für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray 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

Kathmandu`s population is close to three million and has one of the largest urban population densities in the world. This research has analyzed and validated the significant role Inner City Green Space plays in highly dynamic Urban Planning process of developing cities like Kathmandu. The indigenous knowledge of the residents` of Kathmandu during 1930s to 1970s that incorporated environmental aspects on their daily living and planning of residential areas has been praiseworthy. The author has tried to sensitize the planners as well as city dwellers on the current status of these indigenous knowledge-based environmental initiatives required by geographical topography of the city. The research also appeals for an urgent attention of the educational institutions, urban planning and management authorities, local development bodies to create awareness among the residents and young generation between 13 to18 yrs on these environmental issues. Author dreams of Kathmandu of 1960s that constituted a perfect balance and harmony between human intrusion and environmental sustainability. ····· 10361114825

Empirical investigation has employed several data collection methods and techniques. By aid of statistical package for social scientists computer program, this data has been subjected to a scientific analysis and synthesis. The research has adopted the multiple regression models that significantly explain the variation of each environmental problem have been developed and documented. These models are significant at 95 degrees significant level. This proves that urban environment has a relationship with urban design, hence the research has accepted the alternative hypothesis that a relationship exist between design and urban environmental management. Through synthesis, independent variables explaining the dependent variables have been sorted out into urban patterns. These urban patterns have a further been discussed in the light of developing sustainable city environments. ····· 10361114794
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book addresses the role of architecture and human settlement policies towards achieving sustainable rural settlements. Insufficient knowledge on how to integrate architecture and policies has led to inappropriate approaches, programmes, campaigns and development projects in rural settlements. The research established that rural dwelling compound concept is an important cultural design consideration. A rural dwelling compound is composed of several house units for family members in respect of age, sex marital status and functions. Local knowledge is found to be very rich in rural architectural dwelling qualities including concentrated dwelling compound character which favours integration of living and working within one vicinity. Inadequate integration of these cultural and architectural dwelling compound qualities have contributed to failure of state policies such as Ujamaa (Socialism) Villagisation and Nyumba Bora (Good and decent houses) Housing policies in Tanzania. Rural-urban phenomenon of both rural and urban settings should be considered in future policy frameworks. However, policies should not impose urban planning and design concepts to rural contexts. ····· 10361114434
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Polycentricity has a broad and complex meaning that varies depending on the spatial, social, economic and historical perspective of the research. In Brazilian context, the metropolitan agglomerations have a predominantly monocentric configuration, which are nowadays experiencing the deconcentration of urban activities and an increase in urban mobility due to various economic and social trends. However, this trend toward polycentric development in Brazil is translated in high socio-spatial segregation and dispersed urban structure. This occurs because of the way to deal with the complexity and dynamism of the metropolis, which does not attend the new urban demands, promoting more fragmented rather than more integrated urban systems. This book examines the concept of polycentrism in its broader sense, providing a more comprehensive understanding about the theme in order to narrow the general definition down to the context of Brazilian metropolises. This investigation takes into account three aspects of the urban system: morphology, socio-economic relationships, and governance, aiming to find out the main synergies (relations) within city. ····· 10361114432
für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Bangladesh is a country vast, largely unknown natural beauty and reserves which are simply unique and fascinating, holding high potentiality for tourism. In many parts of the world, tourism has contributed to the dual goal of poverty eradication and conservation. The co-existence of nature with impoverished communities offers an opportunity for pro-poor tourism. Tourism can support livelihood diversification, which is particularly important in remote areas as it is also labor-intensive, can grow with unspecialized labor and has low entry barriers. Bangladesh has limited natural forest resources which are very necessary for the ecological balance in the country and hence these should be protected efficiently. The present research work seeks to gain an understanding of ecotourism in a global context by examining how it has been conceptualized over time and analyzing the fields from which the concept originated. The work discusses how conservation and ecotourism has been conceptualized and implemented in Bangladesh by analyzing historical developments in environmental issues, the national economy, and the national tourism sector. ····· 10361114373
für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray This book examines decentralization strategies applied in both developed and developing countries. It proposes a set of empirical measures to analyze decentralization by investigating the extent of local agency power over decision-making for comprehensive planning. The book shows findings of a Delphi study conducted to develop measures of dimensions of local agency power (agency legal authority, relative autonomy, control over planning actions, and capacity to make planning decisions), which were tested empirically in Florida (USA). The State of Florida has experienced changes in its governmental decentralization levels since the adoption of its growth management program in the 1970s. The proposed empirical measures analyze decentralization from below by dealing with local governments as disaggregated units, demonstrate variations in levels of power across Florida`s municipalities, and capture the economic, political, and administrative dimensions of decentralization. The book indicates how statewide growth management programs may reduce the power of local governments over planning decision-making, which increases levels of state centralization. ····· 10361114356

