En este libro se presenta una metodología que sirve de apoyo para llevar a cabo una planificación territorial sostenible de desarrollo futuro de los espacios metropolitanos. Dicha metodología abarcará de manera conjunta e integrada diferentes aspectos cruciales relacionados con este fenómeno. Así, en primer lugar, es necesario conocer en profundidad las pautas, implicaciones, características, etc., del crecimiento, experimentado por los espacios metropolitanos a través del estudio en detalle de los cambios socioeconómicos y territoriales registrados y la incidencia de los distintos instrumentos de planificación territorial en el desarrollo urbano. A partir de estas premisas, es posible reproducir escenarios de futuro que nos informen sobre las consecuencias que la evolución de ese fenómeno pueda tener sobre el territorio. Para ello, se utilizará una variedad de modelos de simulación que nos permitirán disponer de una información valiosa sobre lo que ocurriría si el fenómeno siguiera su curso en función de las tendencias actuales, pero también sobre lo que sería deseable que ocurriera en función de unos principios de sostenibilidad. En relación con este último aspecto, la propuesta se completa con el desarrollo de un procedimiento que nos permite realizar un diagnóstico preliminar de la sostenibilidad y los costes ambientales de los efectos del desarrollo urbano, tanto de las situaciones pasadas, como de los escenarios de futuro simulados. Esta metodología se ha aplicado, dentro del contexto del proyecto de investigación SIMURBAN, a dos espacios metropolitanos (Madrid y Granada) con características diferentes en cuanto a dimensión y momento temporal

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.
