Hydropower, Anti-politics and the opening of new political spaces in the East...
This document discusses hydropower development in the Eastern Himalayas region of Sikkim, India. It argues that while hydropower is advocated as promoting green growth, the governance of hydropower projects often disregards social and environmental controversies surrounding dams. In Sikkim, state and private actors have tried to restrict public participation and opposition to hydropower projects through "anti-politics" tactics. However, this has led communities affected by dams to voice unprecedented opposition and demand participation, indicating new politicization and democratization processes emerging from grassroots activism.

This document summarizes a presentation about the Columbia River Treaty renegotiation and transboundary water governance. Some key points:
- The Columbia River Treaty was signed in 1961 and ratified in 1964 to coordinate flood control and hydropower generation on the river between Canada and the US. It is up for renegotiation/modernization in 2024.
- Regional recommendations for a modernized treaty focus on maintaining flood control, ensuring reliable hydropower, including ecosystem function as a third purpose, and adding flexibility for climate change.
- Lessons from other transboundary water agreements show the need for inclusion of Indigenous groups, consideration of environmental impacts, and aligning governance with public participation.

President sanchez speech to National Academies
The president gives a speech on the 20th anniversary of the millennial omnibus infrastructure bill. The bill showed that political parties could work together to address infrastructure issues facing the nation. Urban infrastructure has improved due to the bill and efforts of engineers. While population growth was projected to be higher, disasters and conflicts reduced the global population to 8 billion currently. Infrastructure issues in the late 20th century like decaying transit systems and pollution reached crisis levels. The 2001 attacks and later disasters highlighted the importance of resilient infrastructure systems. A new paradigm now recognizes infrastructure as integral to urban development and takes a comprehensive, long-term view of maintenance and emergency response.
AJPH.SmartGrowth
This document summarizes the key ideas of the Smart Growth movement, which aims to curb urban sprawl and encourage more sustainable community development. It discusses how sprawl has negatively impacted public health by promoting sedentary lifestyles and increased traffic accidents. The Smart Growth movement advocates for more compact, mixed-use development with diverse transportation options to make communities more walkable and bikeable. Examples of successful Smart Growth initiatives are provided at the local, state, and national level, including Portland, Oregon's light rail system and Milwaukee, Wisconsin's riverfront redevelopment.
Framing hydropower as green energy
This document summarizes a paper that examines hydropower development in the Eastern Himalayas region of Nepal and India. It questions the framing of hydropower as "green energy" and analyzes the risks and tensions associated with development. Specifically, the document notes that over 200 dams are planned for the region, but that climate change impacts like increased flow variability may undermine the reliability of baseline data used for infrastructure design. It also discusses how hydropower development intersects with climate change impacts and vulnerabilities in the region. Finally, the document outlines how contemporary hydropower initiatives rely more on private actors and financing compared to past development led by international financial institutions.
The Sacred Headwaters
Indigenous groups view the Sacred Headwaters region as integral to their spirituality and worldview, with the land representing their culture and beliefs. However, they see this worldview as threatened by resource extraction industries like mining, oil and gas, which could degrade the environment and disrupt salmon populations. While economic development is important, it should not come at the cost of disrespecting Indigenous rights and spirituality tied to the land.
Abstract water governance & iwrm knnt gegg
This document summarizes a presentation by Prof. Dr. Khin Ni Ni Thein on good water governance and integrated water resources management (IWRM) as prerequisites for water-energy-food security. The presentation defines water governance and explains that effective water governance seeks a balance across social, political, economic and environmental dimensions. IWRM is described as an effective management of the entire water cycle across all sectors and scales. The presentation discusses establishing laws, institutions, and stakeholder participation to strengthen water governance frameworks and decision making. It provides context on water management challenges and reforms needed in Myanmar to achieve sustainability, development, and help prevent conflicts over limited water resources.

1) China faces significant water scarcity issues, with nearly a quarter of its land classified as desert and 300 million people having limited water supply.
2) Tibet contains the largest volume of fresh frozen water on earth in its glaciers and supplies nearly a third of the world's population with water, making it critically important to China's water security.
3) China has already dammed every major river on the Tibetan Plateau, and is considering diverting the Brahmaputra River away from India, which could increase tensions between the two countries over water rights.

What is sustainable development
This document provides context and definitions for the concept of sustainable development. It discusses how sustainable development has become a widely used but ambiguous concept that different groups can interpret in various ways. The document traces the history and antecedents of sustainable development, from concerns around peace, freedom, development and the environment after World War 2. It summarizes the key reports and conferences that helped establish and spread the concept, including the Brundtland Commission report in 1987. The document examines different definitions of sustainable development, particularly focusing on what aspects are meant to be sustained (nature, life support systems, communities) and developed (people, economy, society) in the long-term.

