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

Phycoremediation Processes in Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Phycoremediation Processes in Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Increasing population and industrialization are the key pollutant contributors in water bodies. The wastes generated by industries are highly hazardous for humans and the ecosystem and require a comprehensive and effective treatment before being discharged into water bodies. Over the years many up gradations have been introduced in traditional water treatment methods which were expensive and ineffective especially for removal of toxic pollutants. Phycoremediation has been gaining attention due to its mutual benefit in wastewater treatment and for valuable algae biomass production. Wastewater especially sewage and industrial effluents is rich in pathogenic organisms organic and inorganic compounds and heavy metals that adversely affect human and aquatic life.

Agroecology Sustainable Ecosystem

Agroecology Sustainable Ecosystem

Agroecology literacy is 'the degree to which people have an objective and well-informed understanding of crop production with environmental issues. ' The increased food grain production has also increased the unscientific and indiscriminate use of agrochemicals which has affected the soil health and degraded agroecosystem adversely and brought down the immunity of soil and the productivity of crops. In addition it has resulted in the over-exploitation of soil leading to nutrient imbalance. Moreover the negative impact of chemical agriculture on the environment and human health has been reported and documented. Increased environmental awareness and health consciousness promoted scientists and planners to think about sustainable farming practices as an alternate way for healthy agriculture to protect the environment and human health. Eco-friendly methods or ecosystem services are one solution to manage this issue. This book intends to provide the core elements of a curriculum for teaching agroecology at colleges and universities.
