Green Development : Environment and Sustainability in a Developing World
The concept of sustainability lies at the core of the challenge of environment and development, and the way governments, business and environmental groups respond to it.Green Development provides a clear and coherent analysis of sustainable development in both theory and practice.Green Development explores the origins and evolution of mainstream thinking about sustainable development and offers a critique of the ideas behind them.It draws a link between theory and practice by discussing the nature of the environmental degradation and the impacts of development.It argues that, ultimately, ‘green’ development has to be about political economy, about the distribution of power, and not about environmental quality.Its focus is strongly on the developing world. The fourth edition retains the broad structure of previous editions, but has been updated to reflect advances in ideas and changes in international policy.Greater attention has been given to the political ecology of development, market-based and neoliberal environmentalism, and degrowth.This fully revised edition discusses: the origins of thinking about sustainability and sustainable development, and its evolution to the present day; the ideas that dominate mainstream sustainable development (including natural capital, the green economy, market environmentalism and ecological modernisation); critiques of mainstream ideas and of neoliberal framings of sustainability, and alternative ideas about sustainability that challenge ‘business as usual’ thinking, such as arguments about limits to growth and calls for degrowth; the dilemmas of sustainability in the context of forests, desertification, food and farming, biodiversity conservation and dam construction; the challenge of policy choices about sustainability, particularly between reformist and radical responses to the contemporary global dilemmas. Green Development offers clear insights into the challenges of environmental sustainability, and social and economic development.It is unique in offering a synthesis of theoretical ideas on sustainability and in its coverage of the extensive literature on environment and development around the world.The book has proved its value to generations of students as an authoritative, thought-provoking and readable guide to the field of sustainable development.

Regreening the Built Environment : Nature, Green Space, and Sustainability
Now in its second volume, Regreening the Built Environment provides an overview of physical and social environmental challenges that the planet is facing and presents solutions that restore ecological processes, reclaim open space, foster social equity, and facilitate a green economy. Healing the planet requires a combination of strategies networked across multiple scales of development, including buildings, sites, communities, and regions.Case studies from a range of locations in the United States, Denmark, Vietnam, Germany, South Korea, Switzerland, France, and the United Kingdom, among others, demonstrate how existing gray infrastructure can be retrofitted with green infrastructure and low-impact development techniques.From this, the author shows how a building can be designed that creates greenspace or generates energy; likewise, a roadway can be a parkway, an alley can be a wildlife corridor, and a parking surface can be a garden.This new edition also includes case studies that have successfully reconnected communities that were fragmented by unjust planning practices and irresponsible patterns of development, resilient design solutions in response to natural disasters, passive design strategies that can make interior spaces more efficient and healthier, and expanded discussions on capturing carbon, renewable energy, agriculture, waste, public transit, and adaptive reuse, including innovative ideas on how to reimagine the shopping mall in the era of e-commerce. The strategies presented in this book will stimulate discussions within the design profession and will be of great interest to students and practitioners of environmental studies, architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design.

Do houseflies sleep?
Yes, houseflies do sleep. They have periods of rest where they become inactive and their metabolism slows down. However, their sleep patterns are different from mammals as they do not have a centralized brain to regulate sleep. Instead, houseflies have periods of rest throughout the day and night, often taking short naps.
-
Are houseflies intelligent?
Houseflies are not considered to be intelligent in the traditional sense. They have a very simple nervous system and do not possess the cognitive abilities or problem-solving skills that are typically associated with intelligence. However, they do have certain behaviors that demonstrate a level of adaptability and learning, such as avoiding swatting attempts and finding food sources. Overall, while houseflies may exhibit some level of behavioral flexibility, they are not considered to be intelligent in the same way that more complex animals are.
-
Why do houseflies bite?
Houseflies bite because they are attracted to the scent of food, sweat, and other bodily secretions. They have mouthparts that are designed for sponging up liquids, but they can also use them to bite and feed on human and animal blood. Female houseflies may bite in order to obtain the nutrients they need to produce eggs. Additionally, houseflies can transmit diseases and parasites through their bites, making them a nuisance and potential health hazard.
-
Why are houseflies useful?
Houseflies are useful because they serve as decomposers, helping to break down and recycle organic matter such as dead animals, feces, and other waste. They also play a role in the food chain, serving as a food source for other animals such as birds and spiders. Additionally, houseflies are important pollinators for certain plants. Despite being considered pests in some situations, houseflies do serve important ecological functions in the environment.

Evaluation of the Built Environment for Sustainability
Sustainability in the built environment is a major issue facing policy-makers, planners, developers and designers in the UK, Europe and worldwide.The measuring of buildings and cities for sustainability becomes increasingly important as pressure for green, sustainable development translates into policy and legislation.The problems of such measurement and evaluation are presented by the authors in contributions which move from the general to the particular, e.g. from a general framework for an environmentally sustainable form of urban development to a specific input-output model application to environmental problems.The book is divided into three parts: the first covers city models and sustainable systems - research programmes, environmental policies, green corporations and collaborative strategies to make urban development more sustainable; part two discusses the problems of evaluating the built environment in planning and construction, covering economic and environmental methods and construction, development and regeneration processes; part three illustrates a number of applications using different approaches and techniques and referring to a range of environmental aspects of the natural and built environment, from maintaining historic buildings to transport management and air pollution monitoring.

What do flies and houseflies eat?
Flies and houseflies are known to be scavengers and feed on a variety of organic matter such as decaying food, animal feces, and garbage. They are also attracted to sugary substances like fruits, nectar, and sweet beverages. Additionally, flies may also feed on other insects or carrion. Overall, flies have a diverse diet that includes both plant and animal matter.
-
How long do houseflies survive without water?
Houseflies can survive for about 7-14 days without water, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. They are able to extract moisture from their food sources, which helps them survive for extended periods without access to water. However, access to water is essential for their overall health and longevity.
-
Do normal houseflies also get attracted to juice?
Yes, normal houseflies are attracted to juice because of its sweet and fruity scent. The sugar content in the juice is what attracts the flies, as they are drawn to sugary substances for feeding and breeding. Therefore, leaving open containers of juice can attract houseflies into your home.
-
How can one recognize the gender of houseflies?
Male houseflies can be recognized by their separated eyes, which are positioned further apart than those of female houseflies. Additionally, male houseflies have a slightly more rounded abdomen, while female houseflies have a more pointed abdomen. These physical differences can help in distinguishing the gender of houseflies.