This document provides an introduction to the concept of green infrastructure as explored in the PAS Report. It defines green infrastructure as both a multifunctional open space network at the regional scale and as a stormwater management approach that mimics natural processes at local and site scales. The report examines green infrastructure through the unifying concept of landscape, viewing natural and built systems as interconnected networks that must be considered together to sustain communities. It represents a shift from past views that separated gray infrastructure from green natural systems.

The challenges of sustainable development and
This document discusses the challenges of sustainable development and architecture. It argues that sustainable development as commonly conceived in the Western world does not adequately consider the social and cultural identities of communities. Sustainable architecture should take a postmodern approach that balances global ideas with local culture, history, climate and infrastructure. The document also examines factors that influence sustainable development such as economics, politics, technology, society and the environment. It presents sustainable development as requiring a balanced, holistic approach across these various domains.

University of Tennessee's Green Economy Initiative
This document discusses environmental issues and the green economy in Tennessee and Knoxville. It notes that manufacturing jobs in the US declined from 28% in the 1950s to 8.9% in 2011, which impacted wages and the Tennessee economy. It also outlines various environmental problems, including polluted rivers and air. Specifically in Knoxville, the Tennessee River is highly polluted and it has poor air quality. However, Knoxville also has the 2nd highest percentage of green jobs and fastest growing green jobs sector. The document advocates for coordinated planning between government, education, businesses and communities to promote green economic growth and help address environmental challenges.
ARC 211: American Diversity and Design: Kavita Singh
This document discusses an online discussion for a course on American Diversity and Design. The author describes how the course shifted their view of design to see it as multifaceted and accounting for the people spaces are built for. They also discuss how the Model T automobile positively impacted American society through higher wages and suburban development, but also increased issues like pollution. The document then outlines the author's responses to two discussion questions about how innovations have impacted various groups and how disability rights advocates influenced design through advocacy and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Risk communication
This document discusses communication, culture, and risk perceptions related to science and technology issues. It presents several models of science communication, including the deficit model, which assumes increased science knowledge will lead to greater acceptance of scientific views, and the public engagement model, which sees the public as interpretive communities that bring cultural and social perspectives. It also discusses how cultural cognition affects people's views on issues like climate change, with more scientific information sometimes increasing polarization. Overall, the document advocates moving beyond deficit models to recognize the cultural and social contexts that shape public risk perceptions.
Gene Burse Planning Degree Capstone
This document provides background information on urban sprawl and vacant shopping centers. It discusses the history of sprawl development in the US following WWII, fueled by policies like FHA loans. This led to segregated land uses and the rise of shopping centers. Many older shopping centers are now vacant as development moved further out. The document examines strategies for reusing vacant shopping centers and big box stores, using the Frayser neighborhood of Memphis as a case study. It aims to provide tools to encourage more sustainable development patterns in Memphis by redeveloping existing infrastructure rather than building new sprawled communities.
Mid City Book
This document summarizes the history of Baton Rouge and the development of the Mid City area. It traces Baton Rouge from its discovery by French explorers in 1699 through periods of French, English, and Spanish rule. It became the capital of Louisiana in 1849. Mid City developed in the early 20th century but declined after highways were built in the 1950/60s that severed it from downtown. The LSU Mid City studio focused on temporary interventions and construction projects in Mid City to engage students and address issues in the area.

The document discusses the concept of sustainable development by providing definitions, a brief history, and delineating its domains. It defines sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. The three main domains are typically defined as environmental sustainability, economic sustainability, and social sustainability, though some frameworks use four domains including politics and culture. The document also discusses criticisms of sustainable development and provides references for further information.

Urban green space promotes physical activity and public health.
Many US minority communities lack green space access, an environmental injustice.
US and Chinese cities have developed innovative ways to create new green space.
Urban greening can, however, create paradoxical effects such as gentrification.
Urban green space projects need more integrative sustainability policies to protect communities.

