Beyond Carbon Toward Liberation: An Urban Bioethical Case for a Socially and Environmentally Just University Health System

Burkholder, Caroline Presley 08 1900 (has links)
Awareness of critical public health issues stemming from historical and contemporary environmental injustice has been growing, yet institutions are still working to identify how to respond. How do we transform University Health System infrastructure, in the built environment and affiliated community assets and human capital, to center equity and the lived experience of climate injustice in urban communities? Through the application of urban bioethical principles and examination of a public state-related university and its health system in a major U.S. city, I argue that the higher education institutional climate action planning process for medical schools and their attendant university health systems, in concert with public sector actors, can be a vehicle and accelerator for achieving health equity in urban communities and suggest what exactly that could or should look like. This thesis will look at the role of university health systems in addressing climate change and mitigating its impacts. More specifically, it looks to provide context for the influence of “meds and eds” in urban communities: how their status as anchor institutions and sites of economic development implicates their responsibility to anticipate the differentiated material experience of climate change. As sites of care delivery, medical education and training, and major employers these institutions have a duty to ameliorate the associated inequitable health outcomes of climate change. I provide a model for action by all urban university health system stakeholders with recommendations to sustain equitable resilience in the face of environmental crisis. / Urban Bioethics

Exploring the Future of Urban Development in the Region of Stockholm : Promotion of adolescent’s mental health and well-being through experimental governance

Perinajova, Barbora January 2023 (has links)
This thesis will explore the possible obstacles among Region Stockholm municipalities in promoting adolescents’ mental health and well-being through experimental governance. The thesis will examine the municipal and non-municipal points of view on specifically promoting adolescents’ mental health and well-being through experimental governance in the Swedish context with the use of urban sustainability transitions and transition management frameworks. The urban sustainability transitions will help us understand the role of cities in creating new modes of urban governing processes. In addition, the use of a transition management framework will help us to understand the importance of shifting from traditional management approaches by rather placing greater focus on innovative and design-oriented methods. This approach highlights the importance of learning by doing process rather than a reaching specific destination. In addition, I will use a qualitative research design that uses the methods of semi- structured interviews. The empirical findings are analysed with the help of thematic analysis through the theoretical frameworks and concepts. It has been demonstrated an observable slow- paced adoption of experimental governance, insufficient specific promotion of adolescents’ mental health and well-being, and distant relationship between experimental governance and promotion specifically adolescents’ mental health and well-being in the urban planning process.

[pt] O PORTO MARAVILHA E A SUSTENTABILIDADE URBANA / [en] PORTO MARAVILHA AND THE URBAN SUSTAINABILITY

CAROLINE SAMPAIO DE ALMEIDA 17 October 2019 (has links)
[pt] Tendo em vista que a sustentabilidade urbana é um dos principais desafios da atualidade em face do crescimento e do adensamento das grandes cidades e áreas metropolitanas, urge a necessidade de compreender a abordagem que está sendo dada ao tema dentro do contexto das intervenções urbanas mais recentes. Partindo da premissa básica de que não é possível haver desenvolvimento sustentável sem que seja considerada, em sua essência, sua característica multidisciplinar, a concepção de novos projetos deve abranger os aspectos econômicos, sociais e ecológicos de forma simultânea e integrada. A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo verificar se o projeto elaborado para o Porto Maravilha contribui para a sustentabilidade urbana ao longo da região portuária na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A partir de uma reflexão teórica, foram elaborados critérios de análise geral que possibilitassem a compreensão de como os aspectos de sustentabilidade foram aplicados na região de maneira mais ampla e integrada. Por meio da pesquisa de campo, bem como dos documentos disponibilizados pela Companhia de Desenvolvimento Urbano do Porto do Rio de Janeiro (CDURP), foi possível realizar uma análise dos critérios estipulados previamente ao longo do trabalho. Por fim, por meio de uma representação cartográfica que sintetiza os resultados obtidos pela pesquisa, foi possível verificar que o Porto Maravilha não atende aos aspectos de sustentabilidade preestabelecidos pela metodologia proposta de forma equitativa, visto que não contempla sua distribuição de forma mais ampla e integrada entre os diversos setores do projeto. / [en] Given that urban sustainability is one of the current main challenges in what concerns big cities and metropolitan areas growth and densification, the need to understand the chosen approach for the theme in the most recent urban interventions urges. Considering the impossibility of sustainable development without taking in account it s essential multidisciplinarity as a basic premise, new urbanization projects conception must comprehend economic, social and ecologic aspects in an integrated and simultaneous way. This research aims to verifying if Porto Maravilha s Project in Rio de Janeiro city has contributed for the region s sustainability. Using a specific bibliography, general analysis criteria have been formulated to allow the understanding of how sustaintability aspects were applied in the region in the widest and most integrated way. Throughout field research and other documents it was possible to perform a sustainability analysis based on the criteria previously defined by the methodology developed throughout the paper. In conclusion, based on a cartographic representation which synthesizes the research results, it was possible to verify that Porto Maravilha does not comply with equality the pre-determined sustainability aspects proposed by the suggested methodology, given that it does not fulfil its distribution on the widest and most integrated way among the project s diversified sectors.

