Legal, policy and institutional reforms necessary in order to safeguard and ...John Barasa
This document discusses legal, policy, and institutional reforms needed in Kenya to protect indigenous peoples' access to land and land-based resources. It notes that indigenous groups face challenges including marginalization and lack of recognition by the government. While Kenya's 2010 constitution aims to address these issues, indigenous communities continue to suffer evictions from ancestral lands due to uncertainty in laws and policies. The document calls for strengthening land tenure security and customary land rights for indigenous peoples through legal reforms, policy changes, and court rulings that are compliant with international human rights standards of free, prior, and informed consent.
This document assigns roles and responsibilities to members of a construction project team for a 3 storey townhouse in Cheras. It details who will work on taking off quantities, bills of quantities, tender documents, framing, external works, finishes, doors, staircases, roofs, and windows. It also mentions using a PAM form 2006 contract which has advantages of avoiding uncertain contract terms but has disadvantages of complex terms and conditions.
This document presents a project proposal to study patterns of governance in the peripheries of metropolitan cities. It will focus on how key institutions and the growing social diversity shape resident subjectivities and social relations. The proposal outlines the research questions and problems. In recent decades, peripheries have seen rising incomes but also growth in informal economic activity and state/non-state violence. The proposal aims to explore how these changes influence resident attitudes, practices, and identities through ethnographic research in a working-class neighborhood of São Paulo.

The conceptual and moral framework of criminal lawJohn Barasa
The document discusses the history and theories of criminal law. It begins by explaining how laws first emerged as human groups developed and conflicts arose. It then discusses three main theories of punishment in criminal law: retribution, deterrence, and reformation. Retribution focuses on punishing wrongdoers for their actions. Deterrence aims to prevent future crimes through setting examples. Reformation seeks to rehabilitate offenders and reduce harm. The document also examines different justifications for criminal liability and explores moral frameworks and perspectives in criminal law development.

This document outlines Dr. Nicola Headlam's proposed 10-year intellectual agenda focused on cities and public policy, with a focus on Bristol. It includes sections on research, teaching, and knowledge exchange. The research section discusses urban policy topics like economic development, regeneration, and governance models. It emphasizes understanding cities as interdisciplinary objects. The teaching section reviews previous courses taught and emphasizes real-world experiences for students. The knowledge exchange section discusses collaborations with urban think tanks and civic universities. It proposes the Bristol area as a "living laboratory" to study place-based policymaking approaches.
Urban Myths? Transforming narratives of place via the media representation of...Beatriz Garcia
Hosting a major one-off cultural event has become a key aspiration of cities attempting to renew or change their local economic base and position themselves as world, international or national cultural centres. This paper discusses evidence gathered in a wide diversity of cities across Europe throughout the last three decades, which is the period seeing the most noticeable growth in culture-led regeneration strategies to the point that they now dominate the policy debate within a majority of post-industrial cities.
The focus is the European Capital of Culture programme, an EU initiative launched in 1985 and hosted by close to 60 cities in 30 European countries. One of the key claims associated with this programme is that it can transform the ‘image’ of a city and that this, in turn, can lead to widespread social (eg. boosting pride) and economic (eg. attracting tourists and investment) benefits. These image transformation claims are mainly the result of the heightened media attention that some of the host cities have been able to generate.
The paper offers a reflection over the media impacts of the programme at large and a closer interrogation of two of the most high profile examples, spanning from the beginning of the initiative in the mid 1980s (Glasgow 1990), to one of the most recent cases, taking place at a time when city branding and the notion of Capitals of Culture as a media event has become common place (Liverpool 2008).
The document discusses six students' analyses of Liverpool and Barcelona using various urban theorists, including Kevin Lynch, Jane Jacobs, Gordon Cullen, and Christopher Alexander.
Natalia Kaminska analyzes three districts in Liverpool (Liverpool One, Ropewalks, and The Waterfront) using Kevin Lynch's theory of paths, nodes, edges, districts, and landmarks to understand how people navigate the city. She describes each area and applies Lynch's elements to examine individual perception and wayfinding.
