Créateur du concept mondialement reconnu de la « ville du quart d'heure », Carlos Moreno propose des solutions pour relever le triple défi écologique, économique et social de la ville de demain.
Chercheur et expert urbain, Carlos Moreno nous interroge sur notre rapport à nos espaces de vie et au temps utile. Dans sa vision d'une ville polycentrique, les six fonctions sociales essentielles - habiter, travailler, s'approvisionner, se soigner, s'éduquer, s'épanouir - doivent être accessibles dans un périmètre de 15 minutes.
Lanceur d'un débat mondial, indispensable à l'heure de la crise sanitaire planétaire que nous traversons, l'auteur analyse ce complexe et vibrant laboratoire à ciel ouvert qu'est la ville, où s'expriment nos contradictions et s'expérimentent les changements de nos modes de vie. Concentrant la majorité de la population du globe, mais aussi les grands enjeux du développement de l'humanité - culturels, environnementaux, technologiques, ou économiques -, les territoires urbains sont aujourd'hui pris en tenaille par les défis du siècle et doivent se réinventer de toute urgence.
Proposant un décryptage systémique de la ville, Carlos Moreno évalue les moyens et les champs d'action du bien-vivre et définit les enjeux des mutations accélérées par l'urbanisation et la métropolisation.
A fresh and innovative perspective on urban issues and creating sustainable cities In The 15-Minute City: A Solution for Saving Our Time and Our Planet, human city pioneer and international scientific advisor Carlos Moreno delivers an exciting and insightful discussion of the deceptively simple and revolutionary idea that everyday destinations like schools, stores, and offices should only be a short walk or bike ride away from home. This book tells the story of an idea that spread from city to city, describing a new way of looking at living that addresses many of the most intractable challenges of our time. Hundreds of mayors worldwide have already embraced the concept as a way to help recover from the pandemic, and the idea continues to gain speed. You'll learn why more and more cities are planning to make cars far less necessary for contemporary city-dwellers and how they're planning to achieve that goal. You'll also find: Strategies for cities to recover and adapt to benefit residents, saving them precious time Techniques to change the habits of automobile-dependent city residents and maximize social benefits of living in a human-centric city Scientifically developed, research-backed solutions for enduring urban issues and problems
Deeply committed to science, progress, and creativity, Moreno presents an essential and timely resource in The 15-Minute City, which will prove invaluable to anyone with an interest in modern and innovative approaches to consistently challenging urban issues that have bedeviled policy makers and city residents since the invention of the car.
Pour relever le triple défi écologique, économique et social de la ville de demain, l'urbaniste Carlos Moreno prône le concept de « ville du quart d'heure », dont il est le créateur : pour lui, les 6 fonctions sociales urbaines essentielles - habiter, travailler, s'approvisionner, se soigner, s'éduquer, s'épanouir -, qui nous interrogent sur notre rapport entre espaces de vie et temps utile, ne doivent pas être accessibles en plus de 15 minutes. L'auteur propose ici un décryptage systémique de la ville, évaluant les moyens et les champs d'action du bien-vivre face aux menaces de plus en plus présentes.
This volume is the first to present a unified perspective on the control of underactuated mechanical systems. Based on real-time implementation of parameter identification, this book provides a variety of algorithms for the Furuta pendulum and the inertia wheel pendulum, which are two-degrees-of-freedom mechanical systems. Specifically, this work addresses and solves the problem of motion control via trajectory tracking in one joint coordinate while another joint is regulated. Besides, discussions on extensions to higher degrees-of-freedom systems are given. The book, aimed at control engineers as well as graduate students, ranges from the problem of parameter identification of the studied systems to the practical implementation of sophisticated motion control algorithms. Offering real-world solutions to manage the control of underactuated systems, this book provides a concise tutorial on recent breakthroughs in the field, original procedures to achieve bounding of the error trajectories, convergence and gain tuning guidelines.
Environmental issues, vast and varied in their details, unfold at the confluence of people and place. They present complexities in their biophysical details, their scope and scale, and the dynamic character of human action and natural systems. Addressing environmental issues often invokes tensions among battling interests and competing priorities. Air and water pollution, the effects of climate change, ecosystem transformations-these and other environmental issues involve scientific, social, economic, and institutional challenges. This book analyzes why tackling many of these problems is so difficult and why sustainability involves more than adoption of greener, cleaner technologies. Sustainability, as discussed in this book, involves knowledge flows and collaborative decision processes that integrate scientific and technological methods and tools, political and governance structures and regimes, and social and community values. The authors synthesize a holistic and adaptive approach to rethinking the framework for restoring healthy ecosystems that are the foundation for thriving communities and dynamic economies. This approach is that of collective action. Through their research and practical experiences, the authors have learned that much wisdom resides among diverse people in diverse communities. New collaborative decision-making institutions must reflect that diversity and tap into its wisdom while also strengthening linkages among scientists and decision makers.From the pre-publication reviews:"Finally, we have a book that explains how science is irrelevant without people. It's people who decide when and how to use science, not scientists. This book gives us a roadmap for how to really solve complex problems. It involves hard work, and creating new relationships between scientists and the public that don't typically exist in our society." -John M. Hagan, Ph.D.President, Manomet Center forConservation Sciences
This book comprehensively discusses existing controversies in orthopedic and trauma surgery of the upper limb, i.e. of the shoulder, humerus, elbow, wrist and hand. Real-world examples by experts from leading institutions equip the reader with the necessary knowledge and insights to address controversial issues and clinical presentations.The volume is subdivided into 5 sections, each of which discusses the most relevant controversies related to each joint, such as surgical versus conservative interventions, resection vs. prosthetic arthroplasty and more generally if, when and how to intervene in diverse pathologic conditions.
This comprehensive guide is a valuable resource for all orthopedic surgeons, residents and fellows practicing in the field of upper limb surgery.
