The role of Cities in driving global economies has been well covered, and their impact on the larger ecosystem is well documented. Resilient and Sustainable Cities: Research, Policy and Practice explores how cities can be transformed into sustainable fabrics, while leading to positive socio-economic change.

The topics include urban policy and covers the challenges cities experienced during the pandemic and resulting urban responses from federal, state, and local levels. This includes a transdisciplinary perspective dwelling on the city narrative, including Resources, Economics, Politics, and others.

Resilient and Sustainable Cities serves as a valuable resource for leaders and practitioners working in Urban Policy and academia, as well as students in urban planning, architecture, and policy undergraduate and graduate level programs.

Explores the impacts of COVID-19 on cities and its socio-economic impacts Provides regenerative avenues for cities in a post-pandemic context Introduces the concept of the "15-Minute City" Underlines urban regenerative avenues, including financing needs, for cities in the global south

In this Tract Professor Moreno develops the theory of algebraic curves over finite fields, their zeta and L-functions, and, for the first time, the theory of algebraic geometric Goppa codes on algebraic curves. Amongst the applications considered are: the problem of counting the number of solutions of equations over finite fields; Bombieri's proof of the Reimann hypothesis for function fields, with consequences for the estimation of exponential sums in one variable; Goppa's theory of error-correcting codes constructed from linear systems on algebraic curves. There is also a new proof of the Tsfasman-Vladut-Zink theorem. The prerequisites needed to follow this book are few, and it can be used for graduate courses for mathematics students. Electrical engineers who need to understand the modern developments in the theory of error-correcting codes will also benefit from studying this work.

Since the pioneering work of Euler, Dirichlet, and Riemann, the analytic properties of L-functions have been used to study the distribution of prime numbers. With the advent of the Langlands Program, L-functions have assumed a greater role in the study of the interplay between Diophantine questions about primes and representation theoretic properties of Galois representations. This book provides a complete introduction to the most significant class of L-functions: the Artin-Hecke L-functions associated to finite-dimensional representations of Weil groups and to automorphic L-functions of principal type on the general linear group. In addition to establishing functional equations, growth estimates, and non-vanishing theorems, a thorough presentation of the explicit formulas of Riemann type in the context of Artin-Hecke and automorphic L-functions is also given. The survey is aimed at mathematicians and graduate students who want to learn about the modern analytic theory of L-functions and their applications in number theory and in the theory of automorphic representations.The requirements for a profitable study of this monograph are a knowledge of basic number theory and the rudiments of abstract harmonic analysis on locally compact abelian groups.

A fresh and innovative perspective on urban issues and creating sustainable citiesIn The 15-Minute City: A Solution for Saving Our Time and Our Planet, human city pioneer and international scientific advisor Carlos Moreno delivers an exciting and insightful discussion of the deceptively simple and revolutionary idea that everyday destinations like schools, stores, and offices should only be a short walk or bike ride away from home.This book tells the story of an idea that spread from city to city, describing a new way of looking at living that addresses many of the most intractable challenges of our time. Hundreds of mayors worldwide have already embraced the concept as a way to help recover from the pandemic, and the idea continues to gain speed. You'll learn why more and more cities are planning to make cars far less necessary for contemporary city-dwellers and how they're planning to achieve that goal. You'll also find: Strategies for cities to recover and adapt to benefit residents, saving them precious timeTechniques to change the habits of automobile-dependent city residents and maximize social benefits of living in a human-centric cityScientifically developed, research-backed solutions for enduring urban issues and problems Deeply committed to science, progress, and creativity, Moreno presents an essential and timely resource in The 15-Minute City, which will prove invaluable to anyone with an interest in modern and innovative approaches to consistently challenging urban issues that have bedeviled policy makers and city residents since the invention of the car.

Erstmals liegt das Konzept zur 15-Minuten-Stadt auf Deutsch vor!»Die 15-Minuten-Stadt ist ein pragmatischer Ansatz, um die nachhaltige Stadt von morgen zu entwickeln. Sie ist Ausdruck einer neuen Urbanität, die auf Fußläufigkeit und kurze Wege, auf eine menschengerechte Verteilung des Straßenraums, auf ein Umdenken in täglichen Abläufen zur Verringerung des CO2-Ausstoßes in unseren Metropolen setzt, die Artenvielfalt schützt und den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt stärkt. Sie wird nicht nur das Problem der Dauerstaus und Verkehrsinfarkte lösen, sondern verspricht auch ein urbanes Leben, das stärker im Einklang mit Natur und Umwelt steht und klimagerecht ist.« Carlos Moreno»Die 15-Minuten-Stadt ist die Stadt der Nähe, in der man alles, was man braucht, innerhalb von 15 Minuten von zu Hause aus erreicht. Sie ist die Voraussetzung für die ökologische Transformation der Stadt und verbessert gleichzeitig das tägliche Leben der Pariser*innen.« Anne Hidalgo, Bürgermeisterin von Paris

En el complejo y vibrante laboratorio a cielo abierto de nuestros espacios urbanos, donde se manifiestan nuestras contradicciones y se experimentan los cambios en los hábitos y modos de vida, se concentran también los grandes retos del desarrollo de la humanidad. Ante el triple desafío ecológico, económico y social al que nos enfrentamos, Carlos Moreno propone replantear la ciudad a partir del uso, la proximidad y la supresión de los desplazamientos. Lo que ha denominado «la ciudad de los quince minutos» supone otro modo de vivir, de consumir, de trabajar, de estar en la ciudad; implica repensar el modo de desplazarse, de recorrer el espacio, de explorarlo, de descubrirlo.La ciudad de los quince minutos busca recuperar el carácter multipolar de las urbes, acercar los servicios a la gente, dar más importancia a lo local, recuperar los vínculos de vecindad, salir del estatus social impuesto por el mundo del trabajo y guardar las distancias con esa ciudad entregada a los coches para recuperar el amor por los lugares. La ciudad multicéntrica está ahí para dinamitar todo eso: para recuperar el carácter particular y el espíritu de cada ciudad y ofrecer la ocasión de retomar el control del tiempo de nuestra vida.

Prepárate para viajar a la conciencia, al destino que tenemos reservado como humanidad. Bienvenido a la nueva entrega de Quasar, colección de relatos de ciencia ficción que ya tiene su sitio entre los aficionados del género.Relatos y autores para Quasar 3===============================Ulises de Alberto GonzálezNuevo titán Beta 4 de Álvaro LópezHasta aquí pesan tus besos de Carlos M.
