The Urban Forest
This book focuses on urban "green infrastructure" – the interconnected web of vegetated spaces like street trees, parks and peri-urban forests that provide essential ecosystem services in cities. The green infrastructure approach embodies the idea that these services, such as storm-water runoff control, pollutant filtration and amenities for outdoor recreation, are just as vital for a modern city as those provided by any other type of infrastructure. Ensuring that these ecosystem services are indeed delivered in an equitable and sustainable way requires knowledge of the physical attributes of trees and urban green spaces, tools for coping with the complex social and cultural dynamics, and an understanding of how these factors can be integrated in better governance practices. By conveying the findings and recommendations of COST Action FP1204 GreenInUrbs, this volume summarizes the collaborative efforts of researchers and practitioners from across Europe to address these challenges.
How Pandemics Shape the Metropolitan Space
This book examines the impact of the recent global health crisis on the urban development of Vienna and Tokyo. Contributions from fields such as regional, landscape, or transport planning as well as urban sociology and cultural anthropology illustrate that, in these capitals, the effects of the pandemic on urban space have been both immediate and long-term. At the same time, they show that historical and cultural contexts influence the way cities have dealt with the challenges posed by COVID-19.
Infraestructura verde. Sistema natural de salud pública
Esta obra pretende responder a numerosas cuestiones acerca de la relación entre infraestructura verde, actividad física y salud. Ofrece argumentos que sirven de base para un urbanismo que aproveche el potencial de la dimensión de los sistemas naturales del territorio, más conciliador con la naturaleza e integrador con diferentes escenarios territoriales. Se pretende, primero, la mejora del conocimiento sobre las ventajas e idoneidad de estrategias de planificación territorial fundamentadas en un enfoque ecológico; segundo, la propuesta de un marco metodológico para analizar la relación entre infraestructura verde, actividad física y salud y, tercero, aportar evidencias de la relaci...
State of Mediterranean Forests 2018
The Mediterranean region has more than 25 million hectares of Mediterranean forests and about 50 million hectares of other Mediterranean wooded lands. They make crucial contributions to rural development, poverty alleviation, food security, as well as, the agricultural, water, tourism, and energy sectors. Changes in climate, societies, and lifestyles to create appropriate financial incentives and tools. in the Mediterranean region could have serious negative consequences for forests, with the potential to lead to the loss or diminution of those contributions and to a wide range of economic, social and environmental problems. In the future, Mediterranean forests will support agriculture and h...
Emerging Perspectives on Teaching Architecture and Urbanism
This book contains a set of essays on the teaching of Architecture and Urbanism, written by university professors and researchers from several countries. It argues that the teaching of architecture and urbanism is in a state of crisis; architecture seems unable to respond to current problems, and urbanism seems incapable of fulfilling the needs of a more balanced society and its built environment, including the human right to housing. The book comprises historical analyses, systematization of concepts, manifestos, and social evaluations, and, above all, an alignment of new objectives, curricular plans, and pedagogical methodologies.

Unasylva 250
Cities need forests. The network of woodlands, groups of trees and individual trees in a city and on its fringes performs a huge range of functions – such as regulating climate; storing carbon; removing air pollutants; reducing the risk of flooding; assisting in food, energy and water security; and improving the physical and mental health of citizens. Forests enhance the look of cities and play important roles in social cohesion; they may even reduce crime. This edition of Unasylva takes a close look at urban and peri-urban forestry – its benefits, pitfalls, governance and challenges.
Objetivo 2030. Energía, cambio climático y tecnología en el ámbito local
El cambio climático es ya una realidad indiscutible. El consumo de energía y recursos naturales por el hombre es mucho mayor que la capacidad de regeneración de los ecosistemas naturales. La posibilidad más realista de restitución efectiva del orden climático preindustrial, pasa necesariamente por la aplicación práctica y efectiva de la nueva tecnología y la innovación, mucho más sostenible. También con el cambio de modelo energético hacia la descarbonización, con alternativas energéticas renovables revolucionarias, con la gestión y planificación inteligente de la producción de los residuos, el uso del agua, con ciudades sostenibles en sus servicios públicos, y mucho más ...
