This study aims to develop, a more dynamic and contemporary theory of conservation, using the Mediterranean regions as case-study, and more specifically the Mediterranean Medina or Arab town. The medina, is considered as another step in the larger chain of evolution that the Mediterranean represents. However, traditional preservation practices, have defined it as the last stage for many Mediterranean cities, cutting their possibility for evolution. Orientalist interpretations have simplified these cities as ''Islamic, '' however their fabric contains the stratigraphy of colliding civilizations rather than a single urban historic layer. For this reason preservation policies that argue for freezing the inherited city in time challenge the very essence of this built environment.

The countries of the southern Mediterranean enjoy a rich and diverse cultural heritage. At the heart of this heritage lie the medinas - the historic city centres, often dating back to medieval times. A source of pride and collective belonging, they have nevertheless been subject to neglect and decay under the combined pressures of demographic growth, urbanization and modernization. At present, the historic city centres are in danger of being irreversibly marginalized. Even though the cultural heritage value of these historic city centres is now widely recognized, no coherent restoration policy is being implemented - only a number of historic monuments and prestigious building are being restored or converted into expensive hotels and restaurants. The dilemma between preserving the physical fabric of the medinas and protecting the social context remains unresolved. The Medina brings together a team of experienced professionals, including urban planners, architects, economists, sociologists, financial experts and representatives from international organizations and Mediterranean governments, to address the pressing problem of how to revitalise and restore the medinas in a sustainable way. Arguing for a comprehensive and integrated approach, the authors set out different scenarios for the development of these historic urban centres and strategies for their restoration. The first part of the book provides an introduction to the problems and issues involved in restoration. Importantly it does so against a backdrop of the economic, social and urban development that the countries are predicted to undergo. The second part provides examples of different medinas - including Damascus, Cairo, Meknes, Azzemmour - and presents important material on the financing of such initiatives. It is expected that by 2030 nearly 80 per cent of the inhabitants of the Mediterranean countries will live in towns. This represents an enormous challenge and suggests that the region's social and economic future will largely depend on management of the urban reality. Controlling the development of the heart of the towns and cities, and in particular the medinas, will play a vital role in preserving the cultural and social capital of the Mediterranean countries whilst retaining their considerable potential as attractions. This important and timely book presents a unique and pioneering contribution to realising that aim.

Throughout history, different cultural traditions, all of them with considerable linguistic diversity, have flourished and converged in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern regions. The International Conference of Junior Researchers in Mediterranean and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures provided a transverse and interdisciplinary framework of discussion and reflection on the intellectual and cultural production of the Mediterranean and the Near East, from its earliest stages to the present. This book is the result of the analysis of the different political, religious and social trends of thought, material culture, and artistic, literary and linguistic expressions brought together in this geographical area, highlighting the scope of this blend of traditions within different space-time surroundings.

Con Cartina della Medina di Tripoli Il libro parla di città mediterranea, della composita struttura urbana di Tripoli. Racconta le condizioni di fragilità comuni a tante altre città del mediterraneo. Parla delle strategie di sopravvivenza messe in atto per far fronte a queste condizioni. Parla di contaminazioni, molto evidenti nella vicenda urbana della città libica: contaminazioni di linguaggi, di stili, di gruppi sociali in conflitto fra loro. Tripoli più di altre è stata città degli scambi e della mescolanza e ‘l'inconsueta apertura delle case con balconi e finestre' rivela quanto possa essere stato trasgredito il codice arabo-islamico, pur nel reciproco ‘patto di cooperazione' fra morfologia urbana e tipologia insediativa di cui scrive l'autore. Il libro affronta anche il tema del progetto. La trasformazione della città verso una dimensione metropolitana e globale crea una forte discontinuità con la lenta sedimentazione dei tessuti urbani del passato. Ma al tempo stesso apre alla scala del paesaggio e della geografia. Il grande vuoto del deserto alle spalle ed il mare di fronte ritornano ad essere gli elementi con cui confrontarsi.

This book collects wide-ranging contributions such as case studies, reviews, reports on technological developments, outputs of research/studies, and examples of successful projects, presenting current knowledge and raising awareness to help the agriculture and forestry sectors find solutions for mitigating climate variability and adapting to change. It brings the topic of ecosystem services closer to education and learning, as targeted by the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020. Climate change and its impacts on agriculture and agroforestry have been observed across the world during the last 50 years. Increasing temperatures, droughts, biotic stresses and the impacts of extreme events have continuously decreased agroforestry systems’ resilience to the effects of climate change. As such, there is a need to adapt farming and agroforestry systems so as to make them better able to handle ever-changing climate conditions, and to preserve habitats and ecosystems services.
