Cities around the world are facing challenges brought about by rapid increases in population and geographic spread, which places greater pressure on infrastructure and services. Climate change impacts, including rising sea level, more frequent and severe storms, coastal erosion and declining freshwater sources will likely exacerbate these urban issues, in particular in poor and vulnerable communities that lack adequate infrastructure and services.
Globally, the impacts of climate change on urban areas have received less attention than on rural areas where poverty levels are higher and populations depend directly on climate-sensitive livelihoods. However, more than 50% of the world’s population currently lives in cities. By 2050, this figure is expected to increase to 70%, or 6.4 billion people, and Asian cities are likely to account for more than 60% of this increase. Urban areas are the economic powerhouses that support both the aspirations of the poor and most national economies. Furthermore, urban residents and the economic activity they generate depend on systems that are fragile and often subject to failure under the combination of climate and development pressures. If urban systems fail, the potential direct and indirect impacts of climate change on urban residents in general, on poor and vulnerable populations, and on the wider economy is massive. As a result, work on urban climate resilience is of critical importance in overall global initiatives to address the impacts of climate change.
The Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN) works at the intersection of climate change, urban systems and social vulnerability to consider both direct and indirect impacts of climate change in urban areas.

Spatial planning is increasingly being considered as an important mechanism in coping with flood risk due to climate change. One of the reasons for this is that engineering approaches are increasingly expensive and cannot provide complete certainty of protection against climate-related floods. The thesis examines whether and how spatial planning is used in urban areas to promote resilience to flood
risk and climate change. In this study, planning is considered as the regulation of physical implementation as well as the process of policy-making that guides spatial development. This process mainly involves the interaction and collaboration between actors (both public and private).
The notion of resilience is being used more and more in discussions of complex issues like the impact of climate-related flood risks on spatial development. The interpretations of resilience can vary significantly depending on the local context,
the focus of spatial development and the interests of the actors involved in decision- making. The study proposes six characteristics of planning decision-making that
can help to promote the resilience of cities. These comprise: (i) considering the current situation, (ii) examining trends and future threats, (iii) learning from previous experience, (iv) setting goals, (v) initiating actions, and (vi) involving the public. The importance of these characteristics over time for policy and practice is examined according to empirical evidence from detailed case study analysis. Six case studies are presented, four in Taiwan and two in the Netherlands. In all of the case studies, the issue of flood risk and spatial development is considered important by policy- makers, but the planning strategies used to tackle climate-related flood risks are often different, as are the experiences of flooding and governance arrangements.
The information gathered is primarily based on interviews and the review of planning policies, government reports and research documents.
Comparative analysis is a central focus of the study. The analysis has both a national and international perspective, comparing cases within Taiwan and between Taiwan and the Netherlands. The national comparison examines the way in which local planning governance is addressed in shaping decisions to deal with flood risks. This can vary among cases which share similar spatial development objectives and national institutional framework. The international comparison between Taiwan and the Netherlands examines the roles of planning to promote urban resilience in the context of flood risk and climate change.
Three conclusions can be drawn. First, the interpretation of resilience is dependent on the views and interests of the actors involved. These change over time and can be seen in different episodes of policy-making. Second, the importance of the different

