Abstract

"With more than half of the world's population now living in urbanized areas and the threats of climate change and resource depletion becoming tangible, Sustainable Urban Design is quickly becoming a critical field. The Sustainable Urban Design Handbook gathers the best sustainability practices and latest research from the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, planning, development, ecology and environmental engineering and presents them in a graphically rich and easy to access format that is a resource for urban design projects of all scales. The book presents a comprehensive Sustainable Urban Design Framework that organizes the many elements of urban design in relation to four main resource targets: Transportation Based Energy Use, Water, Ecology and Habitat, and Non-Transportation Based Energy Use and Production and four key scales: Regional, Neighborhood/District, Street/Block, and Project/Parcel. The framework allows designers and planners to see the range of elements they should address in any given scale project as well as the related elements that exist at other scales. Each element is broken out in its own section that describes the element and its importance, compares typical practices and recommended approaches, explains the connection to other elements, and ends with a list of 'Rules of Thumb' that can be used to directly guide project work. Easy to use and reference, The Sustainable Urban Design Handbook provides both an in depth introduction to topics across sustainable urban design and serves as an on-going desktop reference for anyone involved in the creation of sustainable urban environments"--

Abstract

"Frontiers in Sustainable Cities aims to develop a multi-disciplinary academic approach to life in contemporary and future urban environments. The journal publishes rigorously peer-reviewed, cutting-edge research on a broad range of topics, from engineering and urban studies to social sciences, with a focus on achieving sustainable living processes within future urban landscapes (in line with SDGs). To achieve resilience, environmental health, people's inclusion, equality and healthy living in the face of the severe economical and environmental challenges facing the world today, international collaboration across all disciplines is required, including aspects on energy engineering, human geography and economics, architecture, governance and political science, public health, natural and behavioural science."

Abstract

Comment les habitants, y compris les plus défavorisés, peuvent-ils devenir les acteurs de la transition ?écologique et sociale ? Comment envisager d’autres façons de travailler et d’habiter plus pérennes ? Comment partager plus équitablement les ressources d’un monde commun ? À ces questions, l’initiative citoyenne de la Ferme du Rail apporte des réponses concrètes. Première ferme urbaine à Paris, elle relocalise la production de fruits et légumes tout en permettant à des personnes en réinsertion de se loger et de travailler dignement. Construite en matériaux renouvelables par des artisans locaux, son architecture se fonde sur des liens retrouvés entre les territoires urbains et agricoles, entre les humains et le reste des vivants. La Ferme du Rail réconcilie écologie, architecture et urbanisme. Clara et Philippe Simay, membres du collectif à l’origine de ce projet, reviennent ici sur son histoire et sa philosophie pour se donner collectivement les moyens de d?fendre et prendre soin de nos lieux de vie.
