L’urbanistica è vista troppo spesso come una pratica negativa, un elemento di appesantimento burocratico, un laccio alla libera iniziativa, anche perché in Italia, ma non solo in Italia, mischiata a una politica di basso livello, a corruzione, a arbitrio. In contraccambio, altrettanto spesso è presentata come laboratorio di idee per la città del futuro, capace di dare un senso al progetto di nuovi spazi, di essere strumento efficiente per la trasformazione dei luoghi, per la riqualificazione di aree degradate. Raramente, troppo raramente, il presupposto è trattare l'urbanistica come una scienza normale. Da qui bisogna iniziare!

Squaring the circle? Some thoughts on the idea of sustainable developmentBrancois
The paper reviews how the concept of sustainable development has played out in industrialized countries since 1987. It
examines the theory and practice of sustainable development in the context of three criticisms (it is vague, attracts hypocrites
and fosters delusions), and argues for an approach to sustainability that is integrative, is action-oriented, goes beyond technical
fixes, incorporates a recognition of the social construction of sustainable development, and engages local communities in new
ways. The paper concludes with a description of an approach to sustainability that attempts to incorporate these characteristics.

Abstract
Both process technologies and product technologies are used in the production of anthropic space: for this they are placed in the disciplinary context of ecology applied to urban planning. The apparatus of definition of sustainability theory and of urban planning practice will be influenced not only with respect to general issues such as carrying capacity and sustainability, urban metabolism, ecological footprint and quality of the built environment, but also with respect to the specifics of the main physical and geological aspects, and overall the risk reduction during earthquakes.

Academic Board member of the International Encyclopedia of Systems and Cybernetics
The paper / presentation explores the fate of concrete solutions to introduce a combination of Solution Spaces in times of exploding Problem Spaces.
Innovative presentation and conceptualization methods were introduced at the ‘Communication Camp’ organized at the WFSF conference in Turku in 1993 and covered in the newsletter ‘Knowledge Spiral’ of the Youth and in the Finish weekly „HELSINGIN SANOMAT“.
These new communication methods have since been widely used and therefore we can now reflect on their successes, challenges, and possibilities for further use.
The key concepts included:
a) Open-Forum/Open-Space: a ‘Magic Roundtable’ conversation method which has led to online dialogues as well as ‘live encounters’, to encourage empathy in communication, as well as multi-track diplomacy and peacemaking efforts for community building.
b) Cognitive Panorama: Immersive spaces, externally oriented workspaces of the mind for spacial Erörterungen (deliberations and encounters) for an extra shared overview.
The session will revisit the 10 theses from 24 years ago: “our view of life is too flat”, will try to expand the themes, introduces “Out of the Box thinking and Paradigm-mapping” seminars, and critically review developments, looking back and forward.
We will discuss democracy, education, the future of the media, as well as the need to revisit the intersection of systems and models, imagination and shared augmented virtual realities, complexity and perplexity, signs and senses, concepts/signs and percepts/senses, ethics and policy-making.

Structured Dialogic Design and Deliberations: looking back 40 years, announcing the new publication: STRATEGIC ARTICULATION OF ACTIONS TO COPE WITH THE HUGE CHALLENGES OF OUR WORLD TODAY, and discussing future potentials for tackling highly complex challenges, creating policy options, and socio-cultural cohesion across scales and media.
The world community is struggling with not only an ecological crisis, but a change in personal attitudes and values, a crisis of our life-styles and mind-sets. Policymakers and Individuals did not adapt to the rapid changes on this planet the last 100 years, The Problematique and that an exploding “problem space” requires new “solution spaces”, new forms of dialog and deliberation, capacity building, and forms to communicate, deliberate, share and mediate when shared solutions ask for finding ways beyond the need to agree, but settle issues in view of the greater good and including the minority position. (Introduction and “historical orientation” (Heiner Benking).
After a look at the early reports of the Club of Rome 1968-1970, Stockholm 1972, the workshop will revisit progress in “social system design”, community problem solving and peace mediation, multi-track peace-making and diplomacy, and introduce the method of Structured Dialogic Design (SDD) Maria Kakoulaki, Yiannis Laouris, possibly Peter Jones.
Central part is the introduction of the new publication: STRATEGIC ARTICULATION OF ACTIONS TO COPE WITH THE HUGE CHALLENGES OF OUR WORLD TODAY by Reynaldo Treviño-Cisneros. The outcomes of the SDD process to the 15 Challenges to Humanity of the Millennium Project will be presented, and possible implications for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (since Rio 2012 on the international agenda, and what that means for our ability to cope with our Predicament. Followed by a discussion with Peter Jones and Heiner Benking about new approaches to policy-making and deliberation methods and fora in large, distributed groups. Possible interventions any time by Alexander Christakis, Walter Bogan, Ken Bausch, Peter Jones and other invited collaborators.
Summing up: A final round is planned about the challenges and impact of modern media and the recent project of Re-inventing Democracy. The workshop will be concluded by questions by the participants and a final round by the speakers.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