Un’agenda sostenibile per Bassano città del sapereVoD_group
Il progetto “Bassano città del sapere” propone un percorso di rigenerazione dello sviluppo metropolitano grazie alla crescita delle risorse umane e della produzione creativa. Fasi di lavoro:
1. lettura degli ecosistemi di Bassano: risorse umane, produzione, città, ambiente;
2.ipotesi di organizzazione di un'agenda aperta e collaborativa fra Pubblica Amministrazione, imprese, ricerca.
Il progetto pone il problema della rivalutazione
ambientale della connessione fra hub della conoscenza
alla stazione e al centro storico.
Il tema diventa l’aumento della biodiversità urbana
a fine estetico e produttivo, in quanto si vogliono
sperimentare forme di agricoltura urbana. Il centro di
questo progetto è costituito dal nodo del parco Parolini,
al quale si aggiungono in rete i micro nodi e gli interstizi
verdi presenti in città. Questo progetto ha scopo
educativo, in quanto vuole accrescere la sensibilità dei
cittadini verso l’importanza dell’impronta ecologica,
della difesa della biodiversità, del problema della
scarsità delle risorse, a partire da quelle alimentari.
A questo fine si intende procedere attraverso una
matrice che puntualmente descrive i punti di impatto,
positivi e negativi, delle diverse azioni a favore delle
risorse naturali.
La forza della città è legata alla sua capacità di saper attrarre risorse umane dall’esterno, capaci di sviluppare i nuovi processi creativi indispensabili per il rinnovo dell’economia e della società.
L’area del sedime ferroviario e dell’ex ospedale diventano il nuovo ‘magnete’ del mandamento, capace di accogliere studiosi, ricercatori, artisti, da tutto il mondo, per supportare l’industria di Bassano nella sua indispensabile riconversione verso la produzione di oggetti ‘intelligenti’ a seguito dell’avvento dell’Internet of things.
I manufatti coniugano un’alta
capacità di connettività con una
bassa energia incorporata e un’alta
potenzialità biotica, sono capaci di
autoprodurre cibo ed energia.
La nuova fabbrica dei dati ispira un’architettura ‘open
source’, il cui motore è costituito dalle nuove macchine
di prototipazione digitale, che si può adattare a varie
conformazioni spaziali. Di conseguenza si propone
un semplice modulo base produttivo capace di
assecondare le esigenze dei diversi processi produttivi.
I moduli funzionano per feedback con i produttori e gli
utenti, attraverso la rete, al fine di ottimizzare in tempo
reale il processo di produzione.
La visita alla scuola dell’infanzia
di Crosara di Marostica (Vicenza),
edificio progettato dall’architetto
Sergio Los e realizzato fra il 1972 e
il 1975, è l’occasione per abbozzare
i principali momenti di evoluzione
del progetto sostenibile dagli anni
‘70 ad oggi, specie alla luce delle
possibilità offerte dalla connettività
e dalle tecnologie mini invasive.
Presentazione mostrata a Trento il 21 novembre 2014 al corso "Progettare la scuola nell'era digitale"
Dalla stazione ferroviaria si sviluppa un edificio generatore di nuove opportunità, concepito secondo gli impulsi della progettazione opensource capace di unire opportunità di sviluppo delle risorse umane (studio/progettazione/lavoro collaborativo ecc) allo sviluppo di uno spazio flessibile e iperconnesso.
Presentazione mostrata a Trento il 21 novembre 2014 al corso "Progettare la scuola nell'era digitale"
L'esperienza di Melbourne propone la realizzazione di spazi del sapere a Bassano secondo i principi dell'apertura alla diversità culturale, dell'inclusione sociale, della partecipazione e dello sviluppo della conoscenza di tutti i livelli.
Presentazione mostrata a Trento il 21 novembre 2014 al corso "Progettare la scuola nell'era digitale"
Nel centro di Bassano si apre l'opportunità di ridisegnare lo spazio pubblico dell'ex ospedale come attrattore di flussi creativi attraverso la proposta di un articolato programma centrato sulla crescita della biodiversità.
Presentazione mostrata a Trento il 21 novembre 2014 al corso "Progettare la scuola nell'era digitale"
Lo stoccaggio di dati e la loro manipolazione sono le nuove industrie di base. A questo fine si propone il riutilizzo di alcune fabbriche dismesse.
Presentazione mostrata a Trento il 21 novembre 2014 al corso "Progettare la scuola nell'era digitale"
Il punto cardine del progetto per Bassano è il ripensamento degli spazi del sapere in sintonia sia con il rinnovo dei principi didattici, sia dell'organizzazione degli spazi. A questo fine si propone una rilettura delle esperienze internazionali e si propongono metodi di analisi e monitoraggio del patrimonio esistente.
Presentazione mostrata a Trento il 21 novembre 2014 al corso "Progettare la scuola nell'era digitale"
La traccia del progetto di rigenerazione creativa di Bassano come modello esportabile di rigenerazione urbana guidata dal sapere. La presentazione insiste su due forze guida del progetto: la crescita delle capacità delle risorse umane ed il ruolo dei processi accelerati di innovazione. Il risultato è un metodo di progettazione basato su:
una piattaforma collaborativa cui partecipano la pubblica amministrazione, le imprese, la ricerca;
una infrastruttura in cloud capace di alimentare data base per ottimizzare sia l'organizzazione sociale, sia il rinnovo della produzione;
una produzione continua di elaborazioni creative: i progetti, per alimentare la coesione sociale, la produzione di beni e servizi, la resilienza.
0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.

This presentation, created by Syed Faiz ul Hassan, explores the profound influence of media on public perception and behavior. It delves into the evolution of media from oral traditions to modern digital and social media platforms. Key topics include the role of media in information propagation, socialization, crisis awareness, globalization, and education. The presentation also examines media influence through agenda setting, propaganda, and manipulative techniques used by advertisers and marketers. Furthermore, it highlights the impact of surveillance enabled by media technologies on personal behavior and preferences. Through this comprehensive overview, the presentation aims to shed light on how media shapes collective consciousness and public opinion.
This presentation by Morris Kleiner (University of Minnesota), was made during the discussion “Competition and Regulation in Professions and Occupations” held at the Working Party No. 2 on Competition and Regulation on 10 June 2024.
