Hello Interactors,I've long been a fan of “regreening” cities, imagining replacing bits of asphalt and concrete with trees, plants, mini-parks, and green roofs to cool them down. In many cases these are indeed good interventions. But even these celebrated nature-based solutions to the “urban heat island” effect require closer inspection. It turns out any land cover change alters energy, water, and momentum exchanges between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere. Which are the right ones and where?To understand why cookie cutter greening plans can fail and how planners and policy makers can build cities that can handle climate change, we need to understand how land and the air interact. Environments vary from place to place, and this puts limits on what we can do to land to create urban climates that are both beautiful and healthy.To get a handle on what the research says, I found a literature review from 2025 that synthesized findings from 84 peer-reviewed studies. In was published in the journal Climate Risk Management.Let's see what they, and others, found.BEATING HEAT WITH BIOPHYSICAL FEATSWhat better place to start than science. Let's just delve right into how urban green spaces affect temperature. It starts with determining the energy balance at the surface of the earth. This comes from a budget equation found in physical geography. When sunlight hits the Earth's surface, it breaks down into three main fluxes, or ways heat moves around* Sensible heat flux: the heat that directly warms the surrounding air, which we measure as temperature.* Latent heat flux: the heat that's used to turn water from a liquid to a gas, like when we sweat or plants release water vapor (transpiration).* Ground heat flux: the heat stored in building materials, asphalt, and soil.In conventional urban environments dominated by concrete and asphalt, latent heat flux is minimal because we've built cities in ways that rapidly drain water away as ‘waste'. As a result, incoming solar energy is funneled into sensible heat. This raises daytime air temperatures that gets stored as ground heat, which is slowly radiated back into the city at night. Urban greening can reshuffle this thermodynamic budget through three interconnected physical mechanisms: shading, evapotranspiration, and albedo modification.Mechanism 1. Shading: Intercepting Solar RadiationShading — the most immediate and reliable cooling mechanism provided by vegetation — requires precise microclimatic quantification. Vegetative canopies act as physical shields, intercepting incoming shortwave solar radiation before it strikes impervious surfaces like concrete or asphalt. By preventing these dense materials from absorbing heat and emitting sensible heat flux back into the boundary layer, shading dramatically lowers surface temperatures and reduces the baseline thermal energy transferred to the surrounding air. (Bowler, D. E., et al. 2010)The cooling benefit of urban trees is non-linear, accelerating significantly once neighborhood canopy cover crosses a critical threshold of around 40%. Measuring daytime air temperatures across urban gradients, they found that canopy cover above this 40% mark can lower local air temperatures by up to 1.5 to 2.0 degrees Celsius, effectively offsetting the thermal burden created by surrounding roads and impervious surfaces. (Ziter, C. D., et al. 2019)Mechanism 2. Evapotranspiration: Trading Sensible Heat for Latent HeatWhile shading blocks heat absorption, evapotranspiration actively removes heat from the air. Plants absorb soil moisture through their root systems and release it as water vapor through tiny microscopic pores in their leaves called stomata. This process requires thermal energy that turns phase-changing liquid water into gas. This energy transfer absorbs sensible heat and converts it into latent heat.Evapotranspiration from well-watered urban green spaces can lower local air temperatures by 2-4 degrees celsius. (Coutts, et al., 2013) However, physical geographers emphasize a crucial physical prerequisite that is easy to overlook: evapotranspiration is entirely dependent on available water. When the soil is dry or the air is super dry, plants close their stomata to save water. When stomata close, evapotranspiration shuts down. This leaves shading as the sole remaining cooling mechanism.Mechanism 3. Albedo Dynamics: The Surface Reflectivity ParadoxAlbedo measures the reflectivity of a surface on a scale from 0.0 (total absorption) to 1.0 (total reflection). Urban asphalt has a low albedo (0.05 to 0.10), absorbing up to 95% of incoming solar energy. Vegetation's albedo can range from 0.11 to 0.25.In temperate climates, replacing low-albedo asphalt with greenery or reflective surfaces increases surface reflectivity, sending more solar radiation back into space before it