Picture a city that beats brutal heat waves with cool tree-lined streets, slashes household energy bills, and cuts carbon pollution by as much as 80%, without waiting for these miracle technologies. That future-positive vision is already taking shape in fast-growing places like Ahmedabad, India, where community-designed cooling plans and demand-side innovations are proving that climate action can double as a public health and equity upgrade.It's co-benefits. You've heard it a thousand times. We're gonna talk about them more today. What can you do to help your city deliver cleaner air, lower costs, and a safer climate? My guest today is Dr. Minal Pathak, associate professor at Ahmedabad University and a former senior scientist with the IPCC who helped craft the landmark sixth assessment report. We will explore how people-centered, data-smart solutions can transform just about any city into a climate-resilient wellbeing powerhouse and how you can start pushing your neighborhood, your spheres of influence, down that path today.-----------Have feedback or questions?

In this episode of the Urban Exchange Podcast, hosts Lauren Sorkin and Paul Wilson explore extreme heat in cities worldwide. Joined by Dr. Dileep Mavalankar, former Director of the Indian Institute of Public Health, and Nick Jones, Program Lead, Extreme Heat Resilience, at GDFRR and World Bank's City Resilience Program, they unpack a story of urban resilience that began in Ahmedabad and is transforming heat management globally. When temperatures in Ahmedabad reached 47 degrees Celsius in 2010, causing 800 excess deaths in a week, local leaders developed a response. Dr. Mavalankar shares how they created India's first heat action plan, its role in reducing heat-related mortality, and how it inspired over 250 cities across India to follow. Nick Jones from the World Bank reveals the economic and human impacts of urban heat, showing how rising temperatures threaten labor productivity and community health. The podcast also explores strategies like early warning systems, interventions for vulnerable populations, and the role of Chief Heat Officers. Tune in to learn about practical solutions – from cooling technologies to community preparedness. The conversation goes beyond statistics, offering a human approach to a critical challenge. Whether you're an urban planner, policymaker, or concerned about climate change, this episode provides insights into how cities can protect residents from extreme heat. Find out more about the World Bank and GDFRR's City Resilience Program here.

Cities around the world are on the frontlines of climate disaster. In Lisbon, Portugal, unprecedented flooding has required the construction of significant climate resilience projects like the city's drainage master plan. In the global south, cities like Ahmedabad, India are getting hotter and hotter…and the women who live in this region are disproportionately impacted physically and financially by heat wave events. But as we can see through the shining examples of both these urban centres, by combining mitigation and adaptation actions - like innovative parametric heat insurance projects, and equitable public transportation initiatives - with community informed policies, we can build resilient cities that will be able to withstand the increasing impacts of climate change.Featured guests:Carlos Moedas, Mayor of LisbonKathy Baughman McLeod , CEO, Climate Resilience for All Links: 10 of the Oldest Continuously Inhabited Cities in the World - How Stuff WorksHorizon Europe - European CommissionEuropean Research CouncilThe US brain drain has begun - PoliticoLisbon approved free public transport for young and elderly residents - Mayors of EuropeLisbon Mayor Wants Companies to Help Fix City's Housing Shortage - BloombergLisbon Drainage Master PlanLisbon aims to be carbon neutral by 2030 with EU support - LPPClimate Resilience for AllHeat and gender: Enhancing her resilience to rising temperatures - World BankWorld-First Financial Product Combining Insurance and Cash Payments for Extreme Heat is a Lifeline for 50,000 Informal Women Workers in India - Climate Resilience for AllIf you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website: https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/ Cities 1.5 is produced by the University of Toronto Press and Cities 1.5 is supported by C40 Cities and the C40 Centre for City Climate Policy and Economy.

Radhika Koolwal is the co-founder of Urban Space, and her role in transforming her husband Rohit Agarwal's family textile business from Ahmedabad into one of India's leading home decor brands. Urban Space is a great example of how a fresh perspective can take a traditional business to new heights. Rohit, with his deep expertise in textiles and production, laid the foundation for the brand's quality-first approach. However, it was Radhika's entry into the business that truly propelled its growth in the digital age. When Radhika joined the business in 2018, she had no prior experience in textiles or home decor. Yet, she brought her background in engineering and marketing to the table, setting up Urban Space's e-commerce and digital strategies from scratch. Her ability to quickly adapt and understand market trends has been instrumental in Urban Space's growth, particularly in the highly competitive online market. Today, the brand boasts INR 6 crore in monthly sales and a strong digital presence, which she has helped build from the ground up.

