Understanding Urban Metabolism A Tool for Urban Planning

Understanding Urban Metabolism A Tool for Urban Planning

Understanding Urban Metabolism addresses the gap between the bio-physical sciences and urban planning and illustrates the advantages of accounting for urban metabolism issues in urban design decisions. Urban metabolism considers a city as a system and distinguishes between energy and material flows as its components. Based on research from the BRIDGE project this book deals with how the urban surface exchanges and transforms energy water carbon and pollutants in cities. This book also introduces a new method for evaluating how planning alternatives can modify the physical flows of urban metabolism components and how environmental and socioeconomic components interact. The inclusion of sustainability principles into urban planning provides an opportunity to place the new knowledge provided by bio-physical sciences at the centre of the planning process but there is a strong need to bridge knowledge and practice as well as for a better dissemination of research results and exchange of best practice. This book meets that need and provides the reader with the necessary tools to integrate an understanding of urban metabolism into urban planning practice. | Understanding Urban Metabolism A Tool for Urban Planning

Educating the Neoliberal Whole Child A Genealogical Approach

Educating the Neoliberal Whole Child A Genealogical Approach

This book questions what ‘educating the whole child’ means in the context of our current neoliberal education system. In analysing the impact of how education policy is enacted and understood it examines how this ‘neoliberalisation’ has shaped the personal and ethical relations of education. The book is unique in raising questions about the way in which a common and universally held truth about the importance and value of educating the whole child is conceptualised and articulated in education policy. Employing Foucault’s concepts of bio power governmentality the dispositif and subjectivities this book explores the importance of psy-scientific knowledge systems of education governance and classroom practices in constructing a neoliberal whole child. It examines how government policy structures the relationship between the child school and government and claims that current policy and practice operate as forms of bio power that extends neoliberal governance to the emotional and moral life of the child. Educating the Neoliberal Whole Child will be of great interest to researchers academics and students in the fields of education policy sociology of education and critical pedagogy. It is also a valuable addition to studies of Foucault and education. | Educating the Neoliberal Whole Child A Genealogical Approach
