The Future of Cities and Energies in Western Europe
The Future of Cities and Energies in Western Europe explores a variety of theoretical and empirical approaches to researching energy issues in Western European cities, as well as urban energy transition. It serves as a collection of materials, instruments, ideas, and theories to embrace this subject. The contributions are interdisciplinary, drawing from areas such as sociology, urbanism, geoecology, architecture, and political science, thus demonstrating that this research topic, which is now gaining full legitimacy in traditional fields, requires open and reflexive dialogues.
Vertical Cities
Exploring the social implications of dense and compact cities, this enlightening book looks at micro-scale segregation through several lenses. These include the ways that the housing market constantly reconfigures social mix, how the structure of the housing stock shapes it, and the ways that policies are deployed to manage these effects.
Cross-Border Renewable Energy Transitions
This book explores the intrinsically multiscale issue of renewable energy transition from a local, national and transnational perspective, and provides insights into current developments in the Upper Rhine Region that can serve as an international model. Organised around the exploration of stakeholder issues, the volume first describes a framework for public action and modelling and then articulates a triple complementary focus from the viewpoint of law, economics and sociology. This multidisciplinary approach is anchored in the social sciences, but also explores the ways in which technological issues are increasingly debated in the implementation of the ecological transition. With a focus o...
Ville et covid.
Dans la crise sanitaire, économique, sociale et morale qui ébranle le monde depuis janvier 2020, à travers la pandémie du coronavirus, la ville n’a jamais cessé de jouer des rôles ambigus. Partie de Wuhan, capitale de la province du Hubei, emblématique de l’ouverture de la Chine, la maladie est immédiatement associée aux pratiques les plus traditionnelles de commercialisation d’animaux sauvages sur les marchés urbains. Quand la contagion gagne, on hésite entre les logiques des grands flux internationaux des hommes et des choses reliant les zones métropolisées de la planète, et des clusters aléatoires dans des aires de faible occupation démographique. De même, les class...
Constructing Green
They discuss shifts in professional expertise created by new social concerns about green building, including evolving boundaries of professional jurisdictions; changing industry strategies and structures, including the roles of ownership, supply firms, and market niches; new operational, organizational, and cultural arrangements, including the mainstreaming of environmental concerns; narratives and frames that influence the perception of green building; and future directions for the theory and practice of sustainable construction. The essays offer uniquely multidisciplinary insights into the transformative potential of green building and the obstacles that must be overcome to make it the norm. Contributors Lauren Barhydt, Clayton Bartczak, Lyn Bartram, Olivier Berthod, Nicole Woolsey Biggart, Lenora Bohren, Bertien Broekhans, William Browning, Zinta S. Byrne, Michael Conger, Jennifer E. Cross, David Deal, Beth M.
Rethinking Nature
Contemporary ideas of nature were largely shaped by schools of thought from Western cultural history and philosophy until the present-day concerns with environmental change and biodiversity conservation. There are many different ways of conceptualising nature in epistemological terms, reflecting the tensions between the polarities of humans as masters or protectors of nature and as part of or outside of nature. The book shows how nature is today the focus of numerous debates, calling for an approach which goes beyond the merely technical or scientific. It adopts a threefold – critical, historical and cross-disciplinary – approach in order to summarise the current state of knowledge. It i...
Gouvernance et développement durable
Panormama à la fois conceptuel et empirique des questions liées à la gouvernance de l'environnement et de la durabilité. Cet ouvrage propose une analyse synthétique de la gouvernance du développement durable et de la durabilité avec, en fil rouge, la question suivante : la gouvernance de la durabilité emporte-t-elle une vision hiérarchique ou non hiérarchique des jeux d’acteurs qui la caractérisent ?
