AgriCultura
Author: Lionella ScazzosiPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030490122
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This book explains how cultural heritage can be a tool for enhancing urban agriculture and improving landscape and life quality. It cuts across the existing literature and fills the gaps between urban agriculture, considered as a food, social and environmental opportunity and cultural heritage, considered as resource. It focuses the role of the countryside for urban areas, in the history of the city and today. Its attention is on the quality for all areas, both outstanding, ordinary and degraded, as well as large, little or fragmented (European landscape convention 2000). It considers agricultural landscape as a system of tangible and intangible heritage components and relationships, to be retained, enhanced and transmit, in a process of inevitable but appropriate dynamic conservation and management over time (ICOMOS-IFLA Principles 2017). This book can benefit the collaboration among local players – such as farmers, citizens, associations, public institutions, stakeholders – in conserving and enhancing agrarian heritage and reinforcing the identity of places and people. It can strengthen collective action and generate positive effects on good large and local -scale management. The first part has a methodological character in order to enlighten the integrated approach between cultural heritage and urban agriculture. The second part exemplifies cases where the heritage has been recognised but not yet translated into concrete action. The third Part discloses ongoing process of co-construction, where policies have recognized the cultural, environmental and social meaning of urban agriculture as heritage. This book aims to reach scholars, local administrations, professionals, farmers and citizens. It involves many authors, many of whom are directly engaged with action-research in safeguarding and implementing the mutual interaction between urban agriculture activities and agrarian heritage.

Circular Economy, Industrial Ecology and Short Supply Chain
Author: Delphine GallaudPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119307473
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
In contrast to the linear "take-make-dispose" model of resource consumption, a new industrial model is proposed in the form of a circular economy. This model aims to optimize the use of resources and to reduce or eliminate waste, and is based on re-use, repair, ecodesign, industrial ecology, sustainable supply and responsible consumption. Industrial ecology and short supply chains can contribute – particularly on a territorial scale – to the emergence of a real sustainable development. This book develops these concepts and presents experiments that are taking place in France and other countries, in addition to an integrated model which details the mechanisms through which industrial ecology and short supply chains can generate economic, social and environmental profits. The possible issues and obstacles facing these new practices are also analyzed, in order to develop the outline of an adapted management and governance which will enable them to be fully realized.
La ville et l'enjeu du "développement durable".
Author: Marc SauvezPublisher:
ISBN: 9782110047441
Category : City planning
Languages : fr
Pages : 436
Book Description
Les enjeux urbains évoluent. Après le grand déficit quantitatif de l'après-guerre pris en charge par l'Etat central, puis la décentralisation de 1982, les nouvelles questions urbaines se situent à des échelles plus larges, agglomérations ou régions, débordant des périmètres institutionnels : performance économique, qualité de la vie, de l'eau et de l'air, protection des espaces naturels et ruraux et lutte contre la ségrégation sociale. Les interventions publiques actuelles prennent mal en compte ces enjeux complexes et imbriqués et parfois contribuent à aggraver les situations : actions trop sectorielles, plus attachées à la production neuve qu'à la réponse aux demandes, peu reliées à la sécurité, l'emploi, la culture et la qualité des quartiers, et jugées sur des périodes trop courtes. Après un diagnostic étayé, ce rapport propose une application concrète des principes du " développement durable " aux milieux urbains : prise en compte simultanée du social, de l'économique et de l'environnemental à court et long termes ; renforcement de périmètres institutionnels plus pertinents ; contractualisation entre collectivités sur des objectifs après diagnostics préalables suivis d'évaluations systématiques, construction des partenariats et des solidarités indispensables à la faisabilité des opérations souhaitables, contractualisation entre acteurs locaux et globaux pour la prise en charge d'un foncier équipé, adapté à chaque situation.

Sustainable Production System
Author: Clément MorlatPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119720133
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Wealth is no longer just an ability to live well in a world shaped by human activities. It is also an ability to push back or defer the limits of a world in biological and climatic closure. This book examines the theoretical conflicts and the power plays which often oppose the socio-political and technical-financial practices of recognition of what intervenes in the production of this wealth – i.e. of what has value. It lays down the principles of a contributory modeling method, allowing debates around the concept of development; the building of scenarios; the negotiation of their implementation; and a cross-sectoral reading of their social, ecological and economic costs. This method, called Dynamic Modeling of Cost Systems, is based on a territorial communication device which articulates political, contractual and accounting innovations using deliberative and normative digital tools. It combines different local representations of value, in order to approach wealth through an integrated analysis of micro-, meso- and macro- issues.
The Mobile City of Accra
Author: Elizabeth Ardayfio-SchandorfPublisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 2869785488
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
This book is a product of collaborative research between the Institut de recherche pour le dveloppement (IRD, France), the University of Ghana, Legon and CODESRIA. It examines various economic, social and environmental challenges of urbanization that critically affect the capital of Ghana, which has experienced high demographic growth and territorial expansion. The study analyses the Greater Accra city dwellers residential practices, and focuses on two main factors influencing land and rental markets. On the one hand, it interrogates the constraints and dynamics of urban families, their needs and gender characteristics in terms of accommodation. On the other hand, it explores the opportunities and interests in investment on the part of land owners and real estate developers. At these two levels of describing the social and spatial discriminations, the book attempts to explain the difficult choices that this fragmented city faces. It emphasizes the role of mobility in structuring the metropolitan area, and the negative impact of lack of mobility which results in some households and communities suffering more than others. Light is thrown on diagnostics and prospects in the matter of urban planning.
Marketing for Sustainable Development
Author: Sihem DekhiliPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119882168
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Many people see a weak association between marketing and sustainable development and even consider them as two incompatible fields. However, marketing benefits from an extremely powerful position to encourage transformations at the production level and to guide consumers towards responsible behaviors. From its inception, marketing has been positioned as a support for the relationship between the company and its customers, with the quest for well-being set in the very foundations of the discipline. In a context that is marked by crises and much skepticism, marketing today should, more than ever, prove that it acts in good faith. This book offers practitioners, public authorities, professors and students illustrations that demonstrate that the dissemination of sustainable practices is indeed a marketing issue. It argues that it is particularly important not only to overcome the divide between the concepts of marketing and sustainability, but also to use marketing tools and frameworks to support sustainable development and strengthen the green market.
Transport and Town Planning
Author: Jean LaterrassePublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119579481
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
In a context where climate change urgently requires us to alter our paradigms, this book explores the possibilities of cities that are both more energy efficient and more respectful of the environment. Based on the observation that urban planning has been detrimentally affected by the compartmentalization of knowledge and practices, this book is conceived as a dialog between transport and urban planning on the one hand, and between engineering and social science on the other. Systemic analysis and a historical approach, integrating the teachings of the last two centuries, constitute at the methodological level the framework in which this dialog unfolds. Based on examples of good practice, Transport and Town Planning identifies an effective set of levers of action and proposes an original method to guide and accompany urban transition with a large share of the initiative reserved for the actors concerned.
