The Tribune Tree
This book is the result of a research-action on the conditions of the citizen participation in the policies of urban regeneration in response to a survey ordered by the minister in charge of the "policy of the large cities" within the Belgian federal government. This research-action, coordinated by the team Habitat and Development of the unit of urbanism and territorial development of the UCL, was carried out in partnership with four associated members of the HaCER network (Habitants Citoyens d'Europe en Réseau), the Neighbours association of Trinitat Nova, Barcelona (Spain), the Estate Management Board of Bloomsbury, Birmingham (UK), the Stadttleilgruppe of Tenever, Bremen (Germany), the Unione Borgate, Rome (Italy) as well as the Maritime Quarter Committee in Molenbeek-St-Jean (Belgium). Beyond these 5 testimonies of participation’s experiments, research makes it possible to better seize the articulation between the practices and the institutional environment in which the participation evolves. As a results, a series of proposals are applicable to Belgium
Restructuring Public Transport Through Bus Rapid Transit
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) is increasingly being discussed as an affordable way for cities to build sustainable rapid transit infrastructure. This is the first book to examine the opportunities presented by BRT along with the significant challenges cities face in the implementation of successful systems. The difficulties can be myriad: new institutional relationships have to be developed among governments, operators, and the public; projects have to be designed and implemented to handle large passenger flows in the most efficient manner possible; and these changes are not taking place on a blank slate, but within existing transportation systems, political and cultural contexts, and urban development patterns. Addressing these challenges from an international perspective and across a range of disciplines, from urban planning to public policy and economics, contributors offer technical solutions to specific problems and identify what still needs to be done to realize their vision of global sustainable transport.
From Understanding to Action
Hans van Ginkel Rector, United Nations University The challenges of the world's future are linked to the growing share of the global population that will reside in urban areas. UN projections indicate that by 2030 the world's urban population share will rise to 60 percent. Of the two billion added to the global population, 99 percent will be added to the urban areas of the world. Of this number, 95 percent will be in countries of the developing world. As most people will live in urban areas we had better work to build and organize them as both attractive and less resource consuming places. That is, to promote sustainable urban development is to promote the creation of dense human settlements...
Big Data in Education: Pedagogy and Research
This book discusses how Big Data could be implemented in educational settings and research, using empirical data and suggesting both best practices and areas in which to invest future research and development. It also explores: 1) the use of learning analytics to improve learning and teaching; 2) the opportunities and challenges of learning analytics in education. As Big Data becomes a common part of the fabric of our world, education and research are challenged to use this data to improve educational and research systems, and also are tasked with teaching coming generations to deal with Big Data both effectively and ethically. The Big Data era is changing the data landscape for statistical ...

Gouvernance paysagère et grandes infrastructures routières
Souvent marginalisée dans les études d'incidences de projet, les auteurs s’interrogent sur la place que peut occuper la problématique paysagère dans le cadre d’une étude d’incidences de plan, en amont de tout projet fi gé et arrêté par les autorités. La réfl exion se base sur un cas concret d’inscription d’une grande infrastructure routière. Cet ouvrage s’adresse à toute personne intéressée par les problématiques de l’évaluation environnementale de plan et/ou de l’intégration paysagère de grandes infrastructures de transport (administration, bureau d’études, université...). Après une détermination des gabarits possibles au travers d’une méthodologie basée sur les matrices origine/destination, l’ouvrage porte sur les critères utiles aux considérations paysagères qu’il traite en partie au moyen de systèmes d’information géographique. Les auteurs proposent ensuite une interprétation des résultats en recourant à une analyse par scénario. Le programme « mobilité, urbanisme et développement durable » est fi nancé par la Chaire Bernheim-Comofi .
Les chemins de l'école
Cette recherche aborde le déplacement scolaire comme phénomène urbain et culturel, dans lequel les comportements et représentations ont autant d'importance que les variables techniques, et rappelle le rôle de l'école, élément structurant de la ville.
