Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This compelling collection of insights from seasoned civil engineering professionals sheds light on the crucial aspects of sustainable development through the unique perspective of those who help build our world.The narrative begins by placing sustainable development in its rich historical context, examining how past events have shaped our current development trajectory and exploring potential paths forward within the framework of the 17 United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. This book emphasises the devastating impact of emissions from unchecked development while highlighting the absence of effective worldwide mitigation strategies. It offers unconventional perspectives that may challenge conventional thinking-the views expressed are occasionally controversial, sometimes unconventional, and at times deliberately provocative.While not designed as a traditional textbook or formal guide, this comprehensive volume serves as an invaluable resource and reference for development professionals and graduate civil engineers passionate about sustainable development. Its accessible yet authoritative approach makes complex concepts understandable without sacrificing depth or nuance.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Globalization and telecoupling are enhancing the complexity of the coupled socio-ecological system constituted by the interaction between the global ecosphere and the anthroposphere. As a result, the demand for tools to identify transformative innovations, assess future risks, and support precautionary decisions for sustainability is growing by the day in business and politics. Scenarios are a means of simplification, reducing the real-world complexity to a limited number of essential factors to analyze their interactions and support policy formulation, with indicators as communication and monitoring tools.In particular, in a time of "fake news" and "alternative truths" a critical reflection amongst producers and users of scenarios and indicators is overdue-the capability for critical self-reflection is what distinguishes science from pseudo-science, and is a condition of trust.The authors of this book test established measurement and modeling approaches against new challenges, assess the weaknesses of prevailing innovation theories and the political-ideological embedment of archetypical scenarios, highlight deficits in taking the physical basics into account, and the need to understand global interaction and the stepwise process of energy transitions, point out technical as well as conceptual weaknesses in data collection, harmonization and indicator generation, always with a view to solving problems.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book focuses on the socio-economic and sustainability challenges facing megacities in dealing with the dramatic population increases of informal areas and settlements (or slums), especially when coupled with the impacts and risks of climate change. The authors examine informal urban areas globally and in developing countries utilizing strategic environmental assessment (SEA) as a tool to solve the sequence of upgrading steps concerning slums and shanty towns, and also establish essential guidelines for local governments and stakeholders to create a balance and quality of life for slums dwellers, particularly in the age of the COVID-19 pandemic, through applying sustainability indicators that enhance the upgrading process. Coverage includes recent statistics and mapping of informal areas worldwide and assessment of the GIZ and Sir Norman Foster models in terms of energy demands and consequential emission of CO2 and air pollution from slums. Three models of Maspero's Triangle arealso studied and assessed. The book is essential reading for a wide range of researchers, students, policymakers, governments, and professionals as well as a good source for research centers and academicians working in energy, climate change, urban environments, and sustainable urban development.…