can be absorbed as sensible heat. One study documented that increasing urban surface albedo typically lowers peak ambient air temperatures by 0.3 degres Celsius to 1.0 degree Celsius — alongside much larger drops in surface pavement temperatures. While a temperature change under one degree Celsius may sound modest at first glance, a baseline shift of this magnitude across a neighborhood is enough to redefine a local microclimate. (Santamouris, 2014)But swapping out light urban surfaces for dark vegetation can also have a negative effect. Paradoxically, when researchers in 2023 replaced dry, light-colored desert soil with darker vegetation in hot, arid regions it reduced overall surface reflectivity. The drop in albedo caused an increase in daytime surface warming. (Schlaerth, et al., 2023)Furthermore, dense tree canopies inside narrow urban street canyons can act as thermal blankets at night. While trees provide valuable shade during the day, their foliage reduces the sky view factor at street level, trapping outgoing longwave thermal radiation emitted by surrounding building facades and asphalt. When combined with reduced wind permeability, this canopy barrier restricts nocturnal radiative cooling and holds warm air near ground level (Lee et al., 2016).These are the physical realities that can demonstrate how urban greening is not a consistently inherent cooling practice. It is a complex thermodynamic intervention whose success relies entirely on local environmental conditions.PLACEMENT, PATCHES, AND PARK PATTERNSBecause thermodynamic processes happen across physical spaces, cooling urban green space can be uneven. The literature review reveals that a green space's cooling capacity depends on four spatial and biological variables: vegetation density, species selection, spatial configuration, and urban morphology. Let's break them down individually.Cooling Factor 1. Vegetation Density and Species TraitsNot all greenery cools equally. One way to measure this is through a Leaf Area Index (LAI). This is the total leaf area per unit of ground area and is a primary predictor of thermal performance. As you might imagine, dense foliage absorbs more from the sun and then produces higher cumulative transpiration (so long as there's adequate water).Botanical traits also play a big role. Broadleaf deciduous species (like oaks or maples) feature large surface areas that maximize summer transpiration, but that goes away when they drop their leaves in winter. Evergreen coniferous trees, however, maintain continuous canopy coverage through every season.In temperate rainforest environments like Seattle or Vancouver, researchers found that conifers cooled urban surroundings up to 1.7 degrees celsius more effectively than broadleaf trees. Dense needle canopies continuously block incoming solar radiation due to higher LAI and the fact that clusters of spiny needles better trap a stable buffer of calm air which moderates heat exchange with the surrounding urban environment. (Eyster & Beckage, 2022, 2023) Cooling factor 2. Spatial Configuration: Landscape Ecology PrinciplesEcologists and geographers commonly evaluate green spaces through two main attributes: composition (how much green space exists) and configuration (how those green patches are arranged across the landscape). Over 58% of the mechanism-focused studies in the literature review analyzed spatial pattern metrics. The consensus is the spatial layout of green space is just as important as its total area!Other empirical studies consistently demonstrate that cooling effects decay the further you get from green spaces. Research done in 2016 and 2023 shows how urban parks can produce a primary “cooling footprint” that extends typically 100 to 300 meters from the park boundaries. If you're lucky enough to live within this buffer, temperatures drop between 1.9 and 3.1 degrees celsius, but beyond 300 meters, the cooling influence quickly falls off. (Bao, et al. 2016, Shi et al. 2023)This spatial limit leads to a couple spatial layout choices. A few big parks or connected networks of smaller green spaces. Large, consolidated parks (>2 hectares) generate intense, stable “cool islands” at their core, but their benefits remain localized. For example, a study in Xalapa, Mexico, revealed that parks larger than 2.8 hectares with over 21% tree cover provided reliable local cooling of around 2 degrees celsius . (Lemoine-Rodriguez et al., 2022)Connected networks of smaller green spaces distributed across a city create a more equitable cooling effect. Three studies in 2019 and 2021 show that fragmented, isolated green patches — like big parks — perform poorly compared to continuous, linear green corridors. Linear “green belts” or street-tree networks (in the right environment) can act as ventilation channels, allowing cool air generated by