Methodology for estimating implied energy consumption in the urban growth of diffuse cities

Peer-reviewed publication
March, 2015
Argentina
Europe

The urbanization trend in Latin American cities is currently one of the highest in the world. It determines that the increase in urban area is greater than the rate of population growth. In turn, cities use 75% of the energy consumed on the planet. For this reason, they are responsible in equal proportion for the production of greenhouse gases. In response, urban planning should incorporate design strategies to reduce said consumption. As an alternative to this trend, the objective of this investigation is to assess the impact of the different models of urban growth for the same city.

Recalling community: Using material culture and digital archives in Salford

Peer-reviewed publication
August, 2012

This article explores strategies for engaging geographically fragmented urban communities as active participants in conceptually re-mapping their former localities. It looks in detail at the ongoing Retracing Salford project in Salford, UK, which employs the use of everyday objects and oral histories to engage and enable former residents to reconnect with their recently demolished neighbourhoods and each other. The project also seeks to document an urban working class history largely overlooked by the large-scale institutions.

Questão agrária, território e meio ambiente no Brasil: Os limites da transição para uma agricultura sustentável

Peer-reviewed publication
December, 2009
Brazil

This paper discusses the agrarian problem in Brazilian rural areas from the environmental point of view. The objective is to examine how the private appropriation of the Brazilian rural space came about, attributing to the environmental factor a role whose logic was relevant in the inherited agricultural context. According to this hypothesis, the specificity of the private appropriation process of public land, after 1850, is the origin of agricultural and environmental problems in the Brazilian rural space.

Desafios do Planejamento Urbano no Brasil e seus Marcos Legais sob a Ótica da Agricultura Urbana

Peer-reviewed publication
August, 2015
Brazil

Diante de um futuro incerto de mudanças climáticas, prevê-se um colapso em grandes cidades do mundo. O cenário é produto da insegurança alimentar gerada pelo distanciamento da agricultura local das áreas adjacentes ao espaço urbano, contexto já identificado em algumas civilizações no passado. Sob a perspectiva, assume-se que ações de planejamento urbano devem estar integradas a estratégias de produção de alimentos a incluir iniciativas em favor da agricultura urbana e periurbana, e de práticas da permacultura.

MARKETING TERRITORIALE NELLA PROVINCIA DI ENNA. MODELLI PER LA COSTRUZIONE DELLA CONOSCENZA DEI TERRITORI ATTRAVERSO LA MOBILITÀ LENTA

Peer-reviewed publication
December, 2014

The Enna Province is characterized by a low degree of economic, infrastructural and industrial development. Its hilly territory is a fair combination of many different and integrated landscapes. These conditions suggest the possibility of a sustainable development pattern in which the slow mobility, because of the low level of land infrastructures, can become one of the most important network

Ville nouvelle, quarante ans après. Les pionniers vieillissants de Maurepas New cities, forty years later. The ageing pioneers of Maurepas

Peer-reviewed publication
April, 2009

Construites à partir des années 1960 sous l’impulsion du Schéma directeur d’Aménagement et d’Urbanisme de 1965, cinq villes nouvelles ont vu le jour en région parisienne. Leur aménagement laisse entrevoir une volonté de répondre à des besoins urbains identifiés, se conjuguant parfois avec l’offre d’espaces, de services ou d’équipements envisagés alors comme novateurs. Maurepas, rattachée jusqu’en 1984 à l’agglomération nouvelle de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, a été façonnée en partie par ces aspirations.

Indicadores regionales de desarrollo sustentable en Chile: ¿Hasta qué punto son útiles y necesarios?

Peer-reviewed publication
September, 2001
Chile

Cada vez más necesitamos maneras de asegurar patrones de desarrollo que sean sustentables, es decir, que sean ambiental, social y económicamente apropiados para nosotros y para las generaciones venideras. Los indicadores de desarrollo sustentable son una herramienta promisoria que permitiría "aterrizar" el concepto de sustentabilidad, apoyando la manera en que se toman las decisiones. En Chile existen pocas experiencias sobre el tema. Este artículo presenta el trabajo realizado para desarrollar indicadores de desarrollo sustentable en cuatro regiones del país.

El Plan Regulador Comunal es el instrumento normativo de planeación urbanística chilena, cuya formulación pretende regular en el ámbito comunal básicamente los siguientes aspectos: los usos de suelo, las condiciones de edificación y subdivisión del suelo, la red vial estructurante y los limites urbanos.Se cree que este instrumento es imperfecto toda vez que no incorpora en la normativa una dimensión clave del urbanismo: la morfología urbana, entendida como el sistema espacial tridimensional de la ciudad.
