Book Description
Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Book Description
Les recherches menées par l'auteur durant plus de vingt ans sur l'évolution des territoires l'ont conduit à présenter la culture comme le premier élément à considérer dans le développement urbain ou rural, car elle intègre le respect de l'histoire et le sens du lieu, le patrimoine sous toutes ses formes et les pratiques des habitants. Il a observé que les projets de nature culturelle provoquent des réactions intangibles qui ne sont pas toujours prises en compte dans le développement des territoires. A une époque où les villes et les régions sont en concurrence, la beauté d'un lieu, la fierté et le sentiment d'appartenance qui en découlent sont des facteurs de développement. L'auteur démontre, à travers l'histoire de la revitalisation du quartier Saint-Roch et six histoires de cas, la pertinence du recours à une stratégie culturelle, car elle stimule la créativité, l'innovation et la mobilisation des acteurs locaux.

Book Description
La culture occupe un rôle clé dans le développement local. Outre sa participation à la vie économique en tant que domaine d'activité, la culture nourrit et oriente le développement local en tant qu'elle façonne notre rapport au monde et nos modes de vie. Nos pratiques et nos droits culturels constituent nos ressources pour nous épanouir, nous ouvrir aux autres et nous réinventer collectivement. Les enjeux de la culture au coeur du développement local sont plus que vastes : au-delà de la transition écologique, ils vont de la gouvernance et la culture démocratique à l'expérimentation de modèles économiques innovants, en passant par la transition numérique et les territoires intelligents ouverts et inclusifs. A tous niveaux, c'est bien notre culture qui nous permet de participer à la transformation de notre environnement économique, écologique et politique. Ce livre rappelle les textes légaux et conventionnels plaçant la culture au coeur du développement durable. Il présente l'outil de l'Agenda 21 de la culture, des ressources pour sa mise en oeuvre y compris l'évaluation, et des retours d'expériences sur 4 thèmes clés : gouvernance, éducation populaire, présences d'artistes et tiers-lieux culturels. A la fois théorique et pratique, il allie l'exigence de la pensée et de l'action dans une approche constructive, pragmatique et opérationnelle.

Book Description
In recent decades, the various strands of the food movement have made enormous strides in calling attention the many shortcomings and injustices of our food and agricultural system. Farmers, activists, scholars, and everyday citizens have also worked creatively to rebuild local food economies, advocate for food justice, and promote more sustainable, agroecological farming practices. However, the movement for fairer, healthier, and more autonomous food is continually blocked by one obstacle: land access. As long as land remains unaffordable and inaccessible to most people, we cannot truly transform the food system. The term land-grabbing is most commonly used to refer to the large-scale acquisition of agricultural land in Asian, African, or Latin American countries by foreign investors. However, land has and continues to be “grabbed” in North America, as well, through discrimination, real estate speculation, gentrification, financialization, extractive energy production, and tourism. This edited volume, with chapters from a wide range of activists and scholars, explores the history of land theft, dispossession, and consolidation in the United States. It also looks at alternative ways forward toward democratized, land justice, based on redistributive policies and cooperative ownership models. With prefaces from leaders in the food justice and family farming movements, the book opens with a look at the legacies of white-settler colonialism in the southwestern United States. From there, it moves into a collectively-authored section on Black Agrarianism, which details the long history of land dispossession among Black farmers in the southeastern US, as well as the creative acts of resistance they have used to acquire land and collectively farm it. The next section, on gender, explores structural and cultural discrimination against women landowners in the Midwest and also role of “womanism” in land-based struggles. Next, a section on the cross-border implications of land enclosures and consolidations includes a consideration of what land justice could mean for farm workers in the US, followed by an essay on the challenges facing young and aspiring farmers. Finally, the book explores the urban dimensions of land justice and their implications for locally-autonomous food systems, and lessons from previous struggles for democratized land access. Ultimately, the book makes the case that to move forward to a more equitable, just, sustainable, and sovereign agriculture system, the various strands of the food movement must come together for land justice.

Book Description
In 2015, the General Assembly of State Parties to the World Heritage Convention passed a ground-breaking Sustainable Development policy that seeks to bring the World Heritage system into line with the UN’s sustainable development agenda (UNESCO 2015). World Heritage and Sustainable Development provides a broad overview of the process that brought about the new policy and the implications of its enactment. The book is divided into four parts. Part I puts the policy in its historical and theoretical context, and Part II offers an analysis of the four policy dimensions on which the policy is based – environmental sustainability, inclusive social development, inclusive economic development and the fostering of peace and security. Part III presents perspectives from IUCN, ICOMOS and ICCROM – the three Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Committee, and Part IV offers ‘case study’ perspectives on the practical implications of the policy. Contributions come from a wide range of experienced heritage professionals and practitioners who offer both ‘inside’ perspectives on the evolution of the policy and ‘outside’ perspectives on its implications. Combined, they present and analyse the main ideas, debates and implications of the policy change. This book is key reading for all heritage professionals interested in developing a better understanding of the new Sustainable Development policy. It is also essential reading for scholars and students working in the area.
