Governance of Climate Responsive Cities
The book presents governance with a particular focus on the social and spatial aspects of climate responsiveness and reads the practice of governance across different scales. It conceptualizes a framework of scale composed of three main categories including (i) scientific knowledge, (ii) plans and policies, and (iii) authorities of action. This framework presents ‘practice’ as the social context in which these three can interplay adaptively. Within this framework, the book presents case studies from Turkey, Italy, Ecuador, Chile and the UK, that reach meaningful planning and design solutions at national, city, and neighbourhood scales in the face of climate change. It offers implementation clues that are transferable to ever-increasing climate action around the globe. The book will be of interest to both professionals and scholars involved in urban design, urban planning and architecture, especially those in the field of climate responsive urbanism. It will also be a valuable resource for non-governmental organizations and social enterprises dealing with sustainability and climate change policies.

This publication breaks new ground by introducing the community college b...

Turchia - nuova edizione
La tradizione siriaca è il terzo “polmone” della cristianità. Nonostante le continue persecuzioni e il forzato esilio di interi villaggi, questa “terra di mezzo”, situata nella Turchia sudorientale, conserva le tracce di un patrimonio di inestimabile valore: gioielli architettonici e piccole comunità che resistono. Lo sviluppo del turismo turco e internazionale in queste zone – soprattutto nei dintorni delle città di Mardin e Midyat, ma anche Nusaybin, Idil e Şirnak-Silopi – e la povertà di indicazioni precise per rintracciare questi antichi tesori architettonici e conoscerne la storia, hanno convinto gli autori a scrivere una guida per portare a conoscenza – del pellegri...
