Sustainable Development and Innovation in the Energy Sector
Author: Ulrich Steger
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783540231035
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Explores how these conflicting scenarios could be reconciled; how can we shape a more sustainable energy system from the existing one; and possible technological progress and innovations to enable a brighter future. Addresses the reality that there exists no consensus on the extent to which innovations can really contribute to reconciling ever-growing energy consumption, availability of resources and the environment, and the structural demands on any energy system. Offers and explains a four-point strategy: Energy should according to its importance regain a top priority in the political arena; higly targeted subsidies should be given for a limited amount of time to speed up the market introduction of energy-efficient and regenerative techniques in analogy to the ‚Dutch model‘; Negotiated agreements and unilateral self-commitments can subsequently ensure further market diffusion of sustainable energy innovations.; the basic research in energy should not be diminished but intensified instead

Nature-based Solutions for Sustainable Urban Planning
Author: Israa H. Mahmoud
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030895254
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Urban greening policies and measures have recently shown a high potential impact on the design and reshaping of the built environment, especially in urban regeneration processes. This book provides insights on analytical methods, planning strategies and shared governance tools for successfully integrating Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in the urban planning practice. The selected contributions present real-life application cases, in which the mainstreaming of NBS are investigated according to two main challenges: the planning and designing of physical and spatial integration of NBS in cities on one side, and the implementation of suitable shared governance models and co-creation pathways on the other. Chapter 5 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

The Sociology of Space
Author: Martina Löw
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349695688
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
In this book, the author develops a relational concept of space that encompasses social structure, the material world of objects and bodies, and the symbolic dimension of the social world. Löw’s guiding principle is the assumption that space emerges in the interplay between objects, structures and actions. Based on a critical discussion of classic theories of space, Löw develops a new dynamic theory of space that accounts for the relational context in which space is constituted. This innovative view on the interdependency of material, social, and symbolic dimensions of space also permits a new perspective on architecture and urban development.

Marktdynamik und Innovation
Author: Michael Fritsch
Publisher: Duncker & Humblot
ISBN: 9783428113750
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : de
Pages : 490
Book Description
Im Frühjahr 2002 verstarb Professor Hans-Jürgen Ewers, zuletzt Inhaber des Lehrstuhls für Wirtschafts- und Infrastrukturpolitik der Technischen Universität Berlin und deren Präsident. Der Band enthält Originalbeiträge, die von Kollegen und Schülern im Angedenken an Hans-Jürgen Ewers verfasst wurden. Die Aufsätze spiegeln das reichhaltige Spektrum an Themen wider, zu denen Hans-Jürgen Ewers wissenschaftliche Beiträge geleistet hat. Dabei verharren sie nicht in "reiner" Theorie, sondern beschäftigen sich insbesondere mit deren Umsetzung - ganz so wie es Hans-Jürgen Ewers als engagierter Verfechter marktwirtschaftlicher Grundsätze immer getan hat.In einem einführenden Beitrag wird zunächst das Bild des Wissenschaftlers und Menschen Hans-Jürgen Ewers gezeichnet. Der erste Themenblock der wissenschaftlichen Aufsätze ist dem Bereich "Innovation und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung" gewidmet. Dabei geht es um die langfristige Entwicklung des deutschen Innovationssystems, die arbeitsteilige Organisation von Innovationsprozessen sowie das von Hans-Jürgen Ewers maßgeblich mitentwickelte Konzept der innovationsorientierten Regionalpolitik. Gegenstand des zweiten Themenblocks "Deregulierung und Wettbewerb" sind die Erfahrungen mit der Deregulierungspolitik in Deutschland, Probleme der Fusionskontrolle, Strategien beim Ausbau der Infrastruktur in den osteuropäischen Reformstaaten sowie wettbewerbliche Ansätze in der Regionalförderung. Auch die Beiträge zum dritten Bereich "Verkehr" behandeln schwerpunktmäßig die Organisation von Wettbewerb. Ein weiteres Thema ist hier die Zufriedenheitsdynamik bei gewerblichen Verkehrsdienstleistungen.Die Aufsätze zum Themenbereich "Umweltökonomik" behandeln die Bewertung von Umwelttatbeständen, die Ausgestaltung von Innovationsanreizen in der Umweltpolitik sowie die Klimaschutzpolitik. Die letzten beiden Beiträge sind der "Organisation der Hochschulen" gewidmet. Als Präsident der Technischen Universität Berlin hat sich Hans-Jürgen Ewers sowohl theoretisch als auch praktisch mit diesem Thema leidenschaftlich auseinandergesetzt.

Space–Time Design of the Public City
Author: Dietrich Henckel
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400764251
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Time has become an increasingly important topic in urban studies and urban planning. The spatial-temporal interplay is not only of relevance for the theory of urban development and urban politics, but also for urban planning and governance. The space-time approach focuses on the human being with its various habits and routines in the city. Understanding and taking those habits into account in urban planning and public policies offers a new way to improve the quality of life in our cities. Adapting the supply and accessibility of public spaces and services to the inhabitants’ space-time needs calls for an integrated approach to the physical design of urban space and to the organization of cities. In the last two decades the body of practical and theoretical work on urban space-time topics has grown substantially. The book offers a state of the art overview of the theoretical reasoning, the development of new analytical tools, and practical experience of the space-time design of public cities in major European countries. The contributions were written by academics and practitioners from various fields exploring space-time research and planning.

Global Sustainability
Author: Gilberto C. Gallopín
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134501935
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Unprecedented levels of wealth, technology and institutional capacity can forge a just, peaceful and ecologically resilient future. However, the authors argue, social polarization, geo-political conflict and environmental degradation are threatening the long-term well-being of humanity and the planet. Global Sustainability explores the alternative futures that could emerge from the resolution of these antagonisms. Based on extensive international and interdisciplinary research, the book identifies the perils of market-driven scenarios and considers the possibility of the failure of conventional approaches. It also, however, presents a vision of the possibility of a 'Great Transition' in which revised human values and development goals bring a new stage of civilization. It will be essential reading for all scholars and professionals interested in the future of the environment, international affairs, and sustainable development.
