Ppt looks at the context if cities, problems faced/created by cities and options to make cities more sustainable- using mechanism of planned development, compact city,Regional Planning, green mobility, greening cities, technologies, leadership and creating accountability with responsibility
Cities remains unique, universal and complex , invariably evolving, devolving, never finite and never defined. Cities create prosperity, poverty, employment, dichotomy and contradictions. Cities are said to be the future of humanity, but cities are also the reason for climate change, global warming , larger carbon footprints and rising temperature - making cities unsafe- both to the natural and manmade disasters. Making cities sustainable remains a challenge, opportunity, mirage and dream. Heading towards uncontrolled urbanisation, cities are pushing humanity into crisis- crisis of population, crisis of poverty and crisis of pollution. Cities remain anti-thesis to sustainability. Cities don't believe in inclusion and cities dies not treat majority of its inhabitants with respect and dignity -providing basic amenities of life to lead a dignified life. Making cities rational, humane, safe , inclusive, livable and sustainable will remain the greatest challenge on the planet earth.
Building Carbon neutral Cities Through Green RoofJIT KUMAR GUPTA
building are known to be largest consumers of enrgy, resources, water and generators of waste. They consume largest energy and responsible for climate change and global warming. Within buildings roof area remains the arae which is most unused, abused and misused space, which can be effectively leveraged to minimise the adverse impact of buildings on resources, energy, climate change etc. It can cool the buildings, bring down the energy use, make cities free from disasters and do large number of positivity to buildinga, climate, environment . Green roofs remains an area, potential of which remains largely unexplored. It needs to studied, analysed with policy options evolved to make it a distict reality in the buildings

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. • A settlement is a place where people
live and interact through activities
such as agriculture, trading and
entertainment.
• A settlement in Geography helps us to
understand the relationship of
humans with their environment.
5. 3.Soils- The fertility of soils is also another
consideration for agricultural activities.
4.Shelter- Areas which are sheltered from
natural elements. Windswept highlands with
harsh cold climate are conducive for
settlement.
5.Defence- The threat from enemies and
predatory animals driven people to live
together for protection.
9. • This refers to the arrangement of settlements in an
«order of importance», usually from many isolated
dwellings or hamlets at the base of the hierarchy to one
major city at the top.
10.
11. • 1. The area and population of the
settlement
• 2. The range and number of
services/functions within each
settlement
• 3. The relative sphere of influence
of each settlement
12. • Dispersed settlement patterns are those in which
individual houses and farms are widely scattered
throughout the countryside.
Dispersed settlements have no
obvious centre and are often
hamlets spread over fertile
farmland.
Nucleated or clustered settlements
often form at crossroads or route
centres.
• Nucleated settlement patterns are those in which houses
and buildings are tightly clustered around a central
feature such as a church, village green or crossroads.
13. • Linear settlement patterns are those in which
very few houses can be found in the
surrounding fields. They are sometimes
termed hamlets or villages according to their
size and function.
Settlements grow along a road (e.g.
in a narrow valley) or along the
coast.
15. • NYC, London, Tokyo. They have
global influence. Important
international institutions, the main
stock exchanges and large
multinational companies are based
there.
16. • Are capital cities and cities which
have influence in a particular country.
• Government bodies and large
companies are based there. Every
country generally has one or two
national metropolises.
17. • Are cities which influence a particular
region of the country
• Are you able to name any cities like
this in Uruguay?
18. • You can measure levels of urbanisation by calculating
the percentage of the total population living in urban
areas.
• The UN estimates that about 50% of the world´s
population live in urban areas. THE WORLD IS NOW
URBANISED
• MEDCs tend to have high levels of urbanisation.
• LEDCs tend to have low levels of urbanisation. However,
they are urbanising very rapidly.
19. • To help us understand land use, geographers have
drawn models of a «typical» urban settlement.

21. • Towns and cities grow in size and number
as the urban population expands.
• The rapid rate of urbanisation in developed
and developing countries brings a host of
urban problems due to a large increase in
the number of urban dwellers.
• Which are the problems you can think of?
22. • 1.Housing- lack of houses and the inability to afford
proper housing. Development of squattered settlement.
• 2.Water supply- shortage of water supply due to the
demand of water supply and poor piping system.
• 3.Transport- too many cars in major cities. Poor public
transport system.
• 4.Pollution- domestic and industrial waste contribute to
land pollution in urban areas.
• 5. Overcrowding- LEDC cities often have a very high
population density.
• 6. Competition for land- job opportunities and services
tend to be poor in the squattered settlements.
• 7. Disease- poor sanitation, limited healthcare and little
clean water in squattered settlements means that there is
a high risk of disease.
23.
24. 1.Housing – provide high rise flats.
• –Provide low cost housing to relocate slum dwellers and squatters.
• –Improve the living conditions of slums and squatter settlements instead of removing
them by providing piped water and sanitation.
• 2. Water supply- to increase water supply it is important to build more reservoirs.
• –To improve the quality of water, more treatment plants should be built and old rusty
pipes must be replaced.
• –Educate the public in the virtues of water conservation.
•
• 3. Transport- to ease congestion in the developed countries, road and railways
network have to extended.
• – Build extensive expressways and wider roads to ensure smooth flow of traffic.
• –Encourage to use public transport to reduce traffic congestion.
•
• 4. Pollution- several ways to curb pollution
• -Impose fines to protect the environment such as littering and emission of excessive
exhaustion fumes.
• –Water pollution- increase the number of sewerage pipes in the city.
• –Increase awareness of health, hygiene and illnesses of pollutions.
