    Managing Landscapes for Change (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Human geography. ; Environmental management. ; Agriculture. ; Physical geography. ; Energy policy. ; Energy and state. ; Human Geography. ; Environmental Management. ; Agriculture. ; Physical Geography. ; Energy Policy, Economics and Management.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. What is a Landscape? -- Chapter 3. Drivers of Landscape Change -- Chapter 4. Landscape Trajectories -- Chapter 5. Options for Managing Landscape for Change -- Chapter 6. Barriers to Managing for Change -- Chapter 7. Social and Institutional Innovations -- Chapter 8. Technologies for Innovating Forward -- Chapter 9. Conclusions and Recommendation.
    Abstract: This book discusses how future landscapes will be shaped by pervasive change and where, when, and how society should manage landscapes for change. Readers will learn about the major anthropogenic drivers of landscape change, including climate change and human induced disturbance regimes, and the unique consequences that multiple and simultaneously occurring change agents can have on landscapes. The author uses landscape trajectories as a guide to selecting the appropriate course of action, and considers how landscape position, inertia, and direction will determine landscape futures. The author introduces the concept of landscapes as socio-technical-ecological systems (STES), which combines ecological and technological influences on future landscape change and the need for society to acknowledge both when considering landscape management. Thinking beyond solutions, the author identifies barriers to managing landscapes for change including the cost, cultural identity of local populations, and the fear of taking action under uncertain conditions. Nevertheless, processes, tools, and technologies exist for overcoming social and ecological barriers to managing landscapes for change, and continued investment in social and scientific infrastructure holds out hope for maintaining our landscape values even as we enter an era of unprecedented change and disruption.

    Details
    Keywords: Sustainability. ; Sociology, Urban. ; Sustainable architecture. ; Sustainability. ; Urban Sociology. ; Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings.
    Description / Table of Contents: Chapter 1 General Introduction -- Chapter 2 Understanding the Temporary Appropriation in Relationship to Social Sustainability -- Chapter 3 Between Assemblages and Temporary Appropriation: The Case of Mexico City -- Chapter 4 Temporary Appropriation and Informality -- Chapter 5 Ongoing Appropriation: Invisible Seattle and Red May -- Chapter 6 Temporary Appropriation and Public Space: Assessing the CPTED Principle of Activity Support -- Chapter 7 Temporary Appropriation of Public Spaces: The Influence of Outdoor Comfort -- Chapter 8 Origins of Informality: Examining the Historical and Spatial Roots of Informal Day-Labor Hiring Sites -- Chapter 9 Unsheltered Homelessness and the Right to Metabolism: An Urban Political Ecology of Health and Sustainability -- Chapter 10 Temporary Appropriation in Shanghai and Hong Kong: Two Study Cases Assessing the Resilience of Women Faced With the Lack of Affordable Housing -- Chapter 11 (Temporary) Appropriation (Of Space), Makassar, and Urban Kampung -- Chapter 12 Extending Temporary Appropriation Through Architecture: The Role of Adaptive Reuse in Shaping New Zealand’s Built Environment -- Chapter 13 Using the Street in Mexico City Centre: Temporary Appropriation of Public Space Vs Legislation Governing Street Use -- Chapter 14 Transforming Everyday Public Space: Human Appropriations in Search for Citizenship and Urban Well-Being -- Chapter 15 General Conclusion. .
    Abstract: This book conceptualises and illustrates temporary appropriation as an urban phenomenon, exploring its contributions to citizenship, urban social sustainability and urban health. It explains how some forms of appropriation can be subversive, existing in a grey area between legal and illegal activities in the city. The book explores the complex and the multi-scalar nature of temporary appropriation, and touches on its relationship to issues such as: sustainability and building re-use; culture; inclusivity, including socio-spatial inclusion; streetscape design; homelessness; and regulations controlling the use of public spaces. The book focuses on temporary appropriation as a necessity of adapting human needs in a city, highlighting the flexibility that is needed within urban planning and the further research that should be undertaken in this area. The book utilises case studies of Auckland, Algiers and Mexico City, and other cities with diverse cultural and historical backgrounds, to explore how planning, design and development can occur whilst maintaining community diversity and resilience. Since urban populations are certain to grow further, this is a key topic for understanding urban dynamics, and this book will be of interest to academics and practitioners alike.

