Описание: An insider`s guide to the world`s greatest `secret` gardens, green spaces, and pocket parks tucked away in cities around the globe
Tracing the first two decades of state-funded African American schools, Educational Reconstruction addresses the ways in which black Richmonders, black Mobilians, and their white allies created, developed, and sustained a system of African American schools following the Civil War. Hilary Green proposes a new chronology in understanding postwar African American education, examining how urban African Americans demanded quality public schools from their new city and state partners. Revealing the significant gains made after the departure of the Freedmen’s Bureau, this study reevaluates African American higher education in terms of developing a cadre of public school educator-activists and highlights the centrality of urban African American protest in shaping educational decisions and policies in their respective cities and states.

Описание: Cities currently account for about two-thirds of the world’s annual energy consumption and about 70 percent of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In the coming decades, urbanisation and income growth in developing countries are expected to push cities’ energy consumption and GHG emissions shares even higher, particularly where the majority of people remain underserved by basic infrastructure services and where city authorities are under-resourced to shift current trajectories. These challenges are faced by many cities and millions of people in the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) Region, which is experiencing unprecedented rates of urbanisation, as the region’s urban population grows almost twice as fast as the world’s urban population. This book lays out a blueprint for transforming EAP cities to global engines of green growth by choosing energy efficient solutions to their infrastructure needs. It urges national and municipal governments to reform institutions, build capacity, and strengthen energy planning and governance in order to mainstream energy efficiency on a citywide scale and introduce low-carbon policies in fast-growing cities in the EAP Region which will define the Region's energy future and its GHG footprint. This book is based on case studies undertaken in three pilot cities -- Cebu City (the Philippines), Da Nang (Vietnam), and Surabaya (Indonesia) -- which illustrate the use of an energy efficiency platform -- SUEEP (sustainable urban energy and emissions planning) -- for the identification and prioritisation of green investments across all major infrastructure sectors. It presents the SUEEP process as a framework for collaboration between municipal governments, stakeholders, private investors and financing institutions in achieving the green growth objectives at the city level. It also provides step-by-step guidance on the SUEEP framework in the form of a Guidebook to help a city develop its own energy and emissions plan and link its aspirations to actionable initiatives to improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions.

Nowadays, many people still have not heard about microgreens. This is because, for a very long time, Microgreens haven't been around. When Microgreens were first published on chefs' menus in the 1980s, they originated from San Fran ois. It did not, however, become popular until the 1990s. Their influence then began to spread east, and now microgreens are grown in many other countries in the United States and even elsewhere. Beets, arugula, basil, kale, and cilantro were among the first varieties to be grown. Today's development continues to increase the number of varieties.
In 2010, micro-greens became increasingly popular in the food industry. In most grocery stores worldwide, microgreens started appearing around that time.
Finally, in 2012, the micro-greens got the boost they wanted in the food industry. Researchers in the U.S. eventually became interested in microgreens and studied their nutritional composition and shelf life of microgreens. More than 25 microgreen varieties have been studied. Microgreen media outlets such as The Huffington Post and the National Public Radio gained coverage in this study. Everyone was soon interested in the high nutritional values of microgreens, recently discovered. Microgreen's only short shelf lives are defects. Researchers are also finding ways of extending their shelf lives, however. One way of doing this is to maximize and increase the visibility of microgreen packaging.

City visions represent shared, and often desirable, expectations about our urban futures. This book explores the history and evolution of city visions, placing them in the wider context of art, culture, science, foresight and urban theory.
It highlights and critically reviews examples of city visions from around the world, contrasting their development and outlining the key benefits and challenges in planning such visions.
The authors show how important it is to think about the future of cities in objective and strategic ways, engaging with a range of stakeholders – something more important than ever as we look to visions of a sustainable future beyond the COVID-19 crisis.

Описание: Using a broad international comparative perspective spanning multiple countries across South America, Europe and Africa, contributors explore resident-led self-building for low- and middle-income groups in urban areas. Although social, economic and urban prosperity differs across these contexts, there exists a recurring, cross-continental, tension between formal governance and self-regulation.Contributors examine the multifaceted regulation dilemmas of self-building under the conditions of modernisation and consider alternative methods of institutionalisation, place-making and urban design, reconceptualising the moral and managerial ownership of the city. Innovative in scope, this book provides an array of globalised solutions for navigating regulatory tensions in order to optimise sustainable development for the future.
