Corporate Urban Responsibility
Die Themen Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) und nachhaltiges Wirtschaften haben sich inzwischen in den meisten Unternehmen etabliert. Angesichts des gesellschaftlichen und ökonomischen Strukturwandels, Privatisierung und begrenzter finanzieller Möglichkeiten des Staates werden Unternehmen jedoch auch zunehmend in Deutschland als engagierte Akteure für Stadtentwicklungsmodelle eingebunden. Wie beeinflusst dies Architektur und Städtebau? Hans-Hermann Albers verdeutlicht anhand von Fallbeispielen Chancen und Risiken der unternehmerischen Einflussnahme auf die Gestaltung und Nutzung städtischer Räume.

Manual of Hypertension
Hypertension is another name for high blood pressure. It can lead to severe complications and increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. The new edition of this manual provides cardiologists with the latest advances in the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Divided into 14 sections, the book begins with an overview of the history and epidemiology of the condition, risk factors, pathophysiological aspects, and molecular basis. The next chapters discuss the accuracy of blood pressure measurements, target organ damage, and secondary hypertension. The book concludes with chapters on thera...
Contaminated Urban Soils
With more than 50% of the world’s population already living in towns and cities, migration from rural areas continuing at an alarming rate in developing countries and suburbanisation using more and more land in developed countries, the urban environment has become supremely important with regard to human health and wellbeing. For centuries, urbanisation has caused relatively low level soil conta- nation mainly by various wastes. However, from the time of the Industrial Revolution onwards, both the scale of urban development and the degree of soil contamination rapidly increased and involved an ever widening spectrum of c- taminants. With constraints on the supply of land for new urban deve...
Urban Air Quality Monitoring, Modelling and Human Exposure Assessment
This contributed volume is primarily intended for graduate and professional audiences. The book provides a basic understanding of urban air quality issues, root causes for local and urban air pollution, monitoring and modelling techniques, assessment, and control options to manage air quality at local and urban scale. The book also offers useful information on indoor air quality and smart sensors, which are gaining much importance in current times.
Urban Models and Public-Private Partnership
This book addresses the topic of urban models with reference to large western cities and particularly to global cities. In the current transitional phase, the use of language and the systematization of phenomena has become important. The book’s matrix examines two important and strongly connected themes: urban models and public-private partnerships (PPP) determined by urban functions which are transformed in an increasingly rapid and complex manner as a result of globalization. PPPs represent the new border of the modern global state. The book focuses on two principal urban models (renewal and restructuring) through PPPs and subsequently the relationship between state and market in fourteen Italian cities (renewal) and two central European cities, Leipzig and Budapest (restructuring). CoUrbIT (Complex Urban Investment Tools) and the book 'Globalization and Urban Implosion: Creating New Competitive Advantage' by the same author serve as points of reference.
