Urban areas in both less economically developed and more economically developed countries are changing in different ways due to factors like population growth and increased car ownership. Problems in towns that have led to solutions like urban decay, with derelict land and buildings, and traffic congestion from poor infrastructure. Urban renewal aims to regenerate urban areas through gentrification, improving appearances and culture, changing populations, reducing crime, and influencing perceptions through media. Suburbanization, decentralization, and urban sprawl affect regeneration, as do concepts like urban consolidation, counterurbanization, new towns, and preventing urban blight and spatial exclusion.

Urban Sprawl In America
Urban sprawl occurs when cities expand outward into rural areas, consuming land. This document summarizes some key causes and impacts of urban sprawl in the United States. Population growth is a major driver, as people seek more affordable housing and space in the suburbs. However, urban sprawl leads to increased pollution, traffic, and loss of agricultural land. It also strains infrastructure and finances as governments must expand services further out. The document recommends controlling population growth and changing attitudes about development to limit unsustainable urban sprawl.
Hlth497 urban sprawl
Urban sprawl refers to the rapid outward expansion of metropolitan areas into low-density rural lands, characterized by single-use zoning, reliance on automobiles, and homogenous design. It was facilitated by the rise of automobiles and subsidized housing in the 1940s. Environmental issues caused by sprawl include increased emissions, air and water pollution, and lack of physical activity has led to health problems like obesity and diabetes. While sprawl provides benefits like affordable housing, it has negative economic, environmental and social impacts on communities.

SESQUI is a touring immersive media festival celebrating 150 years of Canada. Through 360 cinema, interactive installation and Virtual Reality, SESQUI invites audiences to celebrate Canadian creativity and imagine ourselves in a new way. The project presents many novel challenges for the production team. Our presentation will outline the process of designing content that emphasizes technology that serves as an engine of human connection, rather than alienation, and allows for a “permeable frame” between different media and real and imagined spaces. These challenges will be discussed in the context of a government-supported celebration that aims to be relevant and accessible to all Canadians. Is it possible to find an analogue for Canada through immersive technology?
Objective
We aim to present SESQUI as a case study of how government projects present both a unique opportunity to foster innovation across industries, and the challenges of creating innovative media for an audience that ranges widely in their familiarity with new forms.
Target Audience
Everyone interested in creative expression, innovation and being an active participant within an immersive social sculpture contributing to a communal experience.
Five Things Audience Members Will Learn
Learn about how the Canadian government is harnessing immersive technology for its Sesquicentennial celebrations in 2017.
Techniques and challenges related to 360 dome filmmaking and exhibition, Virtual Reality, immersive web development, data visualization and digital marketing, and the holistic connection of these elements.

The document discusses how cities are being "remediated" through information and communication technologies (ICTs). It describes how ICTs were initially viewed as replacing cities, but are now seen as co-evolving with and animating urban places in complex ways. ICTs have become deeply embedded in everyday urban life and are remediating mobilities, consumption, social exclusion, landscapes, bodies, and public realms. The document calls for a new paradigm that views cities as continually brought into being through the remediation of ICTs operating at various scales, and addresses the challenges of shaping ICTs and urban spaces in parallel.

S.Cuers Qld Planner 2006
Planners play an important role in building socially sustainable communities through urban consolidation. Urban consolidation allows for more compact, higher-density development near transport and services, with claimed benefits like reduced environmental impact, improved access to opportunities, and more affordable housing. However, critics argue that it can reduce social capital and community cohesion. The social sustainability of urban consolidation depends on embracing change and integrating new and existing communities through quality design, infrastructure, and community participation in the planning process.

The City as a (Informal) Virtual Community
Piotr Siuda gave a presentation on cities as informal virtual communities. He discussed how the internet blurs boundaries between public and private urban spaces. Various online platforms like official city websites, local businesses, social media, and review sites comprise the virtual urban community. These spaces strengthen local identity and connect physical and subjective experiences of a city. Siuda used the example of Dodgeball, a location-based social app, to show how technology can transform public spaces into more familiar, parochial areas. He advocated for smart cities models that engage citizens through dialogue and creativity rather than being driven solely by technology companies.

Into the wild: research 'impact' and the curious world of public policy
This document summarizes research on the high street and efforts to impact public policy. It discusses 3 case studies: 1) how knowledge about skills for sustainable communities was ignored by governments, 2) how the "big society" narrative undermined community development knowledge, and 3) how research on food banks and welfare reform is consistently ignored. It reflects on challenges of impact including losing control of the research narrative, policy preferences determining research agendas, differing definitions of impact between researchers and policymakers, and impact being more about self-presentation than influence. It proposes an agenda for impact that sees impact as provisional, challenges canonical knowledge, is inclusive of participant views, and disturbs rather than just reinforces the status quo.
Alexander Junus Presentation
The document discusses three topics related to urban computing: 1) "Painting the City with Light" describes a project that installed light-emitting pixels on buildings to transform architectures into interactive displays through light projections; 2) "Designing for Wonderment" presents two art projects that allowed public participation and interaction; 3) "Social Web Application in the City" briefly mentions social web applications in cities but provides no details.

