This document discusses the education attainment and demographics of Chinese internet users from 1998 to 2016. It also analyzes the distribution of internet resources in China and divides China's network society development into three phases: Asteroids Period, Bees Period, and Coliseums Period. Finally, it compares different aspects like political parallelism across the three phases and discusses network labor models through historical examples.
1. Increasing population density is associated with lower per capita on-road carbon dioxide emissions, but this relationship weakens in suburban areas compared to urban cores.
2. While population density and emissions initially appear linearly related, this assumption is violated as relationships become non-linear. In urban cores, emissions saturation occurs around 4,000 people per square kilometer. In suburbs, emissions initially decline with density before also saturating, with regional variation.
3. Validation shows the Vulcan emissions inventory performs well against empirical traffic and emissions data, outperforming an alternative inventory, and has implications for maximizing emissions reductions through urban planning and density targets.
The document discusses efforts to promote digital inclusion and bring more people online. It describes how certain groups such as low-income households, racial and ethnic minorities, seniors, and those living in rural areas are less likely to have home internet or a computer. It then outlines the work of an organization called PCs for People which refurbishes and distributes computers to those in need, provides internet access through subsidized mobile plans, and offers computer repairs. The goal is to provide the same technology opportunities to low-income families as higher-income households by helping people access computers and the internet.
The document summarizes the comprehensive plan to transform Tysons Corner, Virginia from a traffic-clogged commercial area into a more livable urban center. It outlines the vision for Tysons, including 100,000 residents, 200,000 jobs, a grid of complete streets, transit-oriented development, and parks and open spaces. It also discusses plans for affordable housing, including requiring 20% of new units be affordable, and contributions from commercial developers to support affordable housing. Finally, it shows several rezoning proposals submitted that are being evaluated for conformance with the comprehensive plan.
PLAN 2040 is Metro Atlanta's plan to accommodate economic and population growth over the next 30 years as required by federal and state authorities. It addresses the region's unprecedented growth in the past decade which has led to challenges due to shifts in demographics such as age, race, and ethnicity. While long-term employment growth is forecasted, the region recently experienced significant job losses and wages have not increased as quickly as housing prices. Transportation demand is expected to greatly increase but the region has limited transit options, and funding new projects is challenging as revenue streams decrease while costs rise.
The document discusses plans by Metro and counties in the Portland, Oregon area to designate urban and rural reserves over the next 50 years to guide growth and development. It aims to identify sufficient urban land and protect rural land given projections of 1 million more residents over 30 years. A new process involves agreeing on reserves for 40-50 years, with urban reserves as potential development areas and rural reserves restricted from development. Public meetings are scheduled to engage residents and gather input on studying areas and designating preliminary reserves.
Mass transit is less utilized in North America compared to Europe due to lower population densities and more sprawling suburban development patterns that favor automobile use. Only 62.7% of Americans live in cities, and many cities are highly suburbanized with infrastructure designed around cars rather than public transportation. Additionally, many streetcar systems that existed in the early 20th century were dismantled, further reducing mass transit infrastructure. Rural areas have very low population densities that cannot support localized transit. Suburban developments also tend to be unsupportive of mass transit due to lack of proximity to stations and right-of-ways for tracks. Redeveloping infrastructure, such as underground subways, or improving existing systems is needed to better support mass transit in North

This document provides an overview of online social networks and summarizes key findings from three research papers about online social networks. It discusses what online social networks are, how they are used, and important properties of their graphs and user behavior. The key findings include: rapid early growth and then a slowdown of MySpace's user population in 2008 coinciding with Facebook's rise; newer MySpace users being more likely to become inactive than older users; and analysis of traffic patterns on social networks revealing the popularity of different types of user actions and features.
This presentation is one of several topics for an Urban Renewal Introductory Course implemented by the Executive Education Program of the Ateneo School of Government, with its tie-up with the DILG -- given to DILG, House of Representatives, and representatives from the various 17 local city governments of Metro Manila assigned to Urban Development and Planning. The end objective is to be able to identify, plan, and implement an Urban Renewal Project in each city, taking into account lessons and principles learned from the overall course.
This document provides an overview of online social networks and summarizes several related studies. It discusses what online social networks are and how they are used.

Grand Masterplans are great, except that if they're called a "DreamPlan" we are compelled to re-think, and get moving on elsewhere with urgency, to embrace global urbanization at local and community levels. If Metro/Mega Manila fails globally, the whole country will.
