Over the years, the significance of green in civic life has grown. In twenty-first-century America, not only open space but also other issues of sustainability-such as potable water and carbon footprints-have become crucial elements in the quality of life in the city and surrounding environment. Confronted by a U.S. population that is more than 70 percent urban, growing concern about global warming, rising energy prices, and unabated globalization, today's decision makers must find ways to bring urban life into balance with the Earth in order to sustain the natural, economic, and political environment of the modern city.In Growing Greener Cities, a collection of essays on urban sustainability and environmental issues edited by Eugenie L. Birch and Susan M. Wachter, scholars and practitioners alike promote activities that recognize and conserve nature's ability to sustain urban life. These essays demonstrate how partnerships across professional organizations, businesses, advocacy groups, governments, and individuals themselves can bring green solutions to cities from London to Seattle. Beyond park and recreational spaces, initiatives that fall under the green umbrella range from public transit and infrastructure improvement to aquifer protection and urban agriculture.Growing Greener Cities offers an overview of the urban green movement, case studies in effective policy implementation, and tools for measuring and managing success. Thoroughly illustrated with color graphs, maps, and photographs, Growing Greener Cities provides a panoramic view of urban sustainability and environmental issues for green-minded city planners, policy makers, and citizens.City in the twenty-first century book series.Urban ecology (Sociology)City planningEnvironmental aspectsUrban beautificationEnvironmental aspectsArchitecture.Fine Art.Garden History.Political Science.Public Policy.Urban Studies.Urban ecology (Sociology)City planningEnvironmental aspects.Urban beautificationEnvironmental aspects.307.76Birch Eugenie Ladner1467612Wachter Susan M321551MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788510403321Growing greener cities3844865UNINA03084oam 2200481 450 991082059550332120190911100030.01-299-40881-80-12-404638-X(OCoLC)846961279(MiFhGG)GVRL6ZQD(EXLCZ)99267000000033880220130222d2013 uy 0engurun|---uuuuatxtccrApplied cyber security and the smart grid implementing security controls into the modern power infrastructure /Eric D.

There are many systems that comprise the larger system of the "Smart Grid," which utilize both common and open protocols as well as many highly specialized protocols used for industrial automation and control, most of which are designed for efficiency and reliability to support the economic and operational requirements of large distributed control systems. Similarly, industrial protocols are designed for real-time operation requiring deterministic results with continuous availability. Combined together, this blend of open and proprietary networks enables the much larger network of measurements, controls, metering and automation that is the Smart Grid. This amalgam of disparate systems and networks is also a major factor in the cyber security concerns facing the Smart Grid today"--Provided by publisher.Smart power gridsSecurity measuresComputer networksSecurity measuresSmart power gridsSecurity measures.Computer networksSecurity measures.621.310285/58Knapp Eric D1705721Samani RajLangill JoelMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910820595503321Applied cyber security and the smart grid4092668UNINA
