CK2018: Green Corridor TOD Project - Cali, Colombia
The Green Corridor TOD project in Cali, Colombia aims to redevelop the abandoned railway line into a light rail transit system and densify the surrounding areas. The project would create 22 km of bike and pedestrian paths, improve intermodality, and generate new public spaces. Studies have assessed the feasibility of different transit technologies, developed a business model framework, and identified opportunities for land value capture. Funding from the NAMA Facility was secured to pilot priority interventions along the corridor in line with transit-oriented development and greenhouse gas mitigation principles. A recent study identified property tax, special assessments, and urban planning tools as potential land value capture instruments for the project under Colombian law.

Overall the document argues that barriers exist but innovations are emerging that can help accelerate the transition to electric buses globally.Covenant of Mayors: The EU Policy framework involving cities to reach EU Ener...
Covenant of Mayors: The EU Policy framework involving cities to reach EU Ener...International Energy Agency
The Covenant of Mayors is an EU policy framework involving over 3,600 signatory cities committed to reaching the EU's 20% energy and climate targets by 2020. Over 157 million EU citizens are involved in the initiative. Cities have submitted over 1,182 Sustainable Energy Action Plans outlining 142 million tons of potential CO2 reductions and €40 billion in planned investments. Case studies show energy efficiency and renewable energy measures in buildings can drive significant CO2 and energy savings, as well as local job growth and cost savings for residents and businesses.Alternative fuels in urban mobility
This document discusses alternative fuels and their role in improving urban mobility. It begins with charts showing the development of consumer goods like households, TVs, phones, and private cars in the Netherlands from 1950-2015. The objectives of the session are then outlined, focusing on the EU Alternative Fuels Directive and status of alternative fuel deployment. Integrating alternative fuels into urban mobility could improve local air quality and reduce emissions and oil dependence. However, challenges include avoiding increased private vehicle use, taking advantage of trends toward shared mobility, and decreasing road space used for mobility while ensuring safety. The energy source is also a consideration.
Gas
The document summarizes key points from a session at the Berlin Energy Forum on keeping energy prices and costs in check. It discusses how gas and electricity can work together in complementary ways, with gas able to back up renewable energy sources reliably and efficiently. Gas power plants can balance electricity systems and store excess renewable power by converting it to hydrogen or gas. The document also outlines how gas and electricity can be used together for heating, cooling, and transport. It argues that integrated gas and electricity systems and removing market distortions will be important for achieving the EU's 2030 emissions reduction targets in a cost-effective way.
Vortaflow concept description
The document discusses reducing fuel consumption in commercial vehicles like buses through aerodynamic technologies from aeronautics. It suggests that drag reduction on buses has the potential to lower fuel use by 5-10% according to aerodynamics expert W. H. Hucho. Over 520,000 buses were in use in the EU in 1999, and road transportation is expected to increase further. A company called Vortaflow proposes adding aerodynamic features to buses to reduce drag coefficients and lower fuel consumption, with added benefits of increased safety and an environmentally friendly profile.
Transport & Regeneration
The document discusses the economic impacts of transportation projects and developments. It provides several case studies showing how new roads, rail lines, and tram systems have created jobs by improving accessibility and boosting development. One case study found a new tram system in Croydon, UK dramatically raised the city's profile, attracted investors, and replaced marginal retailers with higher profile stores. In general, the document argues that improving transport infrastructure can drive economic growth by facilitating development, jobs, and regeneration, especially on formerly unused brownfield lands.
Meeting climate targets: City of Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen has developed an ambitious climate plan to become carbon neutral by 2025. This includes reducing energy consumption from buildings and transportation, transitioning to renewable energy production, and increasing the use of electric vehicles and public transportation. However, extreme rainfall in 2011 revealed the city's vulnerability to climate change and necessitated a cloudburst management plan to adapt its infrastructure. This plan divides the city into catchment areas and outlines a new system of retention basins, cloudburst boulevards, and other surface solutions to manage stormwater, with implementation over 20 years. The plan aims to create multifunctional urban spaces that provide water management as well as parks and recreation, but also presents challenges in coordinating with other city priorities and
Italien presentation
The document discusses plans to reduce CO2 emissions through carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. It outlines how power plants could capture CO2 emissions and store them underground. The EU will provide €300 million to fund 12 commercial CCS demonstration projects. New rules will phase in CO2 emission targets for new cars between 2012-2020. Manufacturers face fines if emissions exceed limits. The first experimental CCS plant in Italy began operations in March 2011 near Brindisi to test capturing and storing CO2 emissions.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
