Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Protecting natural areas in the face of urbanization is one of the most important challenges for conservation in the 21st century. Rapid population growth and increasingly land-consumptive development patterns have combined in many countries to put severe pressure on natural systems. In the United States, sprawling development is the most significant factor affecting forest ecosystems in the South (Wear and Greis 2002) and is the leading cause of habitat loss and species endangerment in the contiguous U.S. (Czech et al. 2000). Forest Service Chief Dale Bosworth (2004) has identified loss of open space due to sprawling development as one of the four main threats to public and private forests.

Download or read book Balanced Urban Development: Options and Strategies for Liveable Cities written by Basant Maheshwari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a unique synthesis of concepts and tools to examine natural resource, socio-economic, legal, policy and institutional issues that are important for managing urban growth into the future. The book will particularly help the reader to understand the current issues and challenges and develop strategies and practices to cope with future pressures of urbanisation and peri-urban land, water and energy use challenges. In particular, the book will help the reader to discover underlying principles for the planning of future cities and peri-urban regions in relation to: (i) Balanced urban development policies and institutions for future cities; (ii) Understanding the effects of land use change, population increase, and water demand on the liveability of cities; (iii) Long-term planning needs and transdisciplinary approaches to ensure the secured future for generations ahead; and (iv) Strategies to adapt the cities and land, water and energy uses for viable and liveable cities. There are growing concerns about water, food security and sustainability with increased urbanisation worldwide. For cities to be liveable and sustainable into the future there is a need to maintain the natural resource base and the ecosystem services in the peri-urban areas surrounding cities. This need is increasing under the looming spectre of global warming and climate change. This book will be of interest to policy makers, urban planners, researchers, post-graduate students in urban planning, environmental and water resources management, and managers in municipal councils.

This book was released on 2010-03-03 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive discussion on urban growth and sprawl, and how they can be analyzed using remote sensing imageries. It compiles views of numerous researchers that help in understanding the urban growth and sprawl; their patterns, process, causes, consequences, and countermeasures; how remote sensing data and geographic information system techniques can be used in mapping, monitoring, measuring, analyzing, and simulating the urban growth and sprawl and what are the merits and demerits of available methods and models. This book will be of value for the scientists and researchers engaged in urban geographic research, especially using remote sensing imageries. This book will serve as a rigours literature review for them. Post graduate students of urban geography or urban/regional planning may refer this book as additional studies. This book may help the academicians for preparing lecture notes and delivering lectures. Industry professionals may also be benefited from the discussed methods and models along with numerous citations.

Book excerpt: Planners can use urban growth boundaries to meet state and local growth goals. This report shows how urban growth boundaries can concentrate new development within mapped areas to ensure efficient delivery of urban services, preserve more open land and farmland, and prevent the costly and detremental effects of urban sprawl. The report defines various types of urban growth areas, discusses the criteria for mapping boundaries for these areas, and tells how to make the boundaries work. It features case studies of communities in four states.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we assume recession as being the starting point for policy challenges, then we can interpret these economic downturns as opportunities for change and the reshaping of society, landscapes and the latent mechanisms of growth. This book illustrates different aspects of local strategic development introducing a novel interpretation of the intimate relationship between demographic and economic aspects in complex socio-environmental systems. A specific approach investigating the mechanisms of local development, cultural and environmental values within a strategic territorial vision, is proposed. Coming from and appealing to diverse academic backgrounds, our book address paradigmatic visions about regional and urban dynamics, focusing on landscape transformations and socioeconomic disparities. Technical topics discussed in the book include:Urban management; Metropolitan governance; ? Landscape; Spatial planning; Applied economics;Regional demography.
