Book Description
La ville, et en particulier l’urbanisation, suscitent un intérêt évident qui tient principalement aux modèles qu’il convient de choisir pour occuper et préserver notre espace commun, la planète. Gestion intégrée de l’environnement urbain et résilience présente une lecture transversale et pluridisciplinaire de la ville et de l’urbanité afin de mieux comprendre les fondements, les enjeux et les difficultés de la production de l’espace que constitue la ville de demain. Cet ouvrage met en perspective l’histoire de la ville et les solutions envisagées en tant que problématique sociétale, introduisant l’idée même de résilience entre le sens que l’on donne à la ville et les techniques et les contraintes de soutenabilité.

Ecosystem Management in the Boreal Forest
Author: Sylvie Gauthier
Publisher: PUQ
ISBN: 2760523829
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
Forest Ecosystem Management. A management approach that aims to maintain healthy and resilient forest ecosystems by focusing on a reduction of differences between natural and managed landscapes to ensure long-term maintenance of ecosystem functions and thereby retain the social and economic benefits they provide to society.That is the definition of forest ecosystem management proposed in this book, which provides a summary of key ecological concepts supporting this approach. The book includes a review of major disturbance regimes that shape the natural dynamics of the boreal forest and gives examples from different Canadian boreal regions. Several projects implementing the forest ecosystem management approach are presented to illustrate the challenges created by current forestry practices and the solutions that this new approach can provide. In short, knowledge and understanding of forest dynamics can serve as a guide for forest management. Planning interventions based on natural dynamics can facilitate reconciliation between forest harvesting needs and the interests of other forest users.

Resilience, Environmental Justice and the City
Author: Beth Schaefer Caniglia
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317311884
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
Urban centres are bastions of inequalities, where poverty, marginalization, segregation and health insecurity are magnified. Minorities and the poor – often residing in neighbourhoods characterized by degraded infrastructures, food and job insecurity, limited access to transport and health care, and other inadequate public services – are inherently vulnerable, especially at risk in times of shock or change as they lack the option to avoid, mitigate and adapt to threats. Offering both theoretical and practical approaches, this book proposes critical perspectives and an interdisciplinary lens on urban inequalities in light of individual, group, community and system vulnerabilities and resilience. Touching upon current research trends in food justice, environmental injustice through socio-spatial tactics and solution-based approaches towards urban community resilience, Resilience, Environmental Justice and the City promotes perspectives which transition away from the traditional discussions surrounding environmental justice and pinpoints the need to address urban social inequalities beyond the build environment, championing approaches that help embed social vulnerabilities and resilience in urban planning. With its methodological and dynamic approach to the intertwined nature of resilience and environmental justice in urban cities, this book will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners within urban studies, environmental management, environmental sociology and public administration.

Business and Post-disaster Management
Author: C. Michael Hall
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317276345
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive examination of the effects of a natural disaster on businesses and organisations, and on a range of stakeholders, including employees and consumers. Research on how communities and businesses respond to disasters can inform policy and mitigate the cost and impacts of future disasters. This book discusses how places recover following a disaster and the vital roles that business and other organisations play. This volume gives a detailed understanding of business, organisational and consumer responses to the Christchurch earthquake sequence of 2010-2011, which caused 185 deaths, the loss of over 70 per cent of buildings in the city’s CBD, major infrastructure damage, and severely affected the city’s image. Despite the devastation, the businesses, organisations and people of Christchurch are now undergoing significant recovery. The book sheds significant new light not only on business and organisation response to disaster but on how business and urban systems may be made more resilient.