Zara Chowdhary sits down with David Ahrens to talk about her exquisite memoir The Lucky Ones (Penguin, 2024).In 2002, Zara Chowdhary was sixteen years old and living with her family in Ahmedabad, India, when a train fire claimed the lives of sixty Hindu passengers — and upended the lives of millions of Muslims.Instead of taking her school exams that week, Zara is put under a three-month siege, with her family and thousands of others fearing for their lives as Hindu neighbors and friends transform overnight into bloodthirsty mobs, hunting and massacring their fellow citizens.The chief minister of the state at the time, Narendra Modi, was later accused of fomenting the massacre. Now, he is India's prime minister.Chowdhary's The Lucky Ones entwines lost histories across a subcontinent, as it prods open a family's secrets, and gazes unflinchingly back at a country rushing to move past the biggest pogrom in its modern history. Somehow, it also reflects the joy of two young sisters living their lives by resisting the bleakness of their home life and the dangerous world outside.It is a warning to the world by a young survivor, to democracies and to homes that won't listen to their daughters. It is an ode to the rebellion of a young woman who insists she will belong to her land, family, and faith on her own terms.About the guest: Zara Chowdhary is a writer and lecturer at UW-Madison. She has an MFA in creative writing and environment from Iowa State University and a master's in writing for performance from the University of Leeds.

Introduction As per Wikipedia, the phrase “You can never tell a book by its cover” was popularized when it appeared in the 1946 murder mystery, Murder in the Glass Room, by Lester Fuller and Edwin Rolfe: So let's talk about books today from a designer's lens. For this episode, I have, Multiple award winning designer, Ahlawat Gunjan. He is Head of Design at Penguin Random House, India. Ahlawat has a master's degree in graphic design from The Glasgow School of Art, UK. Previous to that he spent a semester at Indiana-Purdue University, USA, focusing on design thinking, innovation, and leadership. At the core, he is from NID, Ahmedabad. What goes into making a book cover design? Secrets of Book Publishing, what goes into making a book, the future of physical books in the digital world, and a few tips if you wish to get into editorial design or publication.  Questions They often say, “Don't judge a book by its cover” Although the metaphorical meaning is different, but how does that feel to you as a designer? How true it is in the world of Book Design? What are the fundamental principles of effective book cover design? How is the balance achieved between telling a story through the cover, aesthetics, and shelf presence to grab a potential reader's attention? How does cover design differ across genres? (literary fiction vs. Children's book vs. Biographies and oh… there are endless categories) What role does audience research play in cover design decisions? Beyond the cover, what design elements go into creating a cohesive and reader-friendly book experience (typography, layout, illustrations, etc.)? How does the design team collaborate with authors and editors throughout the publishing process? Can you walk us through the entire process from penning it down to finally in the reader's hand? What factors influence the size and dimensions of a book (content type, target audience, printing costs, etc.)? With the rise of digital reading, how is the role of design evolving in the publishing industry? I recently was in London and went to Waterstones. They have multiple stores. The one at Piccadilly Circus was 4 4-story huge building. The sections/categories they had were crazy. Each airport has a bookstore. What is the future of books in this digital age? What design trends do you see shaping the future of printed books? How can one be a book designer? What advice would you give to aspiring book designers? What are some of the most iconic book cover designs in history, and why are they effective? Any that you designed and felt nice about or had a good recall?

