Urban Soils

Urban Soils

Globally 30% of the world population lived in urban areas in 1950 54% in 2016 and 66% projected by 2050. The most urbanized regions include North America Latin America and Europe. Urban encroachment depletes soil carbon and the aboveground biomass carbon pools enhancing the flux of carbon from soil and vegetation into the atmosphere. Thus urbanization has exacerbated ecological and environmental problems. Urban soils are composed of geological material that has been drastically disturbed by anthropogenic activities and compromised their role in the production of food aesthetics of residential areas and pollutant dynamics. Properties of urban soils are normally not favorable to plant growth—the soils are contaminated by heavy metals and are compacted and sealed. Therefore the quality of urban soils must be restored to make use of this valuable resource for delivery of essential ecosystem services (e. g. food water and air quality carbon sequestration temperature moderation biodiversity). Part of the Advances in Soil Sciences Series Urban Soils explains properties of urban soils; assesses the effects of urbanization on the cycling of carbon nitrogen and water and the impacts of management of urban soils soil restoration urban agriculture and food security; evaluates ecosystem services provisioned by urban soils and describes synthetic and artificial soils.

Urban Quay Walls

Urban Quay Walls

Since the thirteenth century quay walls of significant retaining height have been built in the Netherlands in urban environments. Over time structural revisions were often carried out due to excessive deformations or the use of increasingly larger and deeper vessels. These historic quay walls were seldom designed for the current functional requirements they are subjected to. These mostly older quay walls require more maintenance and revisions to secure a certain degree of safety. In some cases they need to be demolished and completely rebuilt. Urban Quay Walls offers safety protocols and a clear approach on how to inspect design and maintain urban quay walls. The book offers: - an insight on the development of urban quay walls; - a description of the main forms (as used in The Netherlands); - quicksteps for the inspection of existing quay walls. Urban Quay Walls presents a proposal for a uniform and standardised method to verify the actual state of current quay walls in urban environments. This handbook presents an overview of the development of urban quay walls over the course of time and describes the main types in use in the Netherlands. Subsequently a method is presented for deciding whether or not a historic quay wall needs to be renovated renewed or maintained.

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Searching for a needle in a haystack is an important task in several contexts of data analysis and decision-making. Examples include identifying the insider threat within an organization the prediction of failure in industrial production or pinpointing the unique signature of a solo perpetrator such as a school shooter or a lone wolf terrorist. It is a challenge different from that of identifying a rare event (e. g. a tsunami) or detecting anomalies because the needle is not easily distinguished from the haystack. This challenging context is imbued with particular difficulties from the lack of sufficient data to train a machine learning model through the identification of the relevant features and up to the painful price of false alarms which might cause us to question the relevance of machine learning solutions even if they perform well according to common performance criteria. In this book Prof. Neuman approaches the problem of finding the needle by specifically focusing on the human factor from solo perpetrators to insider threats. Providing for the first time a deep critical multidimensional and methodological analysis of the challenge the book offers data scientists and decision makers a deep scientific foundational approach combined with a pragmatic practical approach that may guide them in searching for a needle in a haystack. | How to Find a Needle in a Haystack From the Insider Threat to Solo Perpetrators

Research Tracks in Urbanism: Dynamics Planning and Design in Contemporary Urban Territories

Research Tracks in Urbanism: Dynamics Planning and Design in Contemporary Urban Territories

Maybe the Global Village metaphor has never been more accurate than it is today where societies join forces in the fight against the COVID 19 pandemic in a global coordinated effort possibly never tested before in the known history of Humankind. Although we are sure that in the past some other shared demands have united the different peoples of the world this has never been so strongly necessary mainly in what the global scientific community is concerned. This is a fight for the survival of a society. However we should not lose sight of what we are fighting for. We fight together for people. Not just for the abstract value of Human life but for life in society as a whole including its moral and ethical aspects. The topics of this book are based on this claim on what makes it possible. We do not build our lives in a vacuum or in distant Invisible Cities but through a higher value which represents physical life in society: the City built by the discipline of Urbanism. This book is a spin-off of the International Research Seminar on Urbanism_SIIU2020. Inspired by the contents of twelve research seminars a group of researchers from the universities of Barcelona Lisbon and São Paulo discuss the contemporary agenda of research in Urbanism. Following the conference a selection of 35 original double-blind peer-reviewed research papers were brought together with different perspectives about such an agenda. | Research Tracks in Urbanism: Dynamics Planning and Design in Contemporary Urban Territories

