Abstract

In the last half century, because of the raising world population and because of the many environmental issues posed by the industrialization, the amount of arable land per person has declined from 0.32 ha in 1961-1963 to 0.21 ha in 1997-1999 and is expected to drop further to 0.16 ha by 2030 and therefore is a severe menace to food security (FAO 2006). At the same time, about 12 million ha of irrigated land in the developing world has lost its productivity due to waterlogging and salinity. Waterlogging is a major problem for plant cultivation in many regions of the world. The reasons are in part due to climatic change that leads to the increased number of precipitations of great intensity, in part to land degradation. Considering India alone, the total area suffering from waterlogging is estimated to be about 3.3 million ha (Bhattacharya 1992), the major causes of waterlogging include super- ous irrigation supplies, seepage losses from canal, impeded sub-surface drainage, and lack of proper land development. In addition, many irrigated areas are s- jected to yield decline because of waterlogging due to inadequate drainage systems. Worldwide, it has been estimated that at least one-tenth of the irrigated cropland suffers from waterlogging.

Abstract

The usual perception of historic estates is that they are conservative and static. Yet a select few of historic estates have now become leading innovators as they have been in the past. Common traits include being entrepreneurs as well as collaborators whom challenge the status quo. In doing so, they are unlocking new ways of dealing with heritage and nature conservation, sustainable food production, social inclusiveness, sustainable tourism, climate change and renewable energy. Insightful and inspirational if not provocative, this book The future of estate landscapes in Europe focuses upon exemplary and unusual examples from Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom as new prospects of hope for the future. While being utterly relevant towards landowners and managers, this publication will also inform governments, planners, design professionals and anyone interested in the future of the countryside. The examples covered also include best practices in policy and governance as well as exemplary cases of contemporary design on historic estates. Three main themes are explored: nowadays management, policy measures, and design.

Abstract

"Until now, writings about the architect/landscape architect Georges Descombes have been relatively limited, appearing primarily in publications in Switzerland and abroad as conversations, interviews, and conference proceedings; most of them have appeared only in French. However, during his forty years of practice, Descombes has developed and applied a method unique to landscape architecture, one in which an extremely broad vision, both scientifically and culturally, shapes his thinking and projects. Descombes enters each project by attempting to understand the existing conditions on site and how, using minimal means and interventions, those conditions can be modified to meet the requirements of the program and those appropriate to the natural or urban environment. To some critics it would appear that Descombes has always done too little on and to the site, and in some instances have condemned him for "doing almost nothing." Although simplicity usually demands greater concentration and study, it often yields greater rewards that result from just that restraint. Perhaps how we approach the world is more important that how we shape the world. Descombes's landscapes are instructive in this regard. In our current era, the concern for the planet as a whole, its dwindling resources, the despoiling of its air, water, and land, and an exploding population have skewed the profession's focus toward sustainability, ecology, resilience, and other related concerns. In the process, the social role played by landscape architecture has been lessened, if not forgotten, and the role of form, space, composition, and materials--that is to say the aesthetic dimension of landscape design--has become a distant concern. Descombes's practice strikes that vital balance between effective environmental performance and the ethical creation of beauty. Instead of favoring one pursuit over the other, or relying on a delimiting specialization, he works in a way that may be justifiably regarded as both/and rather than either/or - a comprehensive vision that weds nature and culture, landscape and architecture, people and milieu."--

Abstract

Essays over privé-initiatieven van ondernemers, investeerders en bewoners over de ontwikkeling van de openbare ruimte in de stad. Deze publicatie van de Van der Leeuwkring (AIR) en Trancity is een essaybundel over nieuwe vormen van betrokkenheid bij publieke ruimte, verdeeld over drie thema's: 'Cultuurlandschap', 'Waardecreatie' en 'Spel en spelers'. Het private initiatief van ondernemers, investeerders en bewoners levert een impuls voor de publieke ruimte. De essays geven aanleidingen en denkkaders om het debat over de noodzaak van nieuwe vormen van samenwerking tussen overheid en markt overal in Nederland te voeren. Met bijdragen van Hilde Blank (BVR adviseurs), Bernard Colenbrander (TU Eindhoven), Arjo Klamer (Erasmus Universiteit), Han Michel (adviseur), Barrie Needham (Radboud Universiteit), Ivan Nio (onderzoeker), Henk Oosterling (Erasmus Universiteit), Leeke Reinders (OTB-TU Delft) en Pauline Terreehorst (Centraal Museum Utrecht).
