Gentrification and its Effects on Minority Communities – A Comparative Case S...Premier Publishers
This paper does a comparative analysis of four global cities and their minority districts which have been experiencing the same structural pressure of gentrification. The main contribution of this paper is providing a detailed comparison of four micro geographies worldwide and the impacts of gentrification on them: Barrio Logan in San Diego, Bo-Kaap in Cape Town, the Mission District in San Francisco, and the Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus District in Vienna. All four cities have been experiencing the displacement of minority communities due to increases in property values. These cities were chosen because their governments enacted different policies to temper the gentrification process. It was found that cities which implemented social housing and cultural inclusionary policies were more successful in maintaining the cultural and demographic make-up of the districts.

Urban public space is once again a ‘hot’ topic and figures strongly in place quality discourse. City spaces are being recycled, reinterpreted and reinvented in a drive for a competitive quality of place. This paper illustrates the changing face of contemporary UK public space through a qualitative analysis of the perceptions held by public and professional-bureaucratic actors. Drawing on empirical case study research of five recent enhancement schemes at prominent nodes throughout the North East of England, the research explores the culture and economics of urban public space design. Some tentative observations are expressed in terms of the links between cultural activity and economic vitality, and some reflections on policy and practice are put forward.

Q1For this question, we will focus on a comparison and contrast.docxleonorepour284
Q1:
For this question, we will focus on a comparison and contrast of early American civilization creation stories, specifically the Aztec creation stories, with the European creation story from Christianity. What we want to compare are the ideas about the relationship between God and humanity as depicted through art. It's not necessary to retell the stories in this discussion. We will all have read the material. Focus on similarities and differences in the meaning of the stories. How does each civilization view the creator and creation? the roles of women? the relationship between humanity and the divine?
King James Bible, Genesis 1, 2
Q2:
Who was Guaman Poma and what relationship did he have with the Spanish Conquistadors who came to colonize the New World and rule over its peoples? What contribution has he made to modern discussions of freedom, liberty, and modern political and social organization? Do you think Guaman Poma's work supports or contradicts the idea that Europeans brought civilization and political organization to the Incas? What did Europeans bring?
Q3:
Discuss the three major West African Kingdoms of the Early Modern Period. Focus on the major forms of artistic expression of these kingdoms. What is the Griot tradition? How are literature, creative expression and history linked in the storytelling tradition of the Griot?

The multiple challenges that cities face also represent a strategic opportunity to build sustainable cities
and reap the benefits of rapid urbanization. Urban de
velopment should be understood as a balanced and inclusive
development of four pillars: economic de ve lopment, social
development, environmental management and urban
governance. The enabling mechanisms include an integrated
investment on green industrial transformation, improved
public infrastructure, access to and efficient use of social
services, effective urban governance, and the protection and
management of natural resources.
About 6.25 billion people would be living in urban cen
tres by 2050, eighty per cent of which would reside in develop
ing regions, concentrated in cities of Africa and Asia. For ex
ample, African cities would house over 1 billion people, which
would be three times the figure of urban North America, twice
the figure of Latin America and the Caribbean or Europe, and
comparable to China’s urban population at that time. In many
cities of developing countries the main challenge would then
be how to provide adequate public services and job opportuni
ties to residents, including marginalized populations in mega
cities. In addition, the adverse impact of social inequalities on
human health and the environment can multiply when we
factor the adverse effects of ‘natural’ disasters. The incidence of
natural hazards linked to climate change events has increased

