The document summarizes an open educational resource (OER) book titled "OER & Social Networks" that was produced over multiple years in collaboration with over 100 co-authors from 30+ research groups. The book was published as an ebook in 2012 and had two print editions in 2013 and 2014. It aimed to produce an OER chapter based on open philosophy and collaborative reconstruction. Outcomes included academic recognition and widespread dissemination. Next steps involve implementing new strategies like an integrated OER iBook and MOOC to further open science participation and impact.
This document provides the rules for a children's game called "Tzami or little Jeremiads". The game is played between two teams of 10 to 20 children each. The teams take turns trying to knock over a column of stones in the center by throwing a ball. The team that knocks over the stones first runs away and tries to rebuild the tower while the other team throws the ball to hit them. If all players on the rebuilding team get hit before finishing, the throwing team wins. If the rebuilding team finishes first, they win.
Mammals are warm-blooded animals that nourish their young with milk. They come in a wide variety of forms, including people, apes, dogs, mice, elephants and pandas. Mammals have developed different adaptations to live in diverse environments, such as fur and fat to survive cold climates or sweating and panting to release heat in warm places. Mammals also have different diets and include herbivores, carnivores, omnivores and insectivores. They vary greatly in size, from the smallest pygmy shrew and bumblebee bat to the largest blue whale.
Mammals are defined as animals that have hair, are warm-blooded, and nourish their young with milk. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and live in diverse habitats around the world. Mammals can be categorized based on their diets as herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, or insectivores. They also hold records for attributes like speed, size, weight, loudness, and fat content.
This document summarizes the traditional Greek game of "Apples". The game involves two children standing opposite each other and throwing a volleyball to try and hit other children standing between them. If a child catches the ball, they receive an "apple" and an extra life in the game. Players are eliminated when they are hit by the ball. The last player standing in the middle must complete ten laps without being hit to allow their whole team to rejoin the game.
Symbiosis is a close interaction between two biological species that can benefit or harm the individuals. There are different types of symbiosis such as mutualism where both species benefit from the relationship, like hummingbirds and flowers, and predation where one organism serves as a food source for the predator, such as tigers hunting deer. The presentation discusses various kinds of symbiotic relationships and provides examples.

This document reviews the Madrid Neighbourhoods Remodeling Operation, which redeveloped deprived urban areas between 1979-1989. It classifies the remodeled neighborhoods based on their original conditions and transformation outcomes. The operation had both positive and negative impacts. It improved urban quality but did not fully address accessibility or integrate some neighborhoods. Overall, the operation demonstrated the value of coordinated, inclusive regeneration strategies for recovering distressed areas.

Globalization and the European Union have reshaped urban networks and competition among cities. Urban design is increasingly important for economic development, as it helps attract skilled workers, businesses, and investment through improving urban spaces and cultural amenities. There are generally three classes of European cities: metropolitan cities which focus on prestigious urban landscapes; larger cities which regenerate through events and infrastructure; and smaller cities which thrive on specialized industries and quality of life. Case studies show how avant-garde urban design projects in various cities have created new cultural districts, identities, and economic opportunities.
The document discusses urban spaces and the urbanization process. It describes the characteristics of pre-industrial cities including classical, medieval, and modern cities. It then discusses the industrial city and how the industrial revolution transformed cities in the mid-19th century. Finally, it covers topics like urban morphology, land use models, urban expansion, problems, systems, and the roles and influences of cities.
This document analyzes the urban growth of medium-sized towns in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain from 1996-2007. It finds that populations increased in most towns, especially Cuenca and Talavera de la Reina, while commuting between towns and their surrounding areas also rose. The amount of urban land grew substantially, with discontinuous urban land increasing more than continuous urban land. The expansion occurred through population spreading, increased housing, and changes in land use patterns. Guadalajara and Toledo experienced the most intense urban sprawl, while other towns like Ciudad Real, Talavera de la Reina, and Cuenca saw intermediate levels of sprawl.
This document discusses the definition and history of cities. It defines a city as having over 10,000 inhabitants with predominantly non-agricultural functions. It then summarizes the pre-industrial and industrial stages of urbanization. The pre-industrial city had fewer than 10,000 people and served military, administrative, economic and religious functions. The industrial city saw rapid growth due to factories attracting workers from rural areas. It also discusses urban morphology, structures, land use models and problems faced by cities.
Presentación sobre los espacios urbanos, elaborada para la asignatura de ciencias sociales de la sección bilingüe del I.E.S. Fray Pedro de Urbina (Miranda de Ebro)
The document discusses urbanization and city planning. It begins by defining what constitutes a city and describes common urban morphologies like orthogonal, irregular, radio-central, and linear plans. It then examines the urbanization process in Spain, highlighting the pre-industrial, industrial, and post-industrial periods. Specific urban functions like commercial, residential, industrial, and administrative are also outlined. The document concludes by analyzing land use and the structure of urban functions in cities like Bilbao and San Sebastián.
Barcelona has a long history of innovative urban planning dating back to its founding by the Romans in 15 BC. Over the centuries, visionary planners like Ildefons Cerdà transformed the city, implementing the superblock concept in the 19th century to create a more organized layout. Barcelona has since reimagined superblocks, combining several city blocks to limit cars and prioritize pedestrians, public spaces, and mixed land uses. While not without challenges, superblocks have improved quality of life and sustainability in Barcelona, garnering international attention. The city now faces issues from overtourism and pollution, spurring new plans to transform Barcelona into a people-centered model for the 21st century.

