China cities rev4
Chinese cities face the challenges of high-speed urbanization, social harmony, environmental quality, and sustainability. Urban sustainability involves heritage, tradition, and ensuring cities are places where families can meet. Chinese cities need to deal with heritage/history and ensuring development considers people over just architecture or the environment. A new paradigm is needed based on principles focusing on people and communities. Historic cities can serve as a reference, promoting cultural identity through neighborhood concepts with common areas and local markets for people to gather. Manhattan-style development is not suitable for China's society given its strong family values and sense of community.
Introduction
Early humans transitioned to more permanent settlements around 8,000-10,000 years ago after developing agriculture and animal domestication, allowing for food surpluses. Cities emerged during the 4th millennium BC once writing, more complex social organization, and technological advances like the plow and pottery wheel were achieved. A city is defined sociologically as having a large, concentrated population governed under one entity. Attributes of a good city include reliable access to water, affordable housing and services, fire protection, medical care, social programs, and a strong sense of community and economy.

Turkey kb global ageing and urbanization
The document discusses key trends of global aging and urbanization and their implications. It notes that by 2050, over 20% of the global population will be over 60, older people will outnumber children for the first time, and 80% of older people will live in developing countries. It also discusses the rapid growth of cities, with urban populations in developing countries set to multiply over 16 times. The document advocates for active aging and age-friendly communities and cities that support health, participation and quality of life for older adults.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL AND MULTILAYER DIMENSIONS OF EVOLVING CITIES FOR A SUSTAINAB...Sai Bhaskar Reddy Nakka
Cities are growing at a rapid phase, due to exponential growth of populations all over the world. The world population might stabilize by 2070 after reaching the peak population levels of about 9 billion. Already the urban population, living mostly in cities has reached 50% of the world population. Cities in the last few centuries have evolved coping with changes in social, economic, cultural, aesthetics, utility, historical, political, natural and environmental factors. There is always an interface between the interests of old and new generations of people sharing the same space. The buildings have more life than the people living in them. Each building is at least able to provide space for at least two generations. The comfort levels of one generation and the next are different in same space. There are often changes brought with time in any building. Similarly the infrastructure is also changing at a rapid phase as the transportation means and systems are changing. The access to power, drinking water, and open spaces for cultural and social events, educational institutions, markets, etc. also impacts the living space. The security and basic amenities are the main factors of consideration for not moving away from the congested cities. There is always an overlap of old and new adaptation factors, creating resilience for coexistence. The remembrance of a space and events in once own life time impact the people, and they love to continue in similar space. There is a kind of energy that one gets, while returning to the same space, it is often seen that the old people prefer living in the space they are used to and they often live longer too. There are emotions too acting up on the life of the people. Considering all the above factors, each city can be considered a single organism, having its own identity and also there are various diverse spaces within it. It is like a human body single living things, but various parts of the human body function for the happiness of the whole. There is a need to understand multifunctional and multilayer dimensions of the cities, for making a sustainable living in the cities.Enbe project report
This document is a report by Wong De-Vin about their final project to design a better livable town. It discusses the requirements of the two-part project, which involves producing a report and video about a future town (Part A), and building a model and presentation boards as part of a group (Part B). It also provides background information on what defines cities and towns historically and currently, including factors like population size, administration, and identity. The report examines examples of ancient and modern settlements to understand the key elements that make a place livable and give it a distinct identity as a city.
Brendan Meney_PhD Sub v2a-25_sept_15
Brendan Meney is applying for a PhD in Architecture to research designing and building in remote Aboriginal communities through self-empowerment. His research will explore alternative approaches that give Aboriginal people greater autonomy over their living environments. He will draw on his 30 years of experience working in Central Australia to develop a methodology for empowering communities to make their own decisions about shelter. The research aims to produce a case study demonstrating how communities can build local capacity and reduce reliance on governments through stronger partnerships and alternative housing programs. Meney's methodology will include examining past projects to understand the influences on his practice and identify lessons learned, as well as validating aspects of his work that exemplify a better approach.
Urban
1) New York City may be losing its status as the nation's economic capital to rising cities in Southern California, the Bay Area, and Seattle due to the digital revolution and these cities' leadership in industries like technology and media.
2) While New York faces stiff competition, Mike Clough believes the experience New York has developing a vision for America's economy will help maintain its status, as seen by companies like AOL-Time Warner keeping headquarters in New York.
3) Emerging global cities like those in Asia have the potential to experience unprecedented growth but also face challenges from issues like providing adequate energy and managing large wealth gaps between urban and suburban residents.

