El desarrollo sostenible se ha promocionado como un modelo económico compatible con la protección y la preservación de los recursos naturales, que supone un alto concepto de responsabilidad social, económica y ambiental a cargo del Estado y también de los particulares. El derecho a gozar de un ambiente sano, por su parte, se ha convertido en un derecho de gran importancia para garantizar la calidad de vida de las actuales y de las futuras generaciones. El lector encontrará en esta investigación académica las razones por las cuales el desarrollo sostenible es, precisamente, el determinador de la naturaleza fundamental del derecho a gozar de un ambiente sano, y está en condiciones, además, de constituirse en petición de principio general del Derecho. La naturaleza fundamental del derecho a gozar de un ambiente sano se predica, en consecuencia, de su ubicación normativa, de su desarrollo jurisprudencial y legal, y, especialmente, del aporte que el desarrollo sostenible le da en estos tiempos modernos, como núcleo o contenido esencial, mínimo e irreductible de este derecho.El lector encontrará en esta investigación académica las razones por las cuales el desarrollo sostenible es, precisamente, el determinador de la naturaleza fundamental del derecho a gozar de un ambiente sano, y está en condiciones, además, de constituirse en petición de principio general del Derecho.

In recent times what has become known as "the case of Medellín " has generated a growing interest in the international community. These urban transformation that Medellín has experimented have become a focus of attention and reference for experts in many fields, around the world. The book ́Medellin: Environment, Urbanism and Society ́, that now published the Center for Urban and Environmental Studies, Urbam, of EAFIT University is a testimony of the value given by our culture to the accomplishments of the city, to the idea of the public sphere and the growing relationship between the technical sphere and the political sphere, understood in the broad sense as a form of disciplinary knowledge and construction of civil society. This book brings together a knowledge of the city from multiple perspectives; knowledge that is, without any doubt, impressive for its extension and profoundity, as well as for its capacity to combine objective data with conceptual reflections about the scope and impact of the different perspectives concerning the theme of urban transformation and the different actors that have participated in such processes. The book weaves a broad net over the city, its history and development, adopting a multidisciplinary vision. I think that this will be the first step in creating a speech that might finally liberate itself from the strict disciplinary boundaries, building a trans-disciplinary perspective that can amplify the urban dimension of the city. This is the beginning of a profound and complex reflection that is, at the same time, a project of knowledge and an instrument of action and participation.

There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right kinds of educational, health, and labor-market policies are in place. The report also examines specific regions of the world and how their differing policy environments have affected the relationship between population change and economic development.

The Andes are attracting global interest again: they hold valuable mineral resources, tourists appreciate their great natural beauty and the diversity of indigenous cultures, climbers scale rock and ice faces, while many others are intrigued by regional political developments, such as the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela or the almost unfettered hegemony of the neoliberal economic model in Chile. This volume is the first attempt for decades to present a complete overview of the longest mountain chain on the planet – a region of remarkable climatic, floristic and geologic diversity, where advanced civilization developed well before the arrival of the Spanish. Today the Andes continue to be characterized by their ethnic, demographic, cultural and economic diversity, as well as by the disparity of local socioeconomic groups. The Andean countries pursue a wide range of approaches to tackle the challenges of making the best use of their natural and cultural potential without damaging their ecological basis, as well as to overcome economic disparity and foster social cohesion. This book provides insights into this unique region and its most pressing issues, complemented by a wealth of pictures and comprehensive diagrams, which, in sum, help to better understand these fascinating mountains.
