People-centred regeneration
Why we need a new social contract for housing and regeneration - one that starts by valuing people in our poorest communities.
Sustainable development 3
Sustainable development aims to create good living conditions for all people without compromising future generations. It can be divided into environmental, social, and economic categories. Environmentally, sustainable practices include turning off lights, recycling, and reducing consumption. Socially, sustainability means ensuring survival and welfare for current and future generations through efforts like donating to charity. Economically, sustainability requires safety nets and reasonable prices stabilized by inflation-free currencies. The three categories are interdependent, so actions like buying fair trade help the environment, social conditions, and economies.

We have learned more about climate change through this project and ways to help such as saving energy at home. The project also fostered new international friendships and excitement at hosting visitors from other countries. On a personal level, participants are now thinking more about the climate when making purchases and trying to buy local food and other local products.

The document discusses how the ERRB (Economic, Regeneration and Recovery Board) can become more radical and effective (FAB) in its work. It notes that they need to be more radically inclusive by connecting with voices not currently in the room, such as those most affected by economic crises like the residents of Twerton and Radstock. It also states that the group needs to focus on specific shared projects, engage from the start with those who need change, and learn by doing work with key groups like architects, designers, financiers and social entrepreneurs. The work of socio-economic reform is difficult but the group must "start anywhere and follow it everywhere" to make progress.B&NES: how does the ERRB become FAB

Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment.
Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management of Forests were adopted by more than 178 Governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.
Prosperity Without Growth Report
Prosperity Without Growth? says that the current global recession should be the occasion to forge a new economic system equipped to avoid the shocks and negative impacts associated with our reliance on growth. the report calls on leaders to adopt a 12-step plan to make the transition to a fair, sustainable, low-carbon economy. March 09, Updated versin can be bought as a book nov.09.
Purpose + Passion = Prosperity
The document discusses how aligning business with purpose and passion can lead to prosperity. It argues that the current economic system is unsustainable and businesses need to shift from a focus on profits and growth to regenerating communities and the environment. Purpose goes beyond CSR to making a positive contribution to social and ecological issues. This requires changing perspectives from seeing the world as a machine to an interconnected living system. When companies find their higher purpose in issues like sustainability, it benefits stakeholders, attracts talent and investment, and can still lead to profit growth. Tourism is presented as having an opportunity to transform from just experiences to inspiring wonder in nature and empathy for the planet.
Crowdfunding For Cities
An innovative blueprint to revitalize the downtrodden cities of our world in a financially and environmentally sustainable way.
Going Green : fpuwqhoasfioajiofjaiosjiofjasjfjas
The document provides an introduction to sustainability and sustainable development. It defines sustainability as meeting current needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Sustainability rests on three pillars - economic prosperity, environmental stewardship, and social equity. The United Nations has identified 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030 to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity. Transitioning to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power is key to reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Individual actions like reducing waste and conserving water can integrate sustainable practices into daily life. While challenges remain, opportunities exist for innovation and positive change towards sustainability.
E stainable Goals
A new way to look at the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development goals.
In 2015, more than 190 world leaders committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to help us all end extreme poverty, fight inequality & injustice, and fix climate change.
We each have a role to play if we’re going to achieve these goals of a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable world

The overall goal is to promote harmony and prosperity in the Dales.
Global Ecovillage Network Annual Report 2021
The Global Ecovillage Network is a growing and evolving international network of regenerative communities and initiatives.
This year’s Annual Report presents the activities, impact, vision and mission of GEN and the organisations that make up the key parts of our network - the GEN regions and GEN International.
We first provide an overview of GEN and our core frameworks, key performance indicators, and highlights of the year. We then share the accomplishments from GEN’s five Regions and NextGEN, our youth arm, celebrating the wealth of action and cultural diversity of the journey towards low impact, regenerative lifestyles around the planet.
We hope you will enjoy the journey through
2021 with us!
To the entire GEN family,
While at GEN we celebrate our leadership and organisational transformations, and our continued political stand practising regenerative styles of living, the world leaders continue to be lethargic in the face of the threat of the Climate Emergency.
We celebrate Carlos Rojas and Jennifer Viloria, the new co-chairs of the Board of Trustees. We celebrate the GEN International team and the new group of Trustees together advancing in a global strategy to guarantee the transition towards a viable sustainability model for GEN. We celebrate the expansing of the GEN General Assembly into the Network Steward Circle, which has an imperative role as a think tank to activate the communities of practice necessary to articulate actions at all levels of the network.
However, we cannot neglect the context in which we are. The Climate Emergency has intensified, with ecocides threatening life in the territories where many of us live. War reaches out of local contexts, to escalate to a global threat. Famines reoccur, caused by the systemic failures of large-scale agriculture based on a monopoly of agricultural supplies dependent on fossil fuels. Those are not new, but are a strong call to stand firm in promoting the solutions offered by regenerative styles of living in communities. For that reason, I invite you to read this report asking yourself, which of these fruits are your contribution to guaranteeing buen vivir on this planet? What do you want to do in fellowship with GEN to be more impactful?
As usual, in the annual report you will find details on the financial health of GEN, its achievements and challenges in 2021 and notes on the transition towards being a financially viable network.
Celebrating the achievements of GEN in 2021, I also say farewell after completing 6 years as a GEN trustee and my term as chairwoman of the Board.