Lesson Two Urbanisation In L E D Cs
The document summarizes urbanization in less economically developed countries (LEDCs) and its consequences. It describes that over 1 billion people live in urban slums, with the highest concentration in Asia where 60% of the world's slums are located. In the slums of Manila, Philippines, over 40% of the urban population live in dense, unsanitary conditions. The document profiles three families living in difficult circumstances in Tondo, one of the poorest and most overcrowded slum areas of Manila, and discusses the problems faced by slum communities including inadequate and unsafe housing, lack of basic services, and insecure land tenure.

6. People Changing Places: George Ferguson Presentation
The document discusses creating sustainable places through urban planning principles. It outlines a manifesto for good urbanism that establishes a high quality of living, nurtures a healthy way of life, and supports economic and cultural activity through robust, distinctive, and sustainable environments. It provides examples from European cities like Malmo and Freiburg and discusses lessons around understanding community, connectivity, walkability, culture, and managing activity to create more sustainable futures.
Urban problems in big cities
This document discusses urban problems in large cities of developed countries. As people moved from rural areas to cities for jobs and improved standards of living, urban populations rapidly increased. This growth led to issues like crime, homelessness, traffic congestion, high housing costs, and environmental pollution in city centers. Outer suburbs faced problems like expensive commuting and crime. Inner cities struggled with racial tensions, unemployment as factories closed, poor housing, and a lack of amenities and services. The rural-urban fringe also saw crime and expensive housing. These economic, social, environmental, and housing stresses created cycles of poverty that governments and communities worked to overcome.

The Future City Competition allows middle school students to design future cities through simulation software, research an engineering problem, build a scale model using recycled materials, and present their ideas to judges. Students work in teams, mentored by an educator and engineer, to envision economically, socially, environmentally, and culturally sustainable cities that address challenges like inequality, infrastructure, pollution, and cultural cohesion. The document then discusses current problems facing cities and a proposed solution framework before outlining global challenges and immediate economic, social, environmental, and cultural hurdles cities face.
Re conn
The document discusses problems faced by expanding cities such as lack of electricity, water, healthcare, and transport as well as increased pollution, crime, and illiteracy. It also notes problems villages face when people emigrate like loss of traditional culture and crafts, insufficient farm labor, and inability to sustain themselves. However, villagers migrate to cities for better quality of life, education, jobs, opportunities, resources, and healthcare. The document concludes that developing villages to be self-sustaining and provide new opportunities could solve problems faced by both cities and villages.
Urbanisation
This document discusses characteristics of urban areas and the process of urbanization. It defines urbanization as an increase in the proportion of the population living in urban areas and engaging in non-agricultural activities. Factors that contribute to urbanization include population increase, industrialization, and the location of resources. The problems of urbanization include economic issues like unemployment and poverty; social issues like crime and family breakdown; infrastructural issues with shortages of housing, schools, and transportation; and administrative challenges of controlling crime and traffic. Solutions proposed include improving conditions in rural areas to reduce migration to cities and expanding infrastructure, housing, education and employment opportunities in urban areas.
Whd concept notes 2020
1) Housing is a fundamental human right, but over 1 billion people live in inadequate housing such as slums or as homeless. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this global housing crisis by making adequate housing essential for public health.
2) People living in inadequate housing like slums have been hit hardest by the pandemic due to crowded conditions and lack of basic services, facing increased health and safety risks. While governments have provided some temporary protections, long-term policy changes are needed.
3) World Habitat Day 2020 provides an opportunity to discuss transforming housing policy to build back societies better after COVID-19. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of access to adequate housing for all as part of sustainable, inclusive urban

