The Sustainable City X
Author: C.A. Brebbia
Publisher: WIT Press
ISBN: 1845649427
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 505
Book Description
Containing the proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Urban Regeneration and Sustainability this book addresses the multidisciplinary aspects of urban planning; a result of the increasing size of cities; the amount of resources and services required and the complexity of modern society. Most of earth’s population now lives in cities and the process of urbanisation continues generating many problems deriving from the drift of the population towards them. These problems can be resolved by cities becoming efficient habitats, saving resources in a way that improves the quality and standard of living. The process, however, faces a number of major challenges, related to reducing pollution, improving main transportation and infrastructure systems. New urban solutions are required to optimise the use of space and energy resources leading to improvements in the environment, i.e. reduction in air, water and soil pollution as well as efficient ways to deal with waste generation. These challenges contribute to the development of social and economic imbalances and require the development of new solutions. Large cities are probably the most complex mechanisms to manage. However, despite such complexity they represent a fertile ground for architects, engineers, city planners, social and political scientists, and other professionals able to conceive new ideas and time them according to technological advances and human requirements. The challenge of planning sustainable cities lies in considering their dynamics, the exchange of energy and matter, and the function and maintenance of ordered structures directly or indirectly, supplied and maintained by natural systems. Topics covered include: Urban Strategies; Planning, Development and Management; Urban Conservation and Regeneration; The Community and the City; Eco-town Planning; Landscape Planning and Design; Environmental Management; Sustainable Energy and the City; Transportation; Quality of Life; Architectural Issues; Cultural Heritage Issues; Intelligent Environment and Emerging Technologies; Planning for Risk; Disaster and Emergency Response; Safety and Security; Waste Management; Infrastructure and Society; Urban Metabolism.

Disneyfying Ile De France?
Author: Anne-Marie d’Hauteserre
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527562387
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
The book captures the history, as well as the meaning and the value of the on-going partnership between the French state and the Walt Disney Company, remembering that it involved from the start more than a tourism project. It examines how the combined aspirations of the French state and the American Company transformed Val d’Europe as the sole potential location in Europe for the Company’s theme parks while allowing the state to retain its egalitarian ideals. Most critics believed the French state had caved into every demand of the Company. No one ever mentioned profits of the state that it would then invest to support other projects. The first part of the book investigates the encounter between the partners and the reasons why a welfarist state encouraged penetration by a capitalist enterprise, alongside the Company’s reasoning. The second section reveals the continued cooperation between the two entities in the management of the urbanization of Val d’Europe from the opening of the first Park and the start of a new major tourism development, in spite of criticisms and fluctuating attendance in the parks. The third part highlights more recent actions of the partners to create a formidable urban tourism pole that will attract ever more visitors, while still critically examining their effectiveness and sustainability.

Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030822087
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This open access book is focused on the intersection between urban brownfields and the sustainability transitions of metreopolitan areas, cities and neighbourhoods. It provides both a theoretical and practical approach to the topic, offering a thorough introduction to urban brownfields and regeneration projects as well as an operational monitoring tool. Neighbourhoods in Transition begins with an overview of historic urban development and strategic areas in the hearts of towns to be developed. It then defines several key issues related to the topic, including urban brownfields, regeneration projects, and sustainability issues related to neighbourhood development. The second part of this book is focused on support tools, explaining the challenges faced, the steps involved in a regeneration process, and offering an operational monitoring tool. It applies the unique tool to case studies in three selected neighbourhoods and the outcomes of one case study are also presented and discussed, highlighting its benefits. The audience for this book will be both professional and academic. It will support researchers as an up-to-date reference book on urban brownfield regeneration projects, and also the work of architects, urban designers, urban planners and engineers involved in sustainability transitions of the built environment.

L'urbanisme durable

Publisher: Le Moniteur Editions
ISBN: 9782281193619
Category : City planning
Languages : fr
Pages : 295
Book Description
Aujourd'hui que le constat de la responsabilité humaine sur le changement climatique largement partagé, et au lendemain du Grenelle de l'Environnement, se fait sentir besoin de plus en plus aigu de mettre en place des stratégies d'aménagement du; territoire et d'intégrer tous les enjeux du développement durable dans les projets urbains. Après avoir rappelé brièvement le cadre de référence, national et européen, et décrit différentes démarches de développement urbain durable, cet ouvrage analyse un certain nombre de projets d'aménagement et de renouvellement urbain à l'aide d'exemples opérations de référence réalisées à l'étranger (Vancouver au Canada, Malmö en Suède, Bristol et Bedzed en Grande-Bretagne, Barcelone en Espagne) ou en France (Rennes, Nantes). Les auteurs proposent une méthodologie pour mettre en œuvre des démarches de développement durable aux différentes échelles de territoire, du bâtiment jusqu'à la ville, en passant par le lotissement, le quartier ou le secteur, Ils dressent 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. Ce livre cherche donc à donner des outils à la fois conceptuels, méthodologiques et opérationnels aux professionnels de l'urbanisme. Son approche pragmatique devrait aider tous ceux qui ont la volonté de mettre en œuvre une démarche de développement durable dans leurs projets urbains à passer des bonnes pratiques à de véritables 'stratégies territoriales et patrimoniales.