Introduction Welcome to a new series, “Footprints of History”. This series is brought to you by, The Drawing Board, with whom I am partnering for the 3rd consecutive year. The Drawing Board is an international architecture competition based in India where students can test their understanding and skills in shaping how communities live and thrive while preserving local heritage. TDB has been actively running an Architecture competition for undergraduate students since 2016. It is conceptualised by Mindspace Architects and Rohan Builders. This year, the 9th edition of the competition, the design brief revolves around redesigning the Pathu Thoon Lane in Madurai (Tamil Nadu, India) also known as "10 Pillar Street”. This site is somewhere between the Meenakshi Temple and Thirumalai Nayakar Place. The design challenge is to restore and integrate the lane's cultural heritage, emphasizing these 10 pillars. The submission deadline is 16th September 2024.  Today's episode is called, “Pillars of Past and Present”. I am pleased to have Architect Uday Andhare with us on Audiogyan. Uday has been a design principal at Indigo Architects since 1998. He holds a degree from CEPT University and the University of New Mexico. Uday advocates for technically appropriate and ecologically sensitive architecture, blending traditional wisdom with modern design. Uday teaches at CEPT University while leading his firm in Ahmedabad. He has drawn diverse experiences during his internships with B.V Doshi and while working in the USA. Questions What do you see when you see these 10 pillars on Pathu Thoon Lane? Which aspects stand out for you from an Intent, Material, and Context point of view? The Getty Podcast - B.V. Doshi said, “Is Architecture defined by theory or it's a convention, or it is something which is rooted in the place?” What are the potentialities of such a project? Do you consider it be a restoration project or conservation or anything else? You have consciously chosen friendlier materials in your projects at Indigo. If one has to restore or build things around the pillars, would you build with new materials and new technology or continue with existing materials or the same fabric? What are the few anchor points of traditional Indian architecture that still hold relevance today? (More meta) Likewise, what are the few enduring aspects of Indian architecture that can inform students in this project? Your Philosophy is “search for contemporary rootedness in this ever-changing environment”. How do you spot it? What are the key parameters on which this search happens? For you, every new project feels like your first. How can any practicing architect or any creative individual maintain this fresh perspective, this outlook/worldview? Which faculty would young architects need to build for the future digital world? Especially with AI, machines can simulate and build imaginary landscapes and more… What will make architects accept or reject AI proposals assuming they have the analog context of climate change and other challenges?

Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “We should be a mirror of being: we are God in miniature.”. I Had Srijan Jha in Ep. 258 on “How mini can a miniature art be' and a case study of ‘Green humor' with Rohan Chakravarty in Ep.253. And today's episode is an amalgamation of both. Today's guests do a lot of work in the realm of nature in miniature. I am pleased to have Nayan Shrimali & Venus Bird (earlier known as Vaishali). They are the duo who run the “The Paper Ark”, store, project - we'll find out soon. Nayan is a furniture and interior design graduate from NID, Ahmedabad. He now works full-time as a paper cut artist. Venus holds a diploma in animation and visual effects, she brings life into these objects through colors. They both are from Ahmedabad. Questions What is The Paper Ark? How did you start and why? What initially drew you both to miniature papercutting and specifically to birds and animals as your subjects? The "1000 Days of Birds" series is a remarkable feat! How did the concept for such a long-term project come about, and how did you two stay motivated throughout? Does this art form have a rich history in various cultures? Do you have a specific name for the style of papercutting you practice? Are there specializations? How can one get into this? For aspiring artists interested in papercutting, what basic skills or knowledge do you think are most important to develop? Given the intricate detail, can you give us a rough estimate of how long it typically takes to create one of your miniature artworks? What is it about working in miniature that appeals to you? Is it the focus on detail, the challenge of working small, or something else? In your collection, you have a wide variety of birds and animals. Do YOu also have various themes such as ‘Rare', and ‘Pollinator project'? How do you decide which subjects to create miniature paper cuttings of? How do you start and what is the process like? As successful artists selling your work online, have you encountered any specific challenges in marketing or running a business focused on miniature paper cutting? Can you share some insights into your tools and materials? Are there any specific types of paper or cutting implements that you find essential for creating your miniature objects? It's fascinating that your primary audience is overseas! What do you think attracts international collectors to your work? What is the future? Any new series, themes, or techniques you'd like to explore? Where and how can people collaborate?

The recent rape and murder of a trainee doctor after a 36-hour hospital shift has, according to India's top court, “shocked the conscience of the nation". It has produced protests, strikes and outrage and has focussed conversations on what it is like to be female in India, both at work and during everyday life. Arunima, for instance, lives close to the hospital, in Kolkata, where the murder happened. For her, even travelling on public transport has been traumatising after being touched inappropriately by another passenger. “That person was a father,” she said. “He had his own daughter literally sitting right on his lap". Host Luke Jones also hears from women doctors about security issues at their own hospitals in Ahmedabad, Gujarat - such as inadequate facilities to change scrubs or to sleep after long shifts. And two men share their thoughts on what is to blame for how some Indian men treat women and what changes they feel need to be made.

