The climate crisis is hitting around the world, including in the Middle East and its cities. Urban regions are exposed to increasingly frequent heat waves and floods that leave decision makers without immediate answers. In the context of this global crisis, this book addresses the need for a better understanding of the current model of urban expansion. Cities are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions but they are also celebrated for their contribution to economic growth. The current moment is one of a large paradigm shift as climate change is now recognized as a legitimate public problem. This is especially true for city dwellers, who are increasingly exposed to climate change, the loss of biodiversity and heavy pollution while natural breathing spaces continue to shrink around them. The sixteen chapters of this book do not offer any off-the-rack or technical solutions, but they analyze the urban conundrum and the contribution of cities to the climate crisis. Some chapters focus on individual car ownership, land privatization, waste management and land use changes under the guise of development. Others explore local and contextual answers to urban governance issues. With the support of CEDEJ and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, researchers, experts and civil society actors explore the ongoing transformations of Middle Eastern urban environments and mobilities and question them in relation to the climate crisis. The contributions are based on empirical knowledge gathered in the Nile Delta, the Greater Cairo Region, Riyadh and Beirut. Without concessions to mainstream thinking, this book contributes to a better understanding of urban challenges, climate threats and policy responses in contexts marked by growing environmental inequalities.

This Special Issue is dedicated to sustainable mobility and transport, with a special focus on technological advancements. Global transport systems are significant sources of air, land, and water emissions. A key motivator for this Special Issue was the diversity and complexity of mitigating transport emissions and industry adaptions towards increasingly stricter regulation. Originally, the Special Issue called for papers devoted to all forms of mobility and transports. The papers published in this Special Issue cover a wide range of topics, aiming to increase understanding of the impacts and effects of mobility and transport in working towards sustainability, where most studies place technological innovations at the heart of the matter. The goal of the Special Issue is to present research that focuses, on the one hand, on the challenges and obstacles on a system-level decision making of clean mobility, and on the other, on indirect effects caused by these changes.

This Special Issue is entitled “Environmental Sustainability in Maritime Infrastructures”. Oceans and coastal areas are essential in our lives from several different points of view: social, economic, and health. Given the importance of these areas for human life, not only for the present but also for the future, it is necessary to plan future infrastructures, and maintain and adapt to the changes the existing ones. All of this taking into account the sustainability of our planet. A very significant percentage of the world's population lives permanently or enjoys their vacation periods in coastal zones, which makes them very sensitive areas, with a very high economic value and as a focus of adverse effects on public health and ecosystems. Therefore, it is considered very relevant and of great interest to launch this Special Issue to cover any aspects related to the vulnerability of coastal systems and their inhabitants (water pollution, coastal flooding, climate change, overpopulation, urban planning, waste water, plastics at sea, effects on ecosystems, etc.), as well as the use of ocean resources (fisheries, energy, tourism areas, etc.).

De auteur leeft al zijn hele leven zonder auto. Hij heeft - op een enkele uitzondering na tijdens zijn jeugd - nog nooit achter het stuur van een auto gezeten. Daarover heeft hij zich al talloze keren in gesprekken met autobezitters moeten verantwoorden. Als autoloze word je immers nog al te vaak als paria of zonderling beschouwd. Maar wie autoloos leeft kijkt ook anders en kritischer naar de vele schadelijke effecten van het fenomeen auto. En terecht! De auteur stoort zich al jarenlang mateloos aan al die ongevallen, de luchtvervuiling, de lawaaioverlast, de inname van openbare ruimte, de files, het nefaste effect op het buurtleven enz... Vandaar dat zijn boek een dubbel opzet heeft en in beide is hij met glans geslaagd. Enerzijds wilde hij aantonen dat je ook zonder auto wel degelijk een fantastisch leven kunt leiden - dat zou vanzelfsprekend nog geweldiger kunnen moest de overheid onder meer haar openbaar vervoer beter organiseren en meer en betere fiets- en voetpaden aanleggen. Anderzijds wilde hij de boodschap meegeven dat het autoverkeer de wereld herschapen heeft in een soort jungle waar niemand er nog absoluut zeker van kan zijn dat ie 's avond nog leeft. Ondanks alle inspanningen die de overheid nu al tientallen jaren levert om de nadelen van het autoverkeer op te vangen is de enige remedie hiervoor dat we met zijn allen minder auto gaan rijden. Precies de mensen die geen auto bezitten kunnen hiervoor de nodige inspiratie leveren.Het werk telt 5 hoofdstukken. Achtereenvolgens gaat het over de wijze waarop we ons verplaatsen, getuigen een 100-tal personen over hun leven zonder eigen auto, wordt het probleem auto in al zijn problematische aspecten uit de doeken gedaan en vervolgens de vraag beantwoord wat de overheid zou kunnen doen om het leven zonder auto makkelijker te maken. Het laatste hoofdstuk bevat een aantal tips voor wie eraan denkt om autoloos door het leven te gaan