Planet of slums
This document discusses the rapid growth of slums in developing world megacities. It notes that 95% of population growth will occur in urban areas in developing countries, causing cities to double in size within a generation. This rapid urbanization has outpaced infrastructure development and job growth, leading to a "mass production of slums." Today, over 1 billion people live in slums worldwide, characterized by overcrowding, lack of basic services, and insecure land tenure. Attempts by groups like the World Bank to improve slums through loans and infrastructure programs have faced challenges in reaching the poorest residents and preventing slum expansion. Slums also face dangers from unstable land and natural disasters due to poor construction on hazardous sites like hill

The document discusses factors that contribute to intelligent, sustainable, and livable cities. It covers the following key points in 3 sentences:
Letchworth Garden City in the UK and the work of planners Ebenezer Howard and Patrick Geddes are discussed as early examples of planned communities that integrated urban and rural amenities. Modern examples like Masdar City aim to be carbon and waste neutral through traditional design and advanced technologies. As urban populations grow rapidly, challenges include traffic, pollution, inequality and ensuring prosperity for future generations through sustainable planning of large cities and regions.
Socioloy and cultural communication for development
This document summarizes an international seminar on socio-cultural communication in development held in 2001. The seminar was arranged by Ansted University and presented various concepts of socio-cultural communication including how it relates to society, culture, communication, and development. It discussed objectives like identifying socio-cultural elements that reflect community values and updating community workers' skills through participatory techniques. Methodologies included participatory rural appraisal tools. The context discussed definitions of society, culture, communication, and development from various sources. The document covered topics like communication processes, socio-cultural networks, and effects of socio-cultural communication on mass communication, social actions, and community strength.

RURAL GROWTH MILAN PRESENTATION
This document discusses opportunities for rural growth and outlines a proposed research agenda. It identifies three types of rural regions and their main challenges. New technologies and business opportunities can provide rural dwellers with new sources of income if connectivity and skills are improved. The document proposes pulling together existing research findings, identifying rural assets like ecosystems services, and better communicating research to policymakers to help shape policy and investments that support rural growth. A phased approach is suggested starting with understanding contexts and potentials before establishing development strategies and addressing obstacles.
Eco bairros - Sustainability City
This document defines sustainable communities and identifies their key components. It begins by stating that sustainable communities meet existing and future residents' needs while promoting environmental protection, social inclusion, and economic prosperity.
It then discusses the definition of sustainable communities that was developed, which includes 7 key components: social/cultural, governance, environmental, housing/built environment, transport/connectivity, economy, and services. Each component is then described in more detail.
The document also discusses measuring progress toward sustainable communities through a set of performance indicators representing the 7 components. It states that these indicators can help set targets and track progress over time toward creating more sustainable places to live.

