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

Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

This title was first published in 2000: An original and thought-provoking analysis of modern initiatives in the tropical rain forest. While issues such as logging eco-timber eco-tourism have been widely analyzed from an outsider’s perspective this book considers them from the local people’s viewpoint in terms of a long history of the rainforest uses. The authors demonstrate that the relationship of indigenous people to the tropical forest is not essentially timeless nor is it primarily spiritual or mystical. It is in fact firmly connected to modern realities while still being rooted in historical beliefs and practices. Standing at the intersection of anthropology historical geography and rainforest ecology and also at the interface of the local and the global this ethnographically grounded study dispels a number of commonly held assumptions. It reveals how processes of ’impact’ are actually two-way interactions as local communities in Melanesia incorporate industries like logging into rapidly evolving post-colonial society and economy. | Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

This book tells the story of visionary urban experiments shedding light on the theories that preceded their development and on the monsters that followed and might be the end of our cities. The narrative is threefold and delves first into the eco-city second the smart city and third the autonomous city intended as a place where existing smart technologies are evolving into artificial intelligences that are taking the management of the city out of the hands of humans. The book empirically explores Masdar City in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong to provide a critical analysis of eco and smart city experiments and their sustainability and it draws on numerous real-life examples to illustrate the rise of urban artificial intelligences across different geographical spaces and scales. Theoretically the book traverses philosophy urban studies and planning theory to explain the passage from eco and smart cities to the autonomous city and to reflect on the meaning and purpose of cities in a time when human and non-biological intelligences are irreversibly colliding in the built environment. Iconoclastic and prophetic Frankenstein Urbanism is both an examination of the evolution of urban experimentation through the lens of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a warning about an urbanism whose product resembles Frankenstein’s monster: a fragmented entity which escapes human control and human understanding. Academics students and practitioners will find in this book the knowledge that is necessary to comprehend and engage with the many urban experiments that are now alive ready to leave the laboratory and enter our cities. | Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers presents new challenges to the environment workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i. e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute this book evaluates fashion trends what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social environmental and political factors should be maintained and business approaches adopted in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion. | Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

This collection invites readers to explore innovative or underexploited ways of working qualitatively with what in Translation Studies may be termed as elusive constructs. The volume adopts a functionalist approach to focus on one such concept namely the notion of translation problem using case studies to illustrate how a significant elusive construct can be addressed empirically. It explores different qualitative research methodologies which although well established in other fields are yet to be extensively used in TS but which may nevertheless prove to be of significance for future studies as they allow elusive concepts typically found in TS to be worked with more coherently. Chapters are structured around two core ideas: first the qualitative systematic analysis of source text content with emphasis on the detection of translation problems as a means of creating efficient frameworks for coherent decision-making from a functional perspective; and secondly the practical process of stereotyping and profiling specific problems within different contexts content types or services to help identify manage and resolve them in a number of settings from research to professional translator training and assessment environments. This book will be of interest to scholars in translation studies particularly those with an interest in qualitative approaches. | A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less rewrites the book on business and the environment. For the last thirty years corporate sustainability was synonymous with the pursuit of ‘eco-efficiency’ and ‘win-win’ opportunities. The notion of ‘eco-efficiency’ gives us the illusion that we can achieve environmental sustainability without having to question the pursuit of never-ending economic growth. The ‘win-win’ paradigm is meant to assure us that companies can be protectors of the environment whilst also being profit maximizers. It is abundantly clear that the state of the natural environment has further degraded instead of improved. This book introduces a new paradigm designed to finally reconcile business and the environment. It is called ‘net green’ which means that in these times of ecological overshoot businesses need to reduce total environmental impact and not just improve the eco-efficiency of their products. The book also introduces and explains the four pollution prevention principles ‘again’ ‘different’ ‘less’ and ‘labor not materials’. Together ‘net green’ and the four pollution prevention principles provide a road map for businesses and for every household to a world in which human prosperity and a healthy environment are no longer at odds. The Business of Less is full of anecdotes and examples. This brings its material to life and makes the book not only very accessible but also hugely applicable for everyone who is worried about the fate of our planet and is looking for answers. | The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril