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. PART 1
THE CURRENT CONTEXT OF CRISIS, ITS ROOTS
AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHANGE
4. THE CURRENT CONTEXT OF CRISIS, ITS
ROOTS AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES FOR
CHANGE
We live in the midst of a structural crisis that affects
everything and everybody. It is not the end of the world, but it is
the end of one particular world, the world built in the last two
decades on a card house of speculative global finance. The
current crisis is not just economic. It is a
social,environmental, spiritual and spatial crisis that has resulted in
an economic collapse, and may usher in anumber of ominous
developments
5. THE CURRENT CONTEXT OF CRISIS, ITS
ROOTS AND ITS OPPORTUNITIES FOR
CHANGE
The urban dimension of the crisis is not
peripheral, but central to the model of
social and economic organization.
The trigger of the crisis was the crumbling
of the housing mortgage market as a
result of the high risk lending practices,
the so-called subprime loans.
6. Urban Transformation and the
Taming of the Economic Crisis
Urban policies have always been
connected to the management of the
transition from one economic model to
another.
7. Urban Transformation and the
Taming of the Economic Crisis
. Under the current conditions of confusion and potential
chaos, we believe in the power of ideas as levers
of transformation. Thus, we want to contribute to
the growing debate on which kind of city may better
respond to the economic, environmental, social and
functional challenges of the new world we are
entering,reluctantly for most people and institutions, as
a result of the bankruptcy of the economic and spatial
modelon which our lives have been based.
8. Urban Transformation and the
Taming of the Economic Crisis
Change happens because the old system
cannot function any longer. However,
change does not necessarily mean
improvement.
9. Urban Transformation and the
Taming of the Economic Crisis
A shrunk (reduzido) model of capital
accumulation in the urban environment
may result in retrenched urban fortresses
surrounded by marginalized settlements
rather than in a redeployment of our
ability to live together.
10. Urban Transformation and the
Taming of the Economic Crisis
. And so, we want to propose a number of initiatives
that could change the course of urbanization towards a
sustainable city with abetter quality of life. We do not
indulge in utopia. The problems we are facing are too
serious to play with dreams, in spite of the energizing
value of dreams. We are identifying some of the decisive
flaws of our urban living, and suggesting a number of
practical initiatives to induce the transformation of our
built environment.
11. Urban Transformation and the
Taming of the Economic Crisis
Because of the tentative character of our
elaboration, we have chosen to open a
series of windows on a possible new urban
world, rather than articulating a
systematic urban vision.
12. Urban Transformation and the
Taming of the Economic Crisis
This stems fromour conviction that
transformation does not follow an orderly
rationale but rather it results from multiple
mutations in various dimensions of the
urban system that, in their convergence,
end up modifying the overall dynamics of
urban space.
13. Urban Transformation and the
Taming of the Economic Crisis
While specific spatial and social contexts
call for specific policy proposals, we
believe that the underlying principles of
our urban intervention apply, with the
proper adaptation, to most of the forms of
human settlements on our urbanized,
endangered planet.
14. Urban Transformation and the
Taming of the Economic Crisis
Looking at urban forms and processes
from the people’s perspective, there are
some basic needs and desires that cities
should provide: [..?..] We must add from
the point of view of humankind and
its future, the environmental sustainability
of the metropolis, and of the earth’s eco-
system at large.
15. some basic needs and desires that
cities should provide
a decent, affordable shelter; [moradia decente acessível]
a healthy environment; adequate urban infrastructure;
a communication/transportation system that ensures
mobility and connectivity;
personal safety and psychological peace of mind;
access to health and education;
.
16. some basic needs and desires that
cities should provide
a spatial form that facilitates sociability, anchored in public spaces
throughout the metropolitan area;
the capacity to satisfy a share of the basic needs without depending
on commercial consumption, for instance, growing their own food
within the territory of the metropolitan area (urban farming);
the ability to express peoples’ culture at large, placing art and
cultureat the heart of social practice;
the integration between the built environment and the natural
environment.
17. Need jobs, and income, and a sound local
economic development policy.
Of course,, we contend that while the current
system is broken, both economically and
spatially, the process of urban transformation we
are suggesting may support a new model of
economic growth based on true value,
higher human creativity and a regulatory
system that would maximize economic yields,
including employment, while minimizing waste
and speculation. [AQUE ENTRA A POLÍTICA
ESTRUTURAL]
18. Two Different Problems
the failure of 20th century
planning
the global economic and
environmental crisis
19. The Failure of 20th Century
Planning Approach
This approach assumes a clean slate
[ARDÓSIA LIMPA/TERRA ARRASADA] as a
starting point and may serve as a template for
creating new patterns of spatial development in
parts of the world engaged in building brand
new metropolitan regions adjacent to
current cities or in rare cases, in the middle
of nothing.
20. the global economic and
environmental crisis
We will focus onspecific urban functions to
illustrate the kind of new urban strategies
that could deal with the current economic crisis,
alleviate the global environmental crisis, and
induce new forms of urban life that would
be people-centered rather than profit-
centered.
21. PART 2