vegetation to flow into adjacent built-up neighborhoods. (Masoudi et al., 2019, 2021; Pramanik, 2019)Cooling factor 3. Urban Morphology: The Built Environment MatrixObviously, green spaces don't exist in isolation. They're embedded within a three-dimensional hodge podge of buildings, streets, and other bits of infrastructure. Urban morphologists can quantify this urban morphological cacophony using building height-to-street-width ratio and sky view factor - the extent to which surrounding structures and canopies obstruct a location's view of the open sky.High-density urban cores with tall buildings create deep “urban canyons” that generate their own shade. In these settings, building shade can combine with tree shade during peak daylight hours to significantly lower temperatures.However, studies show that if tree canopies in narrow street canyons are too dense — particularly in humid environments — they can trap anthropogenic heat emitted by vehicle exhaust and air conditioning condenser units. They can also significantly reduce localized wind speeds. As a result, maximizing green space cooling efficiency requires aligning vegetation density and canopy architecture with prevailing wind corridors to preserve urban ventilation channels (Cheung & Jim, 2019; Morakinyo et al., 2019).Nothing is every as easy as it seems.BRIDGING GAPS WITH BETTER MAPSWhile academic literature can offer detailed insights into microclimatic processes, there remains a big gap between academia and urban planning and governmental policy. That gap may be self-fulfilling. The literature review of 84 papers revealed 61% of the papers simply advocate for expanding green space area, whereas only 26% focus on optimizing existing green infrastructure.Recommending that dense, historical cities “add more large parks” ignores real-world urban constraints. In modern, rapidly expanding cities, urban land is expensive, highly contested, and structurally constrained. Space dedicated to a new park often competes directly with housing, transit infrastructure, or commercial development. To move beyond idealistic slogans, urban planning will have to recon with three major implementation challenges.Challenge 1. The Water-Energy-Heat Nexus in Arid CitiesThe most significant implementation challenge facing nature-based solutions occurs precisely where urban heat stress is most severe — in hot, arid regions. Cities like Phoenix, Cairo, Tehran, or Riyadh already suffer from intense summer heatwaves. You don't have to live in or visit these places to know water there is extremely scarce.Maintaining green spaces in places like this requires pumping groundwater or desalinating seawater. Pumping and desalinating water requires massive amounts of electricity, which only increases greenhouse gas emissions if that power is coming from fossil fuels. Furthermore, if irrigation water runs out during a heatwave, non-adapted vegetation dries out, loses its cooling capacity, and can even become a wildfire risk.To solve this dilemma, physical geographers advocate evaluating urban greening through a standardized resource efficiency metric: evapotranspirative cooling per unit of water applied. In plain language, this ratio measures how many degrees of cooling you get for each liter (or gallon) of water that plants and soil release into the air through evaporation and transpiration.In dry climates — where municipal water is already tightly rationed and turfgrass is increasingly discouraged but rarely banned (I'm looking at you Arizona) — urban greening strategies are going to have pivot away from high-water lawns and non-native foliage. These cities have to move from simply prioritizing or incentivizing drought-tolerant species to requiring them. While drought-tolerant plants transpire less water than many other plants and trees — and still require water — when combined with drip-irrigation using treated municipal wastewater (greywater), they can provide a pretty reliable canopy shade and even modest evaporative cooling without draining water reserves.Challenge 2. Environmental Justice and Thermal EquityUrban heat exposure is rarely, if ever, distributed evenly across socio-economic groups. In many cities worldwide, low-income neighborhoods exhibit significantly lower tree canopy cover, higher proportions of impervious asphalt, and higher building densities than the more affluent suburbs and ex-urbs. This imbalance leaves more vulnerable populations exposed to extreme heat hazards.When municipalities undertake uncoordinated “regreening” projects, they risk triggering green gentrification. Installing fancy attractive parks can then inflate surrounding property values, displacing residents while still not reducing their heat related vulnerability.To address this, requires targeted interventions like deploying small-scale, distributed