The challenges of urbanization in the 19th century resulted from rapid growth of cities due to industrialization. Immigrants and farmers flocked to cities for more job opportunities but found overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions like tenement housing with poor plumbing and sanitation. As city populations boomed, urban problems increased such as inadequate transportation, water supply issues, mounting trash and disease. Reforms emerged like settlement houses to assist the urban poor with social services and address public health issues exacerbated by rapid urban 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.
This presentation is a follow-up to the presentation entitled "Migration". It is aimed at lower school students and is inadequate for students preparing for major examinations. It looks at what urbanization is and what causes it.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

2. Urban Opportunities Urbanization: growth of cities Resulted from the technological boom of 19th C. Most immigrants settled in cities because of lower living costs and more job opportunities Americanization Movement: designed to assimilate everyone into the dominant culture Programs provided to teach immigrants skills needed to become citizens (English Literacy, Gov’t) as well as cooking and social etiquette
3. Migration from Country to City New farming technology meant less laborers were needed Many farmers moved to the city for work The majority were African Americans looking for jobs and an escape from violence Found segregation and discrimination
4. Urban Problems Housing: Working class families lived in row-houses, immigrants moved into over crowed and unsanitary tenements NYC passed a law in 1879 that set standards for plumbing and ventilation in apartments Transportation: Mass transit was started (street cars and subways) and allowed workers to commute from outside the city Water: city residents had inadequate drinking water. Few homes had indoor plumbing
5. Urban Problems Cont. Sanitation: Horse manure piled in the streets, sewage ran in open gutters, factory smoke filled the air, and there was no reliable trash pick-up Crime: with increased populations, thieves and pickpockets flourished. Most law enforcement was too small to keep up Fire: Most city dwellings were made of wood, candles and kerosene heaters were being used, and there was a water shortage. Nations first paid fire department est. in Ohio 1853
6. Reforms Social Gospel Movement: preached salvation through service to the poor. Settlement Houses: community centers in slum neighborhoods that provided assistance to people in the area Provided educational, social, and cultural services Jane Addams founded Chicago’s Huss House with Ellen Gates Starr 1889
