Gestion dynamique de la nature temporaire en RĂ©gion bruxelloise
La recherche Biodiv.Temp est menĂ©e conjointement par le Centre de recherches et dâĂ©tudes pour lâaction territoriale (CREAT) et le SĂ©minaire de recherche en droit de lâenvironnement et de lâurbanisme (SERES) dans le cadre dâun financement Innoviris Anticipate. Cette recherche a pour objectif de fournir les outils juridiques et dâurbanisme nĂ©cessaires Ă lâĂ©tablissement dâun maillage vert et bleu dynamique et cohĂ©rent tout en densifiant lâhabitat en tenant compte des dynamiques temporelles et spatiales propres Ă la RĂ©gion de Bruxelles-Capitale
Conflits et mutabilité des délaissés urbains en région de Bruxelles-Capitale
International audienceWith the emergence of temporary occupations, the temporary use of a place by human being or nature leads to potentially restrictive conflicts for urban development projects. To ensure the sustainable densification of Brussels, biodiv.temp research has identified different types of potential conflicts in the urban wastelands and the factors that influence them. These results have fed the construction of a âmutability indexâ considered as a means of helping to resolve conflicts. This mutability index will be applied to case studies and implemented to the rules in force in the Brussels-Capital Region will be proposed to achieve the objectives of sustainable densification taking into account the temporality of urban mutations and biodiversity.Avec lâĂ©mergence des occupations temporaires, lâusage temporaire dâun lieu par lâĂȘtre humain ou la nature amĂšne des conflits potentiellement contraignants aux projets de dĂ©veloppement urbain.

Aménager les espaces publics wallons
Le vade-mecum des espaces publics wallons vise Ă contribuer Ă une culture commune de lâespace public. Il ambitionne de fournir un outil ancrĂ© dans la rĂ©alitĂ© wallonne et encourageant la transversalitĂ© des savoirs et des compĂ©tences. Il se veut un outil guidant la conception, aidant Ă arbitrer les intĂ©rĂȘts et Ă©quilibrer les besoins. Il nâoffre pas de solutions âprĂȘt Ă lâemploiâ, Le vade-mecum expose des ambitions de qualitĂ© et ne prĂ©tend pas dĂ©finir de rĂšgle de bon amĂ©nagement. Il faut le lire/comprendre comme un idĂ©al commun vers lequel se tourner. Les ambitions concernent tant lâamĂ©nagement en tant que tel que la maniĂšre de conduire le projet
New regional geographies of the world as practised by leading advanced producer service firms in 2010
This paper reports a new type of world regionalisation based upon the location strategies of leading advanced producer service firms. To generate these âglobal practiceâ regions, a principal components analysis of the office networks of 175 service firms across 138 cities is used to identify 10 common location strategies. These are interpreted as fuzzy (overlapping) and porous regional formations each consisting of two parts: a home-region and a global-outreach. The results indicate five overlapping pairs of regions: (i) intensive and extensive globalisations based upon the USA plus London (USAL); (ii) Americas and Latin America regions; (iii) Pacific Asia and China regions; (iv) Europe and Scandinavia regions; and (v) Australasian and Canadian âCommonwealthâ regions. All regions have worldwide global-outreaches but they differ significantly in their respective sizes and importance. Discussion of these findings elaborates upon two key points: first, globalisation is not a âblanketâ process creating a homogeneous world, and second, the resulting fuzzy and porous regionalisation counters the traditional âterritorialistâ regional geographies that can provide a framework for global conflict with a more complex geography of multiple global integrations
Genomic Designing for Climate-Smart Tomato
Tomato is the first vegetable consumed in the world. It is grown in very different conditions and areas, mainly in field for processing tomatoes while fresh-market tomatoes are often produced in greenhouses. Tomato faces many environmental stresses, both biotic and abiotic. Today many new genomic resources are available allowing an acceleration of the genetic progress. In this chapter, we will first present the main challenges to breed climate-smart tomatoes. The breeding objectives relative to productivity, fruit quality, and adaptation to environmental stresses will be presented with a special focus on how climate change is impacting these objectives. In the second part, the genetic and genomic resources available will be presented. Then, traditional and molecular breeding techniques will be discussed. A special focus will then be presented on ecophysiological modeling, which could constitute an important strategy to define new ideotypes adapted to breeding objectives. Finally, we will illustrate how new biotechnological tools are implemented and could be used to breed climate-smart tomatoes
