This document provides a thesis proposal for integrating Philadelphia's urban agriculture initiatives. It begins with an overview of the evolution of the global food system and opportunities for local food movements. The proposal aims to address the lack of collaboration among food-focused organizations in Philadelphia through stakeholder engagement and design tools. Key players include non-profits, for-profits, and municipal departments. The design process will test Malcolm Gladwell's "tipping point" framework to create a social epidemic of urban agriculture. Methods include stakeholder interviews, forums, and participatory design to develop an integrative plan. The goal is a cohesive framework for collaborative progress among all stakeholders.
This document outlines Ezio Manzini's lecture on design in the age of networks and sustainability given in Milano on May 20, 2010. The lecture discusses how individuals and communities are inventing new ways of living more sustainably through local food networks, public spaces, social services, and digital platforms. It argues that social innovation driven by these grassroots solutions is an important driver of sustainable change. The lecture proposes that designers should take a systemic and strategic approach to co-designing tools and enabling frameworks that can replicate and scale up promising local social innovations.
This document summarizes Ezio Manzini's lecture on design in the age of networks and sustainability. The lecture discusses how social and environmental crises create opportunities for new sustainable economies based on green, social, and networked models. It provides examples of social innovation in areas like food, public services, and digital platforms. Manzini argues that designers can help drive sustainable change by taking a systemic approach to design for social innovation. He outlines four activities for designers: using co-design tools to facilitate participation; designing solutions to scale local initiatives; coordinating projects to direct local innovations; and building networks to promote social innovation.
The document proposes creating a centralized online calendar to list green events happening in New York City. It includes feedback from green organizations and public users supporting the idea. The calendar would help promote information sharing between groups and be a resource for the public and events organizers. It would fill a need for a comprehensive listing of green events so people can easily choose which to attend.
1) The document provides a summary of a class on sustainable design and the role of NGOs and activists in bringing about positive environmental change.
2) It discusses the history of the US environmental movement from Thoreau to Rachel Carson's Silent Spring to the establishment of the EPA.
3) It also covers concepts like deep ecology, inverted quarantine, leverage points, and how consumption and political action became separated in industrial societies.
4) The class discusses ways NGOs have used campaigns to change business practices and encourages students to research the environmental impacts of specific products.
This document presents a case study evaluating the impacts of integrating small-scale greenspace into an urban alleyway in Downtown Los Angeles called Harlem Place. The authors developed conceptual models for five ecosystem services and created six design scenarios for Harlem Place to illustrate how interstitial greenspace could impact those services. Their results found that permeable pavement and bioswales had the greatest impact on mitigating stormwater issues, while tree planting most improved air quality and microclimate locally. The conceptual models and case study aim to help communities understand how to design small-scale greenspace projects that provide local benefits while also addressing regional environmental issues.
This document introduces a framework called "Weadership" to guide workforce leaders in responding to significant changes happening in the modern world. Hyperconnectivity, new media technologies, and novel ways of organizing are disrupting traditional institutions. Weadership involves adopting a wide-angle view, building diverse networks, embracing openness, encouraging experimentation, adding unique value, and cultivating the next generation of leaders. This guide provides resources to help workforce leaders navigate complex problems through Weadership practices.
The document discusses specialization and its effects on society. It notes that specialization has led to feelings of isolation, confusion, and individuals leaving responsibility for thinking and social action to others. Specialization has also resulted in biases that aggregate and lead to conflicts between groups. The document advocates for more comprehensive understanding between specialized groups and individuals.
October 2009 marks the first anniversary for the Sustainability Committee of the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council. This document outlines some of our work in our first year.

Question everything - Designing more effectively for social impactRichard Anderson
Standard human-centered design practices are often well-suited for well-structured problems, but fall short for considering the broader social implications of solutions to well-structured problems and for attempting to address ill-structured or so-called “wicked societal problems” (e.g., our broken healthcare system, homelessness, addiction to social media or electronic devices).
Richard will review many of the common characteristics of well-structured, ill-structured, and wicked problems, and, with the workshop attendees, will discuss their implications.
Then, by questioning everything about the standard design process for well-structured problems, Richard will identify common process shortcomings, present examples of projects that ignored such shortcomings as well as of projects that didn’t, and provide attendees with the opportunity to experience ways of how to address such shortcomings.
Attendees will emerge better able to target social impact intentionally and better able to design for achieving that intentional social impact.
This paper examines the institutional and political constraints that
inhibit multilateral and bilateral donor agencies supporting poverty reduction
initiatives on the ground. These include the constraints related to their own structures
and the political systems in which they are embedded, and those related to
their relationships with recipient governments. The paper also considers how
current trends in development assistance towards greater donor harmonization
and the associated processes within Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs), the
shift from project support to budget support, and the drive for greater “efficiency”
may further limit donors’ capacity to support pro-poor local initiatives. It also
discusses how these trends in development assistance are marginalizing support
for those aspects of development that require relatively little external funding but
also require that this funding be used carefully and strategically, engaging directly
with poor groups and their organizations, and enlarging their scope for influence
and action.
The document discusses the approach taken by OUTREACH to mainstream rural women through community organization and institution building. OUTREACH forms self-help groups (SHGs) and cluster-level associations (CLAs) to build a participatory base. It finds that initially women take loans primarily for basic consumption, but over time loans are increasingly used for agricultural production and income generation activities. OUTREACH supports communities through three stages - an initial retrieval stage focused on food security, a consolidation stage investing in land-based activities, and a development stage of non-land enterprises and businesses. The goal is to empower communities and reduce their dependence on external agencies over time.

