Abstract

Underdraining has been recognized as one of the major capital-intensive agricultural improvements of the nineteenth century. Over half the agricultural area of England is subject to waterlogging and is in need of some form of underdraining, rendering the improvement both technically and economically basic to much of English agriculture. By removing excess soil water, the object of underdraining was to reproduce as far as possible the conditions of free-draining land, which was workable all year round, and to create an optimum soil-moisture content for both plant growth and cultivation. Despite the necessity for the improvement, a wide-ranging debate exists in the literature on the extent, effectiveness and agricultural importance of underdraining in the nineteenth century. The present study attempts to resolve this debate. By examining the evidence of draining loans under the Public Money Draining Acts and of the various land improvement companies and the accounts of estates in Devon, Northamptonshire and Northumberland, a precise record has been provided for the, first of the spread of underdraining in England in the nineteenth century, of the factors involved in its adoption and of its impact on agricultural practice in that period.

Abstract

Urbanization is a process taking place in our society, which is changing from a predominantly rural and agrarian society into a predominantly urban and industrial one. This is a transformation which is not just taking place in certain areas, it is not merely a concentration of houses and of people and of activities, but what is perhaps much more important: it is also a change in the way of life. Although there are regional differences, which exist within every nation and between the nations of Europe, the process is a general one, it is omnipresent. Whether the country is rich or poor, it still spends between 15% and 25% of all invested capital on the formation of physical assets (housing, for example). It uses another 15% to 20% on various urban services (roads, utilities). Including domestic power, this means that everywhere about half of the investment resources available are spent on the process of urbanization. Much more significant than this financial way of indicating the im­ portance of urban society and of the urbanization process, but much less clearly expressed in figures, is the fact that it is in the cities that the great evolutions are taking place from the society of the present towards the society of the future. The big cities and conurbations are the breeding­ grounds of technological innovation, of new forms of organization, of the creation of new activities, of new social relations and of new forms of culture.

Abstract

De Stadsmonitor is een meet- en leerinstrument voor de 13 Vlaamse centrumsteden, voor het Vlaamse stedenbeleid en voor iedereen die bij de stad betrokken is. De Stadsmonitor brengt in kaart hoe leefbaar de steden zijn en hoe duurzaam hun ontwikkeling is. Iedereen die bij de ontwikkeling van de stad betrokken is kan de monitor gebruiken om te leren en om discussies en keuzes te onderbouwen. In het bijzonder wil dit instrument voeding geven aan het strategische beleid van het stadsbestuur. De monitor omvat 190 indicatoren die gebaseerd zijn op een visie bestaande uit doelen en intenties die duidelijk aangeven waar we met de stad naar toe willen. Deze indicatorenset werd ontwikkeld in opdracht van de Vlaamse minister bevoegd voor stedenbeleid en dit in overleg met enkele honderden experts uit de 13 centrumsteden, de Vlaamse administratie, de middenveldorganisaties en de academische wereld

Abstract

Ce livre montre comment les fonctionnaires de l'Etat ont réussi à guider et à façonner l'agglomération bruxelloise. Il dissèque des archives de l'Etat afin de montrer comment au 19e siècle celui-ci a réussi à construire et à véhiculer une réflexion sur le temps, sur l'avenir et sur l'agencement auprès des autres protagonistes de la ville. Il démontre qu'aux mains des fonctionnaires de l'Etat, les quatre outils usuels de l'urbanisation que sont l'alignement, la projection, le régime urbain et le nivellement se sont modifiés jusqu'à devenir à la fois des énigmes philosophiques et des forces de la mutation territoriale elle-même.
