Current climate planning needs better tools for showing how urban design and development locations impact energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and other environmental factors. New urbanists are developing an approach based on place-types as this breakthrough tool. Learn about the CNU model, which shows how recognizable place types are the building blocks of regions that determine resulting VMT and other aspects of environmental and energy performance.

The document describes the Florida Public Officials Design Institute, which provides training to elected officials from local communities on sustainable development and design. The Institute aims to help communities address issues like climate change, reduce sprawl, and improve quality of life. Officials participate in a design process for a site in their own community, working with experts. The program has led to implemented recommendations and design standards that encourage sustainability.
This document summarizes presentations from a conference on form-based codes. It discusses form-based codes from Blue Springs, Missouri and West Evanston, Illinois that divide areas into transect zones and include building typologies. It also summarizes Dallas' transition from a conventional zoning code to a new form-based code with districts, building types, permitted uses, and streetscape standards designed to enable transit-oriented development. The new Dallas code acts as a set of optional base zoning districts rather than mandated location-specific changes.
As communities turn from sprawl and work to retrofit existing districts and corridors, misfits between street and land use types often compromise livability, sustainability, and economic development. We’ll look at how some cities have responded by designing streets that go beyond the conventional arterial-collector-local street classification system and have implemented innovative streets with flexible spaces and uses - often overlapping the single-use functions of typical street "zoning." Presentation delivered at CNU 17, Denver, CO on June 12, 2009.
The document discusses urban planning efforts in Abu Dhabi, UAE that aim to implement principles of the New Urbanism. An international team of experts was assembled to create comprehensive plans for Abu Dhabi and its regions through 2030. The plans focus on creating walkable, mixed-use communities integrated with nature and reflective of Arab culture, while allowing for sustainable and measured growth.
A well-written form-based code can ensure that the community vision is actually what gets built. This session includes an awards presentation and in-depth analysis of the 2009 Driehaus Form-Based Code Award winners. Discover the exemplary features of each winner, and hear about the lessons learned from the winning communities.

The document discusses Vancouver's efforts to become a more sustainable, livable, and vibrant city through policies like EcoDensity that promote density done well. It outlines how Vancouver is focusing on walkability, cycling infrastructure, transit, design quality, and amenities to support density. The goal of being carbon neutral by 2030 and the "greenest city in the world by 2020" is mentioned. Successful projects that achieved sustainable density through approaches like laneway housing are highlighted.

It also describes HUD's partnerships with other agencies and new FY2010 initiatives including an Energy Innovation Fund and Sustainable Communities Initiative.
Public housing in the United States has changed significantly over time. Originally conceived as temporary housing for low-income families, today's public housing consists of both traditional housing projects and housing vouchers used to rent private units. While public housing still provides homes for many low-income families, it now focuses more on self-sufficiency and mixed-income communities rather than large isolated housing projects of the past.
The document discusses a panel on opportunities for innovation in affordable housing between the Congress for the New Urbanism (CNU) and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The panel features presentations from Elinor Bacon, President of E.R. Bacon Development, Michael Freedberg of HUD, and Sunia Zaterman, Executive Director of CLPHA. It is moderated by Ray Gindroz and includes responses from experts in urban design. The panel explores how the past collaboration between HUD and CNU through the HOPE VI program advanced sustainable neighborhood design and how those lessons can be applied today. It also discusses the goal of forming an initiative team to develop an ongoing collaboration between CNU and

The document discusses Scotland's history with urban planning from King David I in the 12th century who established law and order and promoted trade, to the modern Scottish Sustainable Communities Initiative. It notes planning's reputation as a technical world obscured from laymen and challenges with building consensus to tackle big problems. The conclusion reflects on Scotland's urban tradition providing inspiration for meeting new environmental and economic challenges through innovative solutions like the Scottish Sustainable Communities Initiative, but cautions the line between vision and hallucination is fine.
Charlotte is a growing city that relies on its Department of Transportation (CDOT) to serve over 683,000 residents daily. CDOT plays a key role in creating a livable community through its focus on transit-oriented development around centers, corridors, and neighborhoods. The presentation highlights CDOT's rapid transit improvements like the successful LYNX Blue Line and plans for the North Corridor Commuter Rail and Blue Line Extension. It also discusses policies, zoning, and development tracking to encourage housing and mixed-use development near transit that has generated substantial investment and tax revenue. Lessons learned emphasize the importance of coordination between different stakeholders to successfully implement transit-oriented development.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
