This document summarizes an educational workshop held by the MIT mobile experience lab in collaboration with RATP, Paris. Over the course of the semester, 13 graduate students from MIT studied how 10 million daily Paris metro riders could be viewed as a resource. They developed ideas around crowd connections, fluid city-transportation connections, and new economic models. Their work culminated in presentations of concepts for sociable spaces, learning spaces, cultural spaces, and commercial spaces to RATP in Paris and Cambridge.
The recent evolution of mobile auto-identification technologies invites firms to connect to mobile work in altogether new ways. By strategically embedding “smart” devices, organizations involve individual subjects and real objects in their corporate information flows, and execute more and more business pro- cesses through such technologies as mobile Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID). The imminent path from mobility to pervasiveness focuses entirely on improving organizational performance measures and metrics of success. Work itself, and the dramatic changes these technologies introduce to the organiza- tion and to the role of the mobile worker are by and large ignored. The aim of this chapter is to unveil the key changes and challenges that emerge when mobile landscapes are “tagged”, and when mobile workers and mobile auto-identification technologies work side-by-side. The motivation for this chapter is to encourage thoughts that appreciate auto-identification technologies and their socio-technical impact on specific mobile work practices and on the nature of mobile work in general.

Las tecnologías ubicuas que nos ofrecen diariamente una nueva flexibilidad que facilita nuestra vida personal proporcionan al mismo tiempo los medios para localizarnos. Esta presentación examinará cómo las interacciones registradas con infraestructuras “soft” contemporáneas revelan elementos de nuestra movilidad e indicadores para evaluar el entorno híbrido urbano. Consideraré la aspereza y las grietas de esta emergente capa de información. Sin embargo, en vez de analizar una perspectiva utilitarista que modela la ciudad como un sistema y busca mejorar su eficiencia, me centraré en el lado humano de los datos y cómo su subjetividad y contingencia alteran nuestra relación con el espacio.

La mia presentazione dal titolo "Citynet - The City as Macro-Media" presentata al symposium "Spaces, Images, Communication: Improving New Urban Models" da me organizzato per il festival Screen City (Stavanger - NO)
This presentation discusses the results of recent research conducted by Paskaleva on European trends on smart cities in the context of open innovation. It draws from analyses of key European Union programmes, latest international projects and related activities. The emerging new approach to open innovation is discussed that links technologies with people, the urban territory and other cities to reap the benefits of modern technological and social advance. It is suggested that using open innovation for building the smart (-er) city can be effective, efficient and sustainable but consistent frameworks, principles and strategic agendas are necessary to optimally bind these elements together.
On November 14th 2016 the Urban Transformations programme, funded by the ESRC, kicked off the first knowledge exchange activity by bringing together academics and practitioners in the research/policy field of urban transformations from all over Europe. This workshop was the first of a series entitled Bridging European Urban Transformations that has been established in partnership between the Urban Transformations programme led by the University of Oxford at COMPAS and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), particularly with the Brussels Centre for Urban Studies. In this post-Brexit era, commitment and willingness to cooperate seems more important than ever before. Therefore, the workshop series, which runs from November 2016 to October 2017, emphasises the value of connections between institutions and key players in the field of urban transformations in the UK and in the rest of Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

13. Sociable Spaces
Games – promotion of social interaction between passengers
MIT mobile experience lab
14. “People are often skeptical of any interaction in the Metro because
they're trying to figure out what's being sold or asked of them. We
believe that games could help this in two basic ways: games can
generate a shared experience that makes it easier to interact with
strangers and games provide strong rules about the interactions
between players.”

15. Platform Games
Travellers on opposite platforms are seperated by a unbridgeable gap. One could think
of games that can be played with or against travellers on the other platform.

17. “We believe that transforming the Paris Metro into a cultural space
is an obvious and necessary action. In the global network of cities,
Paris’ competitive advantage is based on culture.
Thus, Metro 2.0 must capitalize on the city’s cultural assets but must
think beyond the traditional museums and monuments that grace the
streets above the underground Metro network. Instead, the Metro
should transform itself into a dynamic cultural landscape that
harnesses the creativity and talents of its passengers to create an
unparalleled cultural experience. In this way, the Metro itself can
become a cultural resource for Paris’ residents and visitors.”

20. “Our analysis proved that the Metro space is a fertile environment for
the enhancement of different types of learning. The main goals that
guided our proposals were:
- to engage both the collective and the individual knowledge at
different levels
- to reestablish connections between the (disorienting)
underground space and the above-ground city level
- and to optimize the information each Metro rider wishes to reach
and make it available, even to passengers who have not integrated
high technology in their everyday lives.”
Learning Spaces
Collective and individual knowledge and customized information

21. Learning about the city, people and everything
The proposed system of learning opportunities includes La Fenetre roulante,
Metropose and Metropoll and Papier vivant, a customized newspaper.

23. “Since commuting is a necessary part of everyday life, we set out to
find revenue-generating complementary services. Therefore, our ideas
take into the unique temporal characteristics of the underground.
The central idea to our project was to promote the RATP as more than
just a provider of public transportation. To do this we believe RATP
needs to extend its brand aboveground and move into a new space. Our
principal idea was for the RATP buy/lease stores next to the metro
entrances to offer essential services to everyday commuters. RATP
agents would staff these stores, acting as liaison between the rider and
the RATP services. These “Services Voisins” include dry cleaning and
simple food provision. These services would be streamlined and
efficient, so as to integrate seamlessly into the rider’s commute.”
