Kaid will discuss the opportunities and advantages of creating a sustainable energy future.We once thought of cities as the antithesis of sustainability - but we now know that cities can be the solution to, not the cause of, our environmental threats. To take advantage of the opportunities before us in an increasingly urban society, we must be thoughtful, shaping our metropolitan regions to reduce our environmental footprint while creating beautiful, green, inclusive neighborhoods within them. As people concerned about the health and future of the planet, we must approach this task with energy and humility, paying every bit as much attention to nurturing great people habit as we do to conserving the habitats of other species.

“Complete street” is a transportation term that refers to a corridor designed for all modes of transportation. Washington, DC has made national news for its emphasis on the fundamental modes of transportation – walking and biking. It’s also home to one of the most recognizable mass transit systems.
So why would the District Department of Transportation propose a scenario that eliminates complete streets? How do they propose safely accommodating users from so many different modes of travel?
This webcast will cover the following:
• Trade-offs associated with physically separating travel modes;
• Corridor planning vs. network planning;
• Transportation mode hierarchy; and
• Placemaking treatments based on street function.
Andy Boenau leads the urban planning practice at Timmons Group, a Virginia-based consulting firm. His expertise is guiding infrastructure projects in such a way that all travel modes are accommodated on streets. It would be fair to label him as a pro-walk/pro-bike advocate.
He facilitates workgroups, stakeholder meetings, and social media engagement for planning and design projects. He enjoys translating technical jargon and transportation issues in ways that promote active and meaningful public involvement.
Andy is responsible for the APA New Urbanism Division’s newsletter and is APA-Virginia’s vice president of external affairs. He will be facilitating the discussion about implementing complete street design principles.

