Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book presents the findings of a three-year study on urban heat in Doha, Qatar, and discusses guidelines and strategies for planning agencies to consider in the context of moderating temperatures to provide pedestrians with greater access to ou…tdoor spaces and greater choice in modes of transport. If modifying urban form can reduce extreme temperatures in one of the hottest places on the planet, then perhaps other communities can learn how to create livable cities during a time of rapid changes to the climate. In fact, despite the periods of extreme heat, strategic planning and management of urban areas can improve residents' and visitors' ability to live, work, and move throughout the city comfortably.Doha, Qatar, a city with one of the most extreme climates on earth, has undergone rapid development over the past 40 years. Although cities in the Middle East are expanding at three times the international average (UN Report, 2012), the rapid populationand physical growth remain largely unexamined, particularly in terms of the unique conditions, qualities, and characteristics that give rise to these emerging centres. Speed, quality, and extent of urbanization impact neighbourhood-scale environmental conditions, and this book provides evidence that urban forms and materials can help to mediate temporal variation in microclimates and that landscape modifications can potentially reduce temperatures and increase accessibility to outdoor environments. By applying the lessons in this book, communities around the world can better adapt to the increasing frequency, duration and intensity of extreme heat.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - URBAN SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS In many cities of the world, long established and highly revered social and spatial traditions have become subject to both internal and external pressures for change. This book analytical examined a range of diffe…rent built environments (traditional houses to modern apartment buildings) in the city of Damascus, with a focus on understanding spatial behaviour and how it is changing. The study applied semiotic, as well as architectural and geographical theories to describe, compare, and evaluate sampled urban environments. The study examined components of the built environment, both as urbanscape characteristics and, as signs and information systems. The importance attached to deconstructing and understanding our perceptions of synthetic habits makes the book a good target for researchers in the field of social sciences as well as for urban designers (as space maker) and architects. It is also a valuable resource for readers seeking insight into the corporeal appearance of our authentic living world.