The other students will similarly apply theories from Lynch, Jacobs, Cullen, and Alexander to analyze various neighborhoods in Barcelona, examining aspects like safety, movement through space, and formation of public spaces. The goal is to

London has enjoyed recent success as the world's most visited city, but faces threats to its cultural identity and broader economies from an unchecked focus on wealth. The document discusses London's unique assets like its world-leading diversity and cultural narratives. It also examines how the city has strategically promoted itself through bodies like London & Partners to maintain its status as a global supercity, and how connections across sectors can drive growth through projects improving transportation and regenerating areas. The city's rich cultural offerings and ability to inspire commercial brands demonstrate how London speaks to the world through its stylistic palette.
Dr Calzada delivered a keynote 'In/Visible Citizens in Visible (Smart) Cities' in the charity promotion event held by MACI innovation and Rowan Alba in Edinburgh (Scotland) on the 23rd September 2016. The aim was blending private sector, with NGO (third sector), public sector, civic society and academia.
This document provides information about an urban sustainability course taught by Daniel Warshawsky at USC in Fall 2011. The course will be split into two parts, with the first half covering conceptual frameworks of urban sustainability and the second half examining real-world case studies focused on health, nutrition, and food insecurity. Students will write two papers and take a midterm and final exam. The course schedule outlines the topics and assigned readings for each class session over the semester.
Urban Patterns and Citizen Participation: Geographical Data Analysis of Decid...Matteo Manca
The document discusses an analysis of citizen participation data from Decidim Barcelona, an online platform for citizen participation in Barcelona city planning. The analysis found over 10,000 proposals submitted online, with over 165,000 votes and 18,000 comments. Offline, there were 410 physical meetings with over 11,000 attendees. The goal is to detect patterns in citizen participation across urban areas and identify topics of most interest to help promote more equal participation. Future work will examine factors like Internet access that could affect participation inequality across districts.
The document summarizes an urban fabric analysis of building heights, population density, and metropolitan functions around a site in Chicago. It shows a gradient from southeast to northwest that conforms to downtown Chicago's radiating influence. The proposed public library project overlaps two distinct building volumes to create a core conference/event space. This communicative space facilitates cultural exchange and interaction between different metropolitan cultures and social values in the city.
This document analyzes and compares 30 major global cities based on their performance across various economic, social, and technological indicators. It finds that London scores highest overall, led by its strength in areas like intellectual capital, technology readiness, and status as a global hub. New York ranks second with balanced performance across indicators. Singapore jumps to third place, scoring highest in transportation/infrastructure and ease of doing business. The analysis aims to understand what policy approaches work best for urban economies and populations in an era of rapid urbanization.

El informe "Ciudades con mayor proyección de futuro" analiza un grupo de 30 grandes ciudades de todo el mundo -entre las que se encuentra Madrid- consideradas como buenos ejemplos de centros urbanos atractivos, dinámicos, llenos de oportunidades y de futuro. El análisis se realiza a partir de diez grandes indicadores y 59 subindicadores de carácter económico, social y cultural.
London ranks first overall, scoring highest in intellectual capital and innovation, technology readiness, and city gateway. New York ranks second, showing strong performance across most indicators. Singapore ranks third, finishing first in transportation and infrastructure and ease of doing business. The top cities generally perform well across multiple quality of life, economic, and technological indicators, demonstrating the benefits of balanced social and economic strengths.
