This document summarizes a study comparing the charitable landscapes of two contrasting neighborhoods in southeast England - an affluent village and a deprived housing estate. The village had many more registered charities per person that were more sustainable over time. Most charities in the estate were larger organizations funded by government to meet basic needs. Residents of the village had more skills and engagement in informal charitable activities. The study found differences rather than inequalities between the areas and questions their capacity to participate equally in reducing public services.
The document discusses the evolution of urban planning from traditional urbanism to sprawl and proposals for new urbanism.

Smart city: Case Study Seoul, North KoreaSandeEp VeRma
The document discusses Seoul, South Korea as a smart city, highlighting several aspects of its smart infrastructure and initiatives. Seoul aims to utilize smart technologies through its 'Smart Seoul 2015' project to improve urban development. Key smart infrastructure projects discussed include: (1) embedding fiber-optic cable along subway tunnels to provide free public Wi-Fi, (2) installing smart meters to reduce energy use by 10%, (3) mobile apps and services to provide public information and emergency alerts, and (4) using 3D spatial information for flood simulation and infrastructure planning.

The 2030 Seoul Plan draft outlines Seoul's vision and spatial structure for the next 20 years. It divides Seoul into 5 regions and establishes 3 main centers, 7 regional centers and 12 local centers. The plan aims to create a people-centered city with a strong job market, vibrant culture, and safe, stable communities through 12 initiatives addressing issues like welfare, jobs, environment and transportation. The spatial structure focuses on preserving natural areas and historical resources while connecting centers through transportation and greenway axes to promote balanced development across Seoul.
Across the UK we are seeing more and more examples of smart city transformation. Key 'smart' sectors utilised by such Cities include transport, energy, health care, water and waste. Against the current background of economic, social, security and technological changes caused by the globalization and the integration process, cities in the UK face the challenge of combining competitiveness and sustainable urban development simultaneously.
A smart city is a place where the traditional networks and services are made more efficient with the use of digital and telecommunication technologies, for the benefit of its inhabitants and businesses.
With this vision in mind, the European Union is investing in ICT research and innovation and developing policies to improve the quality of life of citizens and make cities more sustainable in view of Europe's 20-20-20 targets.
The smart city concept goes beyond the use of ICT for better resource use and less emissions. It means smarter urban transport networks, upgraded water supply and waste disposal facilities, and more efficient ways to light and heat buildings.
And it also encompasses a more interactive and responsive city administration, safer and secure public spaces.
Smart Cities UK lead the way on addressing the best practice examples on smart transformation from across Cities within the United Kingdom whilst disseminating guidance and information transformation within waste, energy, transport and other key smart sectors.
Architecture and urban design are public art forms that people experience through their daily activities in cities. While other art forms can be avoided, people cannot choose to avoid experiencing the built environment as they move through urban spaces. Aesthetic preferences in environments are influenced by both natural and learned social and cultural factors, and Jack Nasar identified five attributes of liked environments: naturalness, upkeep, openness, historical significance/content, and order. As people experience cities through movement, Gordon Cullen's concept of "serial vision" describes how urban design can create a series of revelations and contrasts that engage observers as their viewpoint changes.
The document presents several design approaches for a landscape architecture and urban design project along Haloul Road based on traditional Bedouin weaving patterns called Al Sadu. Six Al Sadu patterns are shown that could inspire the public realm design. The approaches include organic, jewelry, and grid concepts that apply the patterns to sidewalks, roads, furnishings and other elements. Concept diagrams illustrate how the patterns could structure a roundabout, bike lanes, walkways and landscaping along the road.
Smart City concept overview with many references from around the world through the eyes of an Enterprise Architect and Urban Technologist. It is also an attempt to assess BSI SCF value proposition and success factors for its implementation. The approach draws also on the work done by The Open Group and other standardization bodies supporting Smart City approach.

Community Conversations was NOT about rehashing problems, or gathering together to complain. It was NOT about other people’s ideas or plans for Ford City, but about listening to the people of the community, building on their ideas and engaging in their meaning…. It is about Seeing THEIR vision for THEIR community, through THEIR eyes!
Community Conversations allowed the people of Ford City to begin to dream together, and as this Brazilian Proverb says…
"When you dream alone,
it remains just a dream.
When you dream together,
it is the beginning of a new reality."

Spirit River Lodge Pre-Award Phase - Community Engagement Session #2TraceyEvans25
During the Pre-Award phase, the consultant team will gather stakeholder input to understand the requirements for a new facility to replace the existing Pleasant View Lodge in Spirit River.
The intent for each of the community engagement sessions is to answer the big question: How does the built environment promote healthy living and sustainable communities? The answers to all of the questions we will ask during theses sessions will drive our design decisions to develop program requirements and the schematic design for the new lodge. We started with the site and common lodge amenities, and then we will work our way inward to the neighbourhoods and resident suites. Our goals for the community engagement sessions are to develop an understanding of the social and cultural context of Spirit River and the surrounding community and to empower the community to shape the project vision.
Session #1 Topic:
On February 4, during the second community engagement session for the pre-award phase for the Spirit River Lodge project, we talked about the important design principles to consider through all of the community engagement sessions, and then we dived into the main discussion; how does the built environment promote healthy living and sustainable communities as it relates to neighbourhoods and the resident suites in the lodge.

Jon Rahl is working to promote recreational activities beyond Seaside, Oregon's famous beach. He is building partnerships with local organizations and deepening knowledge of area attractions. Rahl created a short instructional video about Seaside's new kayak launch that generated over 11,000 views on social media. While the full effects are still unknown, the video has already inspired some regular visitors to buy kayaks and consider moving to Seaside full-time. Rahl sees this as part of an ongoing effort to develop Seaside's natural areas and establish its identity as a destination beyond just the beach.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Town Hall Perspectives
Perspective 1
Unlike any other coastal community in Oregon, Seaside #
is different because it provides both residents and #
visitors with abundant opportunities to nurture families #
and enjoy nature in a safe community atmosphere.
Perspective 2
Unlike any other community in Oregon, Seaside is #
different because vacation feels like home. For people #
who value an authentic small-town feel, Seaside is an #
ideal place to relax, renew, enjoy nature and create #
memories.

Project team’s perspective
It’s not an “us-versus-them-community”
we live in. The young, mature and
everyone in between all want to work
together. If anything, this evening said
that if we do more of JUST THAT, we’ll
be very successful between now and 2034!