Good quality efficient mass public transport accessible to/from affordable homes for the majority is key to pull everybody up, especially the poor and the vulnerable, to upward income mobility. But again we also know that takes time.
So here we are wanting to solve our urban challenges differently by changing mindsets of political/community leaders, planners, developers and yes, ours. We have to bring back Metro Manila as a vibrant, competitive, resilient and healthy megacity and it starts with making communities walkable, bikeable and accessible to all. It's a very good, tried and tested way to re-boot and save the city.
If you live here and choose to rather just complain and say "no" to being shaken off your little comfort zones, the city as you see now is the city you deserve.
Re-consider being inspired by other successful urban cities and let's all help make it work here in Metro Manila.
The document summarizes the agenda and discussion topics for a Transit Working Group meeting. It discusses regional transportation challenges like congestion, growth constraints, and the need for high-capacity transit options. It also provides an overview of different high-capacity transit modes and projects currently being considered to address mobility needs in the Austin metropolitan region.
While China's urbanization level, rate of change, and trajectory differ in scale from other countries due to its large population, China's urbanization pattern is broadly consistent with economic development theories and historical precedents. China's urbanization level, though high, follows the trajectory of other countries at a similar economic development level. Some countries urbanized faster than China in the past, and China's urbanization rate is slowing as its economy matures. Therefore, China's urbanization is immense in scale but not fundamentally anomalous or unprecedented compared to other countries' experiences.
Dragon Trail Presentation at the Social Media Panel at the China Travel Distr...Dr Jens Thraenhart
The document discusses trends in internet and social media usage in China. Some key points:
- 420 million internet users in China as of 2010, representing 30% of the population.
- Chinese internet users are more engaged online, with 92% contributing to social media.
- Local social media platforms like Sina Weibo and Renren dominate in China due to government censorship.
- Online word of mouth is very influential for Chinese consumers, who often consult social media when making purchase decisions.
1) The document discusses how lower-income residents displaced from inner cities by gentrification often relocate to suburbs that lack robust public transit, creating barriers to employment opportunities and social services.
2) It proposes pilot programs using shared mobility services like Uber and Lyft to provide "first-mile last-mile" connections from suburbs to public transit stations and job centers to improve access for these residents.
3) Looking to the future, it argues transit agencies should evolve from fixed-route providers to "mobility managers" leveraging new technologies like shared, autonomous, and electric vehicles to better serve community needs.

Do Metro Atlanta Residents Have Access to Jobs & Amenities?ARCResearch
The document examines access to jobs, housing, and services in metro Atlanta. It finds that while the number of housing options near employment centers has grown, combined housing and transportation costs remain high. Commute times in Atlanta also tend to be longer than average. However, Atlanta has a vibrant arts community, ranking in the top 15% of major metros for creative establishments per capita.
This document discusses the rise and evolution of social networking sites. It provides statistics on usage and growth of major sites from 2005-2008, showing large year-over-year increases initially for sites like MySpace and Facebook. However, starting in late 2007, some sites like Friendster began declining rapidly as users migrated to sites with better features. By 2008, usage of many top sites began leveling off or declining slightly, suggesting the social networking market was becoming saturated. The future of these sites will depend on their ability to continue innovating and retaining users.
The document discusses factors that transform cities, including population growth, migration, and infrastructure upgrades. It provides examples of population growth in developing countries leading to overcrowded and unsanitary slums. Infrastructure upgrades, like those in 1850s Paris under Hausmann, can modernize cities through demolition and new wide boulevards, but also cause social imbalance and economic polarization. Political and management issues, as well as legal changes, influence how cities morphologically change through transport networks, building typologies, and urban sprawl.
Dr. Weisi Guo is an assistant professor at the University of Warwick who runs a research team studying big data, wireless networks, and smart cities. His research focuses on integrating big data analytics into traditional ICT systems to help design solutions for cities. He has received several awards for his work. At Warwick, he is involved with the Warwick Institute for Science of Cities and collaborations with other universities on smart city research through organizations like the Centre for Urban Science and Progress. His research examines how social media data can act as a sensor to understand cities and services by providing high resolution spatial, temporal, and contextual data on issues like sentiment mapping and complex network analysis.