Market Research Report : Water and Wastewater Treatment in China 2011Netscribes, Inc.
For the complete report, get in touch with us at : info@netscribes.com
IPTV market in India was valued at INR 80 mn in 2010 and is estimated to grow strongly. In 2010, IPTV accounted for 0.5% of the total pay TV subscriber base, indicating huge scope for expansion. High demand for interactive and customized digital TV services will provide strong growth avenues to the IPTV market. Increasing role of the government to increase broadband penetration in India and reducing costs of IPTV services will also drive the market.
The report begins with an introduction to IPTV and its various applications. It also includes IPTV architecture which comprises mainly of various IPTV components likes content aggregator, managed IP network, broadband access network, and in-home network. The IPTV value chain is also provided, showing the various activities handled by the equipment and technology providers, network and service providers, and customer.
This is followed by the market overview section which begins with an insight into the global IPTV market, its size and growth, and total number of IPTV subscribers. It moves on to the Indian IPTV market, its size and growth, total number of subscribers and average revenue per user (ARPU) of IPTV. Interactive applications will play an important role in the future adoption of IPTV and higher demand for them will drive this market in India. Technological innovation and distinct applications offered by IPTV services will drive this market in the future and help it invade into the cable and DTH space.
An analysis of the market characteristics explains the factors for growth of the industry and its key challenges including robust television industry, broadband penetration, cost structure, physical infrastructure and competitive environment. Strong opportunity exists in the market as cost of IPTV services is reducing. This coupled with the fact that the television industry is growing and the trend towards interactive and customized services, will lead to a developing market. However, India lacks the physical infrastructure for IPTV systems, not providing the necessary accessibility to consumers. Stiff competition from existing players like digital cable and DTH also creates a major hurdle for this market.
Economist Joe Cortright shares exciting findings from research done for CEOs for Cities about the positive effect of higher Walkscores on housing values. See http://www.ceosforcities.org/work/walkingthewalk for more information. Presented at the CNU 2009 Transportation Summit in Portland — http://cnu.org/transportation2009 .
Metro Councilor Robert Liberty discusses and presents work that Metro is doing in an effort to produce environmentally and pedestrian friendly communities, while preserving and investing in the communities that already exist. Mr. Liberty recognizes that the current, rapid rate of land development in the United States is destructive to our economy, environment and way of life.
Stuart Gwin compares two pairs of neighborhoods using their relative accessibility and connectivity to
illustrate the difficulty of building connected networks in the modern urban setting.
While outlining principles that contribute to successful community and regional planning designs, Metro Councilor Rex Burkholder discusses the importance of the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Metro's unique role in implementing transportation reform that helps to link a community back to its region and state, the economy and environmental protection initiatives.
This presentation from Scott Bernstein highlights the origins of contemporary network and highways legislation while reminding us about the influence of contemporary historians who have greatly influenced discussion surrounding transportation networks.
Todd Litman of the Victoria Transportation Institute reports on the history of desirability of living locations, and how our automobile dependent society has fueled sprawl development. Mr. Litman also outlines the benefits of Smart Growth development and how growing trends, "changing attitudes about urban living," "increasing health and environmental concerns" and "shifting assumptions about suburban real estate values" are making headway in support of transportation and planning reforms that can transform our regions and communities into healthier, more functional, and beautiful places.
John Norquist, CNU's President and CEO outlines the importance of narrower, interconnected street networks, and how connectivity, ranging from the regional scale to the local neighborhood, block and street scale is contrary to common thought, critical to reducing emergency response times. While streets should be as integral as common civic space as the buildings that reside on them are, narrower, connected street networks also contribute to the overall safety and health of a city's design.
Andy Cotugno examines the relationship between land development patterns and motor vehicle travel in the U.S. and assess whether petroleum use and CO2 emissions could be reduced by changes in development design. Mr. Cotugno reveals how compact and mixed use development, and residential density directly correlate to a healthier environment, while acknowledging the challenges of economic and political reform.
Norman Garrick compares street network design from pre-1950 and post-1950, factors that help determine the overall safety of safe pedestrian travel, and explains why it is so obvious that the pandemic of sprawl development is to blame for unsafe, poorly designed, disconnected neighborhoods. Studies prove that Street Network Design has an integral role in providing safe, pedestrian friendly,and highly accessible communities. We must re-think the suburban model in order to reform emergency response.
Rick Hall analyzes the economic, health and environmental implications of creating pedestrian friendly, walkable neighborhoods. While recognizing the importance of walkability to the overall effort of healthy urban development, Mr. Hall highlights the "top ten" factors contributing to walkability. Topping this list is small block size. Mr. Hall's presentation reminds us of the importance of contextual connectivity, pedestrian accessibility as well as urban density and their contribution sustainable city design.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. How Does Land Use Affect Transport?
The Five D’s
► Density – population and employment ratios
► Diversity
Ratio of Housing to Jobs
Demographics that tend to be dependant on transit
(age, income, available vehicles)
► Design – completeness and connectivity of
local pedestrian network (walkable places)
► Destinations – Accessibility to regional
activity centers.
► Distance – areas near transit
3. How do you affect GHG with
Land Use?
Theory:
► Good Land Use reduces VMT
► With VMT you have lower fuel consumption
► Lower Fuel Consumption =
Lower Carbon Emissions
► Not Necessarily!
4. Issues to Consider
► How much benefit can you get?
► Are there diminishing returns?
► Are there other positives?
► Are there some negatives?

37. Good Place to do Density
Example:
Zupans Grocery store in
Portland, Oregon
Was the original
redevelopment project
in an up-and-coming
neighborhood
It served as an anchor
and catalyst for
additional housing
projects
43. Transit has a Carbon Footprint
► Transit has a Carbon Footprint
44. Fuel type, efficiency, and passenger load
are critical in determining carbon benefit
Transit must improve its carbon footprint
5 miles per gallon 50 miles per gallon
10 passengers 1 passenger
47. Conclusions
► Land use helps reduce carbon
But it is small contribution
Top concerns are vehicles, fuels, electricity generation, building
technology
► Increasing density DOES NOT reduce carbon emissions!!!
Design is more important
► The better cars and buildings get, the less benefit from
land use design
► Land use had carbon benefits outside vehicles
Better count it! We need all we can get!
Water consumption has a carbon effect too
48. Yes, it has a lower carbon footprint,
but primarily, it’s more liveable!
