Restorative Cities
Author: Jenny Roe
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350112895
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Overcrowding, noise and air pollution, long commutes and lack of daylight can take a huge toll on the mental well-being of city-dwellers. With mental healthcare services under increasing pressure, could a better approach to urban design and planning provide a solution? The restrictions faced by city residents around the world during the COVID-19 pandemic has brought home just how much urban design can affect our mental health – and created an imperative to seize this opportunity. Restorative Cities explores a new way of designing cities, one which places mental health and wellness at the forefront. Establishing a blueprint for urban design for mental health, it examines a range of strategies – from sensory architecture to place-making for creativity and community – and brings a genuinely evidence-based approach that will appeal to designers and planners, health practitioners and researchers alike - and provide compelling insights for anyone who cares about how our surroundings affect us. Written by a psychiatrist and public health specialist, and an environmental psychologist with extensive experience of architectural practice, this much-needed work will prompt debate and inspire built environment students and professionals to think more about the positive potential of their designs for mental well-being.

Events and Urban Regeneration
Author: Andrew Smith
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136488588
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
In recent years, major sporting and cultural events such as the Olympic Games have emerged as significant elements of public policy, particularly in efforts to achieve urban regeneration. As well as opportunities arising from new venues, these events are viewed as a way of stimulating investment, gaining civic engagement and publicizing progress to assist the urban regeneration process more generally. However, the pursuit of regeneration involving events is a practice that is poorly understood, controversial and risky. Events and Urban Regeneration is the first book dedicated to the use of events in regeneration. It explores the relationship between events and regeneration by analyzing a range of cities and a range of sporting and cultural events projects. It considers various theoretical perspectives to provide insight into why major events are important to contemporary cites. It examines the different ways that events can assist regeneration, as well as problems and issues associated with this unconventional form of public policy. It identifies key issues faced by those tasked with using events to assist regeneration and suggests how practices could be improved in the future. The book adopts a multi-disciplinary perspective, drawing together ideas from the geography, urban planning and tourism literatures, as well as from the emerging events and regeneration fields. It illustrates arguments with a range of international case studies placed within and at the end of chapters to show positive outcomes that have been achieved and examples of high profile failures. This timely book is essential reading for students and practitioners who are interested in events, urban planning, urban geography and tourism.

Mega-event Cities: Urban Legacies of Global Sports Events
Author: Valerie Viehoff
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317097955
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 425
Book Description
Mega-events represent an important moment in the life of a city, providing a useful lens through which we may analyse their cultural, social, political and economic development. In the wake of the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC’s) concerns about ’gigantism’ and wider public concerns about rising costs, it was imperative in the C21st to demonstrate the long term benefits that arose for the city and nations from hosting premier sporting events. ’London 2012’ was the first to integrate the concept of legacy from the moment a bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games was being considered. London proposed an ambitious programme of urban renewal for East London. Subsequent host city bids have adopted the ’legacy narrative’ and, as this book demonstrates, aligned this to major schemes of urban development and renewal. Bringing together scholars, practitioners and policy makers, this book focuses upon the legacies sought by cities that host major sports events. It analyses how governments, the IOC and others define and measure ’legacy’. It also focuses upon the challenges and opportunities facing future host cities of mega-events, looking at their aspirations and the intended impact upon their domestic and international development. It questions what the global shift in geographical location of mega-events means for sports development and the business of sport, what the attractions are for cities seeking to harness the hosting of a mega-event, and whether there may be longer term consequences for the bidding and hosting major sporting events in the wake of the widespread social unrest that accompanied the preparations in Brazil for hosting the FIFA World Cup (2014) and the summer Olympics (2016) and in Turkey, where there was significant opposition to bid for the 2020 summer Olympiad.

Tunnels and Underground Cities. Engineering and Innovation Meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art
Author: Daniele Peila
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000175413
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art. Volume 8: Public Communication and Awareness / Risk Management, Contracts and Financial Aspects contains the contributions presented in the eponymous Technical Sessions during the World Tunnel Congress 2019 (Naples, Italy, 3-9 May 2019). The use of underground space is continuing to grow, due to global urbanization, public demand for efficient transportation, and energy saving, production and distribution. The growing need for space at ground level, along with its continuous value increase and the challenges of energy saving and achieving sustainable development objectives, demand greater and better use of the underground space to ensure that it supports sustainable, resilient and more liveable cities. The contributions cover a wide range of topics, and is a valuable reference text for tunnelling specialists, owners, engineers, archaeologists, architects, policy makers, decision takers and others involved in underground planning, design and building around the world, and for academics who are interested in underground constructions and geotechnics.

ISBN: 0738437492
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
IBM® defines a smarter city as one that makes optimal use of all available information to better understand and control its operations and optimize the use of resources. There is much information available from different sources. However, city officials often lack the holistic view of the city's operations that is required to respond to the citizens' needs in a timely manner and use the city resources wisely. IBM Intelligent Operations Center delivers a unified view of city agencies, providing three primary elements for successful management of cities: use information, anticipate problems, and coordinate actions and resources. Chapter 1 of this IBM Redbooks® publication introduces the IBM Intelligent Operations Center solution. The chapter provides a high-level overview of its features, benefits, and architecture. This information is intended for city officials and IT architects that must understand the business value of IBM Intelligent Operations Center and its architecture. The remaining chapters of this book focus on information that help IBM Intelligent Operations Center administrators perform daily administration tasks. This book describes commands and tools that IBM Intelligent Operations Center administrators must use to keep the solution running, troubleshoot and diagnose problems, and perform preventive maintenance. This book includes preferred practices, tips and techniques, and general suggestions for administrators of IBM Intelligent Operations Center on-premises deployments.