Sustainable Cities
The document discusses the search for sustainable cities over time. It explores ideas from early thinkers like Ebenezer Howard's Garden Cities, Patrick Geddes' concept of viewing the city as a whole, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Broadacre City. More modern approaches included Ian McHarg's design with nature, Chris Canfield's symbiotic communities, and Michael Corbett's ecological village homes. The document also examines permaculture cities, transit-oriented new urbanism, compact and regenerative cities, and cities with circular metabolisms and green infrastructure. It concludes that sustainable cities integrate nature and community, do not exceed environmental limits, and are holistic, diverse, and regenerative systems.
CREATING COLABORATIVE AND CREATIVE COMMUNITIES
Lala Deheinzelin discusses moving from an industrial economy based on scarce tangible resources to an exponential creative economy based on abundant intangible resources and collaboration. She argues we must focus on developing intangible assets like culture, knowledge, and desirable futures. Using new technologies and a distributed network approach can help make intangible resources visible and operational, establishing an exponential cycle of abundance.
Habitat agenda and global housing challenges
Cities are, and will remain, the centres of global finance, industry and communications, home to a wealth of cultural diversity and political dynamism, immensely productive, creative and innovative. However, they have also become breeding grounds for pollution and congestion. Unsustainable patterns of consumption among dense city populations, concentration of industries, intense economic activities, increased use of motor vehicles and inefficient waste management all suggest that the major environmental problems of the future will be city problems. Poor urban governance and bad policies have further exacerbated environmental degradation and deteriorating living conditions in many cities.
It is apparent that many governments are under−prepared and under−resourced in anticipating, planning and preparing for an urbanizing world. However, 1996 marked a turning point in international efforts to promote socially and environmentally sustainable cities. The Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II), held in Istanbul, Turkey, in June 1996, recognized that more holistic, inclusive and participatory policies, strategies and actions are required to make the world’s cities and communities safe, healthy and equitable. Habitat II, popularly known as the City Summit, was conceived as a conference of partnerships. It established a historic precedent by including in its deliberations representatives from local authorities, non−governmental organizations, the private sector, academia and other partner groups.

Sustainable Cities
The document discusses the search for sustainable cities over time. It explores ideas from early thinkers like Ebenezer Howard's Garden Cities, Patrick Geddes' concept of viewing the city as a whole, and Frank Lloyd Wright's Broadacre City. More modern approaches included Ian McHarg's design with nature, Chris Canfield's symbiotic communities, and Michael Corbett's ecological village homes. The document also examines permaculture cities, transit-oriented new urbanism, compact and regenerative cities, and cities with circular metabolisms and green infrastructure. It concludes that sustainable cities integrate nature and community, do not exceed environmental limits, and are holistic, diverse, and regenerative systems.
CREATING COLABORATIVE AND CREATIVE COMMUNITIES
Lala Deheinzelin discusses moving from an industrial economy based on scarce tangible resources to an exponential creative economy based on abundant intangible resources and collaboration. She argues we must focus on developing intangible assets like culture, knowledge, and desirable futures. Using new technologies and a distributed network approach can help make intangible resources visible and operational, establishing an exponential cycle of abundance.
Habitat agenda and global housing challenges
Cities are, and will remain, the centres of global finance, industry and communications, home to a wealth of cultural diversity and political dynamism, immensely productive, creative and innovative. However, they have also become breeding grounds for pollution and congestion. Unsustainable patterns of consumption among dense city populations, concentration of industries, intense economic activities, increased use of motor vehicles and inefficient waste management all suggest that the major environmental problems of the future will be city problems. Poor urban governance and bad policies have further exacerbated environmental degradation and deteriorating living conditions in many cities.
It is apparent that many governments are under−prepared and under−resourced in anticipating, planning and preparing for an urbanizing world. However, 1996 marked a turning point in international efforts to promote socially and environmentally sustainable cities. The Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II), held in Istanbul, Turkey, in June 1996, recognized that more holistic, inclusive and participatory policies, strategies and actions are required to make the world’s cities and communities safe, healthy and equitable. Habitat II, popularly known as the City Summit, was conceived as a conference of partnerships. It established a historic precedent by including in its deliberations representatives from local authorities, non−governmental organizations, the private sector, academia and other partner groups.

