"Urbanismo ecológico es una iniciativa de la Graduate School of Design de la Harvard University que entiende el proyecto como una síntesis capaz de conectar la ecología y el urbanismo. La iniciativa intenta poner de manifiesto métodos imaginativos y prácticos para abordar los cambios climáticos y la sostenibilidad en el entorno urbano, entendiendo la ecología como un proyecto ético y político que engloba el medio ambiente, no solo como realidad física, sino también desde las relaciones sociales y la subjetividad humana." En 2014 se publicó en castellano y portugués el primer volumen de Urbanismo ecológico, una compilación de los textos surgidos de esta línea de investigación y acción urbanística de la célebre universidad estadounidense. La aparición de este volumen dio origen a una serie de encuentros y debates en diversos países de América Latina y al conjunto de ensayos y obras que se recogen ahora en Urbanismo ecológico en América Latina. Este nuevo volumen, editado por Mohsen Mostafavi, Gareth Doherty, Marina Correia, Ana María Durán Calisto y Luis Valenzuela, presenta la realidad compleja y poliédrica de América Latina a partir de siete ejes temáticos -anticipar, colaborar, sentir, incluir, movilizar, comisariar, adaptar- que dialogan con la publicación original y exploran nuevas interpretaciones. Parques, sistemas fluviales, chinampas, São Paulo, Santiago de Chile, infraestructuras educativas, movilidad, agroecología, Diana Wiesner, Elemental, Ermínia Maricato, Tomás Saraceno, Solano Benítez, Guilherme Wisnik, Teresa Moller, Carla Juaçaba. Multiplicidad de casos y miradas aportan una panorámica excepcional para el debate de lo urbano y lo político a la luz de la ecología y la sostenibilidad.

Contributions by urban planners, sociologists, anthropologists, architects, and landscape architects on the role and scope of urban design in creating more just and inclusive cities. Scholars who write about justice and the city rarely consider the practices and processes of urban design, while discourses on urban design often neglect concerns about justice. The editors of Just Urban Design take the position that urban design interventions have direct and important implications for justice in the city. The contributions in this volume contextualize the state of knowledge about urban design for justice, stress inclusivity as the key to justice in the city, affirm community participation and organizing as cornerstones of greater equity, and assert that a just urban design must center and privilege our most marginalized individuals and communities. Approaching spatial and social justice in the city through the lens of urban design, the contributors explore the possibility of envisioning and delivering social, spatial, and environmental justice in cities through urban design and the material reality of built environment interventions. The editors’ combined expertise includes urban politics and climate change, public space, mobility justice, community development, housing, and informality, and the contributors include researchers and practitioners from urban planning, sociology, anthropology, architecture, and landscape architecture.

Hirsch, Jeffrey Hou, Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Setha Low, Matthew Jordan Miller, Vinit Mukhija, Chelina Odbert, Francesca Piazzoni, and Michael Rios.

Handbook of Waterfront Cities and Urbanism is the first resource to address cities’ transformations of their coastlines and riverbanks and the resulting effects on environment, culture, and identity in a genuinely global context. Spanning cities from Gdańsk to Georgetown, this reference for design, development, and planning explores the transition of waterfronts from industrial and port zones to crowd-drawing urban spectacles within the frameworks of urban development, economics, ecology, governance, globalization, preservation, and sustainability. A collection of contextual studies, local perspectives, project reviews, and analyses of evolution and emerging trends provides critical insight into the phenomenon of waterfront development and urbanism in cities from the East to the West. Features: Explores the transformation of waterfronts from industrial hubs to urban playgrounds through the lenses of preservation, governance, economics, ecology, and more. Presents chapter-length case studies drawn from cities in China, Bangladesh, Turkey, the United States, Malaysia, the European Union, Egypt, and other countries. Includes contributions from an interdisciplinary team of international scholars and professionals, a much-needed corrective to the historical exclusion of researchers and issues from the Global South. An ideal reference for graduate students, scholars, and professionals in urban planning, architecture, geography, and history, the Handbook of Waterfront Cities and Urbanism deserves to be on the shelf of urban authorities and any internationally minded academic or practitioner in real estate development, water management, preservation, or tourism.

The Bloomsbury Companion to Anarchism is a comprehensive reference work to support research in anarchism. The book considers the different approaches to anarchism as an ideology and explains the development of anarchist studies from the early twentieth century to the present day. It is unique in that it highlights the relationship between theory and practice, pays special attention to methodology, presents non-English works, key terms and concepts, and discusses new directions for the field. Focusing on the contemporary movement, the work outlines significant shifts in the study of anarchist ideas and explores recent debates. The Companion will appeal to scholars in this growing field, whether they are interested in the general study of anarchism or in more specific areas. Featuring the work of key scholars, The Bloomsbury Companion to Anarchism will be an essential tool for both the scholar and the activist.

How do you place an economic value on biodiversity? How does the trend toward high-tech industries affect pressure on environmental resources, at home and abroad? How can we build an environmentally sustainable future that makes sense economically? An international group of ecologists and economists gathered at the Missouri Botanical Garden in 1998 to discuss ecosystem services and the economy. Examples are drawn from New York Citys Catskill and Croton Watersheds, Australian savannas, Latin American cities and forests, European industrial systems, African river basins, and more.
