Sustainable Cities and Communities de Walter Leal Filho

Sustainable Cities and Communities: Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Editat de Walter Leal Filho, Anabela Marisa Azul, Luciana Brandli, Pinar Gökcin Özuyar, Tony Wall
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 apr 2020

Abordarea accesului universal la locuințe sigure și accesibile reprezintă punctul central de plecare în acest volum monumental de 1000 de pagini. Descoperim aici o resursă enciclopedică ce analizează riguros Obiectivul de Dezvoltare Durabilă 11 (SDG 11) al Națiunilor Unite, oferind o perspectivă tehnică și academică asupra modului în care așezările umane pot deveni reziliente. Structura cărții urmărește fidel țintele Agendei 2030, progresând de la infrastructura de transport și siguranța rutieră până la strategii complexe de adaptare la schimbările climatice și managementul riscurilor de dezastru.

Apreciem modul în care editorii au integrat dimensiunea socială cu cea ecologică, oferind definiții clare și studii de caz despre impactul urbanizării asupra calității aerului și gestionării deșeurilor municipale. Considerăm acest titlu o alternativă academică solidă la SDG11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities – Towards Inclusive, Safe, and Resilient Settlements pentru cursurile de planificare urbană, cu avantajul unei acoperiri mult mai vaste și a unui aparat critic extins, specific formatului de enciclopedie.

Walter Leal Filho poziționează Sustainable Cities and Communities în continuarea preocupărilor sale sistematice din Handbook of Sustainability Science in the Future și Clean Water and Sanitation. Dacă lucrările sale anterioare explorau competențele generale pentru dezvoltare durabilă, acest volum se concentrează strict pe soluții integrate pentru mediul urban, făcând legătura necesară între politicile publice și realitățile tehnice din teren. Ritmul este cel al unei lucrări de referință, dens în date și orientat spre soluții aplicabile atât în țările dezvoltate, cât și în cele în curs de dezvoltare.

Descriere scurtă

The problems related to the process of industrialisation such as biodiversity depletion, climate change and a worsening of health and living conditions, especially but not only in developing countries, intensify. Therefore, there is an increasing need to search for integrated solutions to make development more sustainable. The United Nations has acknowledged the problem and approved the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. On 1st January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the Agenda officially came into force. These goals cover the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection.  
The Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals comprehensively addresses the SDGs in an integrated way. The Encyclopedia encompasses 17 volumes, each one devoted to one of the 17 SDGs. This volume addresses SDG 11, namely “Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”  and contains the description of a range of terms, which allows a better understanding and fosters knowledge. This book presents a set of papers on the state of the art of knowledge and practices about the numerous challenges for cities, solutions and opportunities for the future.
Concretely, the defined targets are:
  • Ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums
  • Provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons
  • Enhance inclusive and sustainable urbanization and capacity for participatory, integrated and sustainable human settlement planning and management in all countries 
  • Strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage
  • Significantly reduce the number of deaths and the number of people affected and substantially decrease the direct economic losses relative to global gross domestic product caused by disasters, including water-related disasters, with a focus on protecting the poor and people in vulnerable situations
  • Reduce the adverse per capita environmental impact of cities, including by paying special attention to air quality and municipal and other waste management
  • Provide universal access to safe, inclusive and accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children, older persons and persons with disabilities 
  • Support positive economic, social and environmental links between urban, peri-urban and rural areas by strengthening national and regional development planning
  • Substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency, mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and implement, in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, holistic disaster risk management at all levels 
  • Support least developed countries, including through financial and technical assistance, in building sustainable and resilient buildings utilizing local materials

She holds a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences, specializing in Ecology (2002, UC), and pursued her investigation on biology and ecology of fungi to pinpoint the role of mycorrhizal symbiosis for sustainability of Mediterranean forests under different land use scenarios at the Centre for Functional Ecology (CFE-UC), where she became an Associate Researcher (from 2009 to 2014). At CFE-UC, Marisa Azul developed a holistic approach that combined innovation in food production with sustainable development and public scientific awareness to multiple actors. At CNC, from 2014 on, Marisa Azul focuses her investigation on basic research and participatory research dynamics to pinpoint links between metabolism, health/disease, and sustainability. She has broad academic experience as a researcher working in participatory research and interdisciplinary that link biomedical and life/environmental sciences, social sciences, science education, science communication, and artistic forms. Her research interests also lie in bringing together the academy and social/economical players. She has been successful in attracting national and international funding, coordinating projects, and mentoring young researchers on the topics mentioned. She has co-authored over 40 scientific publications and book chapters, co-edited 4 books on Climate Change Management Series and 1 onWorld Sustainability Series published by Springer, co-authored 4 books for children and 2 comics, and co-produced 1 animation.