Sustainability through Informality
Cristina Dreifuss-Serrano
Abstract
In precarious environments, such as squatter settlements, sustainability can be achieved as an economic resource. It is important, however, to start with assuring a sense of belonging in the members of the communities. Through observation in squatter settlements and conversations with their inhabitants, this paper presents a view on informal sustainability through participative
processes. We argue that if we begin by looking at cultural sustainability, people’s sense of belonging becomes a key factor in taking care of the environment. We aim to demonstrate that even if squatter settlements are regarded as areas of conflict in terms of pollution, occupation of the land, and waste disposal, through informal processes people can achieve a degree of awareness that will not only result in sustainable practices, but that can also propose new creative ways to achieve them, with
economical considerations in mind.
Keywords: Cultural sustainability, informality, human development, squatter settlements, identity
Sustainable development
Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It is defined as balanced social, economic, and environmental development. The concept emerged in 1987 with the publication of the Brundtland Commission report. Achieving sustainable development requires changes in personal behaviors, consumption habits, and production processes. It also requires cooperation between individuals, companies, and governments. The document outlines six topics of sustainable development including sustainable places, climate change, people and nature, consumption and production, cultural identity, and sustainable transport.
Chapt14 Lecture
This chapter discusses various topics related to urbanization and sustainable development:
1) More than half of humans now live in cities, and that number is expected to reach three-quarters by 2050 as large cities continue expanding rapidly worldwide.
2) Many cities face issues like overcrowding, pollution, and lack of sufficient housing as they struggle to accommodate large populations. Slums and shantytowns often form on the outskirts of major cities in developing nations.
3) The chapter explores concepts like urban sprawl, smart growth, and sustainable development - which emphasizes meeting needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
Intelligent Sustainable Liveable Cities
Intelligent sustainable liveable cities aim to provide security, happiness, and a high quality of life for inhabitants through accessibility, economic opportunities, natural beauty, and social justice. Key components include compact development, mixed uses, walkability, renewable energy, green spaces, and engagement. Nature contact, community, health, jobs, freedom and equity influence well-being. Truly sustainable cities consider environmental, economic and social needs of current and future residents.
Future city
The document outlines plans for a proposed future sustainable eco-city in Malaysia called SMCity. It will focus on limiting environmental impact through public transportation, renewable energy, and waste reduction. The city aims to be walkable and place parks within two minutes of every home. SMCity will also have its own power plant using renewable resources and promote social integration through community design. The proposal discusses zoning areas, transportation hubs, and creating a modular grid framework to allow flexibility and expansion for the future eco-friendly city.
Public spaces in ancient period.
Public spaces played an important social role in ancient Greece and Rome. In ancient Greece, the agora served as a central public space in cities where citizens could gather for political and commercial activities. The agora exemplified the open and democratic nature of Greek society. In Rome, public spaces such as forums and baths were focal points for social and civic life. Over time, as professions evolved and industry developed, the importance of ancient public spaces like the Greek agora declined in Europe. However, public spaces still provide significant social, economic, health and community benefits.
David holmgren essence of permaculture
Permaculture is a design system that aims to integrate human settlements and agriculture into sustainable ecosystems modeled after natural ecologies. It takes a holistic approach, applying ethics and design principles to seven domains including land stewardship, built environment, community, and economics. The goal is to meet human needs through renewable resources by focusing on regenerative systems that conserve energy, water, and biodiversity. Permaculture emphasizes observing natural patterns and replicating them to create self-sustaining landscapes and communities. It has spread globally through the Permaculture Design Course and grassroots networks, though faces challenges from entrenched political and economic powers invested in the status quo.
Urban Sustainability - Vision & Public Perception
This document is a thesis submitted by Thuy Duong Pham in July 2011 for the Master Program on International Urban Development at VGU. The thesis examines urban sustainability visions and public perceptions in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It begins with an introduction that discusses the importance and challenges of urban sustainability as more people live in cities. The research aims to understand what makes a livable and sustainable city according to experts and public perceptions. The thesis uses a backcasting and systems approach to develop a holistic framework for urban sustainability. It presents findings on urban sustainability visions from experts and surveys perceptions of sustainability and urban development in HCMC. The conclusion recommends actions like poverty alleviation and education to progress toward a sustainable urban future.

Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.
