The New Urbanism: Design Principles for Vibrant Communities
Much of the development that has occurred in Wisconsin and around the nation over the past 60 years has created a feeling of sameness from community to community. Our development pattern has separated uses from one another and catered to cars at the expense of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. The New Urbanism promotes the creation and restoration of diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant mixed-use communities built with integrated housing, employment, shops, and schools. It is a revival of the lost art of "placemaking" to raise our quality of life and standard of living by creating neighborhoods, not just subdivisions, and building main streets, not just shopping malls.

A5 Form Based Codes
The document discusses the development of different form-based codes for two distinct areas in Simsbury, CT - the historic town center and a large corporate office park property. For the town center, a charrette was held to develop an illustrative plan and form-based code to guide higher density, high-quality development while preserving the historic character. For the corporate office park, a different approach was needed due to the setting and the property being an economic driver; this resulted in a code focused on place-driven job creation through a public-private partnership. Both codes required unique skillsets and processes to develop but achieved successful outcomes like increased development certainty and community acceptance.

What planners need to know
This document summarizes a potential pay for success program to address childhood asthma through healthy homes interventions in Springfield, MA. It outlines the basic pay for success model and how it could apply to reducing asthma triggers in the home. Unhealthy homes cause 40% of asthma episodes, so addressing root causes through environmental assessments, education, and repairs could significantly improve health outcomes. The evidence shows home-based multi-trigger interventions recommended by the Surgeon General and Task Force can reduce asthma hospitalizations and costs. Measurable savings in healthcare utilization could repay private investors if a targeted number of asthma episodes are averted.

一、工作未确定，回国需先给父母、亲戚朋友看下文凭的情况，办理一份就读学校的毕业证【微信：A575476】文凭即可
二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信：A575476】即可
三、进国企，银行，事业单位，考公务员等等，这些单位是必需要提供真实教育部认证的，办理教育部认证所需资料众多且烦琐，所有材料您都必须提供原件，我们凭借丰富的经验，快捷的绿色通道帮您快速整合材料，让您少走弯路。

EI Statistical Review of World Energy 2024

June 20 2024
Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.
Thanks for reading,
Amanda

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