The document discusses traffic in a city from a community message board post. It states that a few years ago it took 10 minutes to get downtown but now during rush hour it takes over 30 minutes due to increased traffic. The post suggests there should be improvements to address the worsening traffic situation.
Reading PA
The document summarizes CityCraft's initial assessment and analysis work for the city of Reading, Pennsylvania to develop a long-term revitalization strategy. CityCraft conducted sessions with representatives from various sectors to identify the network needed to implement the strategy. For many years, Reading struggled economically and socially, with high poverty rates. Recent revitalization attempts proved unsuccessful. The mayor outlined a vision and goals to address issues like education, jobs, and investment. CityCraft provided recommendations to support revitalizing the downtown area and facilitating cross-sector discussions around financing long-term local development.
Ledc Urban Structure
This document describes a land use model for a city in a Less Economically Developed Country (LEDC). It outlines different zones including a Central Business District (CBD) with offices and shops, a Zone of Maturity with older colonial homes and embassies, an Elite Residential Sector with modern high-rise apartments, and various types of shanty settlements including both established and newly constructed informal housing settlements often located in hazardous areas prone to flooding or landslides. A main transportation Spine connects the CBD to the city edge and beyond. Areas of Disamenity contain unwanted industrial or hazardous land.

Understanding and predicting urban dynamics through new forms of geo-social d...
The recent emergence of new forms of geo-social data, deriving from social media, sensors, and mobile phones, calls for an update to the methodological toolbox of social sciences. The new methods and tools need to harmonise with the inherent characteristics and challenges of the emerging data sources. This talk demonstrates how SocialGlass, a web-based system for (real-time) urban analytics, helps improve the understanding of human dynamics in modern-day cities, by capitalising on new geo-social data and pioneering data science techniques. Emphasis is on real-world applications, regarding social area analysis, crowd dynamics during large-scale events, and location prediction of new urban functions across different cities.

The document summarizes research on representing spatio-temporal data from multiple sources in urban mobility analysis. It proposes a framework with concepts like observations, places, stays, and trajectories to integrate GPS, Wi-Fi, and GSM data. The concepts are validated by mapping real-world smartphone data to observations and places. Future work includes handling larger datasets, improving the place learning algorithm, and extending the analysis to groups.
III. Urban stress
Urban areas experience unique microclimates caused by human activities and infrastructure. The document discusses four main types of urban stress: poor housing, congestion, environmental problems, and social issues. It provides examples of each from around the world, such as slums in Manila, rush hour traffic in Los Angeles, pollution in Beijing, and crime in Caracas. Tall buildings in cities disrupt wind patterns, create heat islands with higher temperatures, and change rainfall and humidity compared to rural areas.
Footloose Industry
This document discusses footloose industries and factors that attract them to locate along the M4 motorway corridor in the UK. Footloose industries have sophisticated, high-value, low-weight products and can choose their location freely. The M4 corridor is attractive due to its transport links by road and rail, proximity to London and its large market as well as Heathrow Airport, availability of skilled labor from universities, and attractive living environment. Specific industries such as biotechnology, computing, and research centers have located along the corridor, with one example being the Aztec West Business Park near Bristol which provides amenities and access to markets, suppliers, and talent.

