Decoding Connectivity: Thriving and Leading in the Internet of Everything WorldCisco Canada
Carlos Dominguez is the SVP of the Office of the Chairman & CEO at Cisco. He gave a presentation titled "Decoding Connectivity" about how connectivity is changing everything in the new, connected world. The presentation discussed how the Internet of Everything will connect people, processes, data and things. It also explained how exponential technologies are driving major changes and disruptions across all industries. Finally, it argued that to be successful in this new environment, companies must adapt, prioritize innovation, and establish a culture open to change.

The document provides information about community centers, including their functions, history, and case studies. Community centers are public locations where community members gather for activities and social support. They can host celebrations, meetings, and family events. Historically, the first community centers were established in the 1940s-50s in Singapore and the 1960s-70s in Australia to foster community development. The case studies describe the Firstenburg Community Center in Vancouver, which incorporates recreational, community, and library spaces, and the Agha Khani community's use of jammat khannas as gathering places.
Promoting urban comfort in a compact futureSilvia Tavares
This document summarizes a study analyzing urban comfort in Christchurch, New Zealand before and after earthquakes damaged the city center. It assessed indicators of urban living, social/retreat spaces, local identity, recreation/gardening, and adaptation at three points: pre-earthquake, during temporary sites post-earthquake, and under the current blueprint/landscape. While some indicators like connection to outdoors were maintained, others like various space types and microclimate consideration are unclear. The document concludes that subtle shifts in public space control, social character and building heights were not fully considered, and recommends improvements like more small, wind-protected spaces and regulating north-facing building heights.
The document discusses the importance of walkability and how development regulations and design standards can promote it. It notes that many trips are short distances that could be walked or biked, but current infrastructure often requires automobile use. The Planning Commission is working on a Bicycle/Pedestrian Plan to identify needs and gather input on standards to make the community more accessible to all. Walkable, connected places can address challenges like health, the economy, and sense of place.

This document is Peter Winch's urban planning portfolio from 2017. It includes summaries and diagrams from several of his past projects in locations such as Abu Dhabi, Detroit, Turlock, San Diego, Palmdale, Pacifica, Venice, Chicago, Portland, Mumbai, and New England. The portfolio shows his work in areas like public realm implementation strategies, station area planning, general plan updates, transit-oriented development frameworks, and rethinking transportation infrastructure. It provides examples of his approach to shaping places by analyzing resources, patterns, and guiding development in a sustainable, beautiful, and humane way.
Innovative changes to urban areas are occuring rapidly, spurred by social media connectivity that has launched "livability" initiatives that are adding parks, green plants, bike lanes, and other transportation and environmental enhancements to cities. The goal is both to enhance their own living area while also attracting residents back to urban cities. Much of the change, when you think about it, is actually a suburbanization of cities. People living in the suburbs already have green all around them, whether it is their own yards or the big park down the street and along their drive to work or in their school playgrounds. Urbanists want that sense of fresh air and ability to connect and meet with neighbors more easily. Hence, the suburbanization of urban areas, creating meeting areas and bringing more green to the city.
This document discusses smart, creative placemaking and provides examples of projects that incorporate digital technologies into public spaces. It begins with a brief history of placemaking and defines creative placemaking as strategically shaping public spaces through arts and cultural activities.

The document aims to explore how smart technologies can enhance placemaking and public experiences in cities.

Gena McCullough, Bi-State Regional Commission (IL/IA); Jennifer Tinsley, Lower Savannah Council of Governments (SC); Elijah Sharp, New River Valley Regional Commission (VA); Mari Brunner, Southwest Regional Planning Commission (NH); Julio Portillo, River Valley Regional Commission (GA); Robby Cantrell, North Central Alabama Regional Council of Governments.
The document is an overview of the upcoming NACTO Urban Street Design Guide, which will provide principles and best practices for designing urban streets. It outlines that the guide will discuss designing streets for multiple purposes, including as public spaces, for business activity, and for safety. It emphasizes that streets can be changed and redesigned through low-cost temporary improvements to test designs. The guide will categorize street design based on street width rather than conventional functional classifications.
This document outlines a course on strategies for connecting transit and active transportation. It discusses challenges in implementing such projects, including public opposition and perceptions. Examples of successful projects from New York City, Auckland, Vancouver, and Edmonton are provided. The presenter emphasizes building a strong business case by thoroughly analyzing potential traffic impacts, considering constructability, and planning for ongoing operations and maintenance. New resources for project evaluation like NACTO guidelines are also presented. The overall message is that proponents must address common concerns while challenging conventional engineering approaches.
Presentation by Rick Hall, PE at Great Streets-Healthy Communities program hosted by ULI Memphis and the University of Memphis Partnership for Active Community Environments in Memphis, TN on April 21, 2010.
Chris Mullins presented an analysis of the optimal location for a new transmission line between Manatee and Sarasota counties in Florida. The analysis found: (1) the proposed corridor avoids conservation lands and wetlands, impacting less than 1% of wetlands in the study area; (2) the corridor impacts approximately 34 homes directly and 49 homes within 400 feet but avoids populated areas; (3) there are no schools or daycares within a quarter mile of the corridor. The presentation concluded the proposed corridor would have minimal environmental and community impacts and increase energy availability at a reasonable cost.

Key Drivers
- Cities are problems of ‘organized complexity’
- Smart cities are ‘learning cities’
- Public interests are evolving
- Any zoning code must be a living document
- Influence of “Tactical Urbanism”
- We already do so, but in an ad-hoc way (variance, rezoning)

- How do we staff the zoning counter of the future?
- How do we build ‘feedback loops’ into our processes?
- Is your zoning code future-proof?

Key Drivers
- Design is a growth-industry in zoning
- Design innovation does not bloom under design control
- People seek ‘signs of life’ in cities + neighbourhoods
- Design community seeks opportunities for expression
- Allowing for design flexibility = an important feedback loop

Joi Ito’s Plan For Urban
Innovation: “Let A
Thousand Weirdos Bloom”
Instead of planning for an urban renewal, the head of MIT’s Media Lab says
cities should just get out of the way and make it easier for young and
interesting people to do what they do best: innovate.
Ever since Richard Florida published The Rise of the Creative Class, back in 2002, urban
planners have been hot to find the secret key to unleashing innovation (and its
attendant jobs) in their cities.
Is it all about attracting gays (perhaps Florida’s most newsworthy prescription at the
time. What a difference a decade makes!)? Artists? Techies? And, more importantly, if a
city doesn’t already have a home-base of such “creatives," what can city fathers do to
attract it?
Joi Ito, the director of MIT’s famed Media Lab, has a different idea: Find what talent
already exists in your city, the more iconoclastic the better, and then nurture it without

Find your own weirdos, and figure out
how to amplify them.
