Growing Green Infrastructure in Contemporary Asian Cities: Case Studies in Green Infrastructure Methods and Practice
by Ian MellGrowing Green Infrastructure in Contemporary Asian Cities examines to what extent green infrastructure (GI) is being implemented in East and Southeast Asian cities. The book reflects upon the integration of contemporary approaches to landscape planning alongside traditional forms of green space design and cultural understandings of the landscape in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. Working from a multi-locational perspective, the book illustrates how political, socio-cultural, economic, and ecological factors influence the delivery of GI and the consequences of these decisions. The book provides a set of best practice recommendations for the design, development, and management of greener urban areas. It both explains how GI is being utilised in East and Southeast Asia to address climate change, promote economic prosperity, and support the development of more livable places, and identifies future trends in its use. It is a key resource for any practitioners, students, and academics working in landscape planning and green infrastructure in an Asian context.
Growing Greener: Putting Conservation Into Local Plans And Ordinances
by Randall G. ArendtGrowing Greener is an illustrated workbook that presents a new look at designing subdivisions while preserving green space and creating open space networks. Randall Arendt explains how to design residential developments that maximize land conservation without reducing overall building density, thus avoiding the political and legal problems often associated with "down-zoning."Arendt offers a three-pronged strategy for shaping growth around a community's natural and cultural features, demonstrating ways of establishing or modifying the municipal comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance, and subdivision ordinance to include a strong conservation focus. Open space protection becomes the central organizing principle for new residential development, and the open space that is protected is laid out to form an interconnected system of protected lands across a community.Growing Greener builds upon and expands the basic ideas presented in Arendt's Conservation Design for Subdivisions, broadening the scope to include more detailed sections on the comprehensive planning process and information on how zoning ordinances can be updated to incorporate the concept of conservation design. It is the first practical publication to explain in detail how resource-conserving development techniques can be put into practice by municipal officials, residential developers, and site designers, and it offers a simple and straightforward approach to balancing opportunities for developers and conservationists.
Growing Livelihoods: Local Food Systems and Community Development (Earthscan Tools for Community Planning)
by Rhonda Phillips Chris WhartonCommunity Planning is starting to include a broader food systems focus, spanning topics such as nutrition and health outcomes, sustainable farming practices, economic and social implications of local food production, distribution, and consumption. Together, these issues are a driving force for the passions of those seeking positive change in their communities through healthy food. The purpose of this book is to explore how and where local food and farms, as part of a local or regional food system, can positively impact both economic development and overall well-being of communities. Across North America, there are good examples of the ways in which innovative local food systems provide opportunities for: increasing job growth and entrepreneurship; retaining local farmers on their land while nourishing their community; and providing communities places to congregate, bond, and become closer-knit. Six such examples are highlighted, each illustrating a novel model offering unique contributions to community economic health and well-being. These important cases offer practitioners, advocates, academics, and students insight into how applications can be built or studied in their own communities.

Growing Smarter: Achieving Livable Communities, Environmental Justice, And Regional Equity (Urban And Industrial Environments)
by Robert Gottlieb Robert Bullard Don Chen Carl Anthony Daniel HutchThe smart growth movement aims to combat urban and suburban sprawl by promoting livable communities based on pedestrian scale, diverse populations, and mixed land use. But, as this book documents, smart growth has largely failed to address issues of social equity and environmental justice. Smart growth sometimes results in gentrification and displacement of low- and moderate-income families in existing neighborhoods, or transportation policies that isolate low-income populations. Growing Smarter is one of the few books to view smart growth from an environmental justice perspective, examining the effect of the built environment on access to economic opportunity and quality of life in American cities and metropolitan regions. The contributors to Growing Smarter--urban planners, sociologists, economists, educators, lawyers, health professionals, and environmentalists--all place equity at the center of their analyses of "place, space, and race." They consider such topics as the social and environmental effects of sprawl, the relationship between sprawl and concentrated poverty, and community-based regionalism that can link cities and suburbs. They examine specific cases that illustrate opportunities for integrating environmental justice concerns into smart growth efforts, including the dynamics of sprawl in a South Carolina county, the debate over the rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and transportation-related pollution in Northern Manhattan. Growing Smarter illuminates the growing racial and class divisions in metropolitan areas today--and suggests workable strategies to address them.

Growing Up Greek in St. Louis (Voices of America)

