Due to climatic, social, and epidemiological challenges, urban areas are suffering from recurring problems that require profound and sustainable solutions. Although they cover only a small area of the earth's surface, metropolises are responsible for most of the world's global carbon emissions, which cause adverse effects on energy and the climate. This book discusses the spatial development of urban areas in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Chapters address the problems of large urban agglomerations, examine their impacts on both people and the environment, and propose intervention policies and strategies. The book also presents case studies from different areas of the world, including Chile, Brazil, and India.

As humans have come to dominate the earth, the ideal of studying and teaching ecology in pristine ecosystems has become impossible to achieve. Our planet is now a mosaic of ecosystems ranging from the relatively undisturbed to the completely built, with the majority of people living in urban environments. This accessible introduction to the principles of urban ecology provides students with the tools they need to understand these increasingly important urban ecosystems. It builds upon the themes of habitat modification and resource use to demonstrate how multiple ecological processes interact in cities and how human activity initiates chains of unpredictable unintended ecological consequences. Broad principles are supported throughout by detailed examples from around the world and a comprehensive list of readings from the primary literature. Questions, exercises and laboratories at the end of each chapter encourage discussion, hands-on study, active learning, and engagement with the world outside the classroom window.

The growth of cities poses ever-increasing challenges for the natural environment on which they impact and depend, not only within their boundaries but also in surrounding peri-urban areas. Landscape ecology - the study of interactions across space and time between the structure and function of physical, biological and cultural components of landscapes - has a pivotal role to play in identifying sustainable solutions.This book brings together examples of research at the cutting edge of urban landscape ecology across multiple contexts that investigate the state, maintenance and restoration of healthy and functional natural environments across urban and peri-urban landscapes. An explicit focus is on urban landscapes in contrast to other books which have considered urban ecosystems and ecology without specific focus on spatial connections. It integrates research and perspectives from across academia, public and private practitioners of urban conservation, planning and design. It provides a much needed summary of current thinking on how urban landscapes can provide the foundation of sustained economic growth, prospering communities and personal well-being.

"La psychanalyse est une recherche du monde extérieur, inévitablement conflictuelle, mais dans un effort d'échange avec le monde extérieur." Cet espace intérieur, Salomon Resnik le conçoit comme un espace pour vivre, sentir, penser, imaginer, rêver. Transcendant les oppositions catégorielles dedans/dehors, corps/esprit, l'espace mental donne sens, forme, luminosité à la vie. Or vivre son intériorité et la multiplicité de son être est difficile à assumer et on observe dans les vécus psychotiques un aplatissement de cet espace qui peut alors être rempli de vide, de fumée ou même de connaissances. La profession de psychanalyste consistera, nous dit Resnik, à utiliser son propre appareil mental, son propre espace mental pour aller à la rencontre de l'affectivité discordante ou barrée de l'autre. Salomon Resnik, nous invite ici, comme il l'a fait avec son public de l'Université à pénétrer dans l'espace qui se crée entre lui et ses patients, à la recherche de suggestions, de réflexions qui puissent donner sens à la vie mentale. Problèmes théoriques, histoires cliniques sont enrichis par la présentation d'œuvres de Magritte, De Chirico, Van Gogh et de dessins de ses patients, qui rendent le lecteur sensible à une expérience sensori-perceptive et esthétique de l'inconscient.
