New York City is located on the eastern coast of the United States at the mouth of the Hudson River. It has five boroughs - Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. Manhattan has the most famous grid plan layout devised in 1811, dividing most of the island into rectangular blocks and wide avenues. New York City deals with air quality and climate change issues through policies like promoting public transportation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

HURRICANE KATRINA: A MAN-MADE CRISIS?
“The New Orleans we all thought we knew is dead,” said the city’s former mayor Marc
Morial after Hurricane Katrina ended the good times for the Big Easy, as the city is often
called.1 Long before the Katrina disaster in the summer of 2005, Morial had criticized the
city’s founders for selecting a site with so many water management problems.2 New
Orleans was founded on a perilous location—a natural levee adjacent to the massive
Mississippi river that was not embayed and therefore not protected from flooding.
Geologists Kolb and Van Loplin described the location as “a land between earth and the
sea—belonging to neither and alternately claimed by both.”3
Even the city’s first chief engineer, Del la tour, considered the site inappropriate, but Jean
Baptiste La Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, a French colonizer, believed that the site was
strategically important for trade between North America and the rest of the world. The
Mississippi River, with its vast network of tributaries, provided a splendid transportation
system into the expansive interior of North America. Bienville believed that by
reconstructing the landscape, the threat of the river’s floodwaters could be overcome. His
decision to establish New Orleans as the capital of Louisiana in 1718 marked the
beginning of a constant struggle by city authorities to keep the city dry. In fact, Bienville
himself had to wait for water from the 1717 floods to recede before establishing the city
on the peak of the natural levee that rose about 12 feet above sea level. That spot was still
subject to regular flooding, but it was the best possible location because it was less
susceptible to inundation than the rest of the levee ...

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