Exploring culture as a driver for urban sustainability

Priyadarshini, Annete, Riquelme Fernández, Irene, Macharová, Nicole January 2022 (has links)
Many scholars and practitioners consider culture an essential ingredient of sustainability that is often underrepresented in the mainstream discourse on sustainability. However, in the last decade, the idea of culture as an agent of transformation capable of driving urban sustainability has gained momentum. New movements for urban sustainability tend to focus on the socio-spatial benefits and try to improve and activate the public realm by fostering socially innovative cultural practices as strategies for urban regeneration to create open, accessible, engaging public spaces for collective uses and cultural production. In many European cities, local authorities, civil representatives and citizens are experimenting with cultural production in the public sphere, driven by co-creation and governed collaboratively. As the public, private, and citizen spheres become more interlinked, the governments and urban and cultural actors are mobilising large networks to support organisations, collectives, grassroots movements, innovation labs, cultural innovators, and community representatives of marginalised groups to co-create and co-govern the city. This thesis investigates the different mobilisations of socially innovative governance arrangements for cultural practices that enhance urban sustainability and how these governance arrangements are being organised. To this aim, cultural governance forms the theoretical underpinning and several cultural practices in Berlin are analysed. Analysis of documents and semi-structured interviews were conducted, providing comprehensive results.  Findings revealed the various interactions between actors and sectors, the motivation and context behind the practices, and the kind of sustainable cultural practice they want to pursue. A dynamic range of mobilisations can be found within Berlin, where some were driven by activism or solidarity, and others were self-driven. Some were top-down arrangements, some self-organised, and others were bottom-up or grassroots which the government later adopted. Irrespective of how and why they were initiated, they are all underpinned by the aim of collaboration- both as co-production of the cultural practices and the governance of such practices. Furthermore, several common themes concerning cultural governance, such as the central role of the government, multiscalar collaborations, networks, and the cultural discourse, emerged as key aspects to consider for mobilisations for cultural governance.  Furthermore, the investigation also presents key aspects to consider when mobilising cultural practices. Finally, the authors call for further research and empirical evidence regarding the different aspects of CG to further its theoretical and practical advancements in cultural governance.

Being On the Right Side Corporate Social Responsibility Implementation in Large Firms –A Study within IKEA