Eco-Cities A Planning Guide

Eco-Cities A Planning Guide

As cities undergo vast changes due to industrialization urbanization and globalization environmental considerations assume a growing importance in the urban planning processes of an increasing number of governments around the world. Several cities and regions around the world have already enacted policies that signal the emergence of a paradigm of sustainability in eco-cities planning. Providing an overview of urban ecosystem structure function and change Eco-Cities: A Planning Guide addresses how to successfully accomplish eco-city planning that meets government requirements. It adds a new dimension to the understanding and application of the concept of urban sustainability based on hypotheses about feedback between social and biogeophysical processes. Emphasizing integration the first part of the book discusses various aspects of planning theory. It presents three innovative theories for socioeconomic models: a theory on the locational choices made by households and firms an urban version of the stream continuum concept and an application of metacommunity theory to the fragmented urban biota. These theories raise new urban planning questions and stimulate integrated modeling. The book also introduces urban planning modeling that uses existing social vegetation ecohydrological and ecosystem service modules but is refined and operated for enhanced cross-disciplinary integration and prediction. The second part of the book consists of several case studies of Chinese eco-cities covering a majority of the urban development patterns that offer in-depth examples of planning practices currently in use. Drawing on experimentation comparison long-term measurement and modeling this fascinating guide helps readers better understand eco-cities and eco-landscapes as integrated spatially extensive complex adaptive systems. It lays a solid foundation for engagement between urban planners researchers educators policy makers and citizens as they work to adapt to changing environmental social and economic conditions. | Eco-Cities A Planning Guide

What if environmentally damaged landscapes could not only be remediated from an ecological standpoint but also designed to replenish an entire community as well as the nature surrounding it? The Handbook of Regenerative Landscape Design incorporates ecology engineering sociology and design elements into a new paradigm for environmental restoration and the renewal of urban and cultural sites. This is the first resource in the field to examine the collaborative roles of scientists landscape architects and urban planners in transforming degraded landscapes into sustainable communities for both people and wildlife. Top practitioners and theorists from different fields and perspectives contribute innovative case studies that converge in their emphasis on new uses for reclaimed land rather than a return to its original state. In addition this book is one in only a handful to address the system conditions necessary for the repair of severely degraded landscapes especially in an urban context. It elucidates the most suitable remediation strategies for treating degraded environments such as industrial landfills mining sites buried urban rivers heavily polluted or effectively destroyed wetlands Superfund sites and abandoned factories. Bringing the perspectives of landscape architects scientists and urban planners to a wider audience the Handbook of Regenerative Landscape Design demonstrates how ecological landscape restoration processes can facilitate sociological and urban renewal initiatives.

Smart Cities at Play: Technology and Emerging Forms of Playfulness

Smart Cities at Play: Technology and Emerging Forms of Playfulness

This book explores how smart cities enable new and playful ways for citizens to experience inhabit and socialise within urban environments. It examines how the functionality of digital technologies within municipal settings can extend beyond environmental pragmatism and socio-economic concerns to include playful approaches to urban spaces that co-constitute and reinvigorate the experience of place through location-based applications and games. Chapters highlight the varied ways the city as both a conceptual and lived space is changing because of this confluence of technologies. The book also considers the extent to which these transformations form an armature upon which more playful approaches to the urban domain are emerging while exploring what effect these ludic formations might have on related understandings of sociability. Smart Cities at Play: Technology and Emerging Forms of Playfulness will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of information technology urban planning and design games and interactive media human-centred and user-centred design human centred interaction digital geography and sociology.
