This book provides a model for the creation of sustainable and healthy cities in the Mediterranean region. It uses the coastal city of L'Alfas del Pi in Spain as an example for designing renewable and innovative urban models that offer high standards of living, wellbeing and eco-friendly advantages. Quantitative and qualitative analyses are presented by scholars in a wide variety of fields to provide a thorough understanding of the social, cultural, economic, political, physical, environmental and public health influences, through the case study of L'Alfas del Pi. L'Alfas del Pi has a geographically unique population made of a mixture of local inhabitants and Northern European residents attracted by the weather conditions and the sea. The chapters in this book explore a series of innovative proposals for addressing concerns in the area, including historic preservation, sustainable transportation, promoting health and physical activity and water conservation. The methodology establishes a strategic approach that serves as a useful reference point for coastal cities, particularly in Mediterranean countries, in the creation of sustainable and healthy cities. This book will appeal to researchers across the disciplines of tourism, planning, health geography, architecture and urban studies.

In Leadership, Diversity, and Social Justice: Culture as a System for Resistance and Emancipation, Antonio Jimenez-Luque thoroughly explores the influence cultural diversity has on conceptualizations and practices of leadership. His text offers new insights on relational and holistic leadership perspectives that go beyond the Euro-American canon and promote greater levels of understanding, participatory processes, and equity. The text examines the challenges of oppression and resistance through a well-crafted case study of leadership in a Native American Indian urban community. The study focuses on the process of collective emancipation and decolonization within a context of coloniality. It sheds light on processes of social change leadership and provides readers with a developmental model of culture change for organizations that can be applied in other contexts. The model consists of four stages beginning with a context of Eurocentric leadership and progressing through a deconstruction and reconstruction phase of worldmaking that combines framing and action to ultimately present a new decolonial approach. Rich with scholarly arguments and case study findings, Leadership, Diversity, and Social Justice is ideal for courses and programs in critical leadership studies, as well as community organizations and institutions that foster a greater understanding among cultures and commitment with social justice. The book is part of the Cognella Series on Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity. The series, co-sponsored by Division 45 of the American Psychological Association, addresses critical and emerging issues within culture, race, and ethnic studies, as well as specific topics among key ethnocultural groups.