This book discusses the relationship between urban form and sustainable development, energy consumption for transportation, environmental and social sustainability and also the quality of life in the city. To identify the strategies for design and planning sustainable city form, this volume puts the two contradictory yet predominant theories in practice: the Compact city Idea from the European context, and Urban Sprawl theory from Australia and North America. Four types of urban forms are selected as case studies and are measured in detail, in terms of their density and land use pattern. This volume proposes the applicable strategies for achieving a greater urban sustainability based on the empirical evidences from the west of Scotland-UK. It argues the necessity of Mixed use function which should be combined with `Density` measures simultaneously to create a new balanced model which can be termed Compact- mixed use city form as the alternative for achieving urban sustainability. ····· 10361114327

für 61.20€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray Local governments are tasked to supply a range of services from those that exhibit mainly private goods to those that exhibit mainly public goods characteristics. Executing these tasks requires huge public expenditure and needs to be financed by citizens who demand these needs. In most parts of the World this is done through property taxation together with central government subventions. However, property rating in Ghana has failed to provide the expected bulk of local revenue to offset local government budget deficits and supplement the District Assemblies Common Fund at the Metropolitan, Municipal and District levels. The application of good governance is necessary to improve property rate administration as a reliable source of local government revenue and balancing factor to her budget deficits. This study therefore examines the current performance of property rating within the decentralization policy of Ghana and the extent to which good governance indicators have been applied to improve property rate administration -mobilisation and utilization. ····· 10361114061

It is only recently, however, that the concept has come to define a research agenda looking at both the causes and consequences of landscape change. In this research, a transdisciplinary approach was used to investigate the character and qualities of two agricultural landscapes and to understand past and future change. Through farm-based assessments, landscape character was analysed in terms of landscape coherences. Semi-structured interviews with farmers` enabled these coherences to be related to farmers` activities and management motives. `Leitbilder` were developed at the local and farm level and the link between farm and locality explored. A clear link was found between farmers` attitudes towards landscape and the contribution of their farms to the local landscape. The `Leitbild` approach elaborated in this research offers new opportunities for agricultural policy development and future landscape planning. ····· 10361114043
für 71.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray For centuries, the majority of human movement was restricted to walking. Regardless of how someone travels, at some point during their trip they will become a pedestrian. With the popularization of the private automobile in the 20th Century, this balance was tilted towards mechanized movement, initially in advanced countries. The decline of pedestrian share in the transportation system has led to ever increasing congestion, pollution, insecurity, and lack of vitality in neighbourhoods at city centres and beyond. Now, however, particularly in advanced countries, new attention is being paid to pedestrian movement in order to preserve or redirect the neighbourhoods toward sustainability. In the developing world, however, such attention so far has been marginal. The author believes that the City of Tehran, like most others large cities in the developing countries, needs to review and improve its pedestrian network and can be a walkable city where walking becomes a meaningful transportation choice for efficient and healthy social interaction. This research offers new information for city managers and urban designers who wish to improve the pedestrian share of transportation. ····· 10361113964

The battle for sustainable development will be won or lost in (or because of) cities. The first reason is simply their sheer size, this extraordinary concentration of people and activities. Furthermore, cities are the only places where people and resources congregate at a point beyond which synergetic effects become more important than simply additive ones. Cities also promote open democracies and produce models that are disseminated to the World. The book offers a 360 view of the challenges facing cities in terms of growth and competitiveness, governance, sustainability, social inclusion, science, culture and the arts, urban renaissance and planning, and indicates innovative responses by pioneer cities. ····· 10361113668

The main issue is, as for an urban designer, to develop and test new ways of action in transforming territories, when working on a site-specific case: peripheral city of Bytom. The binding and framing method for such an experiment is landscape urbanism. In the wider perspective the discussion of the tendencies and the directions of the development in the Upper Silesia are addressed. The project outcome is also seen as the polemic and contribution to the overall debate on the shrinking cities phenomena and shrinking tendencies in the Upper Silesia. The book is addressed to all urban and landscape designers, who approach the postindustrial territories and want to utilize concepts of landscape urbanism to re-conquer these voids into the urban structure. ····· 10361113598

Postcolonial African cities are in most instances defined by a bricolage of cultures producing a variety of spatial outcomes, some positive while others are negative. With regard to accommodating difference, many urban managers ignore these cultural facets of their communities and would rather diffuse them to simpler socioeconomic units like class, age or gender. This book explores these multicultural issues from a planning perspective using a case study of a suburb in Nairobi, Kenya. The study area is home to an influential class of Somali migrants who are the majority amongst a host of different Kenyan communities. Land and property contestations and appropriations are defined as much by capital as well as cultural grouping. Within this multicultural mix lie opportunities as well as widening inequalities that alter and reshape the social and built environment at an abnormally very high pace presenting a number of planning challenges. ····· 10361113426

The same landscape barred public access to the shoreline, contaminated soils and polluted waterways while providing millions with a means of livelihood. Like a glacier, this industrial landscape has been in a long recession leaving behind a scattered moraine of docks, cranes, warehouses, factories, mills, power plants, and rails. Some of this infrastructure is critical to active waterfront businesses -- other industrial relicts will never again support industry. The best practices for preserving viable waterfront industry and adaptively incorporating relict industrial structures in redeveloped waterfront sites have yet to be fully understood by planners, developers, preservationists and public officials. Spector`s research on the topic, originally published as her Master`s Thesis,examines how planning approach, funding opportunities, remediation technology, and industrial histories will affect the viability of urban waterfronts in the 21st century. ····· 10361113331· 1 · ::::: · 2 ·· 3 ·· 4 ·· 5 ·· 6 ·· 7 ·· 8 · ::::: · 13 ·
