This document discusses the need to make communities more walkable and sustainable by focusing on active transportation like walking and biking. It notes that simply focusing on traffic issues is not enough and that communities must be designed at a human scale with compact, mixed-use neighborhoods and a connected street network to support alternative transportation options. The document advocates for traditional street patterns and land uses to reduce car dependency and encourage healthier, more livable places.
Environmental Benefits & Challenges of Urbanizationahippiechick
The document discusses the environmental challenges of urbanization, including air, water, and soil pollution caused by increased population density. It proposes solutions like public transportation, parks, affordable housing, community centers, and job creation to address problems of pollution, poor housing, poverty, unemployment, and overburdened public systems. The document emphasizes community involvement and long-term planning to successfully implement solutions.
This document discusses the benefits of livable, walkable cities. It notes that urbanization is increasing globally, with over 50% of people living in cities. Livable cities are compact, mixed-use, diverse, and provide access to healthcare, green spaces, and sustainable transportation like walking, biking, and public transit. Walkable cities improve health by reducing obesity and asthma, and increase social capital by facilitating accidental meetings between neighbors. They are also better for the environment due to lower household carbon emissions compared to car-dependent areas. The document encourages individuals to drive less, support local businesses, be conscious voters, care for neighbors, form walking/biking groups, and teach children to appreciate walkable communities.

This document discusses creativity and social innovations in community development. It argues that creativity and social innovations can generate business and jobs, increase attractiveness of local communities, and increase democracy and social inclusion. The concept of creative cities is based on the idea that creative industries and a general creative attribute in society are important for post-industrial economies. Examples of creative cities from around the world are discussed, as well as how the creative city approach could be applied in developing countries. The document then discusses examples of creative community development in Namibia and how innovation, including social innovation, can increase creativity and potential in communities through open innovation, user innovation, and community innovation.

Designing south africa’s creative economy finalShahid Solomon
This document discusses the importance of diverse experiences and having a broad perspective for creative design. It notes that creativity comes from connecting different experiences in new ways. However, many people lack diverse experiences and a broad view of problems, leading to more linear solutions. The document calls for maximizing not just the market share but also the "mind and emotions share" of the creative economy. It discusses how brands can build emotional connections and how objects are part of complex social interactions.

Presentation to the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) North America Conference in Winnipeg on the design assistance progress, it's adapted models, and how it applies to a variety of community settings.
This document summarizes a workshop on planning for social sustainability in new communities. It discusses how physical infrastructure alone is not enough to build thriving communities and that social factors like social relationships, shared beliefs and visible leadership are also important. It presents a social sustainability framework and examples of how social sustainability has been incorporated into developments through things like community development workers, sociologists helping early residents, community land trusts and adaptable shared spaces. The workshop explored what stakeholders like local government, housing associations and residents can do at different stages from planning to long-term stewardship to promote social sustainability in new places.
Current CSR developments in the mining sector in PeruAndres Recalde
The document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices in the mining industry in Peru. It provides perspectives from both mining companies and non-governmental organizations. Mining companies acknowledge that past CSR efforts were misguided but are now focusing on sustainable development, global competitiveness, and generating financial, social and environmental benefits. However, some NGOs argue that mining expansion has not led to significant human development for local communities. The document also outlines CSR sessions at a mining conference, including papers from various mining companies on their CSR strategies and community engagement efforts.
This presentation was developed for a guest lecture at QUT in April 2009 for a subject about cultural futures. It asks the question, 'how are we to live?' and considers urban innovation and creativity. However, it does not really attempt to answer that question.
Developed by communications designer Andy Cutler over a 2-year period, this model was developed to nurture substantive relationships between smaller cities throughout the world beginning with Copenhagen and Providence. Sharing resources/assets, supporting student engagement, promoting and progressing entrepreneurship and exporting mentoring models and expertise in sustainability (for example) is the basis for this new style of "sites city" relationships.
Design (and Design schools) for Social Innovation, By Ezio Manzini, DESIS Net...desis_uk
This document discusses emerging trends in design and the role of design schools in the age of networks and sustainability. It identifies four key design trends: 1) design for social experiments, 2) design with and for social innovation, 3) design as networked co-design processes, and 4) design that promotes coalitions. It suggests design schools can participate in these trends by promoting design initiatives in networks, co-designing coalitions, participating in social experiments, and developing a new design culture. The overall message is that design and design schools must adapt to focus on networked, collaborative approaches that support social and environmental sustainability.
