Handbook of biophilic city planning and design / Timothy Beatley / Washington : Island Press (2016)

Public ISBD Titre : Handbook of biophilic city planning and design Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Timothy Beatley, Auteur Editeur : Washington : Island Press Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 1 vol. (XX-289 p.) Présentation : ill., couv. ill. en coul. Format : 26 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-61091-620-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 712 Architecture du paysage (aménagement du paysage) Résumé : According to the publisher : "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 practical advice and inspiration for ensuring that nature in the city is more than infrastructure—that it also promotes well-being and creates an emotional connection to the earth among urban residents. Divided into six parts, the Handbook begins by introducing key ideas, literature, and theory about biophilic urbanism. Chapters highlight urban biophilic innovations in more than a dozen global cities. The final part concludes with lessons on how to advance an agenda for urban biophilia and an extensive list of resources. As the most comprehensive reference on the emerging field of biophilic urbanism, the Handbook is essential reading for students and practitioners looking to place nature at the core of their planning and design ideas and encourage what preeminent biologist E.O. Wilson described as "the innate emotional connection of humans to all living things."" Note de contenu : Part 1: The background and theory of biophilic cities. Chapter 1. The power of urban nature: the essential benefits of biophilic urbanism Chapter 2. Understanding the nature of biophilic cities Chapter 3. The urban nature diet: the many ways that nature enhances urban life Chapter 4. Biophilic cities and urban resilience Part 2: Creating biophilic cities: emerging global practice. Chapter 5.

Urbanism in the age of climate change / Peter Calthorpe / Washington : Island Press (2011) 

Public ISBD Titre : Urbanism in the age of climate change Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter Calthorpe, Auteur Editeur : Washington : Island Press Année de publication : 2011 Importance : 1 vol. (XII-139 p.-[24] p. de pl.) Présentation : ill. en noir et en coul., jaquette ill. en coul. Format : 27 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-59726-720-5 Index. décimale : 338.15 Économie agricole - Régions urbaines Résumé : Présentation de l'éditeur : "From the beginning of his career, Peter Calthorpe has been a leading innovator in sustainable building projects, sustainable development, and walkable communities. A leader in the New Urbanism Movement, he is an important resource for solutions to current problems of urban sprawl, suburban isolation, and the related problems of outsized energy consumption and an outsized share of world emissions. According to Ecological Urbanism, relentless and thoughtless development have created a way of living that brings us to a point of reckoning regarding energy, climate change and the way we shape our communities. The answer to these crises is Sustainable Development, a thoughtful combination of good Urbanism with renewable energy sources, state of the art conservation techniques, new green technologies, and integrated services and utilities. Sustainable Urbanism, the most recent result of Calthorpe's forward thinking, provides all the inherent benefits of Urbanism amplified by a new generation of ecological design, smart grids, climate responsive buildings, electric cars, and next-generation transit systems. This clearly written (and clearly provocative) work emerges from Calthorpe's belief that, just as the last fifty years have produced massive changes in our culture, economy and environment, the next fifty will generate changes of an even more profound nature. The book, enhanced by its superb graphic design, is an exploration of the challenges and potential shifts in each of these arenas, and how they can affect the future of our communities."