Greenhouse
Climates have changed constantly throughout history due to various natural factors such as variations in solar energy, astronomical relationships between the Earth and sun, ocean circulation changes, volcanic eruptions, and shifts in atmospheric composition. Scientists have found extensive evidence of past climate shifts in geological rock and fossil records, tree ring data, historical documents showing elephants in the Sahara and grape vines growing in northern England, and indicators like glacial advances and retreats. While climate is naturally variable, the current changes are accelerated by human emissions altering the carbon cycle.
3, results of the gulf war
The Gulf War resulted in a successful military operation that removed Iraqi forces from Kuwait and restored the Al-Sabah family to power. However, it did little to bring stability to the Middle East. While allied casualties were low, Iraqi casualties were estimated to be between 20,000-200,000 deaths. Iraq's infrastructure and environment suffered extensive damage. The war strengthened US influence in the region but also increased anti-American sentiment in some Muslim communities. It failed to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.
1, the soviet union and brezhnev
The document discusses the rule of Leonid Brezhnev as leader of the Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982. Some key characteristics of Brezhnev's rule included consolidating power through cult of personality tactics while presenting a more cautious leadership style than his predecessor, Nikita Khrushchev. The Soviet economy stagnated under Brezhnev's policies of maintaining a command economy and central control over industries and agriculture, which led to inefficiencies. Production of consumer goods increased but could not keep up with demand.
5, gorbachev aims
Gorbachev rose to power in 1985 as General Secretary with aims to reform the stagnating Soviet system through policies of perestroika (reconstruction), glasnost (openness), and uskorenie (acceleration). His first major challenge was responding to the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in April 1986, which occurred just one year after he took power and represented the failing Soviet infrastructure he sought to address.
3, afghanistan begining of conflict
The document examines the factors leading up to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. It provides background on Afghanistan's relationship with the Soviet Union and discusses the coup in 1978 that killed the Afghan president. It then outlines the power struggle between factions of the ruling communist party, growing unrest over reforms, and the requests from the Afghan government for Soviet assistance. By late 1979, the Soviet Politburo decided to send troops to restore order and replace the Afghan leader, marking the beginning of the Soviet invasion and occupation of Afghanistan.
2, 1977 constitution & brezhnev’s foreign policy
The 1977 Soviet Constitution formalized the development of socialism and supremacy of the Communist Party. Brezhnev's foreign policy after 1976 saw the deterioration of détente and arms limitations with the US. The USSR expanded its influence in Africa and Asia, including supporting Ethiopia against Somalia, straining relations with the US and signaling the end of détente.
7, effects of gorbachev poland
The document summarizes the key factors that led to the fall of communism in Poland, including Poland's strong national identity and Catholic traditions, the election of Pope John Paul II, economic struggles that caused widespread strikes in the 1980s, the imposition of martial law in 1981, and Mikhail Gorbachev's policies of glasnost and perestroika in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s that weakened Soviet control over Eastern Europe and allowed free elections to take place in Poland in 1989, leading to the collapse of communist rule there.
Walk For Awareness
The document announces a 5km charity walk on June 23rd organized by the International American School in cooperation with Caritas USA. The walk aims to raise money and awareness for disabled children in the Caritas-run Providence Home in Uganda. The goal is to collect enough money to purchase 5 wheelchairs and 4 tricycles for immobile children at the home, at a total cost of 6,745.60 PLN. Students ages 7th to 12th grade are encouraged to sign up and participate by getting pledges from their social networks. Registration is 30zl per person by June 4th.
Somalia1
The document discusses key concepts related to human migration such as voluntary and involuntary migration, asylum seekers, economic migrants, and internally displaced persons. It asks the reader to watch videos about migration from Somalia and complete a task sheet, and for homework tasks the reader with producing a one page guide to the Somali conflict sourcing pictures from several websites.
Settlements Revision Ii
The document discusses the central business district (CBD) and issues related to urban planning. It notes that the CBD is often in the center of town and has the tallest buildings. It contains department stores, offices, transportation hubs, and government buildings. Traffic congestion is worst in the CBD due to high density. The document also discusses white flight and ethnic segregation in Bradford, UK. It led to the formation of neighborhoods with high concentrations of certain ethnic groups. The phenomenon of counter-urbanization is described as people moving from urban to suburban or rural areas to escape chaos and pollution in cities.

Leeds grew in the 18th century during the Industrial Revolution due to its textile trade, pasture land, soft water, and access to navigable rivers and nearby coal fields. The city center was initially home to trade, poor housing, and industry, but over time commerce and administration became more important and the middle class migrated to suburbs with cleaner air like Chapel Town. Poor workers lived near canals, rivers, and factories in areas like Kirkstall, Burley and Beeston. Suburban expansion led to urban decay in the inner city, reflected by derelict land, vacant lots, and graffiti, caused by a lack of demand for inner city land due to issues like traffic, poor quality buildings,
Acid Rain
Acid rain is formed from both dry and wet deposition of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emitted from natural sources like volcanoes and human sources like fossil fuel burning, which can travel long distances in clouds. It has negative effects like killing trees by damaging foliage and roots, potentially further impacting the environment, and eroding stone buildings and structures. Many countries in Europe are affected, as shown on a map, with acid rain being a global problem. Controlling acid rain requires limiting the human emissions that contribute to its formation.
El Nino
The document discusses the climatic phenomena known as El Niño and La Niña, explaining that El Niño occurs every 3-4 years around Christmas and lasts 12-18 months, bringing warm waters and desert-like conditions to the Philippines and higher sea levels in Southeast Asia, while La Niña exaggerates normal ocean temperature patterns and increases upwelling off Peru.
Microclimates
This document discusses microclimates, specifically how urban areas, forests, and bodies of water can create microclimates that are distinct from the overall regional climate. Urban areas tend to be warmer due to heat absorption and retention by buildings and paved surfaces, creating urban heat islands. Forests and water surfaces absorb less solar radiation and have more moderated temperatures with higher humidity. The objectives are to understand how construction and natural features can lead to microclimates that differ from the broader climatic region.
London Culture And Life
London has a complex layout due to its growth from small villages and many narrow, pre-motor car roads. The 1666 Fire of London and 1945-1960 reconstruction after World War 2 bombing changed London's central landscape and housing. London is now a global economic and tourist center known for its arts, music, fashion and changing demographics.
Smog
Air pollution causes various human respiratory illnesses as well as plant and building damage. Cities like London, Mexico City, Tehran, Los Angeles, and Beijing have historically suffered from high smog levels. Possible solutions include catalytic converters, vapor recovery systems, renewable energy sources, and limiting access of polluting vehicles.
Climate Change
The document discusses climate change and provides evidence that climates have constantly changed over time. It explains that scientists have various sources of evidence for climatic changes, including rocks, fossil landscapes, tree ring data, historical records, and measurements of glacial advances and retreats. The document also lists some of the potential causes of climatic changes, such as variations in solar energy, astronomical relationships between Earth and the sun, ocean circulation changes, volcanic activity, and changes to the atmosphere's composition.
