The 8th International Conference on Sustainable Development and
Planning is part of a series of biennial conferences on the topic
of sustainable regional development which began in Greece in 2003.
The papers included in these proceedings report on the latest
advances from scientists specialising in the range of subjects
included within sustainable development and planning.Planners,
environmentalists, architects, engineers, policy makers and
economists have to work together in order to ensure that planning
and development can meet our present needs without comprising the
ability of future generations.The use of modern technologies in
planning gives us new potential to monitor and prevent
environmental degradation. Problems related to development and
planning, which affect both rural and urban areas, are present in
all regions of the world and accelerated urbanisation has resulted
in both the deterioration of the environment and quality of life.
Urban development can also intensify problems faced by rural areas
such as forests, mountain regions and coastal areas, which urgently
require solutions in order to avoid irreversible damage. The papers
in the book cover the following topics: City Planning; Urban
Strategies; Sustainability and the Built Environment; Regional
Planning; Environmental Planning and Management; Costal Regions;
Sustainable Solutions in Emerging Countries; Policies and Planning;
Socio Economic Issues; Community Planning; Culture and Heritage;
Energy Resources; Transportation; Mobility and Urban Space; Air
Quality; Water Management; Waste Water.
Energy and Sustainability V is the proceedings of the 5th
International Conference on Energy and Sustainability, held by the
Wessex Institute of Technology. The modern world is highly
dependent on the exploitation of fossil fuels. More recently,
resources depletion and severe environmental effects deriving from
the continuous use of these fuels has resulted in an increasing
amount of interest in renewable energy resources and the search for
sustainable energy policies. The changes required to progress from
an economy mainly based on hydrocarbons to one taking advantage of
sustainable energy resources are massive and require considerable
scientific research as well as engineering systems. The effect also
involves collaboration between different disciplines in order to
arrive at optimum solutions, including buildings, energy networks,
convenience systems, new energy storage solutions, waste to energy
technologies, and many others. This book covers topics related to
sustainability in energy and power production, storage,
distribution and management.These include: Energy Policies;
Renewable Energy Resources; Sustainable Energy Production;
Environmental Risk Management; Green Buildings; Energy Storage;
Biofuels; Processing of Oil and Gas; Drilling and Well Design; CO2
Capture and Management; Pipelines; Energy Efficiency; Energy from
Waste; Energy and Transportation.
