English | ISBN: 3031596706 | 2024 | 374 pages | EPUB | 66 MB
The transformation of the built environment during the last few decades has placed enormous demands for land. About 7.7 billion people live on the planet, which is expected to increase by 2.5-3.0 billion in just 30 years, with the highest growth projected to be in less developed regions. The spreading of urban informality in cities of the Global South leads to chaotic informal economies and an inability to capitalize on urban-rural economies of scale and exchange. The combination of socioeconomic and climate change vulnerability in urban centres is having a "double impact" on already poverty-stricken and marginalized groups (especially women, racialized, and ethnic minority groups) – leading to what has come to be known as "climate injustice". Land constitutes a main component of urban development and is the main asset for informal urban communities in the Middle East region. The State and urban planners can aim to regulate the growth of informal land markets or represent the interests of the citizens. However, in reality the increasing retreat or absence of the public authorities, the crisis of confidence between the governed and governing, and the deficit of urban policies to address the multitude of generated challenges cannot be concealed. This volume examines three main themes: land management and governance in the era of sustainability; Legal, informal, and illegal land tenures; and the broader socioeconomic changes impacting land (and housing) delivery. It investigates the correlations, transitions, and interactions between the various forces and multi-stakeholders that control and adjust the land delivery system for low-income groups and the urban poor. This includes exploring mechanisms for correcting urban inequalities between central and peripheral quarters and the modes of shared governance. Finally, the volume also discusses developing national land policies based on legal instruments that connect the implementation of the SDGs, land, and tenure security as critical drivers for more sustainable land delivery realization.

English | ISBN: 3031706722 | 2024 | 530 pages | EPUB | 57 MB
This multidisciplinary book focuses on the best practices in a range of areas, such as: I. Sustainable development of agricultural production; II. Intelligent agricultural techniques, tools, and systems; III. Sustainability in veterinary practice; and IV. Economic, ecological and social systems for human development. This book is a truly interdisciplinary publication, useful to scholars, social movements, practitioners, and members of governmental agencies and private companies. Sustainable agricultural systems are crucial for ensuring food security, conserving natural resources and mitigating climate change. Innovations in this field play a key role in improving agricultural practices to make them more environmentally friendly, economically viable and socially responsible. By implementing the innovative approaches and technologies, sustainable agricultural systems can help address the challenges facing agriculture in the twenty-first century and build a more resilient and sustainable food system for the future.
Free DownloadYonghui Wang, "Innovations in Impact and Blast Protections: Foam-Filled Energy Absorbers and Steel-Concrete-Steel Sandwich Structures"
English | ISBN: 9811943745 | 2023 | 371 pages | EPUB | 134 MB
This book develops several novel foam-filled structures and steel-concrete-steel (SCS) sandwich structures, which provides more alternatives for ensuring the safety of buildings and infrastructures under extreme loading, like impact and blast. In the first part of this book, the aluminium foam- and polyurethane foam-filled structures have been developed for dissipating impact and blast energy. Experimental and numerical studies have been conducted to obtain their behaviours under impact loading. In addition, analytical models have also been proposed to assess their energy absorption performances and facilitate the impact and blast design when using the proposed foam-filled structures. In the second part of this book, SCS sandwich structures with novel shear connectors have been developed and their behaviours under impact and blast loading have been experimentally, numerically and analytical studied. Analytical models for predicting the impact and blast responses of SCS sandwich structures have also been developed. In the third part of this book, a new steel-polyurethane foam-steel-concrete-steel (SPUFSCS) panel (i.e. the combination of foam material and SCS panel) has been developed to achieve a higher impact resistant capacity. Owing to the increasing impact and blast threats on buildings and infrastructures, the studies presented in this book are of significant importance for providing several new solutions for impact and blast enhancement.
