The Congress for the New Urbanism views disinvestment in centr.docxrtodd643
The Congress for the New Urbanism views disinvestment in central cities, the
spread of placeless sprawl, increasing separation by race and income, environmental
deterioration, loss of agricultural lands and wilderness, and the erosion of society’s
built heritage as one interrelated community-building challenge.
We stand for the restoration of existing urban centers and towns within coherent
metropolitan regions, the reconfiguration of sprawling suburbs into communities of
real neighborhoods and diverse districts, the conservation of natural environments,
and the preservation of our built legacy.
We advocate the restructuring of public policy and development practices to
support the following principles: neighborhoods should be diverse in use and
population; communities should be designed for the pedestrian and transit as well
as the car; cities and towns should be shaped by physically defined and universally
accessible public spaces and community institutions; urban places should be framed
by architecture and landscape design that celebrate local history, climate, ecology,
and building practice.
We recognize that physical solutions by themselves will not solve social and economic
problems, but neither can economic vitality, community stability, and environmental
health be sustained without a coherent and supportive physical framework.
We represent a broad-based citizenry, composed of public and private sector
leaders, community activists, and multidisciplinary professionals. We are committed
to reestablishing the relationship between the art of building and the making
of community, through citizen-based participatory planning and design.
We dedicate ourselves to reclaiming our homes, blocks, streets, parks, neighborhoods,
districts, towns, cities, regions, and environment.

1) Metropolitan regions are finite places with
geographic boundaries derived from topography,
watersheds, coastlines, farmlands, regional parks,
and river basins. The metropolis is made of
multiple centers that are cities, towns, and villages,
each with its own identifiable center and edges.
2) The metropolitan region is a fundamental
economic unit of the contemporary world.
Governmental cooperation, public policy, physical
planning, and economic strategies must reflect
this new reality.
3) The metropolis has a necessary and fragile
relationship to its agrarian hinterland and natural
landscapes. The relationship is environmental,
economic, and cultural. Farmland and nature are
as important to the metropolis as the garden is
to the house.
4) Development patterns should not blur or
eradicate the edges of the metropolis. Infill
development within existing urban areas
conserves environmental resources, economic
investment, and social fabric, while reclaiming
marginal and abandoned areas. Metropolitan
regions should develop strategies to encourage
such infill development over peripheral expans.
Central Business District or CBD is the focal point of a city. It is the commercial, office, retail, and cultural center of the city and usually is the center point for transportation networks.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Long Term Comprehensive Planning
2. Focus on Social & Physical
Infrastructure Besides Land use Planning.
Master Plan:-
• suitable locations for commercial, housing and
mixed-use development;
• locations where the city should increase
density, use redevelopment, or intervene in
other ways;
• opportunities to extend and/or improve open
space, recreational areas, and civic facilities;
• strategies from increasing economic
development;
• environmental, historic and cultural resources
that need conservation; and
• strategies for solving congestion and improving
transit services.
5. Town Planning
Concept & Theories
the rational-comprehensive
approach,
the incremental approach,
the transactive approach,
the communicative approach,
the advocacy approach,
the equity approach,
the radical approach
6. Hierarchy of Town
Planning
The theory was first developed by
the German geographer Walter
Christaller in 1933
Central place theory is a spatial
theory in urban geography that
attempts to explain the reasons
behind the distribution patterns, size,
and number of cities and towns
around the world.
7. Ebenezer Howard's
three magnets
The diagram summarises the
political, economic, and social
context underlying Howard’s utopian
vision for the future of British
settlement via three illustrated
magnets. One magnet lists the
advantages and disadvantages of
town life and another is
accompanied by the positives and
negatives of country life. The third
magnet communicates Howard’s
proposal of a Town-Country.
8. Garden Cities of
To-morrow
Ebenezer Howard ‘Garden Cities of
To-morrow’ in 1902.
Influenced the later strategy of
building new towns in the UK, US,
Canada, Argentina, Israel and
Germany.
As with most instances of social
engineering, the garden city
movement didn’t quite achieve what
it set out to do. Its laudable motives
and egalitarian vision contrast with
the often depressing artificiality of
‘garden cities’, and the fact that they
merely function as dormitories to the
larger cities they so often adjoin.
9. Garden City
A great deal of criticism has been
levelled at Howard’s plans as being
unrealistic in their adherence to
geometric proportion, but he
presented his design of concentric
circles of varying land use as a
universal rather than as a particular
mode.
First Garden City was Letchworth in
Hertfordshire .
10. Concentric Zone
Model
The concentric zone model, also
known as the Burgess model or
the CCD model, is one of the
earliest theoretical models to explain
urban social structures. It was
created by sociologist Ernest
Burgess in 1925.
11. The Linear City: (Don
Arturo Soria
Mata- 1882)
-A town for 30,000 people based
upon the principal transport route
which is 100 meter wide of infinite
length depending upon urban
growth.
-All services channeled along the
street
-Other community facilities group at
regular intervals
-Residential area is limited to 200
meter either side beyond which
would lie the Countryside.
12. Radburn Superblock
Characteristics-
a) Encourage pedestrian
accessibility
b) Low traffic volume in the
neighborhood
b) Open space linked the
residential areas
c) Houses built around cul-de-sac
which are connected to open
space
d) Houses are segregated for
main roads
e) Pedestrian paths and
walkways linked the houses to
primary school and local
centre
13. Radburn Superblock
• -Population Size: 25,000 Into 3
neighborhoods of around 8,000 each
-Pedestrian
-traffic segregation
By means of:-
- foot paths
-under passes
-bridges
-residential superblocks around a
backbone of parkland.
• The new Motor age:- Social Planning
• Mechanical means to be planned to
facilitate Human life & Civilization.
• Comprehensive planning
• Ample sites for community use
• Industries to be close to transportation
nodes
• Services to be well planned
• Private public partnership for
convenience of public – group of
building be planned.
14. Neighborhood Unit
Design
• The concept of the neighbourhood unit in 1900s by Clarence
Perry, is an early diagrammatic planning model for residential
development in metropolitan areas. It was attempting to design
functional, self-contained and desirable neighbourhoods in the
early 20th century in industrialising cities.
• 6 Principles of Neighborhood Design
a) Size of neighborhood unit related to the catchment area of a
primary school
b) No through traffic- residential area bounded on all sides by
arterial roads
c) ample parks and play areas
d) A neighborhood center containing school, local center and
other services
e) A hierarchy of roads/ streets (to promote road safety,
pedestrian safety, conserve residential environment)
f) District shops located on the periphery thus serving 4
neighborhood unit.
15. Core frame model
The Core frame model is a model
showing the urban structure of
the Central Business District of a
town or city. The model was first
suggested by Ronald R. Boyce and
Edgar M. Horwood in 1959.
The model includes an inner core
where land is expensive and used
intensively, resulting in vertical
development. This area is the focus
of the transport system and has a
concentrated daytime population.
The outer core and frame have
lower land values and are less
intensively developed.
16. Sector Model
The sector model, also known as
the Hoyt model, is a model of
urban land use proposed in 1932 by
economist Homer Hoyt. It is a
modification of the concentric zone
model of city development. The
benefits of the application of this
model include the fact it allows for
an outward progression of growth.
As with all simple models of such
complex phenomena its validity is
limited.
17. Multiple nuclei
model
The multiple nuclei model is an
economical model created
by Chauncy Harris and Edward
Ullman in the 1945 article "The
Nature of Cities"