Urban green space, such as parks, forests, green roofs, streams, and community gardens, provides crit-
ical ecosystem services. Green space also promotes physical activity, psychological well-being, and the
general public health of urban residents. This paper reviews the Anglo-American literature on urban
green space, especially parks, and compares efforts to green US and Chinese cities. Most studies reveal
that the distribution of such space often disproportionately benefits predominantly White and more
affluent communities. Access to green space is therefore increasingly recognized as an environmental
justice issue. Many US cities have implemented strategies to increase the supply of urban green space,
especially in park-poor neighborhoods. Strategies include greening of remnant urban land and reuse of
obsolete or underutilized transportation infrastructure. Similar strategies are being employed in Chinese
cities where there is more state control of land supply but similar market incentives for urban greening.
In both contexts, however, urban green space strategies may be paradoxical: while the creation of new
green space to address environmental justice problems can make neighborhoods healthier and more
esthetically attractive, it also can increase housing costs and property values. Ultimately, this can lead to
gentrification and a displacement of the very residents the green space strategie.
Cheap and High Quality Housing with Emphasis on Modular Building
Housing as one of the most basic needs of human being has received much attention. As a physical shelter, it is a fundamental need in each family. The need to housing has been increased based on the population increase in cities and its high density and it is a big problem in cities. High price of housing and lack of quality including construction materials to form and cultural quality is one of the greatest concerns of most of families. The study to create methods or types of design is necessary to provide comfort and many suitable housing indices and quality indices. Quality issue in housing increases the price. To reduce construction time and improvement of construction operation, modular building is used in the world. This method is a good model in construction for housing mass production. It should be considered that housing as living place of human being should be mostly regarding cultural issues than a symbol for the life and survival of human being. The study design is descriptive-analytic. The data is collected via existing articles and resources to present a strategy to eliminate the problem of cheap housing. The problem of cheap housing gives some feedbacks regarding the materials or climatic and cultural patterns of society and also it creates problems in society and people as low-income class. The present study aimed to approach two paradoxes of cheap price and quality (including materials and culture).

Ball State University’s Building Better Communities’ (BBC’s) Primacy of Place™Initiative is premised on the idea that a great state is comprised of great communities, and those communities can improve themselves in partnership with Ball State University. BBC has provided comprehensive services that take place in or for the benefit of community partners throughout the state of Indiana. These partnerships serve to engage university faculty, staff, and students in addressing a wide range of community challenges.
Primacy of Place™ represents a community’s strategic choice to dedicate its resources toward placemaking and the improvement of life experiences for residents, businesses, and visitors. Today, the most successful communities are those that recognize the critical importance of human capital in order to compete effectively for economic development. Talent is the single most important element in local economic development, and we believe quality of place is the primary factor in a community’s ability to attract and retain talent.
The ongoing activities of the Primacy of Place™Initiative include a community awards program to recognize successful community quality of place initiatives, a conference to bring together business, university, and civic leaders to discuss how quality of place contributes to economic prosperity, knowledge groups to identify intellectual and creative resources related to Primacy of Place‰ã¢, and best practice databases to make resources readily available.

TACDA 2015 CBRNE by Bruce Curley
The Schoharie Valley Townsite project was an ambitious 1960 study by Cornell University students and faculty to design a city that could withstand a nuclear attack. The proposed city would be located in upstate New York and house 9,000 people in underground shelters connected by tunnels. All critical infrastructure like homes, schools and a factory would be built to withstand the blast and fallout from a 20 megaton nuclear bomb detonated 10 miles away. The largely underground design was meant to allow residents to survive and maintain industrial production even after a nuclear attack. While an interesting academic exercise, the project does not seem to have had any real-world impact and civil defense planning declined in the 1960s.
What is sustainable development
This document summarizes a 2005 article from the journal Environment about the concept of sustainable development. It outlines the history and evolution of sustainable development from earlier concepts of peace, freedom, development and the environment. It discusses how sustainable development has been defined, including the widely used definition from the Brundtland Commission. It also examines goals for sustainable development over different time horizons and how indicators are used to define and measure progress toward sustainable development.

- 1. INFRASTRUCTURE Until recently INFRASTRUCTURE was an esoteric word rarely heard or written in public discourse. That has dramatically changed as awareness of our “deteriorating infrastructure” has increased through political conversations involving candidates for public office and commentary by members of our media. This second edition of Public Infrastructure Asset Management effectively addresses the role and importance of civil infrastructure across the spectrum of quality of life concerns including clean and adequate water supply, energy needs and consumption, and multiple means of transportation. Advocating public attention to this critical subject is increasing in importance globally as our nation addresses significant allocation of resource challenges. Infrastructure improvement cannot be delayed if we are to continue as a vital nation. Professors Waheed Uddin, Ronald Hudson and Ralph Haas have rendered great service to professional engineers and to our society by producing a well-organized, thoughtful guide for moving forward as we address urgent needs that affect all of us. Robert C. Khayat Chancellor Emeritus The University of Mississippi Dr. Robert C. Khayat served as the 15th Chancellor of The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) from 1995 until he retired in 2009. Educated at Yale and Ole Miss where he was an Academic All-American football and baseball player, Dr. Khayat received the NFL Lifetime Achievement Award and the National Football Foundation Distinguished American Award. Under his outstanding leadership, the university experienced amazing change, increased enrollment, renovation of campus infrastructure, and addition of new facilities. Ole Miss hosted Obama’s First Presidential Debate in 2008.
