Community Regeneration Masterplan
This book reports on a large research project on community regeneration, which integrated the spatial, social, economic and organizational factors with the dimensions of sustainability, resilience and participation. Upon providing a detailed review on concepts of community and urban regeneration, it analyses a set of successful case studies from 30 European cities, which were selected by the authors from different rankings and awards. Fifty-seven key performance indicators and the results of self-assessment questionnaires are here introduced to allow a comparative study of best practices and eventually to outline 20 guidelines and 100 strategic actions for future community regeneration projects. All in all, this book offers extensive information and a source of inspiration for urban planners, economists, sociologists, public administrators, stakeholders and all those involved in the development and management of sustainable cities.

Thinking
The product of an innovative research project realized in cooperation between three Swiss universities--École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne's School of Architecture, the College of Architecture and Technology in Fribourg, and the University of Fribourg--the smart living lab is a research and development center for the built environment of the future. This high-tech structure also serves as an emblem of the cooperative's aim to translate academic research into actual buildings. A new series of books entitled Towards 2050 will showcase the ambitious undertaking at various stages. The inaugural volume in the series, Thinking highlights preliminary research from the smart living lab and considers visions for sustainable buildings. Featuring interviews with leading experts, the book lays out the myriad challenges and opportunities the project is likely to face, as well as its considerable potential to drive change.
Urbanizing the Alps
For plenty years, many popular mountain resorts have seen largely uncontrolled development consisting of the multiplication of archetypal chalet-style houses. This is usually accompanied by roadbuilding for private cars. In order to protect these tourist destinations and their natural environs from further uncontrolled development, the author investigates different settlement structures such as Andermatt, Avoriaz, Verbier, Zermatt,and Whistler-Blackcomb. On the basis of detailed graphical analyses, she develops groundbreaking strategies for urban densification and suitable mobility management, which can also be transferred to other tourist areas.
The Trouts from London
"This is the history of the family of William (2) Trout, the eldest son of Henry George (1) Trout, who came from London to Canada in 1792 as a soldier in the British Army"--Page 1. Henry George Trout (1770-1852) and his regiment were sent to Quebec and to Upper Canada in 1792, and he married Rachel Emerson in 1798. They bought a hotel near Fort Erie, Ontario, which he managed, as well as running a ferry to Black Rock, New York. He served again in the British Army during the War of 1812, and moved to new land in Erin, Ontario in 1820. William Trout (1801-1877) married twice, had children by both marriages, and died in Meaford, Ontario. Descendants and relatives lived in Ontario, New Brunswick, Ontario, British Columbia and elsewhere. Some descendants immigrated to Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska in the United States, and progeny lived in there and in Illinois, New York, Texas, California and elsewhere.
