The Report: Colombia 2014
Indeed, the sound performance of the construction sector, strong investment in public works, restored consumer confidence and a recovery in the hydrocarbons industry enabled Colombia’s economy to regain dynamism and end 2013 with growth of 4.7%. Attracting a record $16.36bn in foreign direct investment in 2013, an 8.2% rise on the previous year, the Andean economy assured its spot among the region’s top investment targets. As in previous years, hydrocarbons attracted the lion’s share of FDI to the country, accounting for 81.6% of the total. While GDP grew by just 2.9% in the first quarter of 2014, the central bank forecasts growth of 4.3% for the year. With the possibility of a peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), the next few years could see economic performance enhanced by improved agricultural and energy outputs, as well as increased FDI inflows.
Cities for Life

Wasser | Macht | Raum
Das vorliegende Buch zeigt am Beispiel der Stadt Antofagasta im Norden Chiles, wie entlang hydro-sozialer Versorgungsinfrastrukturen urbane Lebensräume und Identitäten (re-)konfiguriert werden.

Resilient City
Climate change is one of the major challenges facing cities in the future. Landscape architecture is particularly in demand here because it offers solutions that are characterized by complexity and interdisciplinarity and contribute to the quality of everyday life. These range from green roofs and facades to urban gardening and the landscaping of large-scale protection works. This volume presents measures and plans of eleven major cities in North and South America, from Vancouver to Rio de Janeiro, to protect their inhabitants and their habitats against future storms, floods, landslides or long periods of heat and drought. Outstanding projects in the featured cities are analyzed in their geographic and climatic context. The author also addresses the social and cultural dimensions of resilience.

Mecanismos de política económica ambiental
Con este libro se busca comprender los pormenores de la regulación económica ambiental en la práctica, bajo la permisa que no son suficientes las normas de comando y control, los incentivos económicos o el diseño de híbridos entre los dos si no se asumen los costos adicionales que las restricciones técnicas, financieras, institucionales, sociales y políticas plantean. En específico se hace énfasis en la regulación ambiental alrededor del sector de aseo. La generación de residuos sólidos en grandes ciudades se ha constituido en una problemática enorme tanto por su volumen como por la composición de contaminantes crecientes, los cuales, si no son bien manejados terminan por deteriorar suelos, paisajes, cuerpos de agua y el aire.
