Introductory Remarks -- 2. What Is Light Pollution? -- 3. Influence and Effects of Artificial Light After Dark and Light Pollution -- 4. International Comparative Analysis of Sources of Light Pollution in Urban Areas -- 5. Simulation of Urban Scenarios/Modules and Spaces -- 6. Solutions for Reducing Urban Light Pollution -- 7. Conclusion and Outlook.Light pollution (light smog, light pollution or light emissions) is a fundamental problem in metropolises with effects on flora, fauna and people. Accordingly, the first section of the book discusses the basics of light pollution and its effects on various organisms. The characteristics of light smog in the cities of Hanover, Warsaw, Boston, New York City and Toronto are then analysed and compared. But how can the problem be tackled? Existing measures for the prevention of light pollution are discussed and further novel approaches are shown by comparing the metropolises. The book is aimed primarily at practitioners in this field and helps to identify sources of emissions and identify suitable reduction measures. The Content What is light pollution ? Effects of artificial light after dark International comparative analysis Simulation of urban scenarios and spaces Interdisciplinary solutions for reducing urban light pollution The Target Groups City and regional planners, architects, civil engineers, urbanists, light planners, biologists Lecturers and teachers in urban and spatial planning training courses About the Author Emlyn Etienne Goronczy holds an academic degree in architecture with a focus on lighting design. He works in an international planning office and was awarded the Fritz-Schumacher-Preis of the City of Hamburg in the junior category. This book is a translation of the original German edition „Lichtverschmutzung in Metropolen“ by Emlyn Etienne Goronczy, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH in 2018. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.Light pollutionBuildingPollutionApplied ecologyCity planningCity planningUrban economicsSociology, UrbanBuilding Construction and Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23012Pollution, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35000Applied Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023Urbanismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K18006Urban Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49010Urban Studies/Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22250Light pollution.Building.Pollution.Applied ecology.City planning.City planning.Urban economics.Sociology, Urban.Building Construction and Design.Pollution, general.Applied Ecology.Urbanism.Urban Economics.Urban Studies/Sociology.690Goronczy Emlyn Etienneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1226853MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484579103321Light Pollution in Metropolises2848700UNINA04113oam 2200613M 450 991015461580332120230126214839.01-315-23262-6(CKB)3710000000965389(MiAaPQ)EBC4758105(OCoLC)966310635(OCoLC-P)966310635(FlBoTFG)9781315232621(BIP)56989094(BIP)49880181(EXLCZ)99371000000096538920161013d2016 uy 0engur|||||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierBusiness, environment, and society themes and cases /Vesela R. Veleva, Charles Levenstein, John Wooding, John ForrantLondon :Routledge,2016.1 online resource (338 pages)Work, Health and Environment Series0-89503-882-X 1-351-86861-6 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.This book blends theory and practice to support courses in corporate social responsibility (CSR), business and society, and environmental management and sustainability. Based on her extensive work with companies, the author offers engaging readings and teaching cases that address key challenges for business today - measurement, supply chain management, public policy, and stakeholder pressures. Part I focuses on the macro-level and provides an overview of concepts such as the green economy, eco-industrial parks, corporate social responsibility (corporate citizenship), nanotechnology, and sustainable consumption. Part II provides specific frameworks and tools for sustainability management and measurement at the company level. Part III includes detailed teaching cases of several well-known firms. The main theme is that business is a key player in achieving a more sustainable development, yet its practices are often narrow in focus or shortsighted. The text provokes discussions around issues such as: Is business sustainability possible in a market economy focused on increasing consumption? Should a product or service be called "green" when it puts at risk the health and safety of workers? What can U.S. policymakers learn from their European counterparts when it comes to protecting human health and the environment? How can we ensure that the benefits of nanotechnology exceed its risks? How can sustainability indicators be used as a tool to advance sustainability by companies and policymakers? The book provides a flexible, up-to-date supplementary teaching tool for undergraduate and graduate students, executive education courses, and certificate programs. Intended Audience: Primarily undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in environmental management, corporate social responsibility (CSR), sustainability, or business and society; as a supplementary text in professional education and certificate programs in environmental management, corporate citizenship, sustainability, and CSR.Work, health, and environment series.Social responsibility of businessEnvironmental responsibilityUnited StatesSocial responsibility of businessUnited StatesCase studiesEnvironmental responsibilitySocial responsibility of businessUnited StatesEnvironmental responsibilityUnited StatesCase studiesSocial responsibility of business.Environmental responsibilitySocial responsibility of businessEnvironmental responsibility.Social responsibility of businessEnvironmental responsibility658.4/08Veleva Vesela R.1968-993022Levenstein CharlesWooding JohnForrant JohnOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910154615803321Business, environment, and society2273902UNINA