This document discusses how new internet technologies are changing public service delivery and citizen participation. It notes that the OECD has called for new ways of working that leverage networks and connectivity to involve stakeholders. As citizens' expectations grow to participate in and shape services, the public sector must promote transparency and tap into these social forces. Web 2.0 sites have become very popular among younger generations who have grown up with technology and see the digital world as a normal way of life, communicating, and establishing relationships. This new "Net Generation" prefers interactivity and could provide opportunities for more cost-effective public services through greater citizen involvement and sharing of information online.
The document discusses the concept of the "Fifth Estate", which refers to a collectivity of individuals who use the internet and social media to hold powerful actors and institutions accountable. It provides examples like a 9-year-old girl in Scotland who blogged about school lunches, garnering over 10 million views and fostering debate. The Fifth Estate empowers citizens by allowing them to access information, connect with others, and have a voice in a way that challenges traditional power structures like government, business, and the press.
This document provides an overview of social media usage in Vietnam. It notes that internet usage has grown tremendously, reaching 34% of the population. Young adults are the most active online demographic. The top internet activities are news, search, and music. Social media is still emerging, with spectating more common than creating content. Popular platforms include Zing.vn for entertainment/media, and Facebook and local alternatives for social networking. Zing.vn in particular has become a leading platform through its diverse services.
1) The document discusses how online activities and e-commerce have expanded from urban to rural areas in China.
2) It provides data showing that as of 2016, Cainiao's logistics network connected over 300 counties and 15,000 villages to existing urban logistics systems. More than 16,000 villages had rural Taobao e-commerce stations.
3) The Suichang model in Zhejiang province is highlighted, where a comprehensive e-commerce service provider drives local economic development by promoting agricultural product sales through e-commerce and interacting with local businesses and industries.
Graham Harwood: Database Addiction, YoHa, 2015/16luruiyang
The document discusses concerns about databases used at Lorraine Hewitt House, including the Electronic Patient Journey System (EPJS) and National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS). Comments from staff express worries that confidential information may be shared too broadly, and that some database questions could cause distress. Staff also note that the information collected does not always accurately capture service users' full circumstances and lives. Concerns are raised that an overemphasis on metrics and targets could negatively impact support for complex, high-risk individuals.
The Tudor and Gold company has been in business for over 50 years, specializing in luxury watches. They are known for crafting timepieces by hand using the finest materials like gold and precious gems. While the company has faced challenges from cheaper mass-produced watches, their commitment to quality and tradition has ensured they remain successful in the high-end watch market.
The document discusses different concepts related to data structures including: 1) viewing data structures as spatial structures, 2) Boolean logic represented as circuits, and 3) decision trees that use weighting for encoding. It also references works by Gödel, Shannon and Weaver, and Leibniz. A list of terms is provided at the end relating to pages, neighborhoods, continents and objects like pens and pineapples.
This document discusses the concept of reticulation, which refers to the formation of interconnected networks. It explores this idea through the works of thinkers like Gilbert Simondon and his discussion of the poetic and signifying dimensions of technological networks like television antennas. The document also references Michel Foucault's concept of episteme, which he defined as the strategic mechanisms by which certain statements become acceptable as true or false within a field of scientific knowledge. Overall, the document examines the philosophical underpinnings of networks and reticulation through the lens of technology and systems theory.
The document provides information about co-operatives in Korea as of June 2016, with a focus on iCOOP KOREA. Some key details:
- There were 9,476 co-operatives nationwide in Korea, with 2,490 located in Seoul.
- iCOOP KOREA is the largest consumer co-operative federation with 85 member co-ops, over 237,000 members, and annual turnover of 526 billion KRW.
- iCOOP KOREA pursues ethical consumerism and production through support of workers, sustainable agriculture, food safety certification, and fair trade programs internationally.
Mobile augmented reality combines real and virtual worlds in an interactive and registered manner. It allows data to be directly overlaid on physical objects without additional displays. With augmented reality, users can interact with and visualize data without being removed from the real world. Some applications of mobile augmented reality include enhanced retail and tourism experiences, remote healthcare access, and assisted manufacturing. However, challenges remain in developing the underlying technologies, such as object tracking, localization, and natural user interfaces.
The document discusses the history and challenges of scaling web search engines to handle the massive growth of information on the World Wide Web. It introduces Google as a new type of large-scale search engine that aims to provide higher quality search results by making better use of the link structure and additional information in hypertext compared to existing keyword-based search engines. The prototype Google search engine indexed over 24 million web pages and could answer tens of millions of queries per day, representing major progress over earlier search engines from just a few years prior.

