Downtown & Infill Tax Increment Districts: Strategies for SuccessVierbicher
Tax Increment Financing (TIF) is the #1 local funding source for revitalization of downtowns and urban areas. Such areas face far different challenges than industrial parks or mixed-use neighborhoods when it comes to formulation and implementation of TIF plans. When used successfully in urban areas and downtowns, TIF can not only grow jobs and property tax base, but also serve as a tool for remediating environmental contamination, integrating green design into infrastructure and the built environment, reestablishing a community’s commercial core, improving bikeability, and retrofitting a suburban-style development pattern into walkable urban streets.

Decarbonising Buildings in Cities and Regions.pptxOECDregions
A net-zero carbon future cannot happen without decarbonising buildings, since buildings and the construction sector account for nearly 40% of energy-related global CO2 emissions. The OECD project on “Decarbonising Buildings in Cities and Regions” aims to identify best practices and challenges for both national and subnational governments in driving the decarbonisation of buildings.

ONS Local has been established by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) to support evidence-based decision-making at the local level. We aim to host insightful events that connect our users with exciting developments happening in subnational statistics and analysis at the ONS and across other organisations.
On the 16th February ONS released an update estimating that the Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy (LCREE) turnover and employment estimates are both at their highest level since the first comparable figures in 2015. This is an exciting development from an environmental economics perspective, as it seems to demonstrate growth well above average when compared to the UK economy as a whole.
These estimates were generated by the LCREE business survey which is run by ONS’ Environment Division on an annual basis. The survey goes out to ~25,000 businesses each year asking questions on economic performance within 17 predefined low carbon and renewable energy sectors.
This webinar explored key trends from this exciting 2021 iteration of the survey. In addition development plans were presented, including the potential links to ongoing Green Jobs development work, in particular the potential to explore additional regional estimates.
If you have any questions, please contact ons.local@ons.gov.uk
In 2017 I gave a lunchtime Webinar presentation on the opensource mapping solution OpenStreetMap which is rapidly growing in terms of coverage, detail and re-usability.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
