Habitat de Gorditos- Obesidad en Coahuila
2008-04-10 00:39:00 Crédito fotografia: Hector Raul Gonzalez En los albores del siglo pasado, las disciplinas de salud pública y planeación urbana estaban Ãntimamente relacionadas. Los médicos y los planificadores hacÃan equipo, intercambiaban información y compartÃan proyectos. La construcción de la red de drenaje es tan solo un ejemplo de muchas iniciativas que cumplieron el doble propósito de mejorar la vida urbana y reducir la incidencia de epidemias. Sin embargo, algo cambió radicalmente en la época moderna. Hoy, los esfuerzos de ambas disciplinas parecen confrontarse. Por ejemplo, la prioridad otorgada a la construcción de infraestructura para el automóvil va en contra del esfuerzo del sector salud de reducir la obesidad. Los permisos otorgados para edificar desarrollos masivos de vivienda en lugares donde no hay supermercados, lleva a sus ocupantes a construir su dieta a base de tacos y Gansitos. La inseguridad y la falta de inversión en espacios públicos (ejemplificada por...

Historic Habitat Houses
2008-03-08 07:40:00 Thanks to a reader who sent me this interesting article from USA Today "In Savannah, aesthetics, assistance work well together" regarding Habitat for Humanities attempts to build a house that fits into the historic neighborhood."In short, the program hopes to promote low-income housing in historic neighborhoods by building homes that fit architecturally into the surrounding community." and "the goal is to have people feel that their house fits into the neighborhood, so they feel part of the neighborhood, too."To do so they have developed, in conjunction with the Institute of Classical Architecture & Classical America, a Pattern Book for Neighborly Houses.Interesting except from the ICACA web page: "The strength of our democracy is based on individual economic achievement and social mobility. Traditional American neighborhoods provided a range of types and cost of housing, all within a walking distance of daily services, schools and churches. This mix provided role models for su...

Report reveals 'alarming' rate of mangrove habitat loss
2008-02-01 15:44:00 Mangrove ecosystems should be better protected, the UN's food agency has warned as it published new figures showing that 20% of the world's mangrove area has been destroyed since 1980A study by the Rome-based Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said that the environmental and economic damages caused by the "alarming" loss of mangroves in many countries should be urgently addressed.Countries must engage in more effective conservation and sustainable management of the world's mangroves and other wetland ecosystems, it warned, ahead of World Wetlands day tomorrow.The world has lost around 3.6m hectares (20%) of mangroves since 1980, the report showed.The total mangrove area has declined from 18.8m ha (46.4m acres) in 1980 to 15.2m ha (37.5m acres) in 2005. However the report did show that there has been a slowdown in the rate of mangrove loss: from some 187,000 ha destroyed annually in the 1980s to 102,000 ha a year between 2000 and 2005. This reflected an increased awareness of...

Check for $2500 Presented to San Diego Habitat for Humanity
2007-12-13 15:21:00 As you know from our installation meeting, Southern California CRS was able to donate $5000 in 2007 to Habitat for Humanity. The check for $2500 for the Temecula Chapter was accepted by Vicki Puterbaugh on behalf of the chapter. I had the opportunity to present the check for $2500 for the San Diego Chapter of Habitat for Humanity yesterday at their office on San Diego Mission Road. It was such an honor to meet Elizabeth Neubrand, the Director of Community Affairs and Public Relations, and to be able to hand her our donation in person. After the presentation I spent a few minutes with Elizabeth to learn more about the Chapter's activities and their needs. The San Diego Chapter has built 100 homes in the last 20 years, which is such an achievement. But they are planning now to build dozens more in the near future and must raise $6 million to reach this goal (homes will break ground in Carlsbad, Oceanside, Vista,El Cajon and National City...

Inmobiliaria Habitat obligada a renegociar deuda con los bancos
2007-11-23 11:59:00 Parece que se confirma que la compra de la división inmobiliaria de Ferrovial por parte de Inmobiliaria Habitat, le está pesando como una losa al pez pequeño que trató de engullir al pez grande. Ya comentamos a principios de Septiembre, que Habitat podrÃa estar teniendo serios problemas para poder cumplir con las condiciones de financiación pactadas con los bancos. La parada en seco del sector inmobiliario español y el credit crunch están poniéndole la puntilla a una operación de adquisición terriblemente ambiciosa pero a la vez muy arriesgada por el alto grado de apalancamiento que comportaba. Hoy leemos en La Vanguardia que Habitat está en contactos con la banca para adaptar las condiciones de devolución de la deuda contraÃda que asciende a 1.745 millones de euros. Dos son los principales problemas a los que se enfrenta la inmobiliaria. En primer lugar, uno de matiz contable, y es que a raÃz de la entrada en vigor de la nueva ley del Suelo, que obliga a valorar en...
