How can agriculture contribute to the sustainable development of European cities? How can agriculture and horticulture create vital urban spaces that have new social and ecological qualities and are also economically viable? Urban Agriculture Europe is the first comprehensive, transdisciplinary publication about urban agriculture in Europe. Apart from well-known examples of urban food gardens in Western European metropolises, this volume also studies innovative forms of agriculture on the urban periphery, bringing in experiences in Eastern and Southern Europe. The contributions approach urban agriculture from the point of view of social science, the economy, agricultural ecology, and spatial planning and address the role of citizens, involved parties, and politics, as well as operational models and planning tools. Case studies from Barcelona, Dublin, Geneva, Milan, Sofia, Warsaw, and the Ruhr Metropolis allow a comparative view of European practice. Statements from involved parties and guidance for cities and regions round off the publication.

In deze geheel bijgewerkte en herziene druk van hun succesvolle boek zetten Sabine Oberhuber en Thomas Rau in negen hoofdstukken een nieuw economisch model uiteen. Een model waarin de consument niet langer ‘eigenaar’ maar ‘gebruiker’ is, materialen rechten krijgen en afval verleden tijd is. Material Matters schetst het model dat deze transitie mogelijk maakt. Met diverse cases tonen Oberhuber en Rau aan dat een toekomstbestendige wereld weleens dichtbij zou kunnen liggen. Het is toegankelijk en meeslepend geschreven en zal mensen aanspreken die zich herkennen in het motto Don’t own, enjoy! En verder iedereen die openstaat voor uitdagend en revolutionair denken.

City as Loft examines the remarkable legacy of the industrial age in the United States, Russia, Brazil, China, and Europe. Looking at thirty case studies of repurposed industrial areas, the editors have assembled a variety of essays and interviews to provide a full cast of characters and context for each location, while scholars have contributed information on the history and theory behind the conversion of industrial spaces into other uses. The volume is rounded out with breathtaking images of each venture and an infographic by famed Dutch designer Joost Grootens that allows for the reader to visually compare all thirty projects.

"For sustainable architecture to become a reality, the way we design buildings needs to change. Many architects are concerned that sustainable technologies may interfere with a building's aesthetic appearance and so these are often 'added on' once the design process is complete. Elements of Sustainable Architecture solves this dilemma by helping students to develop the design skills they need to create sustainable buildings - ensuring that ecological considerations are applied throughout the design process. Restoring the primacy of aesthetics and creativity to sustainable design, the book focuses on strategies which have the greatest impact on building design. It also shows the influence sustainability considerations have on choices about aspects such as composition, form, space, tectonics, materials, color, textures, proportion, and position. Specifically designed to offer a new way of understanding architecture, the book: Introduces students to the basic principles and methods of sustainable design; Features current examples and inspiring case studies to support learning step-by-step; Presents information in a visually appealing, intuitive, easy-to-understand way; Includes over 500 high quality color diagrams, drawings, sketches and photographs. A clear, visual introduction to creating aesthetically beautiful and sustainable buildings, this is essential reading for students on sustainable architecture courses" [Publisher]

This book, the first in a planned series, reports on the 'Future Cities Laboratory' and its ambitious mission to shape sustainable future cities through science, by design, in place. It offers a global perspective on cities from the vantage point of Asia, where the laboratory is based. This view has particular significance today as the fortunes of Asia, the world's most populous and rapidly urbanizing continent, will also delineate the prospects of the planet.