interventions (think pocket parks, vegetated bus stops, and road corridors) directly in high-vulnerability, low-canopy/vegetation neighborhoods. You could focus on functional shading over high-maintenance aesthetics. This could better ensure that at least transit stops, pedestrian walkways, and playgrounds are prioritized for canopy cover. Lastly, combining situated green infrastructure with social policy could create and/or protect more affordable housing around old and new greened public corridors and spaces.Challenge 3. A Multi-Benefit, Context-Specific Design FrameworkNo single cooling intervention works everywhere. Planners and policy makers need to adopt an integrated, multi-tiered approach that combines nature-based solutions with material interventions.In arid and semi-arid environments, planners should prioritize structural canopy shading and end an over-reliance on water-intensive lawn evapotranspiration. It's time to demand drought-tolerant trees with greywater irrigation networks, shade sails, and high-albedo “cool pavements” that can better reflect solar radiation without draining water resources.In contrast, humid and more temperate climates would likely benefit most from maximizing green spatial connectivity. By linking existing parks through linear street-tree corridors — with select broadleaf and/or coniferous species — summer evapotranspiration can be enhanced while maintaining year-round microclimate regulation.Finally, within high-density, built-up cores where ground space for new parks is limited, cities should leverage vertical green walls and green roofs paired with reflective building materials. But they best also preserve prevailing wind corridors while preventing nighttime heat traps through street canyons.“Regreening” is a compelling slogan, but as physical geography demonstrates, simplistic blanket policies can yield unpredictable thermodynamic results. Simply planting trees without considering local climate, available water, species traits, spatial configuration, and urban geometry can lead to unintended consequences.The exhaustive synthesis of decade-long research provided by Hadi Soltanifard and Majid Amani-Beni (2025) offers a clear path forward. Nature-based solutions are not off-the-shelf products that can be copy-pasted across different global cities. They are dynamic, living interventions that alter energy fluxes across urban surfaces.By moving beyond blanket acreage targets and framing urban greening as the strategic reorganization of surface-energy relations, geographers, urban planners, and policymakers will need to work together. When we design green infrastructure that respects local environmental constraints, honors spatial equity, and optimizes microclimatic processes, urban greening moves from a vague policy promise toward tools of experimentation that can pragmatically evolve our cities and megaregions into truly climate-resilient urbanscapes.ReferencesBowler, D.

After a rough stretch, investment firm AQR is on a 5-year hot streak thanks to a new AI infused investing strategy and strong tax-friendly returns, beloved by financial advisors. Last year was a banner year for many hedge funds and quant shops, and Greenwich, CT-based Applied Quantitative Research—better known as AQR—was no exception. Its assets under management have ballooned to $187 billion, increasing $73 billion in 2025. All three of its billionaire founders saw their net worths double. Cliff Asness, AQR's PhD-holding chief investment officer and largest individual shareholder with an estimated 30% stake, is now worth $6.3 billion, making him the 664th richest in the world. Cofounders John Liew and David Kabiller each saw their net worths jump to over $2 billion. The three founders—who started AQR in 1998 after working together at Goldman Sachs Asset Management—are all heavily invested in AQR's funds, tying their own fortunes to the firm's performance.  Last year AQR's core multi-strategy Apex fund, which has $6.7 billion in assets, returned 19.4%, while its Delphi long-short fund (also $6.7 billion in assets) returned 16.7%, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked for anonymity to share private information. On average over the last five years the two funds have each returned 16.6% on an annualized basis, the person added. (For comparison, the S&P 500 returned 14.4% annualized over that same time period). Among the firm's more than two dozen open-ended mutual funds, AQR's Equity Market Neutral Fund, with $3.2 billion in assets and around 2,000 positions, held both long and short, gained 26.5% in 2025. Over the last 5-years it has averaged 19.6% annually versus around 8% for most funds in its category. If AQR maintains last year's growth trajectory it will soon eclipse its previous all-time high of $226 billion in assets (in 2018), which would cap an impressive comeback for the firm, which managed less than $100 billion as recently as four years ago amid underperformance and customer outflows.  