Amplified Leicester and the Resilience Imperative - Andrea SaveriDr Sue Thomas
Andrea Saveri Keynote at the Amplified Leicester Showcase, 15 April 2010, Phoenix Square Digital Media Centre, Leicester, UK www.amplifiedleicester.com
This document summarizes a presentation on sustainability thinking as a new paradigm for philosophy, pedagogy, and learning theory. It discusses how current education systems were designed to produce compliant workers and promote convergent thinking, which contributes to unsustainability. In contrast, sustainability requires divergent thinking, contextualized learning in communities, and reconnecting education with environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Teaching students to think divergently about local issues affecting peace and sustainability in various contexts through democratic discourse and responsibility is key to preparing them for a sustainable future.
Presentation On Green Economy For Sustainable DevelopmentAsif A. Kabani
The document discusses transitioning to a green economy. It defines a green economy as one that improves human well-being and equity while reducing environmental risks. A green economy is low-carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive. It explores the relationship between sustainable development and poverty reduction. The document also discusses greenhouse gases, their sources, and their impact on climate change. It notes that human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation have increased the atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.
Green economy aims to increase investments and growth while substantially reducing carbon footprints. It promotes resource efficiency, clean technologies, and sustainable production and consumption patterns. A green economy is driven by investments that reduce emissions, enhance efficiency, and prevent biodiversity loss. It emphasizes the intersection between environment and economy.
The Private Sector and Sustainable Development: Friend or Foe? 21cConsultancy_2012
Dr. Julia Glidden discusses the relationship between the private sector and sustainable development. While sustainable development goals focus on people, private sector goals prioritize monetary profits. There is often a conflict between these aims. However, new technologies allowing data collection from citizens and a sharing economy model point to the potential for public-private partnerships to support sustainability through innovation if governments act as a platform and collaborate with citizens and businesses.
This document discusses social innovations and creative communities that propose new, more sustainable ways of living. It provides examples of initiatives around the world that address everyday life problems through collaboration and reciprocity. These include food purchasing groups, community centers, carpooling networks, and urban gardens. The document advocates designing solutions that improve the visibility of these communities and inspire collaborative services to facilitate access while maintaining their small, relational qualities. It poses questions about how to activate micro-projects and achieve macro-level transformation through identifying synergies between initiatives.

The document discusses the concept of smart cities and how data and technology can be used to create smarter, more efficient cities that improve life for citizens. It outlines how smart phones and citizen sensors are creating vast amounts of data that can be used by cities to gain insights and power applications. When combined with open data platforms, this data has the potential to drive innovation and new services that benefit both public and private sectors as well as citizens, with examples given around transportation, emergency response, and workspaces. The document concludes by advocating that cities develop innovation roadmaps to fully realize this potential by opening and linking data, engaging communities, and supporting new ideas and cross-border collaboration.
Synthetron Presentation - Do Intelligent Questions Create Intelligent Crowds?Crowdsourcing Week
This document discusses whether intelligent questions can create intelligent crowds. It argues that intelligent questions can create intelligent crowds if:
1. The right crowd is engaged - one that is experienced and can be reached, recruited, engaged and rewarded.
2. The right process is used - one that is decentralized, independent, allows open access to information and diversity of views. It should also limit reputation pressure and create a safe space for dialogue.
3. The right questions are asked - questions that are well-constructed, engage people around a common goal, have impact, and trigger critical thinking. The flow of questions should start with divergence and move to convergence.
It is argued that following these factors, intelligent questions
The document discusses turning "turtles" in the public sector into "gazelles" by supporting citizen-generated smart services through open innovation and new technologies.

OpenTransportNet: Stimulating Innovation with Open Geographic Information21cConsultancy_2012
1) The document discusses OpenTransportNet (OTN), a European project that aims to stimulate business innovation and enhance public services by improving access to open geographic information.
2) In its first year, OTN worked to create an INSPIRE-compliant data model for transport networks and expose aggregated and harmonized transport data through virtual service hubs.
3) OTN addresses challenges of disharmonized and scattered data by bringing together spatial, dynamic, and non-spatial data sources and using techniques like metadata catalogues, data visualization tools, and privacy controls.
This document discusses eParticipation and how governments can move from simple consultation to collaboration with citizens through technology. It notes that while the private sector has embraced innovation through "gazelles," the public sector tends to move more slowly like "turtles." The document outlines areas where eParticipation has worked, such as policing, empowering civil servants, and engaging civil society and citizens. It also discusses how the UK has led in these areas and considers whether governments are entering an era of eInnovation or eRevolution through greater collaboration with citizens.

This document discusses how open data can fuel innovation. It provides examples of how governments and businesses are using open data to segment markets, define new products and services, and improve operations. While open data is helping modernize many industries, the construction industry still lags behind in developing an open data ecosystem. The document argues that open data could help the construction industry create healthier buildings, streamline permitting processes, and design happier schools and communities if it embraces open data practices.
This document discusses how crowdsourcing and open data can enhance data collection, policymaking, and monitoring related to population aging. It provides examples of how Scotland has leveraged high-quality linked health data to analyze spending on institutional versus community-based care for those aged 65+, examine costs associated with dementia, and perform cohort-specific analysis. The document argues that governments are increasingly harnessing crowdsourced data and suggests crowdsourcing could also enhance data and policy regarding aging populations.

The document discusses turning "turtles" (public sector organizations) into "gazelles" (private sector startups and entrepreneurs) through eParticipation and collaboration between the sectors. It addresses challenges such as bridging the gap between the public and private sectors. The goal is to support entrepreneurs through open data, apps, and co-creation with the public sector. The document considers where eParticipation currently stands and where it may be going, and what this could mean for both traditional public sector organizations and new private sector startups.
Digital Makes the World Personal: A Roadmap for 21st Century Innovation21cConsultancy_2012
The document outlines a roadmap for governments to become innovation platforms by opening up data and engaging communities to build applications. It recommends that cities start by opening transportation data and creating template apps to demonstrate how open data can power innovation. Next, cities should integrate these apps into a full service and validate the city as an open platform. Finally, the roadmap suggests scaling the open platform model across Europe by establishing interconnected hubs of georeferenced open data and apps. The goal is to unleash limitless possibilities for personalizing government services through open data and community collaboration.
This document outlines a roadmap for 21st century innovation in government. It proposes that governments act as innovation platforms by opening up public data and creating template apps to catalyze new ideas from citizens. The roadmap involves three steps: 1) preparing governments by releasing open data and apps, 2) validating this approach through an integrated demonstration project, and 3) scaling the model across Europe through networked innovation hubs. The conclusion encourages governments to start their own roadmaps by using open data and community engagement to support innovation in important policy areas and on a cross-border level.

‘’In many places, laws do not allow you to insure a car that you rent to a neighbor, sell vegetables grown in your backyard, create a for-payment ridesharing service, or rent out a room in your home for short stays. The list goes on and on. So, the sharing movement must do something much more difficult than building anew to obsolete the old — it must hack the law to make sharing easy and legal.’’ http://www.shareable.net/blog/policies-for-a-shareable-city
