But such an ambitious task  requires a diversified, sustainable set of economic activities, mostly  focused on the production of services and non-material goods. This  complex issue is analyzed using different approaches, with a  discussion of the case of Venice as an example of some of the most  relevant problems concerning the relation between the environment and  development in the contemporary world: the trade-off between  preserving an ecosystem and considering it as an economic resource;  the evolution of different urban growth scenarios and the preservation  of a physical habitat; the role of immaterial production in urban  economic development; the nature of tourism as a sustainable activity,  considered from both from the environmental and cultural angles; the  institutional aspect of governing a process of sustainable urban  development. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eReadership\u003c\/em\u003e: A unique resource for environmental and urban  managers, policy analysts, students of sustainable development, and  anyone else interested in the social and economic implications of  preserving one of the most loved and celebrated cities in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-10-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401037884\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401037884\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0692-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 271\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343363141772,"sku":"9789401037884","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401037884_810aaad9-04e8-4a72-acb6-077305b7e1ff.jpg?v=1755053694","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401037884","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