How to explain Copenhagen to a comedian Memo to Eugene Mirman http://www.grist.org/article/2009-12-03-how-to-explain-copenhagen-to-a-comedian Photo illustration / iStock images Comedian Eugene Mirman is going to Copenhagen for Grist to cover the international climate talks. Eugene is a fairly well-informed guy (he at least scans Google News looking for reviews of his latest album ), but he’s the first to admit that he doesn’t live, eat, and smoke climate policy. At his request, the Grist staff threw together a basic cheat sheet on Copenhagen. It’s overly simplistic. It avoids lots of important details. It’s probably offensive. In short, it’s just enough to help Eugene feign cluefulness when he’s accosting world leaders in Denmark.

14. Global Sharing and Coping Starting Points HARMONIZATION The first and most central entry points have been around a G7 and SRU German Environmental experts initiative which was taken up by the UN- Environment Programme UNEP - HEM. GLOBAL CHANGE The other started with the GLOBAL CHANGE conference 1988 in Moskow. Germany and other countries had been invited to present „Challenges to Science and Politics“ in form of Conferences and Exhibitions. As I was invited to contribute I had to think anew on how such complex Issues could be communicated to the broader public, raising awareness and consciousness, and being correct and helpful for scientists, politicians, and industry at the same time. I go public now 1998 as after having this touring exhibition 8 years in Germany, but never been shown outside Germany, and being updated and in high demand, there is high danger of losing this piece and milestone. Politics look east and local when the exhibition was opened in May 1990. The result we have no public eye and information about the exhibition, its scope and results. As this is fatal in my view, I fee I have to change and address that. I could have also called this UIA guest page GLOBAL CHANGE or LOCAL AND GLOBAL CHANGE - as my work started about global environmental issues in 1988 with such wide and universal themes. Only because I was involved in two or more projects at that time, and have a certain background which was about preparing and documenting decisions and presenting results, I was able to make the bridge, combine what normally is not seen as one - or in one solution. As both project concepts are not only of wider interest and unique in their approach, specially in their time we are proposing here to follow each background independently and then join in again the flow of events.

Only few people have a perspective that extends far into the future. * Later we can read in the book: that in contrast to the majorities focus in the quadrant in the lower left “box”, the book concerns itself with the upper right quadrant or “box”.

43. Whoever imagines mental deep permeable barriers which actually do not exist and then thinks them away, has understood the world. As space is entrapped in geometry's network of lines, thought is caught in its (own) inherent laws. Maps make the world comprehensible to us; we are still waiting for the star-maps of the spirit. In the same way than ambling through fields we risk getting lost, the spirit negotiates its terrain. Friedrich Rückert, Wisdom of the Brahmins, a didactic poem, Charles T. Brooks in 1882 – above is unfortunately only a clumsy first translation by Robinson/Benking as we could only get hold of the original German version. this is a critical translation issue: WALLS & BOUNDARIES are „man-made“ – They have no equivalent in Nature. The term “Schranken” therefore can be translated as restraining bounds, or semiphors, barriers & temporary permeable or translucent / transparent material/strata/membranes/transition zones).

