Impact of Urbanization on Groundwater

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh, has one of the fastest urban growth rates among the developing countries. Groundwater provides about 87% of the total water supply of the city. Due to rapid increase in population the demand of water for the city has raised from 150 mld in 1963 to 2100 mld in 2005. Thereby, groundwater abstraction in the city has increased more than 700% from 1960 to 1995. But the rate of recharge to the aquifer is decreasing with increase in pavement area. The declining rate of water level is 2-3m per year. This book aims to understand the urbanization pattern and its impacts on the groundwater of the city. Data and information regarding urbanization of Dhaka collected from BBS. Statistics relating to water production, supply and demand, system loss are collected from DWASA. Groundwater level data from BWDB and BADC have been used to construct hydrographs of different locations in the city which indicate the increasing trend of drop of water level and higher vulnerability of groundwater of the city. Therefore, this book has intended to put forward some measures that may contribute effectively in the sustainable utilization of groundwater resource. ····· 10361119349

Skywalks as Heritage

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Skywalks are a unique typology of second-level pedestrian networks that link parking and downtown destinations. They were implemented throughout North American cities to attract pedestrians and sustain retail in central business districts. The rarity of skywalk systems, their relevance to the particularities of American urban design and their position at the intersection of major concerns of the American city: traffic, downtown revitalization, and identity (Fruin 1971 Robertson 1994 McMorough 2001) provided the departure point for examining skywalks as heritage. As the viability of skywalks is questioned, this study employs a toolkit based on the theory and values of heritage preservation to evaluate skywalks as built heritage. The results are used to recommend scenarios that utilize the significance of skywalks to take them into a new cycle of sustainability through re-use and preservation. These findings are meant to offer urban planning professionals, local government decision makers, real estate developers and grassroots organizations a new perspective and a new resource to aid in the continuous challenge of dealing with the contested heritage of skywalk systems. ····· 10361119267

In Africa today issues of how to develop the continent to bring about meaningful development have been underway since the 1960`s. Different debates on what is to be the engine for development have emerged in various part of the continent. The 1990`s can be described as the era that ushered a major global development paradigm with increasing focus on people`s welfare, poverty alleviation, the access to information and technology, economic and regional integration and the environment. Increasingly, African leaders and the donor community recognize that regional cooperation and integration can help bring Africa into the global economy. African countries recognize that purely national programmes will not achieve the growth rates needed to combat poverty, hence the need for international programmes. African states are now more then ever starting to look amongst themselves for the desired developments. This ultimately inspired the establishment of NEPAD. ····· 10361119053

Curitiba, the capital city of the Paraná state in southeastern Brazil, has become a global model for urban development, environment preservation and transit. This book releases Curitiba`s odyssey through pioneering and developing Bus Rapid Transit pari-passu` with urban and metropolitan planning, bringing valuable experiences to cities worldwide. Similarly, this book contrasts Curitiba`s design as a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) with Brasilia`s (Brazil`s capital city and most iconic Brazilian city) design as a Design Oriented to Traffic (DOT). Beginning with former Mayor and Architect Jaime Lerner`s plans in the 1960s, Curitiba grew fast to almost 2 million inhabitants with quality of life as main achievement. The 1965, 1975, 1991, 2000 and 2004 Master Plans, as well as the controversial 1943 Agache`s Plan, were revisited to extract lessons and parameters for such development. These plans` lessons greatly influenced the planning directions in some South American cities such as Bogotá, Santiago and Lima, and also important North American cities like Portland, OR San Francisco and Los Angeles, CA.

Physically and historically, Bangkok has been shaped by its relationship to its waterfront. Flowing 370 kilometers through Thailand, the Chao Phraya River is more than the nation s lifeline. It was a principal waterway that largely determined the expansion of this former agricultural city. With the advent of industrialization, the focus shifted to the establishment and consolidation of man-made infrastructures such as roads and highways, leaving the waterfronts as large areas of underused land, deteriorated ports, warehouses, and informal settlements. With recent developments turning their backs onto the waterfront, the diminishing public exposure and access to the Chao Phraya River means it is quickly losing its historic role as a valuable asset and resource for the capital. This study proposes the establishment of a green network along the Chao Phraya River by opening up and developing selected underused areas, and connecting them with the new systematic water transportation. ····· 10361115592

