Sustainable Resilient Built Environments - Proceedings Of Srbe 2022, India

~~198,09€~~ 178,28€ 10% OFF

 The proceedings of Sustainable Resilient Built Environments are based on the SRBE 2022 conference held in December 2022. It focuses on the advances under the overarching theme of ‘Sustainability’. The concept of ‘Sustainability’ has been conventionally defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In scientific literature, sustainable development has been analysed using different qualitative approaches, such as economic, social, ecological, cultural, institutional, ethical, and political. In this edited volume, the concepts of both ‘sustainability’, and ‘resilience’ are considered to open up useful pathways towards achieving sustainable buildings and infrastructure. Though the concepts of sustainability and resilience are considered to help improve the built environment, the interrelations and interdependence between these two concepts are not clearly evident. This has led to the questions such as: Is thesustainable built environment always resilient? Is the resilient built environment always sustainable? What more is needed for sustainability? In exploring these pertinent questions, the proposed edited volume is expected to unveil and disseminate new insights on the themes related to sustainable and resilient built environment.The themes of the proceedings lay a platform for researchers and professionals to integrate the aspects including smart, innovation, technologies, green, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, sustainability and resilience with regard to buildings and other built infrastructure. Specific objectives included as per the five themes are as follows:Environment Design and SustainabilitySustainable & Smart BuildingsCommunity Resilience & Social SustainabilityHeritage and SustainabilityPandemic issues and sustainable development

Urban Slums And Circular Economy Synergies In The Global South - Theoretical And Policy Imperatives For Sustainable Communities

~~158,99€~~ 143,09€ 10% OFF

 This book takes a theoretical and empirical distance from urban slums/low-income settlements as a threat to environmental sustainability and recast them as places where environmentally rehabilitative and circular practices occur—drawing on the theoretical lens of the circular economy (CE). CE is defined as regenerative system that minimizes waste, emission, and energy leakage by slowing, closing, and narrowing material and energy loops. In principle, CE departs from the traditional linear model of take-make-use-dispose. As conceived in urban contexts, circular cities offer possibilities to regenerate natural systems, design out waste, and keep products in use. While the CE key principles of reduce, repair, and reuse are essential to the sustainable and inclusive interventions in urban slums, there is lack of case studies exploring the role of place and agency, especially the slum living-CE nexus in global south contexts. In inequitable urban transitions, a nuanced understanding of thesynergies between urban slums and the circular economy is not only theoretically relevant for reconceptualizing the slum in urban sustainability discourses but also exert policy and practice ramifications to decidedly figure out how the urban slum phenomenon can foster the sustainable and inclusive development of marginal areas through contextual and people-centered initiatives.
