Integrated Urban Governance – the way forward

Cities are confronted nowadays with new challenges that are related to globalisation and socio-spatial segregation. Traditional, sectoral approaches to meet these and other challenges have often proved to be expensive and inefficient or even were a total failure. Therefore, new forms of governance have gained importance by involving civil society (NGOs, business, the 'people') in decision making and in implementing these decisions. This integrated urban governance approach requires changes in administrative action and settings, too. Integrated Urban Governance implies going beyond mere coordination between policies, and thus encompasses joint work among sectors and disciplines. The presentation – being based on the METROPOLIS manual on Integrated Urban Governance and on case studies and practices from all over the world – argues, that integrated urban governance requires action and approaches in the following fields:

  • public participation and citizen’s involvement
  • political and organisational arrangements beyond city      boundaries
  • political and organisational arrangements within city      boundaries
  • capacity building

Core instruments for enabling new approaches and policies are presented.

As part of the Smart+Connected Communities Institute Learning Series, we will offer a webinar at 11:30 a.m. EST March 30, 2011.

 

The webinar "Driving the Next Generation Learning Experience" will be presented by Vito Amato, Ph.D, Education Manager for Cisco Systems.

 

What does it take to successfully implement the next generation learning experience?  The next generation learning experience takes many shapes and forms, and most educational institutions employ one method or another. This webinar will provide trends, challenges, best practices, solutions and practical methodologies relevant to driving and implementing the next generation learning experience.  The next generation learning strategy focuses on the implementation of a solution that can enable highly interactive and collaborative teaching and learning experiences, while delivering any content, anytime, anywhere to any device.

Dr. Amato will present flexible and comprehensive approaches to harnessing the power of next generation learning solutions to enhance teaching and learning. The goal of this webinar is to present approaches to implementing the next generation learning experience, which will enable an understanding and confidence when evaluating, analyzing, designing, developing, and implementing next generation learning solutions.  In addition, this webinar aims to assist the community of practitioners and decision makers in education to better understand the components of the next generation learning experience along with the key areas of focus for deploying solutions that effectively meet the needs and requirements of the various stakeholders involved in the implementation process.

Mark Your Calendars for January 25 when Matt Laherty, Cisco Systems, will present "Laying the Foundation for an Effective Sustainability Program".


SAVE THE TIME AND DATE ON YOUR CALENDAR!  Get login and audio details below!

 

Sustainability programs don’t have to be complicated or expensive to save significant amounts of money.  By using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), professionals involved in sustainability planning, can proactively and positively impact their organization’s profitability.  In non-profit or government terms, proper use of IT can free up budget dollars for use in core organization objectives.

 

This session will provide professionals from Planning, IT, Facilities, Sustainability and Finance with insight into emerging energy trends, tools and implementation processes required to leverage ICT for energy savings—and we’ll discuss the way in which these groups must interact to achieve success.  During the presentation we will survey the future of ICT for energy conservation and provide meaningful actionable steps necessary to start a simple sustainability program.

 

Trends Insight (Where are we headed using ICT for energy conservation?)

  • What is sustainable—and how will you know when you reach it?
  • The role of ICT and buildings in the Smart Grid and Smart Loads


What’s required for a sustainability program?

  • Develop an energy vocabulary
  • Energy use (direct and indirect)
  • Thermal energy and embodied energy
  • Interval data
  • Demand vs energy charges

 

The Sustainability Plan

  • How to perform an energy assessment
  • Measure everything (the easy way)
  • Inform end users to institutionalize conservation
  • Adjust
  • Next steps using ICT from the dog house to the data center
