Hardback. Condición: New. Sustainable development is at the forefront of urban, rural, social, agricultural and economic development policies in European countries, out of these areas, agriculture is researched the least as there is currently more focus on central and urban areas. Salvati and Konaxis present an interdisciplinary and multidimensional examination of the complex evolution of rural systems in advanced economies, and more specifically in Europe and the Mediterranean region, providing an integrated framework approaching environmental problems and socioeconomic issues jointly. Distinctive chapters authored by leading scholars in Europe identify the intrinsic peculiarity of the environmental-economic nexus characteristic of advanced economies and the most important differences with other socioeconomic contexts. Both contributions from a traditional ecological/agronomic vision, and studies having a more strict socio-demographic and economic focus, clarify the role of policies addressing sustainable development goals in the 'kaleidoscopic' rural landscape, confirming the need of place-specific approaches to socio-ecological complexity and the partial effectiveness of generalized, top-down measures.Against the archetypal vision of economic backwardness of agricultural and forest systems, Transitional Rural Landscapes shows a dynamic image of rural landscapes under the increasing impact of climate change, providing novel interpretations, conceptual definitions, and operational tools designed to reduce ecological fragility and economic vulnerability.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book seeks a common tread linking economic growth, urban development and environmental sustainability, specifically focusing on urban and metropolitan contexts in developed countries. Starting from a theoretical reflection on capitalistic growth models and the evolution of territorial inequalities, it examines how social and environmental dynamics intersect with economic processes, highlighting the central role of urban areas as innovation, productivity and social transformation engines. It underlines the necessity of new governance strategies aimed at fostering sustainable growth pathways, through inclusive public policies and integrated urban tools. The second part of the book delves into the concept of sustainable development within the context of global warming. The phenomenon of urban sprawl is analyzed, with a focus on critical issues related to demographic growth, coastlization and land consumption. It then proposes a polycentric model as an answer to more balanced urban growth. In this framework, territorial economics gains relevance as an emerging tool to study the intricate relationship between competitiveness and sustainability. The analysis starts with describing settlement pattern development and, considering the impact of polycentrism on urban-rural relations, it emphasizes how spatial planning can integrate environmental and economic considerations at various spatial scales. The book concludes with a reflection on social inequalities and the necessity for multilevel governance to sustainably face contemporary urban challenges.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book sheds light on the mechanisms at the base of formation and consolidation of vacant land in metropolitan regions, an under-debated issue of urban growth, regional science and architecture. The book adopts a kaleidoscope of different academic and practical approaches, mixing multiple perspectives that combine architectural and urban planning disciplines with more specifically economic, social and environmental aspects of the urban landscape. The book adopts a multi-disciplinary frame with the aim at reading the complexity of mechanisms and processes underlying urban growth and the formation of vacant land. Vacant land was investigated from three perspectives- architectural/design, economic/social and planning/environmental. The multiple reading frames in the book highlights further academic debate on a particularly intriguing - while less investigated - topic.…
