Global Change in Atlantic Coastal Patagonian Ecosystems
This book provides an integrated view of Atlantic coastal Patagonian ecosystems, including the physical environment, biodiversity and the main ecological processes, together with their derived ecosystem services and anthropogenic impacts. It focuses on the key components of the aquatic ecosystem, covering the lower levels (plankton) to the top predators like large mammals and birds, before turning to human beings as consumers and shapers of coastal marine resources. The book then presents an overview of how organisms that constitute the aquatic food webs have changed through time and how they likely will soon change due to global change processes and anthropogenic pressures. In this regard i...
Culture, Urbanism and Planning
The relationship between culture and urbanism has been the focus of much discussion and debate in recent years. While globalisation tends towards a homogeneity, successful 'global cities' have a strong individual - and particularly cultural - identity. The economic value of the culture of cities lies not only in the arts taking place there but also in the city’s fabric, its architecture, and in its cultural heritage. This volume brings together a team of leading specialists to examine the policies of image and city marketing which have developed over the past 15 years and whether these are a continuity of earlier strategies. Featuring case studies which illustrate diverse perspectives on linking culture, urbanism and history, the book reviews heritage and planning culture, looking at the experience of urbanism in the 'Old Historic City'. The book also assesses the increasingly important issue of urban images and their influence on planning strategies.
Regenerating Urban Land
Regenerating Urban Land draws on the experience of eight case studies from around the world. The case studies outline various policy and financial instruments to attract private sector investment in urban regeneration of underutilized and unutilized areas and the requisite infrastructure improvements. In particular, each case study details the project cycle, from the scoping phase and determination of the initial amount of public sector investment, to implementation and subsequent leveraged private-sector funds. This manual analyzes rates of return on the investments and long-term financial sustainability. Regenerating Urban Land guides local governments to systematically identify the sequence of steps and tasks needed to develop a regeneration policy framework, with the participation of the private sector. The manual also formulates specific policies and instruments for expanding private sector participation; structuring effective administrative and legal frameworks; utilizing land readjustment/assembly methods; determining duration of contracts, adequate phasing, and timeline; and balancing the distribution of risk and sustainability measures.
GREEN IS MORE!
Este es un escrito franco, sencillo y profundo, cuya lectura la facilita el estilo próximo, coloquial y amistoso con el que el autor nos acerca a un tema trascendental, como es la necesidad de preservación de nuestro mundo, del único que tenemos. Lo hace desde la intimidad de la tierra misionera, el lugar que lo albergó y que el acogió como propio, donde la vida y la naturaleza se manifiestan con tal pujanza y desenfreno que no permiten mirar para otro lado a la hora de preservarla. “Green is more” o “verde es mejor” son las palabras que elije para contagiarnos el amor por el planeta, que no admite desmayos ni claudicaciones. Es un texto que habla del futuro, actúa en el presente y abreva en la cultura del pasado, desde la cual señala algunos referentes que nos muestran el espejo desde donde mirar hacia adelante.