This document summarizes a conversation on social innovation in building a network society. It discusses the need for new social structures like maverick networks to foster innovation. It also addresses the importance of more effective communication through public consultation and agile policymaking. Failure is seen as necessary for learning and social progress. Small startups like experience platforms and charities can drive social innovation. New forms of storytelling and collaboration hubs are needed to share new ideas and opportunities. The big ideas are new networks, new consultation processes, and new platforms to collaboratively build a network society.
The document discusses the importance of quality metrics in green construction companies. It analyzes the differences between traditional and sustainable building practices. Conrad Construction Industries recognizes the industry trend toward sustainable building and wants to implement quality metrics to measure its green building practices. Literature is reviewed on the growth of the green building market and lean project delivery methods that can reduce costs for green buildings. The need for an integrated system like LEED to help architects and builders design sustainable buildings is also discussed.

The Changing Resource Development Paradigm: Maximizing Sustainable Local Be...Wayne Dunn
This report, which was commissioned by the Government of British Columbia, looks at global forces and issues that are changing the relationship between resource developers and local communities, including Indigenous Peoples. The report examines emerging trends and evolving global experiences and suggests ways that British Columbia can facilitate and enable communities to benefit more effectively from local resource development.
The document discusses a presentation on green local procurement policy as a sustainable economic driver. It summarizes the presentation in four parts: an introduction to the green economy, defining differences in green economic opportunities, green economy policies from a national perspective, and moving towards a green economy action plan with a focus on procurement. The presentation argues that green procurement policies can help drive the green economy at the local level and achieve environmental and economic goals.
Cities are fonts of ideas, opportunity, art and political movements. But urban enclaves can also generate inequality, epidemics and pollution. The rapid pace of urbanization in the coming decades brings these and other unprecedented opportunities and challenges to the fore. Will cities lose their vibrant potential if the challenges they face spiral out of control?

Urban Hub17: Integral Program Design - Thriveable CitiesPaul van Schaık
This document provides an overview and introduction to resources from Integral UrbanHub on using integral theory and frameworks to design thriveable cities. It summarizes perspectives from experts on the importance of developing urban centers and discusses concepts like integral methodological pluralism and integral program design. The document advertises additional books and guides available on integralurbanhub.org that apply integral theory to understand challenges cities face and how to address them through collaboration across sectors and worldviews.
This document is a portfolio from Megan Braley that includes contact information and describes four design and research projects related to climate change and its impacts on the American Southwest. The portfolio contains educational posters from a series created by Gray is Green: The National Senior Conservation Corps on topics such as changes to desert ecosystems and rising temperatures in the Southwest region.
This document summarizes the research and findings of the growlots studio project. It identifies key needs such as building community, improving nutrition, and beautifying neighborhoods in Kensington, Philadelphia. The studio proposes addressing these needs through the establishment of Green Centers - community hubs located on vacant lots that would provide tools, skills training, volunteer coordination and other services to support urban agriculture. Green Centers could help connect local residents with job and education opportunities in agriculture and better utilize Philadelphia's many vacant lots. The document outlines how Green Centers might function and identifies next steps such as securing funding, locations and partnerships to establish more of these hubs across the city.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
We had been brainstorming for hours about global issues and culture when we started writing down everything we could think of, which led to discovering connections between food, kitchens, culture, and larger systems. The kitchen became the central part of an ecosystem with resources cycling in and out, and our goal was to make it a healthier system.

