This document discusses the public realm in cities. It defines public realm as shared communal space like parks, plazas, pathways, and streets. Public spaces influence city form and function through daily community interactions. The aim of public realm is for individuals to experience place together as a community, either directly or indirectly participating in public life. Examples of public realm components discussed include streets, parks, plazas, and art in public spaces. Properties like imageability, accessibility, meaning, continuity, choice, and flexibility are important to planning and designing liveable public spaces.
Placemaking: Building our Cities around placesPriya Vakil
ThinkPhi is on a journey to build cities that are healthy and sustainable. We are doing this by using Placemaking - a design philosophy that explores how spaces in a community can be better utilised.
And this is philosophy, we constantly use when having discussion on helping design sustainable cities.

Public spaces are an important asset to our cities. They provide people many opportunities to come together and engage with the community. If public spaces are successful, they are inclusive of the diversity of groups present in our cities and create a social space for everyone in the society to participate in.
Urban design is concerned with the arrangement, appearance and function of our suburbs, towns and cities. It is both a process and an outcome of creating localities in which people live, engage with each other, and engage with the physical place around them.
The Congress for the New Urbanism views disinvestment in centr.docxrtodd643
The Congress for the New Urbanism views disinvestment in central cities, the
spread of placeless sprawl, increasing separation by race and income, environmental
deterioration, loss of agricultural lands and wilderness, and the erosion of society’s
built heritage as one interrelated community-building challenge.
We stand for the restoration of existing urban centers and towns within coherent
metropolitan regions, the reconfiguration of sprawling suburbs into communities of
real neighborhoods and diverse districts, the conservation of natural environments,
and the preservation of our built legacy.
We advocate the restructuring of public policy and development practices to
support the following principles: neighborhoods should be diverse in use and
population; communities should be designed for the pedestrian and transit as well
as the car; cities and towns should be shaped by physically defined and universally
accessible public spaces and community institutions; urban places should be framed
by architecture and landscape design that celebrate local history, climate, ecology,
and building practice.
We recognize that physical solutions by themselves will not solve social and economic
problems, but neither can economic vitality, community stability, and environmental
health be sustained without a coherent and supportive physical framework.
We represent a broad-based citizenry, composed of public and private sector
leaders, community activists, and multidisciplinary professionals. We are committed
to reestablishing the relationship between the art of building and the making
of community, through citizen-based participatory planning and design.
We dedicate ourselves to reclaiming our homes, blocks, streets, parks, neighborhoods,
districts, towns, cities, regions, and environment.

1) Metropolitan regions are finite places with
geographic boundaries derived from topography,
watersheds, coastlines, farmlands, regional parks,
and river basins. The metropolis is made of
multiple centers that are cities, towns, and villages,
each with its own identifiable center and edges.
2) The metropolitan region is a fundamental
economic unit of the contemporary world.
Governmental cooperation, public policy, physical
planning, and economic strategies must reflect
this new reality.
3) The metropolis has a necessary and fragile
relationship to its agrarian hinterland and natural
landscapes. The relationship is environmental,
economic, and cultural. Farmland and nature are
as important to the metropolis as the garden is
to the house.
4) Development patterns should not blur or
eradicate the edges of the metropolis. Infill
development within existing urban areas
conserves environmental resources, economic
investment, and social fabric, while reclaiming
marginal and abandoned areas. Metropolitan
regions should develop strategies to encourage
such infill development over peripheral expans.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Public Realm In Cities
UDAY YADAV
ROLL NO – 19
GUIDE- MS.BEENA NARAIN
Public realm is defined as space that is shared communally by the public.
Public space is intimately linked to the ideas of universal access, the common ground, and shared
amenities.
Examples include parks, plazas, pedestrian pathways, and streets, indoor spaces such as atriums,
shopping centres, and community centres.
Rooftop and community gardens,
and street cafes demonstrate
new examples of public spaces
that are emerging as significant
components of the public realm
landscape.
Public spaces influence the
form and function of cities and
the daily interactions that take
place at the community level.
2. AIM of A Public Realm
Essentially the public realm is a place for
individuals to come together as a community and
experience the place.
This can occur in such a way where the user of the
public realm is either directly or indirectly
participating in the public life.
3. Rationale For Selection Of This T
•
Public space is integral to the concept of
liveability and the social, economic and
environmental viability of communities.
•
Planners and designers undertaking
revitalization efforts have made (and
continue to make) decisions about preferred
living environments.
•
Planning and design of the public realm often
excludes the end user thereby creating
inappropriate and meaningless spaces.
•
An analysis of form and function through use,
access and perception is useful in terms of
planning for a liveable environment that is
valued by the local and surrounding
communities.
4. Investment in Public Space
Increases safety and a reduced fear of crime;
It can improve residential neighbourhoods,
safeguarding property values and increasing
attractiveness to visitors;
Create economic and social development
opportunities.
The vast web of streets, parks (green areas) and
plazas that define the public realm is often lacking,
too poorly planned, or without adequate citizen
participation in the design process.
5. Streets
They mould the urban form and carry public
utilities that a city needs to function.
They provide people with the capacity to move
and communicate and they are the setting for
businesses and exchange of services and
goods.
6. Parks and Plazas
A plaza can be any gathering place on a street or
between buildings, a street intersection with a
statue, etc.
7. ART in public space
Art in public spaces brings enormous value to the
citizens while promoting a more creative
environment.
Therefore, sculptures, fountains, on screen visuals
and other forms of public displays of art should
continue to be encouraged and recognised to
enhance our public spaces in the years that
follow.
8. Fundamentals Of Planning And
Through social life in the public realm, people
broaden their scope of social awareness and
become attune to how people from different
socio-economic and cultural backgrounds live.
Children for example, learn about the people in
their community, and how to interact and relate
with them on a daily basis through life in public.
While this is important for all persons, the
experience of observing others is particularly
important for the social development of children.
9. PROPERTIES OF THE PUBLIC REALM
IMAGEABILITY
A public realm with sidewalks, grass medians
elaborately planted with native plants, and a
central square that is enlivened by an outdoor
community art exhibit or a local farmers'
market, conveys not only beauty, vibrancy,
and activity, but a strong community spirit.
ACCESSIBILITY
There is often a fine line between private and
public spaces because visual cues in the
landscape do not always communicate what
spaces may or may not be accessible to the
public. This can be avoided by providing clear
demarcations through signage, vegetative
barriers, paving design, etc. Which can reduce
uncertainty through increased legibility.
10. MEANING
Imageability and meaning are interrelated.
When images are clear to users of the
environment, they are able to use space more
freely — taking from and adding to the
meaning that exists
CONTINUITY
Continuity is essential to creating meaning in
the environment.
For example, continuity among buildings,
paths, vegetation, etc. can create definition,
context, "sense of arrival", and also continuity
to the experience of place.
11. CHOICE
Opportunities for choice can occur through
diversity in the environment or flexibility in
design.
For example, plazas can be designed with
moveable chairs so that people using the
space have a choice in how they will
appropriate the space and feel comfortable in
it.
FLEXIBILITY
A design that is flexible enough to allow smallscale change is critical to the development of
liveable communities.