This document discusses solutions for improving poor urban areas in Latin America in a sustainable way. It proposes a framework using guidelines, tools like GIS, and a geodesign approach to understand communities and identify interventions. Case studies show restoring existing developments and infrastructure, rather than relocation, helps preserve social networks. Participatory planning is key. Successful projects in Venezuela integrated basic needs with social and aesthetic values through upgrading public spaces and condominiums in a friendly manner.
In the master thesis ‘A Project for Valencia’ I observed the strategic spatial planning changes and a vast development of Valencian large urban projects in the last 20 years. Subsequently I estimated the effects of such processes in the current times of economy recession and real estate development stagnation and from my findings and observations I identified two main problems, which I have researched in my thesis:
- Unequal distribution of public gains from the large urban projects in Valencia.
- Emerging spatial problems of social vulnerability.
In order to cope with the mentioned main problems, I developed a strategy which reveals the possibilities of stimulating the stagnant real estate development and proposes intervention projects in order to capture the synergy of the existing and future large urban projects. In addition, these interventions improve the spatial conditions of socially vulnerable areas and directly benefit the locals and their living quality. Two key intervention projects were studied in more detail and a design proposal for them was proposed. This made it possible to open up a discussion of the actual development possibilities even in the times of the economic scarcity and real estate market stagnation. Participation and cooperation of the local public authorities, third party investors and local inhabitants was engaged towards the processes of urban growth.
The document summarizes the organization and evolution of urban space from ancient times to the present. It discusses the pre-industrial, industrial, and post-industrial city models. It then covers topics like globalization and urban space, social and territorial inequalities in cities, the urban landscape in the world today, and new urban spaces like technology parks and shopping centers. Environmental problems in cities are also addressed, such as lack of vegetation, water scarcity and pollution, high air contamination, and noise pollution that comes with consumer lifestyles.

1) The document proposes an alternative infrastructure plan for Luanda, Angola in response to the government's One Million Housing Plan.
2) It argues that infrastructure like water, sanitation and transportation should be prioritized over housing, as surveys found housing was not a top problem identified by urban poor residents.
3) The plan focuses on developing infrastructure around an existing railway line, including bridging divides in the community of Viana through civic spaces and improved accessibility.

The document discusses the Garden City Movement concept in urban planning created by Ebenezer Howard. Some key points:
1. Howard proposed planned, self-contained communities surrounded by greenbelts that balanced residential, industrial, and agricultural areas to address overcrowding and pollution in cities.
2. His "Garden Cities" aimed to reconnect people with nature while maintaining economic opportunities. The first examples were Letchworth Garden City and Welwyn Garden City in England.
3. While the concepts saw some success, maintaining affordability proved difficult. The movement emphasized the need for urban planning but ultimately failed to inspire widespread adoption of Garden Cities.
Arturo Soria y Mata was a 19th century Spanish urban planner known for developing the concept of the linear city. The linear city model proposed organizing a city into parallel zones running along a central transportation corridor. This included zones for industry, green space, and residential areas. Soria intended for Madrid to be developed this way, but the project ultimately failed after his death due to economic and development challenges. However, his linear city concept inspired future planned developments like Navi Mumbai, India and remains an influential model of urban planning today.
1) Barcelona has a knowledge-intensive and internationally oriented economy, with all sectors having considerable weight and Barcelona accounting for 30% of Catalonia's GDP.
2) Socially oriented city design began in the 19th century, and current residential density of around 450 dwellings/ha puts pressure on public space.
3) The document discusses Barcelona's goals of becoming a productive city formed by self-sufficient neighborhoods at a human scale, within a connected, efficient metropolis, to improve issues like unemployment, marginalization, and lack of affordability.
Curitiba, Brazil implemented an innovative and sustainable transportation system and urban planning strategies over several decades beginning in the 1960s. Key steps included developing a master plan in 1964 focused on minimizing sprawl, preserving historic areas, and investing in affordable public transit. This involved creating a network of bus routes connected to high-density development. Curitiba also emphasized social and environmental programs around recycling, green spaces, and citizen participation. As a result, Curitiba has been recognized internationally as a model of sustainable urban planning.

"When we think in terms of trees we are trading the humanity and richness of the living city for a
conceptual simplicity which benefits only designers, planners, administrators and developers. Every
time a piece of a city is torn out, and a tree made to replace the semi-lattice that was there before,
the city takes a further step toward dissociation"
