The objective of the Eco2 cities initiative is to help cities in developing countries achieve a greater degree of ecological and economic sustainability. The book is divided into three parts. Part one describes the Eco2 cities initiative framework. It describes the approach, beginning with the background and rationale. Key challenges are described, and lessons are drawn from cities that have managed to turn these challenges into opportunities. A set of four key principles is introduced. These principles are the foundation upon which the initiative is built. They are: (1) a city-based approach enabling local governments to lead a development process that takes into account their specific circumstances, including their local ecology; (2) an expanded platform for collaborative design and decision making that accomplishes sustained synergy by coordinating and aligning the actions of key stakeholders; (3) a one-system approach that enables cities to realize the benefits of integration by planning, designing, and managing the whole urban system; and (4) an investment framework that values sustainability and resiliency by incorporating and accounting for life-cycle analysis, the value of all capital assets, and a broader scope for risk assessment in decision making. Part two presents a city-based decision support system that introduces core methods and tools to help cities as they work toward applying some of the core elements and stepping stones. Part two looks into methods for collaborative design and decision making and methods to create an effective long-term framework able to help align policies and the actions of stakeholders. Part three consists of the Field Reference Guide. The guide contains background literature designed to support cities in developing more in-depth insight and fluency with the issues at two levels. It provides a city-by-city and sector-by-sector lens on urban infrastructure. The next section comprises a series of sector notes, each of which explores sector-specific issues in urban development.Aproximadamente un 90% del crecimiento urbano mundial tiene ahora lugar en los países en desarrollo y se prevé que entre 2000 y 2030 toda el área urbana edificada en estos países se triplicará. La urbanización ha hecho posible el crecimiento económico y la innovación a lo largo de todas las regiones que en la actualidad forman tres cuartas partes de la producción económica mundial y ha contribuido a dar lugar a desafíos medioambientales y socioeconómicos, que incluyen el cambio climático, la contaminación, la congestión y un rápido crecimiento del chabolismo. Este libro proporciona una visión global de las Ciudades Eco2 del Banco Mundial. El objetivo de la Iniciativa de las Ciudades Eco2 es ayudar a las ciudades de los países en desarrollo a conseguir un mayor grado de sostenibilidad ecológica y económica.CC BY 3.0 IGOECOLOGICAL RESEARCHAGRIBUSINESSAGRICULTURAL COMMODITIESAGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTAGRICULTURAL GROWTHAGRICULTURAL INTENSIFICATIONAGRICULTURAL LABORAGRICULTURAL LANDAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTUREARABLE LANDBANANASCASH CROPSCINNAMONCOASTAL PLAINSCOASTSCOCOACOCONUTSCOFFEECOMMODITYCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECONTRACT FARMINGCOPRACOTTAGE INDUSTRIESCOTTONCROPCROP PRODUCTIONCROPLANDCROPPINGCULTIVABLE LANDCULTIVATED LANDDEVELOPMENT RESEARCHDISEASESDRAINAGEDRY SEASONECOLOGICAL CONDITIONSECOLOGICAL FACTORSECOLOGICAL ZONESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHEQUIPMENTESTATE CROPSEXPLOITATIONEXPORT CROPSFAOFARMFARM HOUSEHOLDSFARM INCOMEFARM LANDFARMERFARMERSFARMINGFARMSFLOOD PLAINSFLOODINGFOOD CROPSFRUITSGNPGREEN REVOLUTIONHARVESTINGIMPORTSINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINDIGENOUS PEOPLEINTEGRATIONIRRIGATIONIRRIGATION SYSTEMSLABOR FORCELAMBLAND ACCESSLAND DISTRIBUTIONLAND OWNERSHIPLAND PRODUCTIVITYLAND REFORMLAND RESOURCESLANDSLONG-TERM CONTRACTSMAIZEMARGINAL PRODUCTIVITYMARKETINGMULTIPLE CROPPINGNATURAL RESOURCESOILOPPORTUNITY COSTSPALM OILPEPPERPLANTATIONPLANTATIONSPLANTINGPOTATOESPRIVATE PROPERTYPRODUCEPRODUCERSPRODUCT QUALITYPRODUCTION FUNCTIONSPRODUCTIVITY OF LANDPROPERTY RIGHTSQUALITY STANDARDSRAINFALLRAINFED FARMINGRESEARCH AGENDARESERVOIRRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRICERICE AREASRICE CULTIVATIONRICE PRODUCTIONRICE VARIETIESROOTSRURAL DEVELOPMENTSEEDLINGSSHIFTING CULTIVATIONSTRATIFICATIONSTREAMSSUGARSUGAR CANESUGARCANETEATECHNOLOGICAL FACTORSTERRACINGTEXTILESTREE CROPSTREESTROPICAL CROPSTROPICAL PRODUCTSTROPICAL RAIN FORESTSUPLAND FORESTSUPLAND RICEWAGESWATER SUPPLYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTTROPICAL CROPSTROPICAL CROPSLAND USERAINFORESTPOPULATION DENSITYNATURAL RESOURCESRIVER DELTASFLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENTRICE PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL INVESTMENTSLAND MARKETSCASH CROPSAGRICULTURAL POLICYLAND MANAGEMENTLAND ACQUISITIONLAND DEVELOPMENTAERIAL PHOTOGRAPHYEco2 Cities : Ecological Cities as Economic CitiesCiudades Eco2 : ciudades ecológicas como ciudades económicasCiudades eco2 : ciudades ecologicas como ciudades economicasWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-8046-8