    Housing Policy and Vulnerable Families in The Inner City : Public Housing in Harlem, New York City (2020)
    Cham :Springer International Publishing :
    Details
    Keywords: Human geography. ; Sociology, Urban. ; Social structure. ; Equality. ; Human Geography. ; Urban Sociology. ; Social Structure.
    Description / Table of Contents: 1. The Status Quo: Observations on a Gentrified Harlem -- 2. Rise and Fall: Harlem Renaissance and Ghettoization -- 3. Urban Poverty in Theory -- 4. Public Housing -- 5. Listening to Harlem: Tenants, Activists, Experts -- Conclusion: Understanding Harlem: The Making of a Mixed-Income Neighbo.
    Abstract: This book provides insights in how the lack of coherent social policy leads to the displacement of vulnerable low-income families in inner-city neighborhoods facing gentrification. First, it makes a case for how social policy by its racist setup has failed vulnerable families in the history of U.S. public housing. Second, it shows that today’s public housing transformation puts the same disadvantaged socio-economic clientele at risk, while the neighborhoods they call their homes are taken over by gentrification. It raises the powerful argument that the continuing privatization of Housing Authorities in the U.S. will likely lead to greater income diversity in formerly neglected neighborhoods, but it will happen at the expense of vulnerable families being displaced and resegregated further outside the city, if no regulatory planning measures for their protection are initiated by the government. By providing a solid empirical portrait of public housing in New York City’s Harlem, this book provides a great resource to students, academics and planners interested in gentrification with specific concern for race and class. .

    Keywords: Sustainability. ; Sustainable architecture. ; Urban economics. ; Technological innovations. ; Sustainability. ; Sustainable Architecture/Green Buildings. ; Urban Economics. ; Innovation and Technology Management.
    Description / Table of Contents: Sustainable Living Spaces and Open Digital Innovation Hub -- Water -- Energy -- Food -- Enabling Technology: Internet of Things(IOT) -- Home Management System: Artifical Intelligence -- Demand Response and Smart Charging -- Blockchain and Peer-to-Peer Trading.
    Abstract: This book presents an in-depth study to show that a sustainable future urban life is possible. To build a safer and more sustainable future, as humankind, we would like to use more renewable energy, increase energy efficiency, reduce our carbon and water footprints in all economic sectors. The increasing population and humans’ ever-increasing demand for consumption pose another question whether the world’s resources are sufficient for present and future generations. Fair access to water, energy, and food is the objective for all. In line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, scientists, researchers, engineers, and policymakers worldwide are working hard to achieve these objectives. To answer all these challenges, we would like to introduce the core of Smart Cities of the future, the building block of the future’s urban life: Open Digital Innovation Hub (ODIH). ODIH will serve as the ‘Home of the Future’, a fully digitalised and smart, self-sustaining building that answers all the motivation we highlight here. In ODIH, we introduce a living space that produces its water, energy, and food by minimising carbon and water footprints thanks to the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, and Blockchain technologies. It will also serve as an open innovation environment for start-ups and entrepreneurs who wish to integrate their solutions into the infrastructure of ODIH and test those in real-time. We believe this will be a true open innovation test-bed for new business models.

    Abstract: This book covers the sustainability issues of a green environment towards economics and society in terms of alteration in industrial pollution levels, effect of reduced carbon emissions, changes in water bodies characteristics with respect to heavy metal contamination, monitoring of associated impact with respect to ecology and biodiversity, impact of reduced noise levels and air quality influences on human health, handling and management of biomedical waste. According to WHO, 80% of people living in urban areas are exposed to air exceeding safe limits. The advent of "sustainability‟ in development science has led planners to apply evolving notions of "sustainability‟ to the contemporary debate over how cities and regions should be revitalized, redeveloped, and reformed. Market allocation of resources, sustained levels of growth and consumption, an assumption that natural resources are unlimited and a belief that economic growth will „trickle down‟ to the poor have been its hallmarks. The recent advance technology helps to promote green and clean modern societies continuously. The Internet of things will be playing an important role in the upcoming years in environment protection and sustainable development. There is a focus on paradigm shift in the sustainable development for the green environment during the period of isolation of COVID-19. This is the moment for the mobilization against the climate crisis. The sudden fall in pollutants and subsequent blue skies signifies a dramatic shift for India and also other affected countries during this period. Fighting climate change requires a collaborative approach between all spheres of society unlike the former. It must heavily redirect resources towards local, sustainable activities, including education, health, sustainable agriculture and circular management of resources. The impact of COVID-19 pandemic which has resulted in the dramatic change in the different aspects of the environment. The global lockdown has led to a rejuvenation of nature, ecosystems, biodiversity. Even urban environments are discovering a degree of peace and serenity, which led to decrease in greenhouse gas emission.