Editor's Notes
Thanks for organizing this conference..
Ten years ago I started to write my first single-authored book, which came out in 2009 entitled Working-Class Network Society: Communication Technology and the Information Have-Less in Urban China工人阶级的网络社会:中国城市的传播科技与信息中下阶层. . The book extends Manuel Castells's theory of the network society into Chinese contexts, where massive processes of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization re-defined not only China itself but also the world at large.
Are the basic ideas of working-class network society still relevant today? How has China, and the world, changed over the past decade? Does new social reality require theoretical revisions and new concepts?
Before answering these questions, let me first recap the main ideas of working-class network society. Here you see three books: on the left -- the 2009 volume; in the middle -- the Chinese version of working-class network society published in 2013; on the right -- my new book that just came out this year, which is quite different from and much more radical than my earlier work, but it nevertheless contains these basic ideas:
First, digital media are no longer an exclusive domain for middle- and upper-class people. The working class has entered the domain as the bulk of the market, in China as in most parts of the world. These working-class users found new means of information and communication; they are therefore no longer the have-nots. But they are not the so-called "have's", either. Instead, they have developed distinct modes of usage, social innovation, cultural capital, and/or political subjectivities, so much so that it makes sense to construe a new sociological category of the information have-less and a new technological category of working-class ICTs.
The information have-less include workers and their families, migrant labor, poor students, retirees. These are low-income groups with limited budget and low socioeconomic status, often exploited and disenfranchised. Yet, it is erroneous to see them as nothing but culturally unconscious and politically subdued. They are called have-less because they also have less commitment to the status quo. They are therefore also the social basis for new class politics extending from the shop floor and working-class communities into cyberspace, into digitally-connected networks, beyond the confinement of conventional unions and political parties.
Most definitively, have-less groups use working-class ICTs to meet their existential needs: find jobs, housing, healthcare, childcare. This differs from middle-class users hopping from one social media platform to another, in order to look cool, get entertained, and become a better consumer.
Several years ago, I wrote that the information have-less had only begun to move from a class-in-itself to a class-for-itself. But in my new book Goodbye iSlave, I contend that this process of class formation has excelerated -- because the scale and intensity of class confrontation have become so acute that a new slave regime is now looming large, in the electronics manufacture industry -- Foxconn, for example. Super exploitation and increasing oppression take place under conditions of digital media saturation. The result is more rapid rise of network labor, the class-for-itself in China's network society, and globally.
The idea of the working-class network society is, without doubt, an attempt to build on Castells's theory of network society -- as fleshed out in his Information Age trilogy -- and extend it to account for structural transformations in industrializing developing countries such as China.
Social class was, of course, THE key concept for Castells's earlier theoretical work in the 1960s and 1970s. Although he distanced himself from Marxian class analysis since the 80s, the theory of network society, as fully expressed in his trilogy, is still full of concerns about social inequality and class antagonism. For example he discussed the informational city as "dual city"; he specified that the labor force in network society consists of self-programmable labor on the one hand such as Silicon Valley designers or Wall Street traders, and generic labor on the other hand, such as blue-collar workers.
In Castells's theorization, the network society has two pillars: network enterprise and the network state. My contention is that, in the Chinese context and in similarly industrializing regions of the Global South, we ignore issues of class and labor at our peril. Indeed, a third pillar is emerging that I call "network labor", which stands on par with network enterprise and network state to constitute a more humane and more sustainable social system.
In the Chinese contexts, Castells has written extensively about networks of Chinese entreprenuers, from Southeast Asia to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China mainland. But does that still suffice given China's enhanced position as a leader of world economy; given the recent trend in Beijing to insulate the country increasingly from the outside world; given the decline of network state -- falling apart with neoliberal globalization, as seen in Brexit, in the US presidential election, as much as in China's new-found assertiveness in advocating sovereignty, for instance, on issues of Internet governance?
There is no doubt that the rise of network society has continued -- in terms of smartphone diffusion for example -- while the power of identity has also become more visible and more substantive, as can be seen in the rise of ISIS or nationalist sentiments around the world. But the end of millenuium is more than a social condition around year 2000. It is still happening now, as we witness the return of class politics -- in a renewed form, of course -- to the US election of 2016.
