Pedestal Fanelectricity Consumption



We are
a transition whose magnitude and importance is being perceived weaknesses. The importance of cities is becoming increasingly important for building societies. Article Habitat Group Cataluña ISF.
"In 1950 there were 86 cities on Earth more than a million inhabitants. Currently (ie in 2006) is 400 and in 2015 the figure will have risen to 550 (...) the result is that cities absorb all the population growth of the global population is projected to reach 10,000 million people in 2050 " 1 . Onstage
offered by these figures which illustrate a complicated context for governments to short, medium and long term, was held on 4 October, World Habitat Day under the official heading "Better City, Better Life."
speak of "better life" means to speak of cities whose growth does not pose an ecological threat to the planet, economic development opportunities regardless of the origin and condition. Therefore, we speak to cover the universal right to adequate housing and to encourage cultural coexistence. We talk about cities that allow access to equal opportunities and capacity building, irrespective of gender, age or origin, of the recapture of the public spaces and desegregation, and speak in short, the public budget realization of this claim welfare.
We know that people who live in slum areas constitute 78.2% of urban population in poor countries and a third of the global population 2. We know that the logic of the market is handling the management of basic services like water, electricity and housing without ensuring every one of those citizens. We also know that the dramatic increase in production and consumption that is generated in the urban environment is intimate and contradictorily linked to falling real wages, the increased insecurity and unemployment, coupled to a particularly dramatic increase in female migration 3.
The current management of urban growth on the part of government has been insufficient to address the issue of suburbanization of cities.
In the hands of social movements and civil society organizations will be calling attention to this pattern of unsustainable development and propose an alternative, pressure on the government to ensure that "better life" common and continuous construction of which represents one of the greatest challenges in history.
cover to achieve an equitable management of the city, it is necessary start with a collective social construction of habitat capable of involving the eyes of all authors, without exception, as the management of urban phenomenon remains gender mainstreaming in the planning, construction and management of cities.
David Harvey reminds us: "The ideal public space is an area of \u200b\u200bongoing conflict, and continuing ways to solve it, then reopen it again."
