War Victims and the Right to a City: From Damascus to Zaatari

War Victims and the Right to a City: From Damascus to Zaatari by Hind Al-Shoubaki
English | EPUB | 2022 | 135 Pages | ISBN : 3031046005 | 56.1 MB

This book analyzes the role of integrated spatial planning in constructing eco-sustainable urban housing in post-conflict scenarios and investigates two different spaces in an emergency: Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan and Damascus city in Syria. The book presents a new innovative tool that assists in building a successful and sustainable reconstruction after emergencies which corresponds to the planning approach's heterogeneous nature within emergency situations. The same innovative theoretical framework also covers the ramifications of climate change on the urban built environment and reduces its sociological impact on the stricken communities.

The Law of Coastal Adaptation: Insights from Germany and New Zealand by Linda Schumacher
English | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 361 Pages | ISBN : 3030489612 | 8 MB

This work investigates law as an instrument to deal with the challenges of sea level rise. As the two countries chosen as examples differ significantly in their adaptation strategies and the corresponding legal regulations, the author presents general ideas on how any legal framework facing similar challenges could be improved. In particular, (flood) risk assessments, coastal defences and flood-resistant design as well as spatial and land use planning are discussed, including managed retreat. Moreover, conflicts as well as potential synergies of coastal adaptation and nature conservation are examined.
