From Ecology to Urbanism: Urban Metabolism Genealogies and Perspectives in Urbanism Theory and Practice
No full textAs early as the ‘70s of the last century, the Belgian ecologist Paul Duvigneaud studied Brussels as an ecosystem. His original work combined ecosystem ecology with regionalist and urban planning tradition and it is considered one of the first metabolism studies of real cities. Afterwards, more specialised studies on urban metabolism, both in Brussels and abroad, flowed into industrial ecology, which focuses on the urban energyand material flows, narrowing the interest on the urban space and environment. Driven by the debate on sustainability, more recently, there has been a revival of the concept of urban metabolism in both urbanism theory and practice in Brussels. Nevertheless, it remains to better understand how and to which extent the discipline of urbanism can actually draw from and bring to ecology and urban metabolism studies.This essay/article, firstly, explores the origin, contribution, and legacy of the urban ecosystem and urban metabolism studies by Duvigneaud and the Brussels School. Secondly, it recalls the current resurgence of the concept in recent urbanism debate and highlights some current outstanding issues in Brussels. Finally, it proposes a comparison with the research in North America academic context, in particular around the ‘landscape urbanism’ discourse. Results show that, if the latter seems building on the original contribution of ‘ecology’ to urbanism – namely, the overcoming of traditional dichotomy between urban and rural, city and landscape, etc. – current urban metabolism applications in Brussels, focusing largely on urban flows and impacts, fall short in providing conceptual leap forward the understanding of their spatial organization andecology, and thus overlook the heritage of Duvigneaud and the Brussels School.iiTSEinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
Genealogies of the Ecological Issues in the Italian Discourse on Città Diffusa. Territories and Debates
No full textThe concepts of metabolism, ecosystem, and
circular economy are currently challenging the
discipline of urbanism. As the shift from linear
to circular production-consumption patterns
seems to be ultimate for reducing the externalities
of our urban environments and to meet
stricter environmental targets, the search for
sustainable territorial metabolism has become
imperative for our metropolitan areas.
This publication questions the discipline of urbanism
in relation to the challenge of territorial
metabolism and combines theoretical contributions
with cutting edge design proposals for
European metropolitan regions. It synthetizes
two years of intensive research by design on
Barcelona, Brussels, and Venice Metropolitan
areas conducted jointly by the Laboratory on
Urbanism, Infrastructure and Ecologies of the
Faculty of Architecture of Université libre de
Bruxelles (ULB), the Università IUAV di Venezia
and the Laboratori d’Urbanisme de Barcelona
(ETSAB–UPC) in the framework of an Erasmus+

Des lançados aux expatriés :1 « l’Ethnie2 Blanche »3 entre les fleuves Sénégal et Casamance
No full textThe region located between the Senegal and the Casamance rivers hasa long history of the presence of Western white men. Although thecharacters and situations modeled by the ‘White Ethnic Group’ overtime have been very varied, there are characteristics that are repeated,continuities associated with the ambiguity of social status, genderrelations or economic specializations, on the boundary between both local and global levels. The paper explores the durability of a culturalboundary, suggesting avenues of research from the figure of lançados.The analysis shows indications, repeated parallels between the effects ofvariations in boundary conditions on the collective ‘White’, swaying betweenmaintaining their identity and integrating into indigenous communities.The author believes that a long-term perspective would help understandthe current articulation of contingents of cooperation volunteerswho come to the region, an understanding that could be extrapolated toother areas on the continent

Physical Parameters of the IRC +10216 Circumstellar Envelope: New Constraints from Submillimeter Observations
No full textWe have studied the temperature distribution and other physical properties of the circumstellar envelope of the prototypical high mass-loss carbon star IRC + 10216 by calculating the thermal balance and the radiative transfer in the envelope self-consistently. Cooling is dominated by CO line emission and adiabatic expansion, and heating by dust-gas collisions throughout most of the envelope. Heating by the grain photoelectric effect is important in the outer part of the envelope. The radiative transfer is calculated by using a Monte Carlo method. The mass-loss rate, the CO abundance, the dust-gas momentum transfer efficiency, and the distance to the source are free parameters in our model. These physical parameters are constrained by the comparison of our model results with the observations of various (CO)-C-12 and (CO)-C-13 lines. In particular, recent submillimeter-wavelength observations of moderately high excitation transitions, such as the J = 6 --> 5 line, put very important constraints on the temperature distribution in the inner part of the envelope, and they do not support the presence of very high temperatures (T similar to 500-1000 K) in the inner part of the envelope (at about 5 x 10(15) cm from the central star) suggested by a previous study. We also find that a mass-loss rate of 3.25 x 10(-5) M. yr(-1) and a distance of 150 pc provide the best agreement between our model results and observations.Version of Recor
Revelations about the shape of the city
No full text"Forma urbis: five cities under suspicion", by Josep Parcerisaoffers a retrospective on the recent urban history offive Spanish cities: Malaga, Granada, Tarragona, A Coruñaand Palma de Mallorca. Based on his findings in Trieste,Italy, the author reveals that the general configuration of acity is not necessarily the result of systemic discussions ora master plan. The urban shape is, on the contrary, determinedby the echo of smaller decisions, as specific as thecreation of a new street, a plaza or a building.
A complete set of documents for each of these cities, includingan essential graphic support, gives us the keys fortheir modern construction. Moreover, the book theorizesthat forma urbis is no longer a simplistic interpretation ofan existing city. It has become though a design opportunityfor change, in which how to merge the existing city and thenew city remains the main question.Peer Reviewe
