Marseille and the Environment. Assessment, Quality and Stakes. The sustainable development of a large coastal city in the face of climate change
In a book accessible to all, the collaborators of the OT-Med research consortium take stock of the issue of sustainable development of the Aix-Marseille metropolis. This book, which explores land, coastal and marine issues, as well as urban, social and management challenges, is set in a context of climate change.
Aix-Marseille Provence, a large Mediterranean metropolis, reveals multiple social and environmental issues. This book questions the issues of sustainable development of such a coastal territory in the face of the challenge of climate change. Based on scientific knowledge from the OT-Med Laboratory of Excellence research group, it presents an overview of the environmental problems of this metropolis. Faced with the questions of public managers and decision-makers, it offers an interdisciplinary synthesis of "local science" made available to all: urban space, soils, biodiversity, sea and coastline, atmosphere and climatology, risks, protected areas, etc. are examined. An academic reference, a gateway to society, the economy and environmental management, "Marseille et l'Environnement" disseminates this data in an accessible language, providing a better understanding of current challenges, actions already taken or underway, and solutions that we will have to invent.
