London maintains a competitive advantage as a global business center, but faces challenges retaining this position long-term. While London has world-class assets in industries like finance, professional services, and technology, it requires massive investment in infrastructure to support projected population growth. However, London also risks inequality increasing, climate change impacts, and losing competitive advantage if the UK and Europe's economic integration weakens. Overall, London is well-positioned to remain competitive if it plays to its strengths in diversity and knowledge-based industries, but managing its expansion and relationships with other UK regions will be crucial.

Sustainable Cities Index 2016 Global WebLisa Campbell
The 2016 Sustainable Cities Index ranks 100 global cities based on their performance across three pillars of sustainability: social (people), environmental (planet), and economic (profit). Zurich ranks first overall by scoring highly in planet and profit, though it reveals a split personality by ranking lower for people. Well-established European cities dominate the top 15, while Asian financial hubs rank highly for profit but lower for people. Cities in emerging economies generally rank lower, facing sustainability challenges across all pillars. To improve, city leaders should balance social, environmental and economic needs by putting people at the heart of sustainability plans.

It highlights two learning experiences from early in his career - making an error in design calculations that was caught by a site engineer, and receiving guidance from his boss on properly designing brick structures. The boss handled the error calmly and taught the author through demonstrating designs. Overall it provides insights into the author's first decade in the field.
This document provides information about mapping in India. It includes details on the sizes of India, Punjab state, Ludhiana district, and Ludhiana city. It notes that major contributors to mapping are limited to four. Issues mentioned include the need to generate requirements and job opportunities as current satellite imagery has poor resolution. Suggestions include adding maps to cards and allowing addition of custom data and units.
The document discusses establishing the Structural Engineers Association of Punjab and Chandigarh (SEAPAC). SEAPAC would serve as a common platform and necessity for structural engineers in the region by defining serviceability, design loads, available materials, and structural systems. The objective of SEAPAC would be to cater to the overall professional needs of structural engineers in Punjab and Chandigarh through activities like continuing education programs.

1. What makes a city better than any
other one? Are you sure that your
rankings work for everybody? I used
to live in some of the better-
considered cities in the world. I was
not happier than when I lived in some
other places situated much lower in

Zürich (2) rather than Madrid (48) ?
No way.
2. The best city rating for MELBOURNE
should be withdrawn immediately.

5. There is a hot debate as to how

two Asian cities feature in the top 40

31. One day, the father of a very wealthy
family took his son on a trip to the country
with the express purpose of showing him
how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights
on the farm of what would be considered
a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father
asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"Did you see how poor people live?" the

"Oh yeah," said the son.

trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:

had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the
middle of our garden and they have a
creek that has no end.
We have imported lights in our garden
and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and
they have the whole horizon.

and they have fields that go beyond our
sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they
serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to
protect us, they have friends to protect
them."
