The Carbon Efficient City shows how regional economies can be aligned with practices that drive carbon efficiency. It details ten strategies for reducing carbon emissions in our cities: standardized measurement, frameworks that support innovation, regulatory alignment, reducing consumption, reuse and restoration, focus on neighborhoods, providing spaces for nature, use of on-site life cycles for water and energy, coordination of regional transportation, and emphasis on solutions that delight people.
Although climate change is recognized as an urgent concern, local and national governments, nonprofits, and private interests often work at cross purposes in attempting to address it. The Carbon Efficient City's focus on concrete, achievable measures that can be implemented in a market economy gives it broad appeal to professionals and engaged citizens across the political spectrum.

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.

Описание: In early twentieth-century America, affluent city-dwellers made a habit of venturing out of doors and vacationing in resorts and national parks. Yet the rich and the privileged were not the only ones who sought respite in nature. In this pathbreaking book, historian Colin Fisher demonstrates that working-class white immigrants and African Americans in rapidly industrializing Chicago also fled the urban environment during their scarce leisure time. If they had the means, they traveled to wilderness parks just past the city limits as well as to rural resorts in Wisconsin and Michigan. But lacking time and money, they most often sought out nature within the city itself--at urban parks and commercial groves, along the Lake Michigan shore, even in vacant lots. Chicagoans enjoyed a variety of outdoor recreational activities in these green spaces, and they used them to forge ethnic and working-class community. While narrating a crucial era in the history of Chicago's urban development, Fisher makes important interventions in debates about working-class leisure, the history of urban parks, environmental justice, the African American experience, immigration history, and the cultural history of nature.
Vertical gardening is one of the most amazing gardening techniques (if not THE most amazing one) that you will do.
As a result of this astounding gardening technique it has now become possible for you to grow your own fresh vegetables, herbs and fruits - even though you may are limited on space or don't have the time or energy to grow a typical garden.
Still think that this is not possible and the only way in which you can grow fruits and vegetables, is on a large plot of land? This was the kind of thinking that was had not so long ago, but this is not the case today. As a result of science and technology, it is possible to create optimum conditions in even a small pot .
Space and natural resources have become a very rare commodity and not just in the cities. But even though these cities are huge and modernized, the access to garden fresh fruits and vegetables is almost non-existent.As we become more and more aware and concerned about how our food has been grown and processed, our desire for locally grown produce and homegrown fruits and vegetables has increased substantially.
This book covers
Why you should have a vertical garden
Choosing a site and preparing the soil
Arbors, arches, pergolas, trellises, planters and supports

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.
The idea behind greenhouse dates back to the Roman period when Emperor Tiberius requested every day an Armenian cucumber to be eaten; for this reason, his gardeners had to use a device very similar to those used today in modern greenhouses.
Nowadays, Greenhouse Gardening is one of the most common activities in the world. Why is it working? A greenhouse decreases the rate at which thermal energy is discharged from its structure by stopping heat absorbed by convection from leaving its environment. Usually, glass or plastic is the substrate for greenhouse building so that that sunlight can travel into it. This sunshine is essential to warming the greenhouse because it heats up the atmosphere within the greenhouse.
The primary purpose of a greenhouse garden is to prolong the growing season of the coveted crops and plants. Fans of horticulture should also be passionate about greenhouses because it helps them to grow plants and flowers throughout the season, which can then be brought into the home. A greenhouse garden of plastic or glass can be installed cheaply or expensively, and look attractive or clearly utilitarian.

Do you love to eat fresh, healthy vegetables but don't have enough time to maintain a typical row garden?
In that case, you are going to love this book.
These gardens can be best described as free-standing garden beds constructed slightly over the natural terrain. But why raised bed gardens? The reasons are pretty simple and straightforward:
When it comes to growing fresh, nutritious vegetables in your raised bed garden, it doesn't really matter whether or not you own a fertile piece of land. It's nothing like the traditional forms of gardening. To grow a raised bed garden, you don't have to be an experienced gardener either - it is a lot easier to learn and execute compared to traditional forms of gardening.
This book covers the following topics:
What is raised bed gardening?
How to build your raised bed garden
Benefits of this type of gardening
Make your own compost
Best soil mixed for a raised bed
Crop rotation and planting techniques
How to protect from cold and super-hot days
How to make beautiful your own garden
...And much more
Many first-time raised bed gardeners make the serious mistake of creating a garden that is too large to look after - and this is precisely why you should always kick start the project with a lot of strategic planning. Choosing an adequate size and layout of a raised bed garden is perhaps the most essential factor associated with the task. The bottom line here is that just like any other form of gardening, knowledge, and planning (or the lack of it) plays a pivotal role in determining the success or failure of a raised bed garden.