Kazerooni, Gisoo January 2015 (has links)
Accounting for the environmental and social impacts produced by the business or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has arguably been one of the main topics and requisites within urban sustainability. Large companies having more impacts on the environment and the society due to amongst others the more diverse background of stakeholders and the more use of resources are more in the spotlight to implement CSR in their business. Companies which carelessly aim mainly for profitability and give less care to the environment are more and more proving to loose sustainability in their lifeline (Waldman, Kenett, & Zilberg, n.d.).This paper, using IKEA as a case study, has demonstrated the importance of CSR in larger firms. It has well demonstrated how and why large firms engage in CSR activities and how it could further enhance these activities in the upcoming demanding future. This has been done by presenting three theories, CSR communication, proactive and reactive CSR and motives for CSR. These theories principally show the effectiveness of CSR communication and a framework for successful internal and external communication; the difference and benefits of proactive and reactive CSR and which is more desirable; and finally the motives companies have to engage in both reactive and proactive CSR activities. With the help of these theories in the analysis section, this paper demonstrates how IKEA has used CSR in its framework to rebuild its reputation and how it has improved its sustainability by using proactive CSR strategies. The study further demonstrates how IKEA has proven that they are caring in gaining a sustainable future and presents some thoughts for further studies and practices.

Diretrizes para projetos de loteamentos urbanos considerando os métodos de avaliação ambiental. / Project guidelines for urban settlements considering environmental assessment methods.

Negreiros, Iara 08 April 2009 (has links)
A exemplo dos diversos métodos desenvolvidos mundialmente para avaliação de sustentabilidade no âmbito do edifício isolado e seus sistemas constituintes, surgem no horizonte novos sistemas de avaliação que consideram: o entorno, a vizinhança, o loteamento como um todo, enfatizando aspectos de desenvolvimento sustentável combinados às práticas dos chamados edifícios verdes, tais como o Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Developments Rating System (LEED-ND), desenvolvido nos Estados Unidos; o Approche Environnementale de lUrbanisme (AEU), desenvolvido na França; o Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Report Guidelines, desenvolvido pela ONU; entre outros. Enquanto aumenta a legitimidade do paradigma da sustentabilidade e sua pertinência para lidar com a especificidade do urbano, cresce a necessidade de selecionar critérios, estratégias e indicadores mensuráveis para ancorar a formulação, monitorar a implementação e avaliar os resultados das políticas urbanas em bases sustentáveis, de acordo com as diretrizes propostas pelas Agendas 21 Global e Brasileira. Por outro lado, o crescimento urbano das últimas décadas tem ocorrido de forma dispersa, por processos de deslocamento de atividades tipicamente urbanas para o campo, observado pela disposição das manchas urbanas nas imagens de satélites, que se dispõem como uma série de polos urbanos separados por vazios rurais. Inserido neste contexto da chamada urbanização dispersa, o parcelamento do solo através de loteamentos é uma das tipologias de expansão da área urbana que acarretará em significativas implicações na paisagem e, consequentemente, na atividade de gestão e planejamento urbanos. Portanto, com o objetivo geral de identificar, analisar e recomendar diretrizes para projetos de loteamentos urbanos, esta pesquisa realiza uma análise crítica qualitativa e comparativa dos diversos métodos de avaliação ambiental existentes nacional e internacionalmente, através de estudo de caso em um loteamento residencial, o Projeto Gênesis, em Santana do Parnaíba, município da Grande São Paulo. O resultado é um conjunto de diretrizes para auxiliar o processo de projeto de loteamentos urbanos considerando os requisitos e critérios dos métodos, contribuindo também para o aperfeiçoamento da legislação urbanística por parte dos agentes do poder público. / As many world-wide developed assessment methods for sustanability of isolated buildings and their constituting systems performance, new environmental assessment systems have recently been proposed, taking into account neighborhood, land sub-division and urbanistic issues. They integrate principles of smart growth, sustainable development and green building, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Neighborhood Developments Rating System (LEED-ND), developed in the United States; Approche Environnementale de l\'Urbanisme (AEU), developed in France; Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Report Guidelines, developed by United Nations; and many others. With new sustainability paradigms and difficulties on dealing specifically with sustainable cities grows, there are needs on selecting criteria, strategies and measurable indicators in order to anchoring formulation, controlling implementation and evaluating results of the urban policies in sustainable basis, according to the proposed guidelines of Global and Brazilian Agendas 21. However, in the last decades, the urban growth has happened in a dispersed form, by displacement process of typically urban activities for the rural areas, observed by the urban spots disposal in satellites images, as many urban polar regions separated by rural or open lands. Inserted in this context called \"diffuse urbanization\", the land sub-division by plotting is a model of urban growth that would cause significative impacts in landscape and ecology and, consequently, in the activities of urban planning. Therefore, with the general purpose of identifying, analyzing and recommending guidelines, this paper brings qualitative and comparative critical analysis of the many locally and internationally environmental assessment methods for urban plotting, through a case study methodology for a residential plotting, the Gênesis Project, in Santana do Parnaíba, municipality of São Paulo metropolitan region. The results are a set of guidelines, that considers the requisites and criteria of each method, in order to help designers in urban plotting project process and to contribute the improvement of urban legislation by public agents.

