The document discusses and compares several urban development models:
1. The low-density model leads to overconsumption of land and car dependence but has some advantages like green spaces.
2. The traditional urban block model is 4-5 times more efficient in land use and infrastructure use than the low-density model. It avoids car dependence and allows for social integration.
3. The Athens Charter model can integrate nature but was criticized for over-scaling and rigid zoning. However, properly scaled low-rise versions provide advantages like access to green spaces and transportation efficiency.
The document discusses water supply challenges facing Bengaluru, India. It notes that while basic water supply is available, the city faces key stresses including depletion of surface water sources, loss of tree cover impacting water availability, multiple drought years reducing reservoir levels, severe groundwater depletion, and reduction in open spaces and water bodies. Without action, the growing population will outpace existing water supply plans, risking a "Day Zero" water crisis.

The Central West Small Area Plan outlines a development plan for approximately 100 acres north and south of Estes Dr. at MLK Blvd. The plan was requested by the community and created through a committee process. It proposes 620 residential units, 100,000 square feet of office space, 25,000 square feet of retail, 30,000 square feet of commercial space, and 65,000 square feet of hotel space. The plan is intended to create a more walkable and bikeable area with community-oriented spaces that addresses traffic concerns through reasonable mitigation measures while improving pedestrian and cyclist access and safety. It also aims to respect existing neighborhoods through buffering and compatible design.
This document discusses a framework for "smart sustainable urban regeneration" (smart-SUR). It proposes that smart-SUR involves three dimensions: 1) Smart institutions that incentivize balanced development, 2) Smart projects that consider both tangible and intangible investments, and 3) Smart funding that de-risks projects and ensures long-term payback. It evaluates sample regeneration projects based on this framework and finds limitations in solely using secondary data. Site visits to projects reveal important institutional and stakeholder dynamics that influence outcomes. The framework emphasizes including stakeholders and independent scientific assessment to help partnerships survive political and economic challenges.
1) Cities can become more sustainable by reducing energy consumption through improving energy efficiency in buildings and transportation. Urbanization has led to urban sprawl and inefficient development in many Central and Eastern European cities.
2) The energy flow in cities can be made more closed and circular by generating energy from various sources within the city like vehicles, buildings, waste, and wastewater and allowing these sources to supply one another through technologies like vehicle-to-grid.
3) Renewable energy sources like solar and wind can be implemented in cities, even dense urban areas, through rooftop solar and micro wind turbines. Nearby renewable energy systems and larger off-site installations can also supply cities.

Climate Change Conference Pape, Rio 2011Colin Beattie
This document discusses tools to assess the carbon emissions of urban development projects. It presents a framework that identifies all sources of carbon emissions in the lifecycle of a development. It then describes two tools - CCAPPrecinct and an eTool - that can model, predict, and monitor the carbon consequences of development pathways over time. It also provides examples of applying the tools to a development in Western Australia and remote settlements. The tools help decision-makers understand mitigation opportunities and targets to reduce carbon emissions from urban planning and infrastructure choices.
The presentation challenges the prevailing view among city planners that denser cities are more sustainable and resilient. There are aspects of low density, suburban development which contain a huge potential for self-sufficiency in key life resources and services. This allows the periphery of the city - the reviled 'urban sprawl' - to be better prepared for the impacts of global warming, than the dense, compact core.

The document discusses solutions for improving urban infrastructure and sustainability in Indian cities. It notes that India's cities will need to accommodate hundreds of millions of new residents in the coming decades, putting strain on resources. It then presents several "small steps" that could be taken to transform cities, including promoting cycling and carpooling to reduce traffic, using algae lamps that absorb carbon dioxide, redeveloping slums through cooperation with residents, and generating fuel and electricity through waste management processes like algae biofuel production and sewage gasification. The document argues that while some solutions may not provide immediate results, together these measures could sustainably develop cities through better planning and resource management over the long run.

This document summarizes the results of a study conducted on Amsterdam's potential to transition to a circular economy. The study identifies two value chains - construction and organic waste processing - that could be optimized to increase circularity. For construction, implementing strategies like smart design, dismantling/separation, and material reuse/recycling could generate €85 million annually, reduce CO2 by 500,000 tonnes, and create 700 jobs. For organic waste, developing a central processing hub and improving waste logistics/nutrient recovery may yield €150 million annually, cut CO2 by 600,000 tonnes, and create 1,200 jobs over 5-7 years. The report outlines roadmaps and actions the city can take to realize these
This is a presentation I have given for a group of students, which are joining for a study trip to Copenhagen and Malmo.

AI 101: An Introduction to the Basics and Impact of Artificial IntelligenceIndexBug
Imagine a world where machines not only perform tasks but also learn, adapt, and make decisions. This is the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a technology that's not just enhancing our lives but revolutionizing entire industries.
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
Partecipate alla presentazione per immergervi in una storia di interoperabilità, standard e formati aperti, per poi discutere del ruolo importante che i contributori hanno in una comunità open source sostenibile.
BIO: Sostenitrice del software libero e dei formati standard e aperti. È stata un membro attivo dei progetti Fedora e openSUSE e ha co-fondato l'Associazione LibreItalia dove è stata coinvolta in diversi eventi, migrazioni e formazione relativi a LibreOffice. In precedenza ha lavorato a migrazioni e corsi di formazione su LibreOffice per diverse amministrazioni pubbliche e privati. Da gennaio 2020 lavora in SUSE come Software Release Engineer per Uyuni e SUSE Manager e quando non segue la sua passione per i computer e per Geeko coltiva la sua curiosità per l'astronomia (da cui deriva il suo nickname deneb_alpha).
