Conflicts over use of urban and regional spaces in the time of climate changes. Good management and planning practices

Abstract

The areas inhabited by man have always been an arena of conflict. The more developed regions attract new residents, who seek their place and work there. Excessive migration causes congestion, lack of space for new buildings and hence conflicts. Conflicts over water, over sustainable electricity, over resources, over access to education are also everyday topics in all parts of the world. This publication is a continuation of the topics discussed in earlier monographs, which were the result of joint research of Polish and Latin American geographers within many projects dedicated to urban issues. It is the first of the two volumes published in 2021 and contains texts presenting new case studies and new ideas about sustainable development, risk and local development in Poland, Colombia and other South American countries.