Canteiro central da avenida Teotônio Segurado: área verde ou eixo viário para transporte coletivo? Uma problemática ambiental urbana

Cunha, Juliana Fernandes 14 September 2018 (has links)
Analisar a proposta de implantação do sistema de transporte coletivo denominado Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), no canteiro central da Av. Teotônio Segurado, considerando sua função atual como área verde para a cidade de Palmas - TO foi o objetivo geral desse estudo. Para isso, foi feita a apresentação e análise dos indicadores existentes sobre mobilidade urbana e áreas verdes para a cidade de Palmas - TO; a observação e compreensão da percepção da população sobre a mobilidade urbana e áreas verdes na cidade de Palmas – TO; a análise dos indicadores de mobilidade apresentados no Plano de Ação Palmas Sustentável para o projeto do BRT Palmas; a análise do projeto de BRT proposto para o canteiro central da AV. Teotônio Segurado em Palmas – TO; a verificação das temperaturas do ar e do piso no canteiro central da AV. Teotônio Segurado proporcionado pelo sombreamento da arborização existente. Para se alcançar os objetivos propostos, além da pesquisa de campo, a análise documental foi utilizada e foram consultados e analisados artigos, dissertações e teses, além do Projeto da Capital do Tocantins, legislações, Diagnóstico e Plano de Arborização de Palmas - TO, Plano de Ação Palmas Sustentável, Plano do BRT Palmas, entre outros. A pesquisa concluiu que a arborização existente nesse local é de suma importância para a cidade, uma vez que ocorrem diferenças de quase 2ºC nas temperaturas do ar e de até 20ºC nas temperaturas do piso entre as áreas analisadas com arborização e sem arborização. Além disso, dados estatísticos essenciais para a implantação do BRT não foram divulgados pela prefeitura, como demanda diária de passageiros ou pesquisa de origem/destino. Levantando-se a questão sobre a implantação de um sistema de mobilidade urbana de transporte coletivo, justamente, nesse canteiro central da Av. Teotônio Segurado, onde ocorrem maciços arbóreos consolidados. / An analysis of the proposal for the implementation of a public transportation system called Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) at Teotônio Segurado Avenue's central reservation, considering its current function as a green area for the city of Palmas - TO, was the main objective of this study. For that, it was made: a presentation and analysis of the existing indicators about urban mobility and green areas for the city of Palmas - TO; an observation and comprehensive perception of the population about urban mobility and green areas in the city of Palmas - TO; an analysis of the indicators for urban mobility presented at the Sustainable Action Plan for Palmas (Plano de Ação Palmas Sustentável) in the project for the Palmas BRT; an analysis of the BRT project proposed for the Teotônio Segurado Avenue's median strip in Palmas - TO; a verification of the air and floor temperatures at Teotônio Segurado Avenue's median strip, in relation to the shade from the area's trees. In order to achieve the desired goals, aside from field research, a documental analysis was used, as well as articles, dissertations and theses, in addition to the Project for the Tocantins Capital City (Projeto da Capital do Tocantins), legislations, Diagnostic and Afforestation Plan for Palmas – TO (Diagnóstico e Plano de Arborização de Palmas - TO), Sustainable Action Plan for Palmas, Palmas BRT Plan, among others. The research concluded that the existing forestation at this site is of extreme importance for the city, due to a difference of almost 2ºC in the air temperatures and of up to 20ºC in the floor temperatures with and without afforestation. Furthermore, essential statistic data for the implementation of the BRT were not disclosed by the Mayor's Office, such as daily passenger demand, or start point/destination of the trips. The question about the implementation of an urban mobility public transportation system is raised, in fact, at the Teotônio Segurado Avenue's central reservation, where there are consolidated massive tree structures.

