There has been a profound change within the sphere of government and societal regulation in recent years. Traditional hierarchical government has been challenged by new governance instruments relying on negotiations instead of command and control. Alongside this development there has been a change in the time-framing of politics and steering. Traditional politics implicitly has been based on stability and permanence while new forms of governance explicitly are based on just-in-time actions such as projects and issue-based collaborations in networks and programs. This book analyses the implications of this shortening of time frames, focusing particularly on spatial policy interventions. Spatial policies have a special relevance when it comes to governance and new forms of societal steering. On the one hand, the local (geographical) level in politics is the principal battleground for the struggle between top down and bottom up approaches and aspirations. On the other hand, many of the most burning issues of our time require a global, strategic approach, for example, climate change, resource depletion, population growth are anchored in space and the physical world. Whether and how short-term spatial approaches can achieve sustainable development outcomes is thus a critical question, and forms the focus of this volume. The book examines the characteristics of temporary policy measures across a range of rural, urban and regional contexts, in four continents: Europe, North America, Oceania and Africa. The outcomes and effects of these policies and interventions are analysed, particularly focusing on the tension between short-term interventions and long-term effects.

Rural–Urban Water Struggles compiles diverse analyses of rural–urban water connections, discourses, identities and struggles evolving in the context of urbanization around the world. Departing from an understanding of urbanization as a process of constant making and remaking of multi-scalar territorial interactions that extend beyond traditional city boundaries and that deeply reconfigure rural–urban hydrosocial territories and interlinkages, the chapters demonstrate the need to reconsider and trouble the rural–urban dichotomy. The contributors scrutinize how existing approaches for securing urban water supply – ranging from water transfers to payments for ecosystem services – all rely on a myriad of techniques: they are produced by, and embedded in, specific institutional and legal arrangements, actor alliances, discourses, interests and technologies entwining local, regional and global scales. The different chapters show the need to better understand on-the-ground realities, taking account of inequalities in water access and control, as well as representation and cultural-political recognition among rural and urban subjects. Rural–Urban Water Struggles will be of great use to scholars of water governance and justice, environmental justice and political ecology. This book was originally published as a special issue of Water International.

In the face of megatrends such as globalisation, climate and demographic change, digitalisation and urbanisation, many cities and regions are grappling with critical challenges to preserve social inclusion, foster economic growth and transition to the low carbon economy. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set the global agenda for the coming decade to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. A Territorial Approach to the Sustainable Development Goals argues that cities and regions play a critical role in this paradigm shift and need to embrace the full potential of the SDGs as a policy tool to improve people's lives. The report estimates that at least 105 of the 169 SDG targets will not be reached without proper engagement of sub-national governments. It analyses how cities and regions are increasingly using the SDGs to design and implement their strategies, policies and plans; promote synergies across sectoral domains; and engage stakeholders in policy making. The report proposes an OECD localised indicator framework that measures the distance towards the SDGs for more than 600 regions and 600 cities in OECD and partner countries. The report concludes with a Checklist for Public Action to help policy makers implement a territorial approach to the SDGs.

Alors que, plus encore que celui des sociétés industrielles, l'avenir des sociétés de services paraît se jouer dans la centralité des grandes agglomérations et dans leur proximité immédiate, pourquoi s'intéresser aujourd'hui aux campagnes marquées par la faible densité de leur peuplement ? C'est que celles-ci ne peuvent plus être considérées comme le négatif déprimé de celles-là. Participant de la modernité sociale, la rareté des hommes, notion relative qu'il convient d'analyser, en fait des espaces maintenant désirés, arpentés, appropriés aussi par les citadins et pour lesquels s'impose la mise en oeuvre de politiques publiques spécifiques. Ce sont quelques-uns des thèmes qui sont discutés dans cet ouvrage, fruit d'un colloque de géographes français et espagnols spécialisés dans l'analyse des campagnes. Organisé à l'initiative du laboratoire toulousain « Dynamiques rurales », il s'est tenu à Foix, en Ariège, au sein d'un territoire justement emblématique de tous les atouts et contradictions liés à la faible densité.

Les domaines de la santé et de l’environnement ont longtemps été considérés, tant par les décideurs que par les scientifiques, comme des réalités disjointes. Il a fallu attendre les dernières décennies pour que soit reconnu et que se concrétise le lien entre environnements et santé avec la création d’agences spécialisées. Qu’il s’agisse de foyers de maladies parasitaires ou de pollution atmosphérique, les situations d’exposition à un risque sanitaire lié à l’environnement relèvent de facteurs particuliers : épidémiologiques, géographiques, politiques, et bien évidemment sociaux. À partir de zones géographiques situées tant au Sud qu’au Nord, les auteurs de cet ouvrage présentent un large éventail de configurations dans lesquelles s’exprime la complexité des relations entre santé et environnements dans leur rapport avec les groupes humains. Ils mettent l’accent sur l’importance de la perception et de la pratique des acteurs (des décideurs aux bénéficiaires des mesures, en passant par les médecins) pour penser le risque sanitaire selon les milieux. Ils soulignent tout l’intérêt de l’apport des sciences sociales et des pratiques interdisciplinaires dès lors qu’il s’agit d’envisager les relations entre un pathogène et l’homme. Chacune des approches s’attache ainsi à éclairer les différentes facettes du risque environnemental, depuis le comportement des individus jusqu’aux politiques nationales, en invitant le lecteur à se départir de toute vision déterministe et simplificatrice.

"The migration of labor from rural to urban areas is an important part of the urbanization process in developing countries. Even though it has been the focus of abundant research over the past five decades, some key policy questions have not found clear answers yet. To what extent is internal migration a desirable phenomenon and under what circumstances? Should governments intervene and, if so, with what types of interventions? What should be their policy objectives? To shed light on these important issues, the authors survey the existing theoretical models and their conflicting policy implications and discuss the policies that may be justified based on recent relevant empirical studies. A key limitation is that much of the empirical literature does not provide structural tests of the theoretical models, but only provides partial findings that can support or invalidate intuitions and in that sense, support or invalidate the policy implications of the models. The authors' broad assessment of the literature is that migration can be beneficial or at least be turned into a beneficial phenomenon so that in general migration restrictions are not desirable. They also identify some data issues and research topics which merit further investigation. "--World Bank web site.
