This document discusses autonomy and complexity through examples from Greece and Ecuador. It examines initiatives and projects in both countries that explore bottom-up and top-down approaches to governance, including universities, research centers, parks, and communities working on open knowledge, rights to land, and sustainable living. Case studies highlighted include Yachay and IKIAM in Ecuador, Navarinou Park and Elpidohori in Greece, and how they investigate autonomous and complex social systems through both grassroots and institutional frameworks.

WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities

The Global New Climate Economy Partnership is a commission comprising former heads of government and other leaders, chaired by Felipe Calderón and Nicholas Stern. It aims to demonstrate that tackling climate change is an opportunity for better growth. The commission's research shows that compact, connected cities focused on public transport, energy efficiency and renewable energy can reduce emissions while saving $3 trillion in infrastructure costs by 2030. The commission recommends that countries prioritize smarter urban development, give cities more autonomy, reform taxes and regulations, redirect infrastructure spending, strengthen planning and explore new financing models to support low-carbon growth.

This document provides information about a 2016 summer exchange program between the University of Western Ontario and Tianjin University in China. It describes a potential crystal caking inhibition project that would be undertaken at Tianjin University's School of Chemical Engineering and Technology under the supervision of Professor Junbo Gong. The project aims to establish methods and models to measure surface free energy parameters in order to better understand and inhibit the agglomeration and caking of crystal particles using Lifshitz-van der Waals acid-base theory. Over the summer exchange, the student would work to understand fundamental theories, measure surface energy parameters of mixed and pure liquids, establish mathematical models, and explain caking phenomena.

Futures, nature and common[ing] sense

Nicholas Anastasopoulos, PhD

This document outlines a research project led by Nicholas Anastasopoulos exploring futures, nature, and commoning in Ecuador. The project involves collaborators from Ecuador, England, Colombia, Spain, and the US examining how Ecuador can transition to a social knowledge-based economy grounded in the concepts of Rights to Nature and Sumak Kawsay/Buen Vivir introduced in Ecuador's constitution. The research will consider physical and immaterial commons, local and global commons, and how commoning sense can support a sustainable system through collective action and a different societal ethos compared to unsustainable global practices.

The collapse of illuminist idea of progress

Fernando Alcoforado

The document discusses the collapse of the Enlightenment idea of progress. It argues that while science and technology have improved lives in some ways, they have also increased dangers and harms to humanity and the planet. The overall conclusion is that unchecked scientific and technological development could lead to sinister uses that damage humanity. The document examines several thinkers and their views that modern society has become too complex, interconnected and reliant on fragile systems, making collapse nearly inevitable. It warns that catastrophic issues like pandemics, resource depletion and climate change could occur if humanity does not establish democratic global governance to control chaotic threats and build a sustainable world society.

Anthropocene Pros And Cons

April Dillard

This document discusses the Anthropocene era, defined by humanity's impact on the environment. It argues that significant human influences like the colonization of the Americas in the 16th century introduced diseases and species to new regions, increasing global biodiversity but also spreading pathogens. The growth of capitalism and global trade through vehicles like Spanish silver further connected people and altered humanity's relationship with nature. Overall, the document examines how human activities over past centuries have fundamentally changed ecosystems worldwide and signals the beginning of the Anthropocene epoch.

Julie Kwhl

This document discusses how globalization has led to rapid industrialization and modernization by providing organizations access to new ideas, technology, skills, and foreign investment. It has given companies a new perspective in terms of strategic planning and thinking globally. Many emerging economies and their businesses have benefited greatly from opportunities in international trade and outsourcing enabled by globalization. However, it has also increased inequality in some countries as population growth sometimes outpaces job creation. The document uses Infosys, a major Indian software company, as a case study of a business that has found success through industrial globalization.

Brad Allenby gave a lecture on technology and the reconstruction of the world from human to transhuman. Some key points: 1) We live in an "Anthropocene" age dominated by human impacts like cities, technology, and cultural/economic systems that influence the planet. The earth's spectrum now carries our technological signature. 2) Technologies are integrated cultural processes, not just things, that drive wide-ranging social, economic, and environmental changes. The railroad is used as an example of a technology that transformed landscapes, markets, and ideas. 3) Emerging technologies like synthetic biology will further blur the lines between nature and culture, making biodiversity and biological systems increasingly subject to human design choices and

History of Nature 7b Spaceship Earth.pdf

John Wilkins

This document discusses the metaphor of the Earth as a spaceship and how thinkers throughout history have used this metaphor. It mentions that the idea of spaceship Earth was discussed as early as 1879 by Henry George in his book Progress and Poverty. Later thinkers like George Orwell and Adlai Stevenson also invoked the metaphor. The document then discusses how systems theory views the Earth's ecosystems, economies, and human systems as interconnected complex networks and emphasizes the need to understand them as such in order to ensure the sustainability and resilience of the whole system.

Introduction to Biourbanism. Epistemology for a new Architecture, by Antonio...

International Society of Biourbanism

This document provides an introduction to biourbanism. It begins by discussing the mechanistic worldview that developed from Cartesian and Newtonian physics, which viewed the world as a machine composed of basic parts. It then outlines how recent developments in fields like complexity theory, evolution, and neuroscience provide an alternative view of the world as interconnected dynamic systems. Biourbanism aims to apply these new scientific insights to architecture and urban planning to create human-centered built environments based on principles of networks, patterns, and scale found in nature. The document argues this approach can help address issues like pollution, inequality and unsustainability created by the current urban planning paradigm.

Internet of things and the metamorphosis of objects - rick bouter , gérald ...

Rick Bouter

Where in prior times technique was referring to: “a method of accomplishing a desired aim”, today we speak more of technology. Technology has long been presented as a set of techniques; today it has become more than a method to accomplish a desired aim. From now on, we live in ‘the age of makers’. In times when there are more people with mobile phone access than toothbrushes, everyone has the ability to start up a million euro business from behind the kitchen table. Technology does not only affect business any longer; it also affects culture, politics, society and every element we value in life. Maybe most important of all, it affects the human race as we know it today. For the reason technology will impact the way we have lived for ages, it is legitimate to ask whether there is an intersection where humans and objects will find a mutually beneficial coexistence, or whether one of these entities will rule over the other, or whether there will be an alliance between the human race and some sort of technology that represents a global connected world brain. Will technology be, like in prior times, a collection of methods to accomplishing a desired aim, or will the human race be enslaved by technology and ruled by the artificial intelligence embedded in it?
