Bauplanung

Sur la base de souvenirs d'enfance et des représentations de l'espace urbain de Buenos Aires, la ville est ici analysée en tant qu'espace vécu. Elle est lue à travers de nombreuses sources artistiques dans un contexte historique. Le sentiment que ces représentations produisent permet de saisir non seulement la manière dont la ville est perçue, mais aussi l'effet qu'elle produit, sous trois angles. Voici intégrés les aspects sensibles de la forme dans la conception architecturale et paysagère.

Lo sviluppo di veicoli a tre ruote alimentati a batteria, noti come risciò elettrici, è nato in India da una rivoluzione nell'elettrificazione delle auto convenzionali dovuta all'aumento dei prezzi del carburante e alle preoccupazioni ambientali. I risciò elettrici stanno diventando sempre più popolari grazie alla loro flessibilità operativa, ai bassi costi di gestione con meno lavoro umano e all'evidente aumento della mobilità nelle aree in cui i sistemi di trasporto rapido di massa (MRTS) non sono un'opzione. Grazie alla sua affidabilità e al suo basso costo, è diventato un mezzo di trasporto inevitabile per gli utenti. Poiché è conveniente intraprendere una carriera come conducente di e-rickshaw, il settore informale sta vivendo un cambiamento nella professione. Con il numero sempre crescente di e-rickshaw, che si stanno rivelando una manna sia per gli operatori che per gli utenti, sta emergendo una serie di problemi. Sebbene gli e-rickshaw siano stati sviluppati per fornire servizi porta a porta simili a quelli dei risciò e trasporti pubblici identici a quelli degli auto-rickshaw su larga scala, la loro efficienza sta diminuendo a un ritmo allarmante. Troppi viaggi e utenti vengono rifiutati a causa delle caratteristiche operative a zone degli E-rickshaw.

Les Jeux Olympiques d'août 2008 à Pékin ont soulevé une question très controversée concernant l'aménagement de l'espace : dans quelle mesure changer les formes de la ville affecte-t-il la société qui habite ces formes ?Géographie et cultures revient sur cette question à travers une série d'exemples qui, de La Nouvelle-Orléans à Beyrouth et à Phnom Penh, sans oublier Pékin, éclaire le thème centrale de la géographie : la relation des sociétés humaines à l'étendue terrestre.

La pollution et la fracture socio-économique, crées par un modèle de production aujourd'hui remis en cause, ont favorisé l'évolution de la pensée du développement. Mais cette vision nécessite le déploiement d'une dynamique collective. A l'épreuve du développement durable, l'Afrique est fragilisée par des facteurs de régression (pauvreté, conflits, famine, désertification) réduisant l'effet des stratégies de gestion efficace des ressources naturelles et de promotion humaine. Par ailleurs, le continent africain concilie difficilement la tradition et la modernité. Quant à l'occident, il n'a pas encore saisi que la solidarité est le meilleur gilet (commun) de sauvetage.

This book is about managing the infrastructure development cycle from project initiation to the end of the operation and maintenance phase. It focuses on the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contract and, from this perspective, private and public sector procurement are variations.Designed for students from different backgrounds such as information technology, business, architecture, quantity surveying, urban planning, project management, engineering, construction, facilities management, transport, finance, economics, and law, the book provides a structured guide to these diverse students as well as researchers, public officials, project sponsors, lenders, developers, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, investors, infrastructure fund managers, insurers, facilities managers, non-government organizations, and consultants such as designers, engineers, environmental specialists, legal advisors, and brokers.The book presents general principles that are applicable in different countries, particularly in the developing world where markets and other institutions are less developed and uses examples to clarify ideas.

Bordered Cities and Divided Societies is a provocative, moving, and poetic encounter with the hearts and minds of individuals living in nine cities of conflict, violence, and healing-Jerusalem, Belfast, Johannesburg, Nicosia, Sarajevo, Mostar, Barcelona, Bilbao, and Beirut.

Pour avoir été longtemps au centre des discours officiels, la politique de la ville n'en a pas moins été méconnue. Ses origines et ses finalités réelles sont restées d'autant plus opaques qu'elle a réussi à faire parler ceux qui l'ont étudiée avec son propre langage. La posture critique de l'auteur lui permet d'éviter cet écueil en renouvelant les interprétations et en se démarquant de toute visée évaluative. La mise en oeuvre des dispositifs locaux ont été laissés de côté au profit du mouvement d'ensemble de cette action publique.

Demographically, nineteenth-century London, or what Victorians called the "new Rome," first equaled, then superseded its ancient ancestor. By the mid-eighteenth century, the British capital had already developed into a global city. Sustained by its enormous empire, between 1800 and the First World War London ballooned in population and land area. Nothing so vast had previously existed anywhere. A Mighty Capital under Threat investigates the environmental history of one of the world's global cities and the largest city in the United Kingdom. Contributors cover the feeding of London, waste management, movement between the city's numerous districts, and the making and shaping of the environmental sciences in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Originally published in 1993, Urban Land and Property Markets in the Netherlands provides a detailed explanation of how the land and property markets of the Netherlands work. This book describes the scene extensively and goes deeper to explain the situation in the Netherlands, with commercial real estate being regarded internationally as mature, and offering good safe investment prospects while other aspects of the land and property markets are unique to that country. The constitutional, economic and social contexts are described and current public policies are explained as they affect property development.

Originally published in 1994, Urban Land and Property Markets in the United Kingdom, adopts a perspective that encompasses the distinctive nature of the legal framework, land law, property market and procedures of Scotland, England and Wales. The book provides detailed accounts of the structure of property, planning and tax law governing urban land and property markets, registration procedures and transactions charges, market processes and how they all work in practice. The book is based on a report commissioned by the German Federal Government as part of a five-country study completed in 1991.

Ces contributions montrent que le logement et les espaces qui l'entourent constituent une composante fondamentale de l'expérience géographique des individus. Le logement est ainsi analysé à diverses échelles, de la cellule de la prison à la multi-résidence transnationale, ou encore aux échelles intermédiaires du quartier ou de l'agglomération. La première partie aborde les stratégies résidentielles, la deuxième décline des manières d'habiter autrement, en marge des normes dominantes, et la dernière partie examine les politiques de logement, leur financement...
