Future Forms and Design For Sustainable Cities
Concentrating on the planning and design of cities, the three sections take a logical route through the discussion from the broad considerations at regional and city scale, to the larger city at high and lower densities through to design considerations on the smaller block scale. Key design issues such as access to facilities, access for sunlight, life cycle analyses, and the impact of communications on urban design are tackled, and in conclusion, the research is compared to large scale design examples that have been proposed and/or implemented over the past decade to give a vision for the future that might be achievable.
The PAP Smear
'The Pap Smear' provides a comprehensive overview of the Pap smear in the new millennium. It covers all aspects of screening for cervical neoplasia, including the rationale between screening, the role of human papillomaviruses in cervical neoplasia, the morphologic diagnosis of normal and abnormal Pap smears, management of the abnormal Pap smear, quality assurance, legal issues and the use of new technologies. It starts with the definition and goal of screening, the criteria of an optimal screening test, and a brief history as well as the achievement of the Pap smear. A gynecologist's perspective is presented to illustrate the options and strategies in clinical decision-making for the manage...
Third World Cities
This imformative book is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of the classic introduction to urbanization in developing areas. Using case studies of cities drawn from around the world, including Bangkok, Delhi, Manila, Mexico City, Singapore and cities in Zimbabwe, this key text confronts three main questions: Is there still a Third World, does it have a common urban form, and what is the relationship between urbanization and sustainability? The text analyzes: the dimension of urban growth in the third world historical perspectives on urban growth urban population growth employment and incomes in the city basic needs and human rights environmental problems in third world cities planning ...
Factor Four
Since the industrial revolution, progress has meant an increase in labour productivity. Factor Four describes a new form of progress, resource productivity, a form which meets the overriding imperative for the future (sustainability). It shows how at least four times as much wealth can be extracted from the resources we use. As the authors put it, the book is about doing more with less, but this is not the same as doing less, doing worse or doing without. In 1972, the Club of Rome published Limits to Growth, which sent shock waves around the world by arguing that we were rapidly running out of essential resources. This Report to the Club of Rome offers a solution. It lies in using resources ...
