Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

Urban biodiversity is an increasingly popular topic among researchers. Worldwide thousands of research projects are unravelling how urbanisation impacts the biodiversity of cities and towns as well as its benefits for people and the environment through ecosystem services. Exciting scientific discoveries are made on a daily basis. However researchers often lack time and opportunity to communicate these findings to the community and those in charge of managing planning and designing for urban biodiversity. On the other hand urban practitioners frequently ask researchers for more comprehensible information and actionable tools to guide their actions. This book is designed to fill this cultural and communicative gap by discussing a selection of topics related to urban biodiversity as well as its benefits for people and the urban environment. It provides an interdisciplinary overview of scientifically grounded knowledge vital for current and future practitioners in charge of urban biodiversity management its conservation and integration into urban planning. Topics covered include pests and invasive species rewilding habitats the contribution of a diverse urban agriculture to food production implications for human well-being and how to engage the public with urban conservation strategies. For the first time world-leading researchers from five continents convene to offer a global interdisciplinary perspective on urban biodiversity narrated with a simple but rigorous language. This book synthesizes research at a level suitable for both students and professionals working in nature conservation and urban planning and management. | Urban Biodiversity From Research to Practice

Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action

Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action

Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements explores the long-held idea that urban planning is the link in moving from knowledge to action. Observing that the knowledge domain of the planning profession is constantly expanding the approach is a deep philosophical analysis of what is the quality and character of understanding that urban planners need for expert engagement in urban planning episodes. This book philosophically analyses the problems in understanding the nature of action — both individual and social action. Included in the analysis are the philosophical concerns regarding space/place and the institution of private property. The final chapter extensively explores the linkage between knowledge and action. This emerges as the process of design in seeking better urban communities — design processes that go beyond buildings tools or fashions but are focused on bettering human urban relationships. Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements provides rich analysis and understanding of the theory and history of planning and what it means for planning practitioners on the ground. | Urban Planning’s Philosophical Entanglements The Rugged Dialectical Path from Knowledge to Action

Urban Goods Movement A Guide to Policy and Planning

Urban Goods Movement A Guide to Policy and Planning

Freight transport is essential to modern urban civilization. No urban area could exist without a reliable freight transport system. Although the private sector is responsible for much of this system the public sector has a vital role to play in the provision of infrastructure and the establishment of a social and legal framework within which transport can occur. For these reasons goods movement deserves and is increasingly receiving explicit consideration in urban transport policy and planning. Many cities around the world have conducted studies aimed at resolving urban goods movement problems and a considerable if disparate body of research results are available. This book brings together much of this knowledge and experience in a comprehensive source of information on urban freight particularly from a public policy or planning viewpoint. It provides both a conceptual basis for urban goods movement analysis and detailed practical guidelines which may be used directly by those responsible for urban freight policy and planning. The author has worked for over twenty years in this field and he draws upon his experience in Australia the United States Great Britain Canada and The Philippines to produce a book which is international in scope and perspective. The book is written for practising professionals such as engineers economists and planners working in local government urban transport planning agencies highway authorities consultancies or research institutes; it is also relevant to graduate courses in transport planning traffic engineering or urban policy. It is of interest to all who have a concern for contemporary issues in urban development. | Urban Goods Movement A Guide to Policy and Planning

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 Social Sustainability Theory Policy and Practice

Urban Social Sustainability Theory Policy and Practice

This ground breaking volume raises radical critiques and proposes innovative solutions for social sustainability in the built environment. Urban Social Sustainability provides an in-depth insight into the discourse and argues that every urban intervention has a social sustainability dimension that needs to be taken into consideration and incorporated into a comprehensive and cohesive ‘urban agenda’ that is built on three principles of recognition integration and monitoring. This should be achieved through a dialogical and reflexive process of decision-making. To achieve sustainable communities social sustainability should form the basis of a constructive dialogue and be interlinked with other areas of sustainable development. This book underlines the urgency of approaching social sustainability as an urban agenda and goes on to make suggestions about its formulation. Urban Social Sustainability consists of original contributions from academics and experts within the field and explores the significance of social sustainability from different perspectives. Areas covered include urban policy transportation and mobility urban space and architectural form housing urban heritage neighbourhood development and urban governance.