Through a series of vivid personal accounts of growing up in two worlds during the post-WWII era, Growing Up Greek in St. Louis explores the challenges faced by Greek-Americans as they sought to preserve a rich cultural heritage while assimilating to American ways.From a detailed account of her Grandmothers' struggles during the occupation of Greece during WWII and the Asia Minor Holocaust to the first hand experiences faced by Greek-American children in Greek school, the celebration of name days, and the ever-present "evil eye," the book captures the sense of tradition, history, hospitality (philotimo), and community so vital to the Greek experience.
Growing Up Guggenheim: A Personal History of a Family Enterprise
by Peter Lawson-JohnstonIn Growing Up Guggenheim, Peter Lawson-Johnston—a Guggenheim himself, and the board president who oversaw the transformation of the renowned museum from a local New York institution to a global art venture—shares a personal memoir that includes intimate portraits of the five people principally responsible for the entire Guggenheim art legacy.In addition to first-hand biographical accounts of his grandfather Solomon Guggenheim (the museum&’s founder), his cousin Harry (Solomon&’s successor), and his famously rebellious cousin Peggy (whose magnificent Venice art collection he helped bring under New York Guggenheim management), the author tells the stories of long-time museum director Thomas Messer, who initiated the bold expansion of Frank Lloyd Wright&’s original museum building, and current director Thomas Krens, whose controversial tenure has featured such innovations as the Guggenheim&’s wildly successful first international outpost in Bilbao, Spain, and exhibits devoted to fashion and motorcycles.Lawson-Johnston also traces his own career, from his first job as sales manager of a remote feldspar mine, to his rapid ascent to the family summit, to his extension of the Guggenheim legacy in ways none of his predecessors could have envisioned. Despite his native and tangible humility, this evocative narrative makes clear Lawson-Johnston&’s indispensable role as the loyal steward of one of America&’s most famous family enterprises.

Growing Up in Baltimore: A Photographic History (Images of America)
by Eden Unger BowditchChronicling the period from the mid-nineteenth century to the early 1900s through striking vintage photographs, Growing Up in Baltimore pays tribute to the enduring courage and spirit of children. In a city that has been, at once, blessed with a rich port and torn apart by war, filled with pristine parks and scarred by the ravages of industrial life, childhood has reflected the ever-changing times and culture in American life. From baseball games and trips to the zoo to schoolyard pals and amusement park rides, children explored the world around them. But the nostalgia and innocence of well-born youth mingled with the harsher realities that many boys and girls knew as their daily lives-laboring in the mills and factories, the haphazard destruction of fires and storms, the segregation of public places, the cold and hunger so keenly felt during the Great Depression.

Growing Up in San Francisco's Chinatown: Boomer Memories from Noodle Rolls to Apple Pie
by Edmund S WongChinese American baby boomers who grew up within the twenty-nine square blocks of San Francisco's Chinatown lived in two worlds. Elders implored the younger generation to retain ties with old China even as the youth felt the pull of a future sheathed in red, white and blue.

It was a childhood immersed in two vibrant cultures and languages, shaped by both. Author Edmund S. Wong brings to life Chinatown's heart and soul from its golden age.

Grundlagen der Architektur-Wahrnehmung
by Jörg Kurt GrütterWarum wird über das Aussehen unserer gebauten Umwelt, über die Ästhetik der Architektur heute so viel gestritten? Warum divergieren die Meinungen über die ästhetische Qualität von Bauten oft auch bei Fachleuten extrem? Warum sind wir uns gerade bei der Architektur nicht einig, was schön ist und was nicht? Die meisten Bereiche des Bauens, wie zum Beispiel Statik und Bauphysik, sind messbar und deshalb auch mit objektiven Argumenten belegbar. Dies gilt nicht für die Ästhetik der Architektur; sie ist nicht quantifizierbar. Ein Urteil über sie ist immer subjektbezogen, stark vom Betrachter abhängig.Trotzdem ist die Ästhetik der Architektur nicht nur eine Frage des Geschmacks. Viele Zusammenhänge zwischen Gebäude als Objekt und Betrachter als Subjekt sind mit Hilfe von Wahrnehmungspsychologie und Informationstheorie objektiv bestimmbar.Das vorliegende Buch macht den äusserst komplexen Prozess der Architektur-Wahrnehmung auf eine einfache Art transparenter und trägt damit zu einem besseren Verständnis unserer gebauten Umwelt bei.

Grundlagen der virtuellen Realität: Von der Entdeckung der Perspektive bis zur VR-Brille
by Armin GrasnickDie uns bekannte Realität kann heute mit technischen Verfahren aufgezeichnet und wirklichkeitsgetreu wiedergegeben werden. Raum und Zeit werden in der künstlichen Realität als Kopie wieder virtuell erschaffen. Die Wiedergabe der virtuellen Realität beschränkt sich aber nicht auf die reine Kopie des Vorhandenen. Ein Besucher des virtuellen Raumes muss sich nicht mit dem verpixelten Abbild des Altbekannten begnügen, sondern kann in der Scheinwelt irrealen Erscheinungen begegnen, die real nie existiert haben oder sogar physikalisch unmöglich sind. Das ermöglicht eine Erweiterung der aufgezeichneten Realität und erlaubt die Wahrnehmung überraschend neuer Perspektiven.Eine Perspektive bezeichnet dabei die Wahrnehmung eines Sachverhaltes von einem bestimmten Standpunkt aus und entspricht der Betrachtungsweise. Eine Perspektive ist aber ebenfalls die Beobachtung einer Szene aus einer Betrachtungsposition. Aus verschiedenen Perspektiven entsteht bei der Wiedergabe durch Betrachtung die Illusion der Realität. Diese Vision beruht weder auf Einbildung noch Halluzination, sondern ist die Grundfunktion der virtuellen Realität. In diesem Buch werden die Konzepte, Systeme und Technologien zur Erzeugung der virtuellen Realität von den antiken Anfängen bis in die Gegenwart beschrieben und ein Ausblick in eine mögliche Zukunft gegeben.
