of achieving high-quality urban places.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The capability approach has developed significantly since Amartya Sen was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998. It is now recognised as being highly beneficial in the analysis of poverty and inequality, but also in the redefinition of policies aimed at improving the well-being of individuals. The approach has been applied within numerous sectors, from health and education to sustainable development, but beyond the obvious interest that it represents for the classical economics tradition, it has also encountered certain limitations. While acknowledging the undeniable progress that the approach has made in renewing the thinking on the development and well-being of a population, this book takes a critical stance. It focuses particularly on the approach’s inadequacy vis-à-vis the continental phenomenological tradition and draws conclusions about the economic analysis of development. In a more specific sense, it highlights the fact that the approach is too bound by standard economic logic, which has prevented it from taking account of a key ‘person’ dimension — namely, the ability of an individual to assume responsibility. As a result, this book advocates the notion that if the approach is used carelessly in relation to development policies, it can cause a number of pernicious effects, some of which may lead to disastrous consequences. Due to its multidisciplinary nature, this book will be of interest to those working in the fields of economics, philosophy, development studies and sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While environmentalists insist that lower rates of consumption of natural resources are essential for a sustainable future, many economists dismiss the notion that resource limits act to constrain modern, creative societies. The conflict between these views tinges political debate at all levels and hinders our ability to plan for the future. Supply-Side Sustainability offers a fresh approach to this dilemma by integrating ecological and social science approaches in an interdisciplinary treatment of sustainability. Written by two ecologists and an anthropologist, this book discusses organisms, landscapes, populations, communities, biomes, the biosphere, ecosystems and energy flows, as well as patterns of sustainability and collapse in human societies, from hunter-gatherer groups to empires to today's industrial world. These diverse topics are integrated within a new framework that translates the authors' advances in hierarchy and complexity theory into a form useful to professionals in science, government, and business. The result is a much-needed blueprint for a cost-effective management regime, one that makes problem-solving efforts themselves sustainable over time. The authors demonstrate that long-term, cost-effective resource management can be achieved by managing the contexts of productive systems, rather than by managing the commodities that natural systems produce.