Amisha went to Canada for hospitality management and spent 13 years before moving to India and currently living in Ahmedabad. She got married 10 years ago and her husband is not at all interested in returning to India. Amisha talks about her background, what made her go abroad, and struggles in Canada as a student. She also talks about how they plan to move out of Canada, how they end up moving to India and how his spouse changed his mind. She also talks about planning the move, career planning, cost of living, opportunities for non-IT, cons of living in India and advice for future aspirants.

“Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who delight in them. Full of honor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever.”  — Psalm 111:1-3    Celebrate 40 Years of CGSUSA Registration for the 40th Celebration closes on August 1st, 2024!    FAQs about the 40th    Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    CORRECTION- In our conversation we referred to LTP under the wrong name. LTP's correct name is Liturgical Training Publications.    CGSUSA is a wealth of knowledge and resources to support our work with the children. One of those resources is the annual journal that is given to all members and can be purchased through the CGSUSA store.  Carol and Betsy join us on the podcast to share with us the history of the CGSUSA annual journal.  Carol Dittberner's experiences with children and adults span over 40 years. In 1974, she completed the Level I Montessori Training Course in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Just one year later, in July, 1975, Sofia Cavalletti made her first trip to the United States. In St. Paul, MN, Carol was a participant in this first course on the religious formation of the child. She completed the Assistants to Infancy Course at Opera Montessori Nationale in Rome, Italy, and has a M.A. from St. Mary's University in Minneapolis, MN. Her work as a catechist has been with Toddlers, Levels I, II, and III. As a Formation Leader, she conducted courses around the U.S., and international trips to New Zealand and Australia. Mission trips for the Missionaries of Charity include Uganda. Kenya, Rwanda, Uzbekistan, Trinidad and Sri Lanka. Carol was the co-founder of the first Catechesis Journal, first published in 1984.  Betsy Peterson lives in Chicago, Illinois. She is a wife, and the mother of two grown children.  She fell in love with the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd in 1990, and 34 years later, the love just continues to grow. She works in the 9-12 atrium at Church of Our Saviour Episcopal church, and the 3-6 atrium at St Teresa of Avila Roman Catholic church. She is certified through CGSUSA as a formation leader in all three levels. She was a member of the CGS Journal team for twelve years. Learning, praying, singing - being with the children fills her with wonder and delight, as does the deep friendships with her fellow catechists. She thanks God for giving her this work. What a gift!      Help us prepare for the 40th Celebration:  We invite you to assist with our celebration:     Please tell us where the atrium you serve is, the names of your catechists, and the first names of the children you serve in the atrium, so we may include all their names on our prayer table when we gather next August. We ask that you email this information to Susan Stuhlsatz‑Reese at susansr@cgsusa.org   We are counting on you! We are also happy to share with you that our new and improved atrium locator is now up and running! As part of our “soft launch” to make sure all is working well we are inviting you to take a first look and add your atrium if it is not there yet: Find CGS Near Me – Atrium Locator. Please consider also listing your atrium in the atrium locator. Video for easy instructions HERE  We know many catechists have gone before us to share in the heavenly banquet. We want to remember each of them. If you know a catechist who has died, please send us their name, a small bio or obituary, the gifts they shared with our CGS community and if possible, a photo. Please share with Mary Heinrich at maryheinrich@cgsusa.org.   We have opportunities for sponsors to contribute to our event fund. Please let us know of any individuals, groups, businesses, or organizations you know who may be willing to contribute. We will have some wonderful opportunities for our sponsors, more information will be coming soon.      AUDIOBOOK:    Audiobook – Now Available on Audible  CGSUSA is excited to offer you the audio version of The Religious Potential of the Child – 3rd Edition by Sofia Cavalletti, read by Rebekah Rojcewicz!  The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.    Find out more about CGS:       Learn more about the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd at www.cgsusa.org     Follow us on Social Media-  Facebook at “The United States Association of the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd”  Instagram-  cgsusa  Twitter- @cgsusa  Pinterest- Natl Assoc of Catechesis of the Good Shepherd USA  YouTube- catechesisofthegoodshepherd 

2024 T20 World Cup, Day 27, final preview: India v South Africa The big one is here... India v South Africa. It's the right combination too, with these teams the only two in the competition not to lose a game. But there's so much more to it than that. For the Proteas, this is the first time their men have made a World Cup Final. As for Rohit Sharma's side, nobody needs any reminding what happened in Ahmedabad last November. Geoff Lemon (in Barbados) is with Adam Collins to consider how well these teams match up - what a decider this has the potential to be.