FOR THE POLYCENTRIC CITY
NEW TRANSPORTATION &
LAND USE POLICIES
23. NEW TRANSPORTATION
& LAND USE POLICIES
Moving People, Saving
Energy, Cleaning the Air
24. The 21st Century
Multimodal Transportation
System
The economic prosperity of a region is
directly proportional to this matrix of
movement.
25. The 21st Century
Multimodal Transportation
System
The quality and number of connections
created by people to people and people to
information is an essential factor of
productivity.
26. The 21st Century
Multimodal Transportation System
An idea based economy will never outdate
the need for transporting goods to the
users.
27. The 21st Century
Multimodal Transportation
System: Solutions and Angles
i) The level of infrastructural possibilities;
ii) The quality of the individual carriages;
iii) To address the overall need and
distance of travel.
28. Infrastructural Possibilities
Looking at cities across the globe, clearly the most
miserably ineffective ones are the ones that rely on a
single mode of transportation, usually the
surface street catering to the automobile with the bus as
its onlyalternative. [...] In contrast, the cities that have
at least two existing modalities, such as surface
streets and a thorough subway or light rail systems
already function exponentially better than their mono-
transportation counterparts.
.
29. infrastructural
possibilities
Cities with dual systems are able to
absorb higher urban densities
without collapse and they provide
residents with options that fit and include
a more diverse range of social classes and
personal circumstances.
30. infrastructural
possibilities
The higher urban density allows for people to
live closer to work and the transportation
options help people effectively avoid
unnecessary financial and personal
hardship (dificuldade) over their mobility.
This is a key factor in giving people and a city its
competitive edge and providing its region with
economic prosperity.
31. The Infrastructural Interventions
They are the creation of a multi-modal transportation
network. [This new network is to be superimposed over the
existing infrastructure]
In other words, existing cuts through the city fabric (major roads,
freeways, etc) would now be utilized for multiple purposes,
rather than the current mono function, in a multi-tiered
approach
33. The multi-modal highway and
freeway solutions
The alternate modalities are to be
superimposed over large thorough streets
and freeways [?!!] by creating an upper
level street in a way to maximize the
benefits and minimize the disadvantages
of each mode.
34. The multi-modal highway and
freeway solutions
The most pleasant modalities in terms of
least noise and pollution and greatest
esthetic value get the most privileged
position, the top.
35. Quality of vessels
i) Intelligent city cars,
ii) smart motorcycles
Iii) Self charging electric bicycles.
36. Landuse and the Need and
Distance of Travel
PROBLEMA
Metropolitan transportation depends on
the structure of transportation flows that
ultimately depends on land use patterns
dictated by the interests of real estate
developers.
37. Landuse and the Need and
Distance of Travel
SOLUÇÃO
To increase the multifunctionality of sub-
metropolitan urban areas, so that
residences, services, commercial facilities,
and jobs, are clustered, thus limiting travel
between mono-functional spatial units.
38. Landuse and the Need and
Distance of Travel
SOLUÇÃO
The polycentric metropolis should establish a
regulatory framework that would allow the mixed
uses of space, would sharply curtail the exclusive
residential uses of certain areas, and would limit the
concentration of services and retail shopping in freeway
dependent mega-centers. In other words, zoning should
not be left to the local planning agencies but should be
designed on a metropolitan scale, taking into
account the transportation consequences of landuse
patterns.
41. Creative Re-use of Failed
Economic-Spatial Models
the re-use of existing built structures that
lose functionality under the conditions of
an economy characterized by the crisis of
financialand real estate corporations, and
by a substantial reduction of consumption
levels.
42. Creative Re-use of Failed
Economic-Spatial Models
We propose that the government should
include in the financial bailout
packages (Planos de Resgates) handed
to large corporations the right to manage
this corporate office space to rent it, at a
subsidized rate, for start up,
entrepreneurial business firms in the
knowledge services sector.
43. Creative Re-use of Failed
Economic-Spatial Models
We propose to convert failed strip malls
into mixed use housing, commercial and
communal services, and use their huge
parking lots for a gardened courtyard,
including some areas of community
farming.