Transcultural Dialog and Peace-Making Roundtable learning from experience during the last 40 years and new ideas Stumbling blocks preventing true dialog, peace-making, and reconciliation: 1) we fight over words but do not check the meaning, 2) we do not question and compare the values attached to statements and attitudes, 3) we do not contextualize and embody concepts and meaning, do not check the sectors, regions, scales, proportions and consequences of alternative actions, 4) we do not give voice, empower, listen, cherish and cultivate difference or variety in dialog and decision making, 5) Disorientation and dumbing-down in Cyberculture and a mis-administered and misunderstood, intangible “ Globalisation / Glocalisation ”: Where we get overloaded by communication noise (sign/symbol melange) and media demagogy which means: no trust and fidelity in the statements and no ways and means to check the credibility and impact/relevance, and get lost between the scales, brackets, and sectors. 6) The above incompatibility and incomparability opens the door for over-claims and oversimplifications. Leaders use intangible jargon (plastic-words), neglect impacts and avoid instead of exploring differences and alternatives. e – DISCUSSION ON ACHIEVING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT "Implementing the internationally agreed goals and commitments in regard to sustainable development" .

64. Vegetarianism: Essential to Save the Planet? TWITTER UN-COP 15 – CopenVegan, Dec. 13, 2009 This "Pitch“ of 10 Minutes to open the "Magic-Roundtable“ Open-Space section of the event, was designed to focus on what has been going on around Environmental Research and Management and Capacity Building during the last 40 years. The "Pitch“ is an invitation to go beyond the "winning“ argument of other lifestyles, diets, greater compassion towards all living things; reduction of suffering; and urges concerted action in all sectors. It argues that contributions towards caring for the soils, the water, healthy environment, energy efficiency and life-cycle thinking are a must in order to attain the objective of peaceful survival of living thing which is only possible by caring for the whole Creation on this planet. Mapping out our reach for and sharing of common grounds and insisting on the credibility of the whole proces in a workable and repeatable participative deliberation processis seen as an essential first step towards shared ( embodied ) covenants which give room for coexistence of oikos , ecumene , ecudomy and not just the juxtaposition of economy and ecology. Needed is a New Renaissance . Concretion and embodiment in times of Global Change.

Kritik Dominanz westlicher Werte
Unsere gemeinsame Zukunft: Entstehung einer "Welt-Innenpolitik" seit 1989/90 Agenda 21: "Die Menschheit steht an einem entscheidenden Punkt ihrer Geschichte. Die Welt ist mit der Tatsache konfrontiert, dass Armut, Hunger, Krankheit und Analphabetismus um sich greifen und dass die Ökosysteme, von denen unser Wohlergehen abhängt, immer mehr in Mitleidenschaft gezogen werden. Die Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich ist nach wie vor unverändert. Der einzige Weg, der uns eine sicherere und blühendere Zukunft bescheren kann, besteht darin, Umwelt- und Entwicklungsfragen gleichermassen und miteinander anzugehen. (...) Keine Nation kann sich ihre Zukunft allein sichern; gemeinsam ist es aber möglich - in einer weltweiten Partnerschaft für eine nachhaltige Entwicklung." Die Schweiz hat sich in Rio, zusammen mit 181 anderen Staaten, auf eine Politik der NE verpflichtet. Johannesburg: World Summit on Sustainable Development WSSD - die grossen Hoffnungen von Rio sind ernüchterter Kleinarbeit gewichen. Die Zahl der Staaten, Organisationen, Gruppierungen hat aber deutlich zugenommen. Globalisierung ist weiter fortgeschritten. Bildung hat deutlich an Stellenwert gewonnen! In der Schweiz: Nationaler Kongress zur BNE in Bern, November 2002 Millennium Development Goals: 1. Beseitigung der extremen Armut und des Hungers (bis 2015 halbieren!) 2. Grundschulbildung für alle 3. Förderung der Gleichstellung der Geschlechter und Ermächtigung der Frau 4. Senkung der Kindersterblichkeit 5. Verbesserung der Gesundheit von Müttern 6. Bekämpfung von HIV/Aids, Malaria und anderen Krankheiten 7. Sicherung der ökologischen Nachhaltigkeit 8. Aufbau einer weltweiten Partnerschaft für Entwicklung Von der Umweltbildung zur Bildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung: - EE/UB entstand in 70er Jahren im Norden, war v.a. auf Industrieländer und Schwellenländer zentriert - ESD/BNE entstand in 90er Jahren global, als Weiterentwicklung; Perspektive des Südens stärker!