Cities are becoming the global powerhouses that will solve many of the world's most pressing challenges at a local level. Helsinki is serving as a test lab for megacities and has become one of the fastest growing cities in Europe, experimenting with new strategies to improve things incrementally each day. However, cities also need to collaborate with each other by building networks to share goals, learn from one another, and innovate together towards a more sustainable future.
LivingSmart Geraldton 2010 - Introduction
The document provides an overview of the Living Smart program, which aims to empower participants to improve sustainability in their homes and communities. It discusses the partnership between organizations that developed the program. The 7-week course uses guest speakers, discussions, and coaching to provide sustainability tools and create a supportive learning environment.
Transition Presentation
The document discusses the need to transition away from fossil fuel dependence towards local resilience and sustainability due to the challenges of peak oil and climate change. It argues that this transition is inevitable and it is better to proactively undertake it now through community-led initiatives like Transition Towns that aim to increase local self-sufficiency, re-skill populations, and build psychological and social resilience. The Transition model provides steps and principles to guide communities in grassroots efforts to reduce emissions and fossil fuel use while improving lives.

Annual Report 2020 - Global Ecovillage Network

“This gathering of human and non-human beings has never happened before and will never happen again.” - Charles Eisenstein, GEN Online Summit.
As GEN celebrated our 25th year in 2020, and all the contributions that lead us here, no one could imagine the uncertainty the world would face. While gathering the stories and data to showcase our accomplishments for the year, we felt an enhanced sense of gratitude for the abundance within our members and collaborators. As a network and organisation, our resilience was tested and proven, and like a diverse ecosystem, we navigated challenges with creativity, flexibility, and solidarity. We were truly pressed to practice the ecovillage principles, particularly "clarifying vision and higher purpose" as well as "listen to the feedback of the world." We believe our Annual Report reflects this and are pleased to share it with you here.
Our Vision and Mission remain the same, as do many of our core frameworks. And we remain open to evolving how we serve these, how we work together, and how we understand our impact. Read the invitation for celebration from our passionate and committed President of the Board. Read the reflection and re-focusing from the Focus Area Directors of the GEN International team. Notice how we exceeded some of our targets (particularly the number of communities we reach out to and the number of online learning participants we engaged with). And learn how our restructuring process is re-shaping our work.
In a year of restricted travel, we maintained our global focus through collaborating with partners in all regions, through the Twinning Project, Hildur Jackson Award, BLAST, GAMER, Green Economy, Ecovillage Transition in Action, Ecovillage Schools, and Research. We continued to showcase stories from the network in our Online Summit. And our volunteers and Ambassadors networks grew and strengthened.
You can also read about our priorities for 2021 and join us on the journey back 25 years, to celebrate all that shaped who we are today. As always, we invite you to dive into each of the regions' highlights as well. Representatives from GEN Africa welcomed well-earned recognition for several awards in 2020 and infused energy into the Pan African Ecovillage Development Programme. CASA Latina held an enriching and regenerative annual meeting and embraced online learning opportunities with several collaborative education projects. GEN Europe followed suit in the online world, creatively adapting their in-person gathering to an incredible array of online engagement workshops, as well as launching a Connect and Create course and Communities of Hope documentary.

Into the wild: research 'impact' and the curious world of public policy
This document summarizes research on the high street and efforts to impact public policy. It discusses 3 case studies: 1) how knowledge about skills for sustainable communities was ignored by governments, 2) how the "big society" narrative undermined community development knowledge, and 3) how research on food banks and welfare reform is consistently ignored. It reflects on challenges of impact including losing control of the research narrative, policy preferences determining research agendas, differing definitions of impact between researchers and policymakers, and impact being more about self-presentation than influence. It proposes an agenda for impact that sees impact as provisional, challenges canonical knowledge, is inclusive of participant views, and disturbs rather than just reinforces the status quo.

