CSOs, MAPAS and SDAs: Different contexts divergent theories of changeIRC
The document discusses different approaches to monitoring water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services across various regions. It notes there are divergent theories of change reflected in different monitoring methods used in Africa, East Asia, Latin America, and South Asia due to varying regional contexts. The monitoring approaches range from in-depth analysis to light political tracking, with trade-offs around country relevance versus global consistency and participatory versus audit processes. Roles in WASH monitoring are identified for countries, which develop and act on their theories of change, versus global actors, which provide methods, analysis, and tracking of inputs and outcomes.
Tebodin delivered a new resin emulsion plant for DSM NeoResins+ in the Netherlands six weeks ahead of schedule and on budget in November 2008. They used AVEVA PDMS for the design, which allowed for concurrent work between disciplines and early prefabrication. This helped reduce clashes and rework, saving time. DSM was able to review the detailed 3D model throughout the design process. The PDMS model was also used for fabrication and on-site construction, further improving coordination.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
This was my first attempt to bring ideas for rebuilding New Orleans to the City Council (November 17, 2005). The ideas were unanimously affirmed by the City Council, and they also decided to adopt one of the recommendations ON-THE-SPOT by the City Council President (Oliver Thomas). They also agreed to seriously consider the other proposals. The City Council was so impressed by this initial presentation that they invited me to return a month later (Dec 15, 2005) to expand my presentation. Their enthusiasm disappeared when they (City Council, primarily through the influence of Councilwoman Cynthia Willard-Lewis) discovered that I was a Conservative Republican. All subsequent attempts to bring forth ideas were thwarted by the Liberal Democrat-led City Council (from Dec 2005 through my last attempt in Sep 2007). Today (as of Oct 2012), the Lower 9th Ward continues to languish.

1. Overview of Lower Ninth Ward Rebuilding Plan
―In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.
From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be
managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of
the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the
capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the
burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher
price.‖ (Ronald Reagan, Jan 20, 1981)

18. BedZed STEP 2A - ―THE SOLAR COMMUNITY‖
BedZED, the Beddington Zero Energy
Development, is an environmentally-friendly,
energy-efficient mix of housing and work
space in Beddington, Sutton. BedZED will
only use energy from renewable sources
generated on site. It is the first large-scale
‗carbon neutral‘ community - i.e. the first not
to add to the amount of carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere. BedZED shows how
housing can be built without degrading the
environment. BedZED turns a former
sewage works into a community of 100
properties for sale and rent, a childcare
facility and plenty of green space, including
private gardens.
The BedZED urban system reconciles high
density three storey city blocks with high
residential and workspace amenity.
Workspace is placed in the shade zones of
south facing housing terraces, with
skygardens created on the workspace roofs,
enabling all flats to have outdoor garden
areas, with good access to sunlight, at the
same time as providing well daylit workspace
without problematic summer overheating.
The combination of superinsulation, a wind
driven ventilation system incorporating heat
recovery, and passive solar gain stored
within each flat by thermally massive floors
and walls - reduces the need for both
electricity and heat to the point where a 130
kw wood fuelled chp station can meet the
energy requirements for a community of
around 240 residents and 200 workers.

THE FUTURE
NOW
British engineering firm, Arup, is working as a strategic partner with Shanghai
Industrial Investment Corporation (SIIC) on the integrated masterplanning for the
world‘s first sustainable city.
At three quarters the size of Manhattan and located on the third largest island in
China at the mouth of the Yangtse river, Dongtan will be developed on 630
hectares of land as a sustainable city to attract a range of commercial and leisure
investments.
Ecologically sensitive design will be a key element of the masterplan. The site is
mostly agricultural land adjacent to a huge wetland of global importance. This will
be a significant opportunity to apply our integrated sustainability and urban
planning expertise to the benefit of the eco-city
SIIC’s vision is to create a development with low energy consumption
that is as close to being carbon neutral as possible. This urban centre,
where people will be able to live and work in a high-quality
environment, could be the template for sustainability in city planning,
not only in China but elsewhere in the world.
