Organising large scale green covered roofs
No full textLast two decades the use of plants on rooftops has grown fast. Municipalities use different arguments to initiate policies for large-scale programs for green roofs. However, there is an intriguing intertwining of two scales: building and city. To accelerate policy execution the scales should be combined, but they are not. The stakeholders, not accustomed to collaboration in this new context, keep their natural roles in their traditional organisational patterns. New patterns and new collaborations have to be established soon to speed up the process of change. This paper shows the arguments for mitigation and adaptation approaches on the scale of buildings and cities, from the point of cost and benefits for the major stakeholders. Calculations of municipalities showed that benefits for private partners, investing in green roofs, are less compared to the public benefits. Private benefits may even be negative, nevertheless the summation of private and public benefits is mostly positive. However, the accountability of calculations is minor. There is no uniform method of calculating or monitoring the effects of green roofs on building or city scale. This calls for change. A classification of uniform methods to calculate and measure effects is needed to enlarge customers confidence in the product and to suppress emerging bureaucracy due to different local approaches of policy making and policy implementation
Or more houses or more woods: A holistic approach to value historic urban green structures
No full textThis paper advocates a renewed attitude towards our urban nature, recognizing its trees as green heritage with the capability to increase the liveability of urban areas (SDG11). Planting trees in the Dutch public space started in the seventeenth century and cities became famous for its green atmosphere (1). In the agricultural landscape, trees were methodically planted on country estates and along infrastructure, connecting the rural landscape with the cities (2).Nowadays, green historic elements are highly values, but doesn't het the same assigned priority as built heritage. The ensuring upcoming public discussion (3) shows a lack of understanding the different values of historic green, especially within the framework of climate change, climate mitigation properties of trees in and around cities and the value for the liveability for communities.This paper describes a new attitude towards valuing historic green structures. Therefore, a model 4) for holistic understanding as simultaneous physical, mental, and social manifestation in the public realm will be described 5). By recognizing these different aspects, historic urban green structures can be understood and discussed as part of green blue systems, perceiving their climatological, ecological, landscape architectural, and culturalhistoric values.Landscape Architectur
Selling Australia as "clean and green"
No full text"Green and clean" has been used as a key marketing tool to promote Australian products overseas. The rationale is that consumers are generally concerned about personal health and the environment and will choose, and pay price premiums, for products that are perceived to be clean (good for them) and green (good for the environment) over alternative products. But is Australia seen as clean and green? Is it really why people buy Australian? This paper attempts to investigate such questionsexport marketing, clean green image, Marketing,
Selling Australia as 'Clean and Green'
No full text'Green and clean' has been used as a key marketing tool to promote Australian products overseas. The rationale is that consumers are generally concerned about personal health and the environment and will choose, and pay price premiums, for products that are, or perceived to be, clean (good for them) and green (good for the environment) over alternative products. But is Australia seen as clean and green? Is it really why people buy Australian products? And how effective is it as a marketing tool? This paper attempts to answer some of these questions. The study found that Australia may have a clean green image at present in some of her overseas markets, but to maintain such an image over time, concrete proof of environmental and quality credentials need to be provided to satisfy increasingly more educated and better-informed consumers. Wide adoption of integrated EMS and QA systems by Australian producers and food companies appears to be a means to establish such credentials and substantiate any 'clean and green' claim. Therefore, government policies should focus more on developing a range of tools to encourage good environmental and quality management practices, rather than on promoting the 'clean and green' image. Such campaigns may be counter-productive in the long run as it leads to complacency, rather than raising environmental and quality awareness.export marketing, clean and green, EMS, QA, Environmental Economics and Policy, International Relations/Trade,
What Does Building Green Mean in Port Cities?
No full textThis article explores the concept of ‘green’ in architecture and urban design through the lens of port cities. Due to global pressures such as climate change, energy transition and soil consumption the planning of port cities requires new scenarios for achieving equilibrium between nature and water systems. Despite the fact that the concept of green is widely shared in both academic and professional fields –who could possibly oppose green?– it can be argued that the concept is also widely misused and misunderstood. This article uses the “Building Green” TU Delft Architecture master’s elective course (academic year 2021/2022) designed and coordinated by Carola Hein as a starting point for a larger discussion of whether the term green is helpful for achieving sustainability in port cities and at what scale. The course analyzes the concept of sustainability through time, arguing that people built green “by necessity” before the industrial revolution and it explores contemporary attempts at building “green by desire”. Finally, it asks for approaches of building “green by design”. The course argues that these diverse approaches to building green and the contemporary needs of sustainability are highly relevant for port cities. It challenges students to analyze a port city in light of its sustainability practices and to develop scenarios for sustainability

Exploring Green Criminology: Toward a Green Criminological Revolution
No full textFew criminologists have drawn attention to the fact that widespread and significant forms of harm such as green or environmental crimes are neglected by criminology. Others have suggested that green crimes present the most important challenge to criminology as a discipline. This book argues that criminology needs to take green harms more seriously and to be revolutionized so that it forms part of the solution to the large environmental problems currently faced across the word. It asks how criminology should be redesigned to consider green/environmental harm as a key area of study in an era where destruction of the earth and the world’s ecosystem is a major concern and examines why this has remained unaccomplished so far.
The chapters in this book apply an environmental frame of reference underlying a green approach to issues which can be addressed from within criminology and which can encourage criminologists and environmentalists to respond and react differently to environmental crime