How can we conceptualise the city of the future and what makes a place worth living in? This presentation introduces principles of placemaking, examines four case studies and poses some bigger questions.
Walking the way to prosperity
This document discusses the challenges facing thriving high streets and town centers in the 21st century. It explores how shopping trends are changing with the rise of online shopping and big brand concentration. It also looks at different visions for high streets as either shopping destinations or community hearts. The document also examines questions around how walkability and transport access relate to town center prosperity. It questions whether changes are needed to prioritize pedestrians and public transport over private cars. Overall, the document analyzes issues facing high streets and questions how to create vibrant town centers in the future.
A Luddite analysis of smart(er) cities
There's more to smart cities than technology and traffic management. Really smart cities are cities that think about the future and how to ensure everyone can enjoy the benefits of urban improvements. This presentation seeks to challenge conventional thinking on smart cities and raise the questions that really need to be addressed.
Why we need slow policy
The Slow Food movement challenged the poor quality and damaging effects of fast food. Now we need a Slow Policy movement to tackle the damaging effects of government policy processes.
A new retail future for Sheffield?
This document discusses the challenges facing retail in Sheffield and proposes alternative visions for the city's future. It notes that traditional shopping models are changing as large retailers consolidate in prime locations. Meanwhile, cities like Liverpool have seen large-scale investments that drive new visitors but also increase polarization. The document questions whether Sheffield needs to focus as much on large-scale retail development or if it could draw more on existing cultural assets and a spirit of entrepreneurship. It proposes lighter, more experimental approaches rather than relying on big development projects and suggests changing the city's narrative may be as important as changing its retail offerings.
Urban Pollinators: who we are, what we do, how we can help you
Urban Pollinators aims to create better places through sharing knowledge and ideas. They do this through writing, research, speaking, and facilitation on topics like regeneration, town centers, the natural environment, and placemaking. Their work challenges conventional wisdom and puts people and community at the center. They have inspired new thinking on issues like the future of the high street and how communities can care for local assets.
A 21st Century Commons: from economic tragedy to reclaiming the streets
This presentation, for the Shared Assets '21st Century Commons' event in London on 5 December, explores current thinking about the commons and considers how it challenges conventional views of urban regeneration and development.
The New Historic City
What future for high streets in historic cities? This presentation for RSA Fellows in northwest England and the Cheshire Society of Architects examines the links between high streets, heritage, belonging and possible economic futures.
The people-centred city
How can architects and planners help to create cities fit for the future? This presentation, created for the international conference on Cities, People and Places organised by the University of Moratuwa in Sri Lanka in October 2013, argues that people-centred policies that encourage sociability and civic participation are needed in response to global issues such as climate change and urbanisation.
Beyond the Portas review: what next for town centres?
Seven challenges facing our town centres if they are to revive and thrive in the future, from a shifting retail environment to climate change - and seven responses.
Regeneration with a human face
These slides were used to illustrate a lecture at Sheffield University, 'Regeneration with a human face: responsible urban recovery'. They look at the problem of knowing 'what works' in regeneration and propose six people-centred approaches that can help us move forward. You can read the full text of the lecture here: http://urbanpollinators.co.uk/?page_id=1820
Social value: from procurement to co-production
With the Public Services (Social Value) Act about to become law in England, why are public services taking so long to factor social value into service design? This presentation looks at the policy context and some of the pitfalls.
From 'me' towns to 'we' towns
How the UK's small towns are leading the way from 'me' to 'we' - changing from towns that focus on consumption to towns that focus on citizenship.
Urbanism for everyone
Are we creating cities for people - or just for professionals who think they know what people want? These slides look at how we can start developing an urbanism for everyone.
Breathing life back into our cities
These slides were prepared for the State of the City event in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in October 2012. They examine why we need to rethink urban policy in general, and city centres in particular, in the light of the challenges and opportunities we now face.
People powered high streets
This presentation explains why we need high streets that connect with, serve and benefit local people. It shows why we need to connect viscerally with people's emotions and motivations, and strategically with the wider economy.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Editor's Notes
- Slide 1. The idea that we can infinitely add more to what we currently have underpins most ‘regeneration’ strategies. Produce more cars every year; build more roads for them to travel on; build and rent out more office space; build more city centre apartments; create more shopping centres. Economic and placemaking strategies frequently fail to recognise limits to environmental resources, consumer demand, and communities’ capacity to withstand disruption. It’s an approach that values excess above sufficiency, sees waste as an economic good and reduces human wellbeing and life satisfaction to a byproduct of economic activity.
- Slide 6: That means rethinking our approach to funding programmes, targets and accountability and creating new, hybrid organisations that bring together those who have a common interest in improving places and communities. Nobody has a monopoly of ideas and nobody should have a monopoly of implementation.
- We need a new sense of home: places and communities that we value, feel safe in and where we share a sense of ownership with those around us. Most of the programmes and solutions of the last few decades have failed to achieve this, or have begun promisingly but fizzled out. It’s time to trust people to do this themselves.
