Habitat Conservation Planning: Endangered Species and Urban Growth
ISBN: 9780292708068 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. As environmental awareness grows around the world, people are learning that a diversity of species and the habitat to support them is necessary to maintain the ecological health of the earth. At the same time, however, the pressure to develop wildlife habitat for human settlement and economic gain also grows, causing frequent clashes between the forces of development and of conservation. This pioneering study focuses on a new tool for resolving the land-use conflict--the creation of habitat conservation plans (HCPs). Timothy Beatley explores the development and early results of this...

Biophilic Cities: Integrating Nature into Urban Design and Planning
ISBN: 9781597267151 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Tim Beatley has long been a leader in advocating for the "greening" of cities. But too often, he notes, urban greening efforts focus on everything except nature, emphasizing such elements as public transit, renewable energy production, and energy efficient building systems. While these are important aspects of reimagining urban living, they are not enough, says Beatley. We must remember that human beings have an innate need to connect with the natural world (the biophilia hypothesis). And any vision of a sustainable urban future must place its focus squarely on nature, on the presence,...

Green Urbanism: Learning from European Cities
ISBN: 9781559636827 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As the need to confront unplanned growth increases, planners, policymakers, and citizens are scrambling for practical tools and examples of successful and workable approaches. Growth management initiatives are underway in the U.S. at all levels, but many American "success stories" provide only one piece of the puzzle. To find examples of a holistic approach to dealing with sprawl, one must turn to models outside of the United States. In Green Urbanism, Timothy Beatley explains what planners and local officials in the United States can learn from the sustainable city movement in...

Handbook of Biophilic City Planning & Design
ISBN: 9781610916202 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) What if, even in the heart of a densely developed city, people could have meaningful encounters with nature? While parks, street trees, and green roofs are increasingly appreciated for their technical services like stormwater reduction, from a biophilic viewpoint, they also facilitate experiences that contribute to better physical and mental health: natural elements in play areas can lessen children's symptoms of ADHD, and adults who exercise in natural spaces can experience greater reductions in anxiety and blood pressure. The Handbook of Biophilic City Planning & Design offers...

In this immensely practical book, Timothy Beatley sets out to answer a simple question: what can Americans learn from Australians about "greening" city life? Green Urbanism Down Under reports on the current state of "sustainability practice" in Australia and the many lessons that U.S. residents can learn from
the best Australian programs and initiatives. Australia is similar to the United States in many ways, especially in its "energy footprint." For example, Australia's per capita greenhouse gas emissions are second only to those of the United States. A similar percentage of its...

Ethical Land Use: Principles of Policy and Planning
ISBN: 9780801846991 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. That land is a community is the basic concept of ecology, wrote Aldo Leopold in 1933, but that land is to be loved and respected is an extension of ethics. Since then, every generation has taken up Leopold's search for a land ethic to guide decision-making which would balance economic considerations with concerns for beauty, sustainability and quality-of-life. Should a community preserve or develop the remaining wetlands within its jurisdiction? Should a local government allow low-income housing to be built in an affluent neighbourhood? Does a farmer continue farming despite surrounding...

Planning for Coastal Resilience: Best Practices for Calamitous Times
ISBN: 9781597265621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and magnitude of coastal storms around the globe, and the anticipated rise of sea levels will have enormous impact on fragile and vulnerable coastal regions. In the U.S., more than 50% of the population inhabits coastal areas. In Planning for Coastal Resilience, Tim Beatley argues that, in the face of such threats, all future coastal planning and management must reflect a commitment to the concept of resilience. In this timely book, he writes that coastal resilience must become the primary design and planning principle to guide all...

The Ecology of Place: Planning for Environment, Economy, and Community
ISBN: 9781559634786 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Current patterns of land use and development are at once socially, economically, and environmentally destructive. Sprawling low-density development literally devours natural landscapes while breeding a pervasive sense of social isolation and exacerbating a vast array of economic problems. As more and more counties begin to look more and more the same, hope for a different future may seem to be fading. But alternatives do exist. The Ecology of Place, Timothy Beatley and Kristy Manning describe a world in which land is consumed sparingly, cities and towns are vibrant and green,...

Blue Urbanism: Exploring Connections Between Cities and Oceans
ISBN: 9781610914055 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What would it mean to live in cities designed to foster feelings of connectedness to the ocean? As coastal cities begin planning for climate change and rising sea levels, author Timothy Beatley sees opportunities for rethinking the relationship between urban development and the ocean. Modern society is more dependent upon ocean resources than people are commonly aware of--from oil and gas extraction to wind energy, to the vast amounts of fish harvested globally, to medicinal compounds derived from sea creatures, and more. In Blue Urbanism, Beatley argues that, given all we've gained...
