El objeto de este libro es presentar la Ciudad Activa y, sobre todo, cómo conseguirla; porque la importancia de una pandemia global, como es el sedentarismo, ha vuelto a poner en primer término la salud y el papel de las ciudades para mantenerla. El sedentarismo es un problema global y complejo que, sin embargo, halla su solución en una cuestión muy natural: el movimiento. Ahora bien, fomentar la actividad física en la población no es una tarea sencilla y requiere esfuerzos individuales, sociales y del entorno. Por eso, trabajar en la construcción de ciudades mas vivibles y saludables es un ejercicio colectivo de solidaridad con la ciudadanía de hoy y de las próximas generaciones, que involucra a actores públicos y privados y a la propia población. En un ejercicio de anticipación sintética, podría apuntarse que una Ciudad Activa es aquella que decide dar prioridad real a la salud en todas sus actuaciones, creando oportunidades en los entornos construidos y sociales para que la ciudadanía pueda ser físicamente activa en su vida cotidiana. Para lograrlo, la Ciudad Activa propone dinámicas novedosas, pero también aprovecha algunas anteriores, apuntando un horizonte de sentido que permite la integración de todas las intervenciones urbanas que persiguen la mejora de la calidad de vida de sus habitantes. El libro integra el discurso acerca de la Ciudad Activa dentro del contexto urbano de las últimas décadas, a la vez que lo aborda desde un punto de vista conceptual para proponer su caracterización. El núcleo principal del texto presenta una serie de estrategias para avanzar en la dirección de la Ciudad Activa mediante casos de estudio en dieciséis ciudades diferentes que permiten extraer recomendaciones y una guía de evaluación. En cualquier caso, hay que advertir que la Ciudad Activa no es un destino, sino un proceso de perfeccionamiento continuo que no tiene límite. Es un work in progress permanente. Esta es la razón del título del libro: Hacia la Ciudad Activa.
The promotion of sustainable urban development and livable cities in the past three decades has effectively merged the themes of urban health, urban sustainability, and urban livability into an integrated research field. As more people are predicted to live in a relatively confined space, the balance between the physical/built environment, social environment, and urban dwellers becomes more delicate. Urban systems have evolved to be more complex than ever during this process. While complex systems often offer relative stability, delicate balance requires carefully designed plans and management to avoid collapse. It is, hence, of great interest and importance to know what future sustainable and livable cities look like. Intersecting Health, Livability, and Human Behavior in Urban Environments considers how to improve the quality of the environment and healthy living in contemporary and future urban environments. Covering key topics such as environmental health, smart cities, and urban health, this premier reference source is ideal for policymakers, government officials, scholars, researchers, academicians, instructors, and students.
La "fábrica urbana" plantea un marco conceptual y un utillaje teórico para comprender por qué una ciudad es como es en su estado final, en su resultado observable. A partir del producto final de la ciudad, del espacio, como la percibimos hoy, y de la visión del proceso histórico que nos ofrece la arqueología, podemos entender cómo fue la acción social que le otorgó una determinada identidad y configuración, el «texto» primigenio que otorga carta de nacimiento a ese espacio. Las aportaciones de Weber, Bourdieu, Elias o el geógrafo Di Méo ayudan al autor a construir una lectura de las sociedades en el espacio. El libro plantea un marco conceptual y un utillaje teórico para formular los interrogantes adecuados que permitan comprender por qué una ciudad es como es en su estado final, en su resultado observable.
We are living in a critical moment, a reality marked by environmental and socio-economic limits that requires innovative and realistic forms of action and planning. This is what regenerative urbanism proposes, a new approach based on utopian pragmatism that seeks to restore balance to the urban territory by designing systems that allow it to adapt and transform. It is a methodology that defines models that do not consume available resources, but rather generate new ones that ensure compatibility between economic and social prosperity and nature. Santander, Hábitat Futuro (Santander, Future Habitat) is the city model created from this methodology, a proposal for the transformation of this city for the year 2055. It is an open model based on innovation and citizen participation that prepares and adapts the territory for the different scenarios to come. Santander, Habitat Futuro is a guide that directs the commitment of the different social, economic and political agents towards a common goal: to achieve a circular, sustainable, resilient, vertebrate, prosperous, vital and inclusive city. A model that, due to its innovative nature, can serve as an example to other intermediate cities around the world.
This fictional, spiritual, and inspirational message could be enjoyable and adaptable to all ages. Jabeth, an ordinary young man who loves God and humanity, finds a meaningful purpose in his life for a greater cause, knowing that time for humanity is running short due to a judgment toward them coming from a misunderstood creator of his own creatures. Jabeth becomes an instrument to the cure, healing, and reconciliation between the divine and humans. It is horrible because of the destiny, consequences, and illness of what men haul on themselves by ignoring their creator. It is wonderful because of the desperate love and desire of this divinity to restore this broken relation and to provide the cure to the evil that has infected humanity. But he cannot do it by himself; he needs ordinary individuals like Jabeth, you, and me to bring goodness and life to a decaying race.
