Startups will redesign our cities through innovations in mobility, infrastructure, and city services. While past predictions of the future often missed major technological changes like smartphones and the internet, startups are now positioned to address ongoing urban challenges through sectors that are among the least digitized like transportation, energy, and water. New companies are developing technologies like drones for inspections, smart sprinklers to reduce water use, electric transportation, indoor vertical farms, tools for architects and first responders, and low-cost water quality monitoring. However, this is still an early stage for urban tech startups, with many opportunities remaining across city systems as digitization accelerates.

The document describes a proposed mixed-use urban airport project in Be'er Sheva, Israel. The airport terminal aims to serve as a focal point that unites different aspects of the divided city through its integration with Be'er Sheva's upcoming urban planning changes and influence on the social, cultural, and economic realms. The terminal itself will function as an independent building and catalyst for the city's transformation over the next few years.
This document discusses several urban land use models from the mid-20th century, including Mann's concentric circles and sector model from the 1950s-1970s that was based on British cities like Sheffield. It also examines Mann's model limitations of not accounting for physical landscapes or multiple urban centers, and Robson's 1976 air pollution model. The document analyzes how earlier models do not anticipate modern reurbanization or regeneration of old industrial areas.

Cities future outlook and digital cities by Marco Moretti - A2A Smart City Pr...EIT Climate-KIC
The document summarizes A2A Group's role and initiatives in making cities smarter and more sustainable. It discusses A2A's focus on circular economy, decarbonization, innovation, and people. Key smart city projects highlighted include smart air quality monitoring, smart mobility like e-charging stations and smart parking, smart lighting using LEDs, smart building energy management, district heating networks, and an IoT-enabled smart green initiative. A2A aims to contribute to sustainability goals through 2030 by leveraging emerging technologies like IoT, big data and its enabling platform.
Ebenezer Howard's 1898 work contrasted rural and urban life, proposing "Garden Cities" that incorporated the best of both, such as Letchworth (1903) and Welwyn Garden City (1920). While well-intentioned, garden cities often functioned merely as dormitories for larger cities and did not fully achieve their egalitarian vision. Bid rent theory shows how much different sectors are willing to pay for land in various locations, with retail highest in the city center and residential uses on the outskirts. Variations of this model account for factors like transportation intersections and suburban centers.
Strategic Cities: Leveraging the Energy Economy for Park SystemsJonathon Geels
As the resource landscape shifts, many are asking whether an era of sustained high resource prices and increased economic, social, and environmental risk is likely to emerge. As significant asset managers in municipalities, the role of park systems in managing those resources is becoming increasingly important, especially on the front of energy.
Blair Sergeant discusses three of the greenest cities in the world, and what qualifies them for the title, in addition to their plans to continue upholding this honor.
The document discusses zoning and land use planning in St. Louis. It notes that while the total population declined slightly, the 20-29 and 50-64 age groups grew. The document outlines different land use areas like heavy industrial, established character that is maintained, and opportunities for new development in vacant or changing areas. It also mentions form based zoning standards and the Metro Link transit map.
This document summarizes Sudhir Gota's presentation at the Transforming Transportation 2014 conference on crunching numbers for low carbon transport in Asia. It discusses challenges with bottom-up modeling of transportation emissions in countries like India and the Philippines due to limited data availability. It highlights the large mismatches between bottom-up and top-down estimates of emissions and fuel use in India and the Philippines. The presentation emphasizes the importance of improving data collection for developing more accurate bottom-up models and achieving countries' emissions reduction targets.
The graph shows the world population from 1950 to 2050. It indicates that the world population was around 2.5 billion in 1950 and grew steadily to over 7 billion in 2010. Projections estimate that the world population will continue increasing to over 9 billion by 2050.
The document discusses the need to build a third runway at Hong Kong International Airport. It compares the two-runway and three-runway system options. The three-runway system would cost more ($136.2 billion vs $42.5 billion) but would have greater economic and passenger handling benefits and meet forecasted air traffic demand until 2030 or beyond. It also analyzes the options' economic contribution, employment opportunities, environmental concerns, and recommendations to reduce carbon emissions through carbon trading and offsets. Overall, the three-runway system is recommended for its ability to support long-term economic and social gains for Hong Kong through increased international connectivity.
Transport in urban areas is increasing issues with rising car ownership such as air pollution, congestion, accidents, and noise pollution. There are ways to make transport more sustainable such as congestion charges, park and ride schemes, car sharing, improved cycling infrastructure, restricting lanes to high-occupancy vehicles, and improving public transportation through bus lanes and restricted parking. Concept mapping can help explain how these factors interconnect and relate to reducing problems from increased private vehicle use.

Sustainable solutions include congestion charges, park and ride programs, car sharing, improved cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, restricted parking, and enhanced bus services. Concept mapping helps explain how factors like air pollution, congestion, noise pollution, and accidents relate to increasing car ownership and potential solutions can address these problems.
AS Geography - Urban morphology and modelDavid Drake
The document discusses several urban morphology models:
1) Burgess' concentric zone model which depicts a city growing outward from the central business district in concentric rings with different land uses and building types.
2) Hoyt's sector model where cities grow in wedge-shaped sectors driven by the location of industries.
3) A LEDC model where housing quality decreases with distance from the central business district unlike in MEDCs.
It also briefly covers bid rent theory which explains how land uses result from economic competition for accessible locations.
WWF's Earth Hour City Challenge encourages cities to create plans for reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to renewable energy. Over 80 cities from 6 countries have registered for the 2012-2013 pilot program. The challenge is designed to tap into the potential of urban areas to transform energy use through aggressive reduction goals, sustainable planning, and innovative financing.
Is there a mass market for Earth Observation imagery?Corentin Guillo
The document discusses whether there is a mass market for earth observation imagery. It notes that over 150 million square kilometers of land is imaged, but only 10% of the population has access to up-to-date imagery of where they live. Current providers offer high-cost, low-frequency imagery to a small number of customers. The company aims to make frequent, low-cost imagery available to the mass market by overcoming contractual, technical, and commercial barriers.
The document discusses urban land use and settlement patterns. It introduces the Burgess model, which describes the different zones in a typical city from the central business district (CBD) moving outward. The zones include the CBD, inner city, inner suburbs, outer suburbs, and rural-urban fringe. Land use and building types change across these zones, with denser development and taller buildings closer to the CBD and less dense, lower buildings further out. Population, economic activity, and land values also decrease with distance from the city center.

The document provides an analysis of Bertrand Russell's philosophy of education through summarizing his life, works, and key ideas. It discusses Russell's view that logic and mathematics are intertwined. It examines Russell's 1920 book "Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy" which aimed to explain the main ideas of Principia Mathematica in a less technical way. The book analyzed mathematical concepts like natural numbers, definitions, induction, order, relations, and transfinite numbers. Russell believed that education should cultivate rational and independent thinking skills through emphasizing science and de-emphasizing religion. His philosophy of education was focused on developing students' logical reasoning abilities.
The document summarizes the key aspects of Republic Act No. 9003, also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. It establishes the National Solid Waste Management Commission to oversee the implementation of solid waste management policies. Local government units are primarily responsible for waste management in their jurisdictions based on 10-year management plans. The law mandates waste segregation at the source and prohibits open dumping, providing penalties for non-compliance. It also creates incentives and a special fund to finance solid waste management programs.