We had been brainstorming for hours about global issues and culture when we started writing down everything we could think of, which led to discovering connections between food, kitchens, culture, and larger systems. The kitchen became the center of this web as we realized it was impacted by and impacted our consumer mentality and waste crisis, rather than being the problem itself. Our challenge was to make the kitchen a healthier ecosystem with cycling resources.
1. Further research is needed to develop an integrative model that brings together the different stakeholders involved in urban agriculture.
2. A comprehensive plan is required to streamline departments, clarify land use processes, and ensure all parties are working towards shared goals.
3. Our thesis will focus on how to establish the necessary collaboration and system to support urban farming initiatives in the city.
This document summarizes research conducted by students at the University of the Arts on developing urban farming in Philadelphia. It describes interviews conducted with community members and leaders of existing gardens who identified needs such as building community, improving access to healthy foods, and beautifying neighborhoods. The students determined that "Green Centers" could address these needs by providing tools, skills training, composting services, and selling produce locally. The document outlines how Green Centers could function and proposes starting them by securing funding, partners and appropriate locations.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
We had been brainstorming for hours about global issues and culture when we started writing down everything we could think of, which led to discovering connections between food, kitchens, culture, and larger systems. The kitchen became the center of this web as we realized it was impacted by and impacted our consumer mentality and waste crisis, rather than being the problem itself. Our challenge was to make the kitchen a healthier ecosystem with cycling resources.
The document discusses the author's realization of the importance of addressing global warming and sustainability after a geology professor mentioned it in class. This prompted the author to question why their design education had not covered these issues. The author was determined to learn more about why human behavior favors short-term gains over long-term impacts and how design can help encourage sustainable behaviors. Their search for answers led them to a graduate program in industrial design where they further explored how to design systems that facilitate incremental change through short-term actions supporting long-term goals.
This project will explore how the University of the Arts can help make community gardens more meaningful and minimize duplicated efforts between gardens in Philadelphia. It will look at opportunities for design interventions to address problems like a lack of investment, awareness, and funding of gardens, as well as limited volunteer support and education. The goal is to connect separate cultures and neighborhoods through sustainable living and education by designing strategies to address the underlying problems in the next five weeks.
The document discusses how to get urban agriculture in Philadelphia to a tipping point where it transforms into a social epidemic. It proposes establishing farming centers as hubs for organizing food production, jobs, education, and building community on 3-4 adjacent vacant lots. Farming centers would function by managing assets, skills, knowledge, volunteers, and communication to supply the community. The centers could be staffed by farm/garden supervisors, information specialists, coordinators, and retail managers. Starting more centers could create social capital through education, opportunities, communication, beautification, and jobs. An income statement projects revenue and expenses for the first start-up year.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

2. The Story of Our Food System
When you look back through time,
the story of food is one of agricultural
development, moving from family-owned
farms through the industrial revolution
Family Industrialized Global toward a global food system.
Farms Food System Food
In recent history problems with the
global food system have become
more apparent and many local food
movements have developed.
3. Opportunities
Philadelphia is attempting to follow
this movement, and is working toward
utilizing urban agriculture as a means
of development for blighted land
throughout the city.
However, the movement is having
trouble tipping. Our thesis will address
the needed collaboration between the
different stakeholders involved.
4. Thesis Statement
The current interactions among food-focused
organizations in Philadelphia indicate a need
for integrative development, and will serve
as a case study for constructing a cohesive
plan informed by design tools that reference
Malcolm Gladwell’s framework for creating a
tipping point.

10. Design Process Our first step was to consider how we as designers
can contribute to the progress of urban agriculture
in the city. We were very influenced by Malcolm
Gladwell’s “The Tipping Point,” so we are looking
at this thesis as a way to test a combination of
Gladwell’s laws for creating a tipping point and our
design process on a systems’ issue.

11. The Tipping Point
as defined by Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tipping Point"
the dramatic moment when ideas, messages,
behaviors, and products suddenly become so
popular that they transform into social epidemics.
12. The social epidemic we are trying
to create is urban agriculture in
Philadelphia. To accompish this,
we must break down the barriers
to create collaborative progress.
The following slides will explain how social epidemics can
evolve through the execution of three laws: the Law of the
Few, the Power of Context, and the Stickiness Factor.
13. Laws of Tipping
1. Law of the Few
spread by a few extraordinary people
The Law of the Few explains that social
epidemics are spread by a very few
extraordinary people. Our attempts to
induce this first law is through interviews
and collaborative forums with experts
connected to urban agriculture in
Philadelphia.

circumstances of the specific time
and place
The green movement has been around
for more than a decade. Many successful
models exist, and Philadelphia can look
to them for suggestions.
15. Non-For Profits
Philadelphia to the best of
its ability has chimed into
this movement through the
creation of a large number of
non-for-profits connected to
greening and urban agriculture.
16. For-Profits
There are a few key players when it comes to urban
farms and farmers’ markets such as: Greensgrow
Farm, Weavers Way Cooperative, and Fair Food Farm

19. Present Narrative
The present narrative is that each
of the players within a group is
either collaborating on a small
scale or is in competition with one
another. Disconnections exist and
result in miscommunication or no

20. The process of participatory
design is our most important
design tool.
Participatory design enables the stakeholders to
contribute to the final design, which allows them
to gain emotional investment. This ensures that
the future system is irresistible to the stakeholders
involved because they helped construct it.

Projected Outcome:
A cohesive framework demonstrating how all
of the stakeholders involved in this movement
can work collaboratively to re-write the narrative
of Philadelphia’s urban agriculture movement.