From Formality to Informality

Knowledge is an important factor in production and marketing, and cities are its focal point. Kampala`s informal economy has in the past been dominated by people of low education, illiterate and semi- literate. This trend is rapidly changing as more educated people join this informal economy. The book explores the implications of the influx of educated people into the informal economy. The influx has led to innovation in production and collaborations. It continues to be a source of income and employment for a large segment of urban dwellers and continues to grow, in spite of the poor working conditions, lack of job security as well as social security. The discussion is relevant for urban planners and practitioners in developing countries that sport the largest informal economies. ····· 10361115503

The population of Bangladesh is increasing and land is being converted from productive purposes to other uses. Present per capita agricultural land of 0.056 hectare will be decreased to 0.025 hectare by 2050. Land reclamation would offer a new dimension of poverty alleviation by allocating new lands to landless people and for other productive development. In such context this book aims to explore on the apposite land reclamation techniques and new town development strategy in Bangladesh. To generate this book basic concepts, available techniques some cities developed on reclaimed land have been studied to produce ideas about major difficulties to develop such cities. Besides that the driving forces of land reclamation for Bangladesh are also tried to find out. Based on these driving forces, rate of land accretion and erosion and analysis of basic features of Bay of Bengal, potential locations of land reclamation have been identified. Project inflow-outflow activities have been discussed to conceptualize and generate the project. Finally, a group of actors has been delineated who could get involved in the initiation and implementation of land reclamation projects. ····· 10361115400

Leather industry is one of the export oriented industries of Bangladesh which is gaining both economic and industrial importance now a day. The migration of leather tanning activity from developed to developing countries over the past four decades has also helped this manufacturing activity to increase. The main tannery area is at Hazaribagh in Dhaka. Since precautionary and protective measures have not been taken from the beginning, the environmental condition of Hazaribagh area has been deteriorating for many years. Eventually, it fosters the need of securing this development and growth of tanneries by ensuring the environmental security of the tanning sector and government has launched a relocation project of tannery industries from Hazaribagh to a new area located at Savar. But this relocation project proves to go in vain because of unwillingness to move of the tannery owners and in terms of the cost effectiveness and potential environmental threat of the new area. The redevelopment of the Hazaribagh area after relocation is also seemed to be impossible due to the enormous risk of consequence of the polluted soil, air and water to the human body and structure. ····· 10361115088

Designing Ecologies

In new suburban development, native trees, meadows, groves, hedgerows, woodland and forest patches on a site need not only to be preserved as green infrastructure, but also integrated into community planning as ecological infrastructure for sustainability concerns. This book, reflecting on contemporary urbanism theory and practice, suggests a new approach, as informed by scale thinking of the site`s ecology, for sustainable urban development. The approach is tested using a housing development project in a hedgerow-dominated suburban landscape in the Southeast United States. It is demonstrated that green infrastructure, in various forms, can be integrated in urban and landscape planning as ecological infrastructure and landscape interfaces to direct land use planning, and provide innovative ways in which such vernacular landscapes can be preserved and integrated into urban development without losing their contextual inspiration. At larger scale, the global environmental crisis challenging human well-being can only be addressed if the lessons learned from a small eco-town are to be scaled up and applied to an eco-society at large based on the same ecological design principles. ····· 10361115058

Urban Agriculture and its role in sustainable development have primarily been regarded from its ecological, social and economical dimensions while spatial issues remain side-lined. However the question about space provisions for Urban Agriculture is crucial in cities like Harare in Zimbabwe which has undergone a large influx of urban agricultural activities. Like most African cities, Urban Agriculture in Harare has social and economical merits, but has many failings in its spatial context ranging from environmental degradation to land conflicts among other problems. This book looks at opportunities to redefine spatial allocations to accommodate viable food production measures in Harare. A critique of the compact city` model promoted in the west` is discussed. Urban agriculture and the communities it supports, challenge through the focus of their lives, this western preoccupation. Opportunities for implementing architectural interventions and urban design strategies related to sustainable city development are discussed. The examples shown demonstrate how difficult it is for various authorities to equitably regulate, authorize or promote urban agriculture and yet they must. ····· 10361114857