AQR's turnaround has coincided with its full-throated embrace of AI and deliberate expansion of machine-learning techniques across research and trading. As a factor-based investor, AQR traditionally sought to use value investing metrics like price-to-book or return on equity to determine which equities in the market are over or undervalued. It then relied on human input to assign weights to the various factors they use to drive stock selection. Now, machine learning is helping do that—detecting complex interactions between factors, recalibrating their weights in real time, mining huge datasets for predictive signals. On the research side, natural language processing (think ChatGPT or Claude) is helping analysts comb through reams of data to improve their models.  AQR, whose founders Asness and Liew were schooled under the University of Chicago's efficient market Nobel Laureate economist Eugene Fama, was late to the AI party compared to peers like Renaissance Technologies and D.E. Shaw. AQR hired its first head of machine learning in 2018, and that person lasted just seven months in the job. But his replacement, Brian Kelly, a Yale finance professor, has made a big splash. In December 2021, Kelly co-published a 141-page academic paper, The Virtue of Complexity in Return Prediction, which concluded that more sophisticated machine learning models outperformed simpler models in forecasting stock returns and constructing investment portfolios. Several academics wrote their own papers in response that disputed Kelly's findings saying that the research relied on an overly narrow dataset. AQR has defended the paper and continues to stand by its findings.  More recently, Asness himself has taken up the mantle of AI evangelizer-in-chief. He remarked that AQR has “surrendered more to the machine” and that AI was coming for his own job. Despite all the talk, AQR insiders insist AI has not extinguished human input. “ML and AI are definitely paying dividends in our process, but they're evolutionary, not revolutionary, to what we do,” says a person at the company. To wit, the revolutionary stuff appears to be happening in the less sexy distribution side of the business, where AQR is meeting rising demand from financial advisors seeking tax-friendly funds for their wealthy clients. This category of investor—rather than AQR's traditional institutional client base like pension funds and endowments—is now its largest source of inflows. The CEO of Affiliated Managers Group, which owns a minority stake in AQR, said during last month's earnings call that AQR's advisory client base is “driving significant organic growth,” and that its own full-year net inflows of $51 billion were “primarily driven by AQR.”  Read the full story on Forbes: By John Hyatt https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnhyatt/2026/03/16/how-3-billionaire-investors-used-ai-to-double-their-fortunes-in-a-year/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This Will Not End Well, em cartaz no Grand Palais e na Capela Saint-Louis da Salpêtrière, oferece uma visão inédita em Paris da obra de Nan Goldin, norte-americana que acaba de completar 70 anos como estrela inconteste da fotografia mundial. Goldin descreve seu trabalho no material da mostra e dá o tom da curadoria que recupera cinco décadas de um trabalho intenso, cru e cheio de empatia : “Sempre quis ser cineasta. Meus slideshows são filmes compostos de fotos”.   Márcia Bechara, da RFI em Paris A mostra, aberta a partir de quarta-feira (18) para o público na capital francesa, ocupa o Salão de Honra do Grand Palais e a Capela Saint-Louis da Salpêtrière, onde está sendo apresentada a instalação Sisters, Saints and Sibyls, concebida em 2004 para o Festival de Outono de Paris. Apesar de não ter podido estar presente na coletiva de imprensa em 17 de março por problemas de saúde, a presença da artista é sentida em cada detalhe da mostra. A seu pedido, Goldin foi substituída, durante a coletiva em Paris, por uma longa e pungente mensagem gravada por ela e um vídeo de apoio aos palestinos e à Faixa de Gaza, projetado nas paredes do Grand Palais. O curador sueco Fredrik Liew, responsável pela retrospectiva e diretor de exposições e coleções do Moderna Museet, em Estocolmo, acredita se tratar de “um grande erro quando se pensa nessa mensagem política como algo separado do resto da exposição". "Pelo que entendo da prática de Nan, o que me engaja é a dedicação dela às outras pessoas, à empatia e a como vivemos juntos. O que está acontecendo no mundo — populismo, terror, guerra — são consequências da falta de empatia. Nan propõe, com seu trabalho, mostrar o ser humano, estar junto e se esforçar para