Yet, although its cities are, on average, more productive than those elsewhere in the world, their productivity lags that of North American and Western European cities. Closing this gap provides LAC with the opportunity to raise living standards and join the ranks of the world's richest countries.Raising the Bar: Cities and Productivity in Latin America and the Caribbean is about the productivity of cities in LAC and the factors that help to explain its determination. Based on original empirical research, the report documents the high levels of population density and other features of LAC cities that mark them out from those in the rest of the world. The report also studies the role of three key factors - urban form, skills, and access to markets - in determining the productivity of LAC cities. It shows that while excessive congestion forces and inadequate metropolitan coordination seem to be stifling the benefits of agglomeration, LAC cities benefit from strong human capital externalities. It also finds that, within individual LAC countries, cities are poorly integrated with one another, which contributes to large differences in performance across cities and undermines their aggregate contribution to productivity at the national level.World Bank e-Library.Cities and townsLatin AmericaCaribbean AreafastLatin AmericafastCities and towns307.76098Ferreyra Maria1519201Roberts MarkFerreyra Maria MartaDJBFDJBFBOOK9910796952203321Raising the Bar for Productive Cities in Latin America and the Caribbean3757179UNINA03665nam 22005535 450 991030063310332120230810195016.09783319985930331998593010.1007/978-3-319-98593-0(CKB)4100000006674615(MiAaPQ)EBC5528886(DE-He213)978-3-319-98593-0(Perlego)3485806(EXLCZ)99410000000667461520180927d2018 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAnimal Rights Education /by Kai Horsthemke1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2018.1 online resource (364 pages)The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series,2634-66809783319985923 3319985922 Part I: Animals and morality -- Chapter 1.

Change, emancipation, and some practical suggestions for animal rights education.This book explores how the ethical treatment and status of other-than-human animals influence pedagogy, teaching, and learning in general, aiming to fill what has been a gap in the philosophy of education. It examines key trends in this regard, including environmental education, humane education, posthumanist education, ecopedagogy, critical animal pedagogy, critical animal studies, animal standpoint theory, and vegan education. The book discusses animal minds and interests, and how animals have been accommodated in moral theory. Further, it investigates whether anti-racist and anti-sexist education logically entail anti-speciesist education and closes by proposing animal rights education as a viable and sound alternative, a pedagogy that does justice not only to animals in general and as species, but also to individual animals. If animal rights education is philosophically and educationally meaningful, then it can arguably offer a powerful pedagogical tool, and facilitate lasting pro-animal changes.The Palgrave Macmillan Animal Ethics Series,2634-6680EthicsEducationPhilosophyAnimal welfareMoral and ethical aspectsMoral Philosophy and Applied EthicsPhilosophy of EducationAnimal EthicsEthics.EducationPhilosophy.Animal welfareMoral and ethical aspects.Moral Philosophy and Applied Ethics.Philosophy of Education.Animal Ethics.370.1Horsthemke Kaiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut932898BOOK9910300633103321Animal Rights Education2099726UNINA
