Modern cities are "free-fire" zones for the corporations. And the situation is getting worse. We can't work out what to do without understanding this basic reality.

John Thackara keynote, China Eco-Civilization Research and Promotion Association (CECRPA) Conference, 17 November 2019.
For the world of design, EC is transformative In three profound ways:
1 In an EC, care for place takes priority over ever-growing production and communication;
2 EC defines value creation in terms of healthy soils, and ecological restoration;
3 EC gives priority to social relationships, and institutional innovation.

The world is entering a new era where the economic and political importance of cities is growing rapidly. Today, the majority of the world’s population lives in cities and urban concentration is accelerating. Therefore, cities are vital for solving major social, environmental and economic challenges.
By 2044 we will hit peak population of 8.7B before decreasing to 8B by 2100. This decade we have seen the emergence of three distinct cities - the mega city, the shrinking city and the nomadic city.
At The Next Billion conference in NYC I will present the concept of transient design and how to create nomadic cities.
This presentation created and addressed by Anil Markandya (BC3) in the intensive three day course from the BC3, Basque Centre for Climate Change and UPV/EHU (University of the Basque Country) on Climate Change in the Uda Ikastaroak Framework.
The objective of the BC3 Summer School is to offer an updated and multidisciplinary view of the ongoing trends in climate change research. The BC3 Summer School is organized in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country and is a high quality and excellent summer course gathering leading experts in the field and students from top universities and research centres worldwide.

Cities have long birthed advances in the sciences, arts, human rights, business and government. Millions of people have moved to cities for better lives or services unavailable elsewhere.
But as cities grow, so are problems stemming from stretched transportation, energy and water infrastructure.

An astonishing, first-of-its-kind, report by the NYT assessing damage in Ukraine. Even if the war ends tomorrow, in many places there will be nothing to go back to.
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
