Georgetown has well-preserved heritage buildings and a focus on pedestrian accessibility, but less efficient transportation. Kuching has a clean environment, low crime, and high cultural value but the least developed transportation and fewer heritage sites compared to the other cities.
The Hoyt model is a modification of the concentric zone model that proposes cities grow in sectors or "wedges" along transportation routes like roads, railways, or rivers. Land use remains consistent within each sector, so wealthy areas remain wealthy as poorer uses like industry are located farther from residential zones. While the Hoyt model explains growth patterns in some older cities, it does not account for factors like private automobile use, edge cities, or changes to downtown business districts over time. Physical geography and leapfrog development can also impact sector growth.

Eco City Development towards Developing Low Carbon SocietyMD. SAIDUR RAHMAN
This presentation focuses on eco-city development initiatives in developing countries towards developing low carbon society. Rapid urbanization in developing countries may be the most significant demographic transformation in our century as it restructures national economies and reshapes the lives of billions of people. At the same time, urbanization has also contributed to environmental and socioeconomic challenges, including climate change, pollution, congestion, and the rapid growth of slums. But as a major style of residential environment, city, has been endowed new contents by new ideas ever emerged in the history and eco-city development has emerged as a way to address climate change issues in the context of developing sustainable cities in developing countries. Eco-cities have the potential to address many of the problems like climate change and socio-economic aspects associated with urban development, as does the concept of sustainable development in an urban setting. Drawing on lessons learned from the planning and development process of several low-carbon eco-cities, this paper explores the potential of an integrated urbanism approach for developing countries. The objective is not only to mitigate factors contributing to climate change, but to manage risk, maximize resilience, and promote the successful economic and social growth of the urban eco community in developing countries. An integrated urbanism approach to planning may give us the tools to leapfrog the environmental and public health costs of economic progress and create a new model for cities across the developing world.
The document outlines a six-step process for creating a shared vision to make a city healthy and active over the next 20 years. The steps include: learning about existing problems, raising awareness of health issues, establishing a joint vision, developing a strategy, taking action, and evaluating progress. The vision is of a city with mixed land use, active transportation, green spaces, access to healthcare and jobs, social cohesion, and engaged leadership to monitor goals.
This document is an introduction to an edited book on green cities published by the Asian Development Bank in 2012.

The architect designed the complex to incorporate green spaces between buildings and bring the buildings to a human scale with lower blocks in front and higher blocks in back.
Sustainable development aims to meet current needs without compromising the environment for future generations, as defined in 1987. It calls on individuals and communities to consider how their actions today may affect the environment and society long-term. Sustainable development emphasizes solutions and working together at a local level to build a more environmentally-conscious future.
Homer Hoyt developed the sector theory or sector model of urban land use in 1939 as an alternative to the concentric zone model. The sector model posits that a city develops in wedge-shaped sectors centered around major transportation routes rather than concentric circles. Land uses cluster around transportation routes, with industry locating near ports, railroads, or roads. Residential areas then develop, with lower income housing nearer the industrial areas and transportation. Middle and high-income housing is located further out. The model was applied to Chicago and found to accurately describe the city's development around railroad lines.
The Burgess model describes the patterns of land use in cities with concentric zones expanding outward from the center. The center zone (CBD) is the oldest part of the city containing commercial areas. The transition zone immediately outside the CBD is mixed-use and undergoing renewal. The inner city zone further out typically contains older terraced housing and some industry. The inner and outer suburbs zones contain newer housing, parks, and other amenities spreading to the edges of the city. The model assumes socio-economic status decreases with distance from the CBD.

This document provides an overview of cluster development as an alternative to conventional subdivision development. It discusses how cluster development groups residential properties closer together to utilize the rest of the land for open space. The purposes of cluster development include creating more open space, encouraging integrated site design, and protecting environmentally sensitive areas. Benefits include more preserved land, better stormwater management, and making more ecological and economic sense compared to conventional subdivisions. The document defines various cluster development terminology and discusses planning guidelines and articles related to cluster development.
Patterns of land use in towns and citiesjaganshettar
This document discusses patterns of land use in towns and cities. It begins by listing common land uses found in urban areas like offices, shops, factories, housing, parks, and educational institutions. It then explains that while all towns are different, most have developed in a similar pattern from the central business district outward. An urban model is presented to illustrate the typical zones of land use from the CBD to inner city industrial and residential areas, and further out to inner and outer suburbs with newer housing, industrial parks, and open spaces. The document concludes by noting that land values are highest near the CBD and transportation routes, and decrease with greater distance from the center.
Ebenezer Howard's 1898 work contrasted rural and urban life, proposing "Garden Cities" that incorporated the best of both, such as Letchworth (1903) and Welwyn Garden City (1920). While well-intentioned, garden cities often functioned merely as dormitories for larger cities and did not fully achieve their egalitarian vision. Bid rent theory shows how much different sectors are willing to pay for land in various locations, with retail highest in the city center and residential uses on the outskirts. Variations of this model account for factors like transportation intersections and suburban centers.
This document summarizes the development of energy services in Lebanon, specifically energy auditing.

During 2017, Panasonic announced the mass production of its 650 V products and Exagan successfully produced its first high voltage devices on 8-inch wafers. Other players are in the final phase of R&D or qualification for their GaN products to be launched in 2018. In both cases, manufacturers and clients are pushing to use GaN HEMTs in emerging technologies.
Yole Développement differentiates the Power GaN supply chain into two main models: the Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM) model and the foundry model. We think that both IDM and foundry models will co-exist while there are different needs on the market, for example in consumer and industrial applications. In addition to the existing models, China is introducing a model with an R&D research center or design center, an external epitaxial supplier and a foundry for manufacturing, to support large-scale demand in the future.
This report furnishes an overview of the GaN power industry, covering the value chain from epitaxy and device design to device processing. It updates the supply chain and there is an overview of the year’s investments.

IRJET-Power Efficient Implementation of Asynchronous Counter using Intelligen...IRJET Journal
This document discusses an intelligent clock gating technique to reduce power consumption in VLSI sequential circuits. It describes implementing the technique on an asynchronous counter in Xilinx Vivado and comparing the power with and without clock gating. With intelligent clock gating, the asynchronous counter design saw a 21.57% reduction in dynamic power consumption from 3.432W to 2.692W. Intelligent clock gating automatically inserts clock enable signals to turn off unused portions of the design, reducing unnecessary switching without affecting functionality or timing constraints. This allows significant power savings to be achieved with less manual effort compared to traditional clock gating techniques.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