Throughout the history of the development of cities, the urban environment, which includes multiple dimensions, covering all buildings, infrastructure, the daily life of different social groups, the legal standards and environmental issues, was and still is deeply transformed by the expansion urban. Inserted in the urban environment, are densely urbanized watersheds, which are scored by urban development based on soil sealing, grounding wetlands and plumbing of the river system for deploying road system, is historically associated with different access to housing and the city, with large populations in environmentally sensitive areas, which have suffered from exposure to environmental hazards (erosion, landslide, floods). The study area is shelter to all these features of urban development, identified primarily by the occupation of environmentally sensitive areas and the presence of affordable housing. In this context, based on studies that have focused on the analysis and development of proposals based on watershed as the unit of analysis and management, a methodology was developed for rapid analysis and visual indicators sustained in easy lifting. The methodology searches to make possible the reward of the area, which involves an integrated analysis, differentiating the channel tracks along the river. After this recognition can check the conditions of existing sustainability and identify the effects of public politics developed in the catchment area, as well as assist in the creation of new public politics, providing grants to researchers and planners of urban space. / A rela??o existente entre o homem e o meio ambiente, principalmente nos pa?ses do capitalismo perif?rico, ? caracterizada por conflitos relacionados ? desigualdade s?cioespacial, exposi??o a riscos e vulnerabilidades.

O pagamento por serviços ecossistêmicos como instrumento de gestão ambiental para o espaço urbano / Payment for Ecosystem Services as an environmental management tool for urban space.

Tolffo, Fernando Antonio 14 October 2015 (has links)
Por suas dinâmicas sociais e territoriais complexas, as metrópoles estão sujeitas aos graves impactos causados por eventos climáticos extremos, reais ou esperados. Organismos internacionais multilaterais e extensa literatura acadêmica avalizam a importância do papel dos ecossistemas para a redução dos riscos e na mitigação das consequências dos desastres ambientais, tanto em áreas rurais como urbanas. Propõe-se a valoração das áreas verdes livres e dos parques urbanos como recurso que integre estratégias para o desenvolvimento da qualidade ambiental das cidades através dos serviços ecossistêmicos derivados da cobertura arbórea local, divisando-se a manutenção da saúde pública em um meio ambientalmente equilibrado. Foi aplicada ferramenta tecnológica representada pelo software i-Tree como método empregado para a identificação, quantificação e estimativas de valoração econômica dos serviços ecossistêmicos prestados pelas árvores contidas no Parque Ibirapuera, em São Paulo, que serviu como referência. É discutida a significância da inserção dos princípios e objetivos do instrumento do Pagamento por Serviços Ecossistêmicos no planejamento, ordenamento e gestão urbanos, integrando-o a políticas de melhoria da saúde ambiental nas cidades. / For their complex social and territorial dynamics, the cities are subject to the severe impacts of extreme weather events, actual or expected. Multilateral international organizations and extensive academic literature endorse the important role of ecosystems to reduce risks and mitigate the consequences of environmental disasters, both rural and urban areas. It is proposed to valuation the green areas and urban parks as a resource that integrates strategies for the development of environmental quality in cities through the ecosystem services derived from local tree cover, for the purpose of maintenance of public health. Was applied technological tool represented by i-Tree software as a method used to identify, quantify and estimate the economic value of ecosystem services provided by trees contained in Ibirapuera Park, in São Paulo, which served as a reference. Discussed the relevance of the integration of the principles and objectives of the instrument Payment for Ecosystem Services in urban planning and management, integrating it in policies to improve environmental health in cities.