The Social Impacts of Urban Containment

The Social Impacts of Urban Containment

One of the policies that has been most widely used to try to limit urban sprawl has been that of urban containment. These policies are planning controls limiting the growth of cities in an attempt to preserve open rural uses such as habitat agriculture and forestry in urban regions. While there has been a substantial amount of research into these urban containment policies most have focused on issues of land use consumption transportation impacts or economic development issues. This book examines the effects of urban containment policies on key social issues such as housing wealth building and creation racial segregation and gentrification. It argues that while the policies make important contributions to environmental sustainability they also affect affordability for all the economic groups of citizens aside from the most wealthy. However it also puts forward suggestions for revising such policies to counter these possible negative social impacts. As such it will be valuable reading for scholars of environmental planning social policy and regional development as well as for policy makers. | The Social Impacts of Urban Containment

Drama and Theatre in Urban Contexts

Drama and Theatre in Urban Contexts

Urban theatre can be described as theatre made with or by those whose lives are marked by the urban landscape and its social limits and possibilities. At the heart of this text lies the question of how theatre can illuminate the urban and how theatre is illuminated by the urban. The city like a play is a space where everything adopts multiple meanings. It is an objective thought and a subjective experience a charged and symbolic thing as well as a real material lived reality. The chapters in this book illustrate the theatre’s uncanny ability to narrate and symbolize the physical and psychic space of the city. Running through all of the pieces presented are the themes of power and of young people’s sense of agency within the structures they dwell in and are shaped by. Through drama education and applied theatre practices the affinity between the urban and its theatres is radically replaced by marginal spaces boulevards and schools. As Guillermo Gómez-Peña suggests the theatre has gone to the people to serve their local and immediate need for a means of holding the urban and the self so that both can be interrogated and re-imagined; so that the various dystopias of urban existence can be envisaged as places of urban solidarity and as utopias at least of the mind. This book was originally published as a special issue of Research in Drama Education: The Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance. | Drama and Theatre in Urban Contexts

Urban Politics Cities and Suburbs in a Global Age

Urban Politics Cities and Suburbs in a Global Age

Urban Politics blends the most insightful classic and current political science and related literature with current issues in urban affairs. The book’s integrative theme is ‘power ’ demonstrating that the study of urban politics requires an analysist to look beyond the formal institutions and procedures of local government. The book also develops important subthemes: the impact of globalization; the dominance of economic development over competing local policy concerns; the continuing importance of race in the urban arena; local government activism versus the ‘limits’ imposed on local action by the American constitutional system and economic competition; and the impact of national and state government action on cities. Urban Politics engages students with pragmatic case studies and boxed material that use classic and current urban films and TV shows to illustrate particular aspects of urban politics. The book’s substantial concluding discussion of local policies for environmental sustainability and green cities also appeals to today’s students. Each chapter has been thoroughly rewritten to clearly relate the content to current events and academic literature including the following: the importance of the intergovernmental city the role of local governments as active policy actors and vital policy makers even in areas outside traditional municipal policy concerns the prospects for urban policy and change in and beyond the Trump administration including the ways in which urban politics is affected by but not determined by Washington. Mixing classic theory and research on urban politics with the most recent developments and data in urban and metropolitan affairs Urban Politics 10e is an ideal introductory textbook for students of metropolitan and regional politics and policy. The book’s material on citizen participation urban bureaucracy policy analysis and intergovernmental relations also makes the volume an appropriate choice for Urban Administration courses.

Injustice in Urban Sustainability Ten Core Drivers

Injustice in Urban Sustainability Ten Core Drivers

This book uses a unique typology of ten core drivers of injustice to explore and question common assumptions around what urban sustainability means how it can be implemented and how it is manifested in or driven by urban interventions that hinge on claims of sustainability. Aligned with critical environmental justice studies the book highlights the contradictions of urban sustainability in relation to justice. It argues that urban neighbourhoods cannot be greener more sustainable and liveable unless their communities are strengthened by the protection of the right to housing public space infrastructure and healthy amenities. Linked to the individual drivers ten short empirical case studies from across Europe and North America provide a systematic analysis of research policy and practice conducted under urban sustainability agendas in cities such as Barcelona Glasgow Athens Boston and Montréal and show how social and environmental justice is or is not being taken into account. By doing so the book uncovers the risks of continuing urban sustainability agendas while ignoring and therefore perpetuating systemic drivers of inequity and injustice operating within and outside of the city. Accessibly written for students in urban studies critical geography and planning this is a useful and analytical synthesis of issues relating to urban sustainability environmental and social justice.
