A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1.Introduction
In this final ENBE project, we are required to plan and build a sustainable future town.
First, we have to investigate and examine old cities and towns, present towns and future
towns. Collect data to understand the components and elements of a town, case study of cities
and towns. As for my group, we had chosen a town with a river flowing right through the
town, so I’m going to focusing and collect more information and understanding about river,
it’s usage, pros and cons, benefit and cautions of the river. After that, we are going to make a
physical model of our town and a presentation board about our town.
In my opinion and experiences after done all the research, I’ve learn about interaction
between human and natural environment. I also be able to expose the elements of the natural
and built environment in their basic unit, form and function, understanding what is a
sustainable and livable place. I think this is very helpful for my future study and even works.

Definition: “A built-up area with a name, defined boundaries, and local government,
that is larger than a village and generally smaller than a city”
What makes a town?
It depends on the criteria. Socialists consider population size, politicians and managers would
consider political structure such as the organisation of local government, most professions
consider population size.

Township : A township is a development of substantial size that contains a community or
small neighbourhood.
According to GreenBuildingIndex, they categorize a and rate good township in many ways :
- Climate, Energy and Water
Balance in their on going production and consumption of energy and water. Maximising
passive design, minimising energy consumption, use renewable energy technologies, reduce
water consumption, rain water harvesting and greywater recycling.
- Ecology and Environment
Respect the surrounding environment and native ecological system. Preserve and enhance the
ecological value of the natural environment, reducing the impact of flooding and erosion.
- Community Planing and Design
Planned and design for the benefit of the community, emphasising people priority and
greenspaces, resulting in more livable and diverse neighbourhoods. With great public
facilities like hospital, clinic, police station, fire station, bus station, school and parks.
- Transportation and connectivity
Well-connected places and broad range of transportation options, public transportation, great
accessiblility, connectivity and well linked to surrounding. Example, rail bus, bus, and cycling
network.
- Building and Resources
Have a lower impact on resources, minimise the use of highly resource intensive materials.
- Business and Innovation
Provide employment opportunities for residents. Provide avenues for businesses to form.

A Better Town is a Sustainable and Livable Town.
The components of liveability are:
1 protection of the environment
2 maintenance of a diverse economy
3 provision of accessibility through land use
4 delivery of services for residents and businesses
5 housing choices
6 balanced city budget
7 the involvement of citizens in planning and delivery.
It has to be said that the aims of a liveability policy on communities are focused on
quality of life, rather than implicitly on sustainable development, but there are
inevitable improvements for sustainable development through reduced car
transportation, increases in greenspace and opportunities for social capital and
participative planning regimes.
Financial Costs and Funding Sources
The choice regarding the costs of infrastructure is twofold:
- increasing costs to provide services and infrastructure to increasingly
sprawling and lower density suburban residential communities with both market
forces and zoning policies restricting the degree to which services can be located
near people, or
- increasing density and multi-use zoning to allow for a more efficient use of
resources and the provision of services near the people that access them.
A liveable community is also an efficient community, and will cost less to maintain in
the long term. For example, green building programs in Vancouver from the 1990s
have shown that there are real economic and sustainability benefits to such design.
Unfortunately, residential developers are behind in adopting such technologies.
Critical Success Factors
Critical success factors in the identification and implementation of liveability as an
integral part of sustainable communities are:
- the value of liveability as an overall theme, among others, in the development of a
community’s sustainability plan

13. ENBE | Final Project | Part A – Report | The Better Livable Town Representation
- the overarching role of public engagement in the articulation of what is meant by
liveability
- an acceptance that liveability may differ significantly from community to
community
- a recognition that liveability extends to economic dynamism and career
opportunities as well as recreational, aesthetic, cross-generational and cultural
activities
- the ability to embed liveability concerns into the culture of the municipality rather
than politically motivated short-term initiatives
- the recognition that the provision of a diverse residential community with a full
complement of services, means that a system approach to both the city region and
the individual neighbourhood is required. This will ensure that individual
neighbourhoods do not become liveability ghettos, but have a real and vibrant
place within the whole city region context.

Since the town size is very small, it’s really hard to fit in such population, so I
decided to expand upwards. For example, build more apartment. Considering the
transportation and vehicle, in this 30km2
town, I would implant more public transport,
rail bus, bus, even cycling network.
This is my town
planning. I will
separate the
commercial area into
two. This is because to
minimize the crowds
and traffic problem.
The residential area
are near the
commercial area so
that they can get to
work easily or get what
they need for daily live easily. Industrial area I put it on the corner of the town,
far away from
residential or
commercial area, just
to avoid the pollution
that caused by the
factories. In the tourism
area, they will be a
public garden.

Transportation.
In this town, will provide a very
wide range of transportation with
great accessibility. First there will be
basic road way. Then is the public
transport, bus and train. There will
be 2 type of train in my town. First is
the above ground train, this is use
to connect to other
neighbourhood town or city, also
use to transport people or cargo.
Next is the underground train. This underground train will only run in this town. It
connected to every place, from
industrial to commercial to
residential area.
Another major change of my road
is I added a special bus track and
bicycle track on both side of the
road. Both of it are connected
through out the whole town.

7.Conclusion
For my conclusion, to develop a sustainable town is not that easy. We have to
think about lots of element or factor to improve the town. Besides, this is not a very
big town, the space are limited, to make this happen, really take a lot of effort and
thinking to shape it until its perfect.
From this assignment, I have learn that what is sustainable town. It’s a lifestyle,
that how you design your town that fit perfectly for the citizen. For example, the
distance between the citizen house and working place, is that far or near, can they
reach their working place by walking or public transport, those are the factor that
we have to think about all time. Also the economy for the town, develop some
industrial area or agriculture area is a must as it is where the income come from, or
tourism.
Lastly, I’m glad that I have done this assignment and have learnt a lot of thing
that are useful for my future study or work. Thank you.