The white working class has been an essential part for Trump's America. What would the Chinese working class do in the future? Will they also surprise us? The answer is a resounding YES -- if we do not try harder to understand the working people, their informational needs, how they use digital media and be abused in that process, during their routine work and life, and at critical moments of key events.
Studying Chinese workers is not easy
Like their counterpart in the US, they are often silient or more precisely -- silienced by the pressure to make ends meet, by the management, the middle class, the media -- all of whom cannot care less about the working population.
But the Chinese situation is also very different. “China has got out jobs”, people like Trump would say. But they are wrong. The jobs created in China over the past decade or so are not the same as those jobs lost in the West. The pay is much lower, the exploitation much more severe. There is much less job security, much less institutional room for solidarity.
This is how China's digital and industrial revolutions happened in the past 15 years, when China became home to the world's workshop of electronic gadgets. Most smartphones and laptop computers are now made in China. Many layers of labor are necessary to have such a digital industrial revolution -- not only the migrant labor to work on the assembly line but also construction workers to build the infrastructure of factories and roads.
Between 2011 and 2013, China used more cement in three years than the US did in the entire 20th century. The scale of industrial development is massive and unprecedented as China industrializes, urbanizes, and globalizes herself.
The materialization of this digital industrial revolution, however, takes place in the context of a large developing country, which differs fundamentally from the social structure of the Global North.
Over the years, we see that the bulk of China's network society -- measured by Chinese Internet user population, for example -- has become working-class or info have-less users, as can be observed in this diagram...
Does the increasing proportion of working-class Internet users mean China's digital landscape is becoming more egalitarian?
No -- here is a snapshot regarding the geographical distribution of Internet resources...
This was however not a “natural” political economy of network society. If we take a longer view, China’s network society can be divided into three phases
...2003 and 2009 were turning points... ... A and B still co-exist with C today, but all attention is paid to the bloody entertainment going on in the politico-economy structure of social media now
The overall trajectory partially corresponds to the growth of civil society until 2009. Since then, “informational politics” has characterized China’s network society as media spectacles become increasingly overwhelming, under the combined influence of state-led communitarianism and finance- and technology-driven capitalism.
“one step forward” from phases A to B, then “two steps back” into phase C
despite its peculiarities, China is probably not alone in its non-linear trajectory of devolution; nor is today’s social media technology, often carrying promises of cosmopolitanism and emancipation, but actually turning out to be manipulative and parochial, conservative and instrumentalized
If we zoom in from China's network society at large to working-class social media more specifically, we see many parallel developments.
The three phases of working-class social media in China are also marked by two turning points: 2004 and 2009...
The third phase of China's working-class network society began with Foxconn suicides ...
Appconn 苹果糠 –a new world system, not just one company or two, not just one country of two
-- Chongqing
workers, like all citizens, are now put in digital shackles, when our data become the sources of advertising revenue, when Big Data analysis dictate our lives.
This is not only good for the corporations and their stock shareholders but also for the police state, who can now retrieve more information, with higher precision, about labor movement, social networking among activists, for instance. Whenever a new bloody show is planned in the coliseum, they can easily pull out whoever they want, complete with his or her past histories, including sandals for the media, and digital evidence for court hearing.
Is this complete domination? Will alternatives be possible?
My take is that there is also ample sources of hope -- if we understand the digital worlds of Chinese workers
As Castells has noted in his trilogy: a hallmark of network society is that it is "globally connected and locally disconnected":
globally connected -- Appconn, news about Trump
locally disconnected -- what's going on in the factory zone? (plenty of workers's voices and actions for us to see hope)
Also the beginning of the third phase
The world's largest shoe factory, 48,000 workers on strike
Wooha, a high-class e-commerce site subject to employee subotage similarly in Ctrip 携程
the first worker-initiated "cyberwar" ambush (via Search Engine Optimization)
the global trend of working people becoming content creators -- Worker-generated content, digital picket-line, new literacies
Another line of exciting development during phase 3:
There is enough slack in digital capitalism and in statist control system for diverse forms of WGC to take place, survive over time, and have sustained impact
Coops合作社
Many possibilities of WGC, beyond the confinement of UGC (middle-class, individualistic, and consumerist)
To conclude, the landscape of China’s network society has become more varigated, some parts more bleak, some parts more hopeful. While China has become a more integral component of the capitalist world system, this does not mean its working class would simply succumb and accept exploitation along the assembly line and in the data mine.
