Ciudades inteligentes, ciudades sabias
En el marco de la colección Ciudad 2030, esta obra pretende reflexionar, desde diversos puntos de vista, en torno al papel de la ciudad inteligente (smart city) y de la ciudad sabia (wise city) en la generación de modelos de gobernanza democrática y colaborativa que avancen en el desarrollo humano sostenible de las ciudades, territorios y comunidades. Identificados los retos de este desarrollo, el uso de la ciencia y la tecnología resulta clave para resolverlos pero siempre teniendo en cuenta las ventajas e inconvenientes que suscitan. Por ello, son necesarios modelos que superen la idea de la innovación tecnológica como fin en sí misma, dejando paso a proyectos que incidan en la complicidad entre actores, sectores y agentes a partir de experiencias satisfactorias de colaboración, con base tecnológica o no.
Ciudades emergentes
Urbs, civitas, metrópolis, megalópolis, metápolis son algunas de las múltiples denominaciones de los espacios urbanos, que atienden a su dimensión material, social, cultural o económica. Pero las concepciones sobre la ciudad varían según las disciplinas y los contextos, y están ligadas a las diferentes creencias, desarrollos científico-tecnológicos o corrientes filosóficas. Por eso, a menudo, estas concepciones se presentan contrapuestas. Este libro es un intento por aportar un nuevo enfoque más abierto y multidisciplinar, basado en la teoría de sistemas, que tenga en cuenta las distintas dinámicas locales y globales sobre la ciudad. Un planteamiento integrador y holístico qu...
Teoría del edredón
El edredón es una funda ligera y un relleno que, con diverso gramaje y espesor, tiene por finalidad cubrir la cama y proteger a las personas que la ocupan del frío y la humedad. A través de la metáfora del edredón, podemos entender mejor el mundo en el que vivimos, sus ciudades, territorios, comunidades y personas. Nuestro uso del edredón provoca desajustes como el paradigma científico-tecnológico en el planeta. El manejo acelerado y globalizado de este edredón llamado mundo va generando desajustes medioambientales, económicos, sociales y culturales de gran complejidad. El Paradigma 2030, reflejado en los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible y en las Agendas que los aplican, plantea ...
Ordenamento do Território e Urbanismo Face aos Desafios Ambientais e Energéticos - Atas do Encontro Anual da Ad Urbem 2021
A necessidade de nos adaptarmos às alterações climáticas, tal como a necessidade de uma utilização criteriosa dos recursos disponíveis constituem evidências. E é inequívoco que o setor energético é componente fundamental desta temática, desde logo por ser responsável por cerca de 60% da emissão de CO2. Os desafios ambientais e energéticos são, então, inequívocos, sendo que a nível científico surgem já bem enunciados. Mas, em termos práticos, saber em concreto o que fazer e o como fazer, o como alterar o que tem de ser alterado, ainda está muito pouco claro e operacionalizado. O Encontro anual da AD URBEM centrou-se exatamente nesta questão: como alterar as práticas ...
New Directions in Urban History
This volume introduces, through a series of freshly researched studies, new perspectives on the history of European urban culture from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. The approach is an international one, with essays on Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain and Italy, and the authors drawn not only from Europe, but also the USA and Japan. The essays examine a range of specialist aspects of culture, such as gardening, spa towns, painting, and music. At the same time the contributors also explore jointly several broader interconnected themes - health, nature, the arts and cultural institutions, leisure, and tourism - of central importance to the cultural identity and development of the modern European town.
The Wes Anderson Collection: Bad Dads
The third volume in the New York Times bestselling Wes Anderson Collection series showcases the best artwork from “Bad Dads,” an annual exhibition of art inspired by the films of Wes Anderson. Curated by Spoke Art Gallery in San Francisco, “Bad Dads” has continued to grow and progress as a dynamic group exhibition since its inaugural show in 2011, and has featured work from more than 400 artists from around the world. Those artworks range from paintings to sculptures to limited-edition screen prints and vary greatly in style, making for a diverse and lively show each year. Though each piece is distinct in its own right, the artworks’ unifying element is the shared imagery and belov...
Anthropology in the City
With half of humanity already living in towns and cities and that proportion expected to increase in the coming decades, society - both Western and non-Western - is fast becoming urban and even mega-urban. As such, research in urban settings is evidently timely and of great importance. Anthropology in the City brings together a leading team of anthropologists to address the complex methodological and theoretical challenges posed by field-research in urban settings, clearly identifying the significance of the anthropological paradigm in urban research and its centrality both to mainstream academic debates and to society more broadly. With essays from experts on wide-ranging ethnographic research from fields as diverse as China, Europe, India, Latin and North America and South East Asia, this book demonstrates the contribution that empirically-based anthropological analysis can make to our understanding of our increasingly urban world.
Modeling and Role-Modeling
This extant nursing theory and paradigm is recognized by the American Holistic Nurses Association. It provides guidelines for nurses interested in application of a mind-body-spirit approch to client care. Modeling is the process of building a mirror image of the client's world. Role-modeling is the process of designing and implementing care that nurtures client growth and healing and facilitates clients fulfilling their personally chosen life-roles.
