La ZMT es una zona urbana, similar a una máquina térmica que cuya lógica de crecimiento, no respeta las leyes de la termodinámica, ya que los altos consumos de energéticos y su alta ineficiencia demuestran generación de entropía, manifestada en elevadas emisiones de contaminantes, movilidad deficiente, islas de calor y disminución de la calidad de vida de sus habitantes. [...]

The Role of Informal Waste Management in Urban Metabolism : A Review of Eight Latin American Countries

Social and spatial segregation structures in Latin America are perceived as processes for the selective concentration of social or demographic groups in geographic sectors of the city. This voluntary or forced segregation creates poor, wealthy, and marginal areas, leading to the territory's marginalization and fragmentation, destroying the symbolic and territorial urban continuity.

Abandoning fossil fuels and increasingly relying on low-density, land-intensive renewable energy will increase demand for land, affecting current global and regional rural-urban relationships. Over the past two decades, rural-urban relationships all over the world have witnessed unprecedented changes that have rendered their boundaries blurred and have lead to the emergence of "new ruralities.

Urban agriculture systems can significantly contribute towards mitigating the impacts of inefficient and complex food supply chains and increase urban food sovereignty. Moreover, improving these urban agriculture systems in terms of nutrient management can lead to a better environmental performance. [...]

Rural territories and cultures have been increasingly sacrificed through depopulation, invasion by infrastructure, and the presence of industries which are incompatible with agriculture. Meanwhile, the expansion of urban space through demographic agglomeration and the concentration of activities in cities is leading to a progressively urbanised world. [...]

Purpose: Rooftop greenhouses (RTGs) are agricultural systems that can improve the food supply chain by producing vegetables in unused urban spaces. However, to date, environmental assessments of RTGs have only focused on specific crops, without considering the impacts resulting from seasonality, combinations of crops and nonoperational time. [...]