This document discusses the future representation of a city and provides details on the author's final project. It begins with an introduction explaining the goal of proposing a new layout for the fictional city of "X" due to it becoming unlivable. It then provides background sections on what defines a city, the history of cities, what makes a city, and what makes a good city. The document outlines the author's investigations into ancient underground cities like Derinkuyu, present underground cities like Montreal and Seattle, and future planned expansions to Montreal's underground city. Key elements that will influence the new city design are the ventilation systems of ancient underground cities, Montreal's concept of two cities in one, and the potential to build additional levels
This document discusses creativity and social innovations in community development. It argues that creativity and social innovations can generate business and jobs, increase attractiveness of local communities, and increase democracy and social inclusion. The concept of creative cities is based on the idea that creative industries and a general creative attribute in society are important for post-industrial economies. Examples of creative cities from around the world are discussed, as well as how the creative city approach could be applied in developing countries. The document then discusses examples of creative community development in Namibia and how innovation, including social innovation, can increase creativity and potential in communities through open innovation, user innovation, and community innovation.
The document discusses the requirements for a final project on representing a future city. Students must investigate past, present, and future cities to understand their development. For part A, students will create a video and report proposing a new city between 25-40 km with a population of 150,000 to 500,000 Malaysian people. They will also investigate the ancient city of Mohenjo-Daro as an example, noting its planned grid layout, drainage system, and architecture.
On 13 February 2017, the Urban Transformations programme, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), brought together a range of academics and practitioners from across Europe for a knowledge exchange event on urban living labs and smart cities. The University of Oxford convened the event, working with the European Regions Research & Innovation Network (ERRIN) and the workshop took place at one of ERRIN’s members, the Delegation of the Basque Country to the EU. This was the second in a series entitled Bridging European Urban Transformations established in partnership with the VUB (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and its Brussels Centre for Urban Studies. In this post-Brexit era, cooperation across borders and disciplines seems more important than ever before. Consequently the series, which runs from November 2016 to October 2017, emphasises the value of connections between institutions and key players in the field of urban transformations in the UK and in the rest of Europe.
LONG LIVE THE DAY OF THE ARCHITECT AND URBANIST IN BRAZIL, ONE OF THE GREAT R...Faga1939
Today, December 15th, the Day of the Architect and Urban Planner of Brazil is celebrated, which is also the birthday of one of the most renowned architects and urban planners in the world, the Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer. On this date, I pay my respects to all the architects and urban planners in Brazil who contributed with their intelligence and creativity in the realization of great works for the benefit of Brazilian society, especially to the architects and urban planners Claudia Alcoforado (my daughter), Esperança Leria (mother of my granddaughter Sofia), Ernesto Carvalho (my nephew), Karla Andrade, Loris Brantes, Marcos Lopes, Paulo Ormindo de Azevedo, Eduardo Henrique Teixeira, Guivaldo D´Alexandria Baptista, Javier Alfaya and also to my late brother architect and urban planner Luiz Carlos Alcoforado. Architects and urban planners deserve our tributes because they have distinguished themselves from antiquity to the contemporary era, not only in the elaboration of building projects, many of which are true works of art, but also in urban planning whose objective is to improve the quality of life of cities through political, environmental and social actions, among others. Architecture and Urbanism has been responsible, since antiquity, for creating public and private spaces capable of uniting, at the same time, functionality, aesthetics and comfort. Nowadays, Architecture can be defined as the relationship between man and space, or rather, the way it interferes with the environment, creating favorable aesthetic and functional conditions for housing, use and organization of space. The exercise of planning cities comes from much older civilizations. The objective of urban planning is to respond to the problems faced by the gathering of many people in cities, which became more complex after the 1st Industrial Revolution in the 18th century in England. From the beginning of the 20th century to the contemporary era, there has been an accelerated urban growth that has led to serious problems that negatively affect the quality of life of people who live, mainly, in big cities. Architects and urban planners have worked closely with engineers, economists, sociologists and other professionals in planning and implementing solutions to urban problems.
#BRANDLONDON: place branding report by creative.unionKarl Aussia
The world’s most visited city, London has in recent years enjoyed stellar success that is now compromised by an unregulated focus on wealth. Disconnected from the capital’s rich cultural identity, this threatens to undermine its broader economies.
Featuring observations and opinions of some of the UK’s foremost developers, placemakers and cultural commentators, this #BRANDLONDON report seeks to understand whether the capital has the strengths, smarts and connections it needs to build on its dazzling recent record.
