PATRIMONIO INDUSTRIAL, REVITALIZACIÓN ECONÓMICA Y COMPACIDAD URBANA EN EL POBLENOU-22@BARCELONA ¿UN NUEVO MODELO BARCELONA?

We present a graphical guideline of a multiscalar, systemic and «glocal» approach to the global sustainability problem, based on four hotspots of the geographical sciences: 1) The formulation of major principles of Geocybernetics, 2) the maturation of the Earth Observation System of Systems, 3) the development of the planetary limit concept, and 4) the rise of technologies which enable the massive public participation in the production and use of geographic information. We argue the relevance of this viewpoint in the quest of conciliating economic welfare with environmental stability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
