Abstract

The present study was born out of an agreement between the Sieben Linden community (Siedlungsgenossenschaft Ökodorf e.G.) and the Politecnico di Torino (DIST), approved on May 9, 2013. The Politecnico team, led by professor Andrea Bocco, intended to perform an overall analysis of the way of living in the ecovillage, including a number of areas among which are agriculture, biodiversity, building, decision-making, diet, economy, energy, land husbandry, etc. The Sieben Linden community, on the other hand, was particularly interested in having a new ecological impact assessment done, a dozen years after that by the University of Kassel (Dangelmeyer et al. 2004).

Abstract

This book aims to account for how project learning and adaptation occurs through Developmental Evaluation (DE), especially under conditions of uncertainty, complexity and change. Drawing on enactive cognitive science, the author presents a DE framework designed to augment traditional monitoring and evaluation activities. Discussing this framework in detail, the author also reports upon an extended case project investigating the sustainability of a market town in the UK. The framework aims to support the reader in capturing second-order learning and exploring opportunities for innovative responses to dynamic, uncertain and complex operational conditions. Recommendations are offered for future research, and how the framework might be incorporated into the design and funding of projects deployed to work with wicked problems.

Abstract

L'architecte P. Bouchain et l'agence Construire ont réalisé à Beaumont, en Ardèche, huit logements sociaux pionniers fondés sur des charpentes en ogive, qui démontrent qu'il est possible de construire autrement, en redéfinissant les relations entre habitats individuel et collectif. Les deux carnets, dont celui de l'architecte, témoignent de cette expérience singulière.

Abstract

En dix ans, l'habitat participatif est passé de projet anecdotique et expérimental à une pratique récurrente des collectivités et institutions publiques. Tout en donnant de la visibilité à ces manières « d'habiter », ce développement rapide est venu uniformiser et techniciser le milieu. Les guides, fiches techniques et retours d'expériences ne manquent pas d'expliquer comment budgétiser le projet immobilier ou choisir son statut juridique. Qu'en est-il de l'idée de départ de « changer la ville pour changer la vie » ? Ce petit manuel est destiné à celles et ceux qui envisagent l'habitat participatif comme à celles et ceux qui en sont déjà les résident·e·s. À travers le récit de son expérience dans les diverses associations de promotion de l'habitat participatif et les différents projets rencontrés, l'auteur engage des réflexions fondamentales sur la place que celui-ci peut tenir dans notre société. L'auteur dresse ici un état des lieux du secteur tout en réengageant au cœur de l'habitat une question essentielle, celle de l'habiter.

Abstract

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available to read online. Attaining the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal of Sustainable Cities and Communities focuses on Sustainable Development Goal number eleven (SDG#11): making human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Examining family businesses in the Republic of Ireland, Germany, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia, each case study presents a unique perspective from their respective country, analysing how SDG#11 translates into creating and maintaining liveable home environments for all. The case studies presented generate insights and key takeaways into the role of family businesses in developing and encouraging sustainable practices that have a positive effect on every member of their community. The United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 Goals pledged by 193 nations in 2015 which would help engender an improved, fairer, and more sustainable world - one in which 'no one is left behind'. The SDGs are a call to action, to develop innovative solutions to the most complex, societal, and environmental global challenges. In Family Businesses on a Mission, series editors Naomi Birdthistle and Rob Hales bring together international case studies to illustrate how family businesses can attain the UN 2030 SDGs. Accessible to those working in the field beyond academia - such as family business practitioners, family business owners, government and policymakers, members of NGOs, business associations, and philanthropic centres - this book series appeals equally to those with a general interest in entrepreneurship and business.

Abstract

Du Parc Marianne (Montpellier, France) à Vinhomes Riverside (Hanoï, Vietnam), en passant par l'Olympic Village (Vancouver, Canada) ou encore l'Éco-parc du Bardo (Constantine, Algérie), cet ouvrage présente quatorze projets urbains durables dans le monde et en analyse les succès mais aussi les difficultés et les échecs. Son objectif : développer un regard critique vis-à-vis des pratiques d'aménagement qui ont contribué à la multiplication de ces (éco)quartiers depuis vingt ans, mettre en lumière les expériences réussies et proposer de possibles points d'amélioration. Il expose et interroge également l'apport des démarches de suivi, d'évaluation et de labellisation apparues suite aux premières expérimentations urbaines emblématiques comme BedZED au Royaume-Uni ou Fribourg en Allemagne. L'ouvrage permettra ainsi à tous les acteurs et observateurs de l'aménagement urbain d'identifier les pratiques vertueuses et les réussites à capitaliser dans le cadre du développement de futurs projets urbains durables, pour des villes décarbonnées, inclusives et "smarts".

Abstract

Ecological and livable cities need an objective method to be examined. This book is in search of a method to determine the level of livability, ecology and energy efficiency. Ecological and sustainable cities need to properly make up for the existent weakness of the city's construction under fine ecological environment. The intention of this comparative study is an attempt to improve life quality in Tirana, Albania. It gives examples of successful strategies, e.g. bioclimatic solution through passive solar systems and the use of underground tunnels. This book is aimed at researches, professionals, architects and city planners.
