Résumé:
“The North” has long held powerful sway in Western culture. Often seen through contradictions —empty of life yet full of promise, populated by indigenous communities yet ripe for conquest, pristine yet marked by a long human history —the North has moved to the foreground of contemporary life as the most dramatic stage for the reality of climate change.

Résumé:
“The North” has long held powerful sway in Western culture. Often seen through contradictions —empty of life yet full of promise, populated by indigenous communities yet ripe for conquest, pristine yet marked by a long human history —the North has moved to the foreground of contemporary life as the most dramatic stage for the reality of climate change. This book brings together scholars from a range of disciplines to ask key questions about the North and how we’ve conceived it—and how conceiving of it in those terms has caused us to fail the region’s human and nonhuman life. Engaging questions of space, place, ingenuity, identity, nature, the environment, justice, narrative, history, and more; it offers a crucial starting point for an essential rethinking of both the idea and the reality of the North.

Résumé:
Les réflexions sur la propriété sont aujourd’hui dominées par l’économie orthodoxe, qui soutient que l’appropriation privée est optimale en termes d’efficacité productive et de conservation des ressources. Face à ce courant, un mouvement a émergé en faveur des communs – de la nature, de la connaissance et de la société –, pensés comme outils d’une transition vers plus de soutenabilité et de justice sociale. Mais, malgré son importance, ce mouvement semble limité par une absence de réflexion d’ensemble sur la constellation complexe et changeante des formes d’appropriation de la nature. Or depuis trois décennies, d’autres travaux ont renouvelé notre vision de l’histoire longue et conflictuelle de la propriété, saisie dans son rapport à l’environnement : ce sont ces voix que l’ouvrage voudrait faire entendre.

Résumé:
The construction industry is keen to give nature a bigger role in area development, but the road from ambition to realization and management is a challenging one. This book identifies key challenges encountered during the various phases of the planning process and highlights possible solutions drawn from practice. In ''Nature-inclusive Urban Development'' the authors look back to the very first European eco-districts from the final decade of the twentieth century and examine what the concept has delivered for residents and nature. They also assess the effectiveness of several pioneering international points systems in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Malmö, Stockholm, and The Hague, among other cities. The book explores the operation and benefits of these points systems, and provides valuable solutions gleaned from interviews with practitioners in key positions. As such, nature-inclusive urban development offers practical pathways for overcoming governance challenges and fostering innovation for making cities biodiverse.
