Editat de Ashok K. Dutt, Allen G. Noble, Frank J. Costa, Rajiv R. Thakur, Sudhir K. Thakur

en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 dec 2015

EDIȚIA: Această primă ediție din 2016 a volumului al doilea din seria Spatial Diversity and Dynamics in Resources and Urban Development extinde cercetarea dincolo de simpla explicare a metodelor tradiționale, explorând noi intersecții între gestionarea resurselor și dinamica urbană. Observăm o tranziție clară către utilizarea datelor socio-demografice pentru a sprijini inițiativele de planificare strategică, oferind o perspectivă tehnică asupra vulnerabilității umane și a transformărilor sistemelor urbane sub influența schimbărilor structurale.

Recomandăm acest volum pentru rigoarea cu care abordează teme precum urbanismul neoliberal și „glocalizarea” sustenabilității. Structura cărții este organizată meticulos în patru secțiuni: baze teoretice, analize cantitative, impact economic și riscuri, asigurând o progresie logică de la concept la aplicație practică. Lucrarea extinde cadrul propus de Urbanization and Regional Sustainability in South Asia cu date noi din ultima decadă, punând accent pe utilizarea unor instrumente moderne precum analiza hyperlink-urilor pentru evaluarea crizelor financiare și modelele matematice de corelație socio-economică.

În contextul operei editorilor, acest volum reprezintă o evoluție firească a temelor explorate în Regional Development and Planning for the 21st Century și Urban Growth and Development in Asia. Dacă lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe fundamentele planificării, prezentul titlu integrează abordări interdisciplinare recente, corelând geografia cu sociologia urbană și economia dezvoltării. Este o resursă esențială care documentează ritmul accelerat al schimbărilor urbane în Sudul Global, oferind în același timp studii comparative relevante pentru spațiul american și african.

De ce să citești această carte

Această lucrare este indispensabilă cercetătorilor din domeniul geografiei umane și planificării urbane. Cititorul câștigă acces la metodologii avansate de analiză cantitativă și la studii de caz globale care explică modul în care transformările economice remodelează spațiul urban. Este un instrument teoretic și practic solid pentru înțelegerea sustenabilității urbane într-o lume marcată de hazarde și schimbări structurale rapide.

Despre autor

Ashok K. Dutt, Allen G. Noble și colegii lor sunt figuri de referință în geografia urbană și planificarea regională, având o carieră dedicată studierii dinamicii spațiale în Asia și la nivel global. Ashok K. Dutt este cunoscut pentru abordările sale interdisciplinare care combină geografia cu sociologia și istoria urbană, în timp ce Allen G. Noble a adus contribuții semnificative în studiul peisajelor culturale și al așezărilor umane. Împreună, au coordonat numeroase volume care au definit standardele de cercetare în domeniu, transformând experiența lor academică într-un reper pentru politicile de dezvoltare urbană contemporană.

Recenzii

“The volume starts with a general introduction to the contemporary trends in urban development … . present a substantial quantity of reading material with divergent content, style and methodological approach. … the papers in the book are readable, a few quite interesting and a few very original not only their content and style but also in their convincing argument, based on an in-depth study. … the volume deserve a place on the shelves of educational and research institutions.” (K. R. Dikshit, Transactions, Vol. 39 (1), 2017)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This double-volume work focuses on socio-demographics and the use of such data to support strategic resource management and planning initiatives. Papers go beyond explanations of methods, technique and traditional applications to explore new intersections in the dynamic relationship between the utilization and management of resources, and urban development.
International authors explore numerous experiences, characteristics of development and decision-making influences from across Asia and Southeast Asia, as well as recounting examples from America and Africa. Papers propound techniques and methods used in geographical research such as support vector machines, socio-economic correlates and travel behaviour analysis.
In this volume the contributors examine cutting-edge theories explaining diversity and dynamics in urban development. Topics covered include human vulnerability to hazards, space and urban problematic, assessment and evaluation of regional urban systems and structures and urban transformations as a result of structural change, economic development and underdevelopment. The significance of these topics lie in the pace and volume of change as is happening in geography reflecting continued development within established fields of inquiry and the introduction of significantly new approaches during the last decade.
Readers are invited to consider the dynamics of spatial expansion of urban areas and economic development, and to explore conceptual d
iscussion of the innovations in and challenges on urbanization processes, urban spaces themselves and both resource management and environmental management. Together, the two volumes contribute to the interdisciplinary literature on regional resources and urban development by collating recent research with geography at its core. Scholars of urban geography, human geography, urbanism and sustainable development will be particularly interested in this book.
