A future for regeneration (updated and expanded)Julian Dobson
This presentation brings together key points from the Real Regeneration series in New Start magazine and headlines from the regeneration manifesto we developed with practitioners and policy experts. An earlier version of this presentation was given at the fifth anniversary celebrations of Powell Dobson Urbanists in Cardiff. I've blogged about it here: http://livingwithrats.blogspot.com/2010/05/its-all-about-social-justice.html
Regeneration in a cold climate: from policy change to behaviour changeJulian Dobson
This presentation examines why we need to rethink the idea of regeneration, including the role of social housing and the nature of 'work' to create real value for people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. It looks at the idea of coproduction and argues for an 'urban acupuncture' approach with small, significant interventions.
A presentation conducted by Professor Nick Tyler CBE, Chadwick Professor, Civil Engineering, University College London, United Kingdom. Presented on Wednesday the 2nd of October 2013.
Brundtland famously said that sustainability is about meeting the needs of the present without compromising the
needs of future generations. This seems reasonable enough, but what will be the ‘future generations’ needs? The search for that outcome means a complete rethink of
how we think about the infrastructure that supports a city – including the social, as well as the ‘hard’, infrastructure that enables a city to survive. Unsurprisingly many countries and cities are thinking about this problem but the increase in future well being will need new thinking, new approaches and new substance.
In this edition of Y we begin by discussing with
Gehl Architects how cities have changed in the
last twenty years and where they are heading
now. Our chairman Mike Cook chats with world
renowned product designer Dick Powell on just
what makes a good designer and engineer and
how education plays its part in shaping these
people. We speak with Majora Carter,
an urban regeneration aficionado from
New York, about her work in the Bronx and
greening the ghetto. And we delve into the
shifting sands of higher education and take
a look at the current landscape that our urban
youth are navigating.
This set of slides is from the Active Cities Summit, organised by Sustrans and Nike, and was delivered by Claire Craig.
Claire Craig is the Director for the Government Office for Science.
This presentation explores the Foresight Future of Cities study and active living in cities for economic success.

For the Final of the European Student Parliament in Copenhagen in June 2014, I created a preparation kit. My working group of around 10 young students from all over Europe was asked to develop new ideas for future mobility in cities.
In my overview I touched several topics, such as understanding cities, relevance of mobility, current challenges and perspectives for the future.

State of the Map Asia (SotM-Asia) is the annual regional conference of OpenStreetMap (OSM) organized by OSM communities in Asia. First SotM-Asia was organized in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2015, and the second was organized in Manila, Philippines in 2016. This year’s conference, third in the series, was organized in Kathmandu, Nepal on September 23 – 24, 2017 at Park Village Resort, Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, Nepal.
We brought nearly 200 Open Mapping enthusiasts from Asia and beyond to this year’s SotM-Asia. The event provided an opportunity to share knowledge and experience among mappers; expand their network; and generate ideas to expand map coverage and effective use of OSM data in Asian continent. We chose ‘from creation to use of OSM data’ as the theme of this year’s conference, emphasizing on the effective use of OSM data. We also brought together a government panel from four different countries in this year’s SotM-Asia. We believe this event will deepen the bond and enhance collaboration among OSM communities across Asia.

In this presentation I present some thoughts on the definitions of "smart", "green" and "sustainable" cities; I establish links with the Sustainable Development Goals, the Climate Change talks in Paris and the Habitat III and I propose new areas that "smart cities" could focus in the context of these global processes.
The development of smart city leading to a progressive abandonment of rural areas towards greater cities and metropolis, which can offer many opportunities in terms of work, education, social life and so on. It can solve traffic congestion, school overcrowding, air pollution, loss of open space and skyrocketing public facilities cost.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.
