The document discusses major world challenges including population growth, protection of natural resources, pollution, urbanization, and sustainability. It notes that world population is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050, increasing demands on infrastructure, resources, and the environment. Rapid urbanization is straining cities as they struggle to provide housing, services, and adapt existing infrastructure for growing populations, including over 1 billion people living in slums. The challenges outlined threaten to degrade the environment if not addressed through sustainable solutions.

21st century cities: smart cities in India, or how to develop future citiesAzamat Abdoullaev
The success or failure in meeting the world’s most pressing challenges will be decided in cities, which are reaching a tipping point on many issues:
poor governance and weak institutions (#1 perceived impediment to prosperity);
inadequate infrastructure (US$78tn of investments needed over the next 10 years);
rising inequality (1bn living in poverty in cities, 75% of cities worse off than 20 years ago; housing (881mn living in slums, 1bn new homes needed in cities);
crime (top concern for citizens); environmental challenges (cities occupy 2-3% of land mass but account for 75% of natural resource use and emissions, 70% are already dealing with the effects of climate change);
and new and pervasive risks (terrorism, higher securitisation, disease and pandemics) (source: UN-Habitat, UN, World Bank); 21st Century Cities: Global Smart Cities Primer, Bank of America, ML, 2017].

Co-hosted by the OECD and the Ministry of Housing, City and Territory of Colombia, in the framework of the ongoing OECD Urban Policy Review of Colombia, and as part of the OECD policy dialogues on COVID-19 recovery and resilience in cities and regions, this webinar brought together policy-makers from across the OECD to discuss how their cities and regions are tackling long-term structural challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis, such as low productivity and employment levels, inequalities, weakening public trust, and mounting pressure to tackle climate change. The webinar provided an opportunity to exchange experiences and draw lessons to inspire place-based innovative policies to foster economic growth, well-being and resilience.

Elementary & Auxiliary Strategies Imparting Smartness to a cityAntara Nandy
The buzz word smart-city has gained momentum in the recent few months owing to the nation-wide programs launched by the Indian government. According to the sources, a smart city is defined as a city that provides all the modern facilities to ease the lifestyle of the people. Further, it must ensure the safety of the environment and conserve energy and other natural resources. This paper presents a comprehensive report on the elements and strategies that need to be implemented for a city to be considered as a smart city. It contains a report on the various futuristic plans and measures that the Indian government has formulated to turn the concept of smart cities into reality. The paper also intends to describe the roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders in the actualization of the smart cities.
How Smart Cities In India Responded to the COVID - 19 Pandemicaakash malhotra
The first step in addressing the pandemic was the Government implementing a complete lockdown. Smart cities post the strongest support in efforts to combat the disease. Technological innovations boosted during the lockdown. Innovative ways to collaborate and respond to the crisis were set in place by forty-five smart cities. Database keeping track of the entire country helped to contain the virus. Smart cities turned their control rooms into a Covid - 19 War room. Smart cities did all the tracing, tracking, updating test and quarantine protocols, managing lockdown, safe access to health systems and making sure helpline operations functioned twenty-four seven.

Le concept Smart City connaît aujourd’hui un très grand intérêt à travers le monde.
Une récente enquête en France montre que près de la moitié des collectivités sont engagées dans un projet de Smart City. Plus d’un millier de villes en Europe, aux Etats-Unis, en Inde et en Chine portent déjà des projets de ce type. L’Afrique, qui connaît aujourd’hui une très forte urbanisation, montre aussi un grand intérêt pour ce concept. La question se pose, pourquoi tant d‘intérêt ? Que signifie ce concept ? Est-ce que la Smart City est la solution « miracle » pour les nombreux défis que rencontrent nos villes ? et enfin, comment réussir un projet « Smart City » ? Cet article tente d’apporter des éléments de réponses à ces questions. Il présente d’abord les défis liés à la transformation urbaine et les difficultés à y faire face. Ensuite, il présente le concept Smart City et discute de la façon dont il peut aider à faire face aux défis de la ville et dont on peut réussir son implémentation.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