construir um mundo melhor”, observou à RFI. Gaza, AIDS e a convergência de lutas Ao longo das últimas décadas, a fotógrafa Nan Goldin tem criado imagens marcantes que exploram a poética do pessoal. Mais do que qualquer outro artista de sua estatura, Goldin tem usado seu sucesso para denunciar a ganância dos poderosos, desde a resposta lenta do governo norte-americano à crise da AIDS, que matou tantos de seus amigos na década de 1980, até o lucro da indústria farmacêutica e a epidemia de overdoses que ela desencadeou. Neta de judeus asquenazes da Polônia, ela passou os últimos anos, em suas próprias palavras, "consumida" pela destruição de Gaza e de seu povo. No início de 2026, ela e seu editor, David Sherman, começaram a costurar vídeos da Palestina – cenas de normalidade e de atrocidade, ambas – para produzir Gaza, um mosaico de dor e beleza, com imagens de antes e depois da guerra, vídeo apresentado também durante a coletiva de imprensa de lançamento de sua retrospectiva em Paris: Nan Goldin é reconhecida como uma artista maior que transita entre os séculos 20 e 21 revolucionando a fotografia contemporânea e a cultura visual. Com um título que encampa a ironia e a agudeza de seu olhar sobre o mundo, a retrospectiva This Will Not End Well (Isso Não Vai Acabar Bem, em tradução livre), no Grand Palais, é a primeira exposição na França a oferecer uma visão completa do trabalho da artista como cineasta, por meio de slideshows e vídeos.  Viagem sensorial Cada pavilhão da exposição parisiense parece pensado para contar uma história própria, transformando o percurso em um passeio sensorial pela obra de Nan Goldin. Sobre a montagem no Grand Palais, Hala Wardé, arquiteta e cenógrafa que colabora com a artista há anos, observou que “esse grande espaço parisiense acabou de ser reformado e recuperou uma luz que tinha perdido. Era importante voltar a este espaço e brincar com essa luz, mesmo que tenhamos decidido filtrá-la para manter um jogo de sombras e claridade. Aqui, no Salão de Honra — um lugar muito alto e imponente — optamos por torná-la menos densa. São cinco salas, em vez de seis como nos outros museus. A singularidade desta apresentação parisiense está na instalação de Sisters, Saints and Sibyls: ela é diferente, mas fiel à original.” Para Wardé, a luz é mais que um detalhe, “ela é o elemento que mais muda de cidade para cidade". "A luz de Paris não é a mesma de Estocolmo nem a de Milão. Decidimos torná-la menos intensa, ajustando a experiência ao espaço e à narrativa da exposição”, especificou. Sobre a disposição da obra na Capela Saint-Louis da Salpêtrière, a arquiteta detalhou que preferiu "respeitar a instalação exatamente como foi concebida para este lugar". "Inclusive, me inspirei nela para criar uma sala específica, com planta octogonal. Mantivemos toda a estrutura. Há um mezanino suspenso que provoca vertigem. A obra evoca o suicídio de sua irmã Barbara, em relação à história de Santa Bárbara. É muito intensa, e a forma como foi montada está perfeitamente adaptada a esta apresentação.” Uma narrativa viva e política Mais do que uma retrospectiva de fotografias, a mostra propõe redescobrir a obra como experiência audiovisual. O curador sueco Fredrik Liew explica: “Talvez as pessoas esperem fotografias em molduras, mas não há obras impressas. Meu convite à artista foi mostrar toda a sua prática, suas milhares de imagens, no formato de slideshows que ela produziu ao longo da carreira. Selecionamos seis para esta exposição. Essa é a curadoria dela de suas imagens, narrativas da sua obra de vida. Ela organiza todas as imagens que produz em diferentes histórias, contadas por meio desses slides e seus trabalhos em vídeo.” Ele também comentou à RFI a maneira como a artista revisita constantemente suas obras. “Ela nunca parou de trabalhar, sempre refaz. Não existe apenas uma maneira de mostrar suas obras, mas muitas, e isso se desenvolve. The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, por exemplo, quando começou a ser exibida no final dos anos 1970 e início dos anos 1980, sempre era diferente, e continua diferente a cada apresentação. Ela sempre acrescentava imagens e apresentava tudo de maneira diferente, inspirada pelos contextos dos lugares. Ela sempre vê o trabalho a partir do presente: ‘Este é meu trabalho e é assim que o vejo hoje'. Estamos apresentando Nan como cineasta e contadora de histórias. Não estamos retirando nada de sua fotografia, mas acrescentando essa dimensão”, diz. A particularidade da montagem parisiense está na reinstalação de Sisters, Saints and Sibyls, originalmente criada para a Salpêtrière. Liew observa: “O que é realmente único em Paris é poder revisitar a Salpêtrière para a instalação de Sisters, Saints and Sibyls. A obra foi criada para o Festival de Outono em 2004 e estreou nesse local. Somos muito gratos por poder reinstalá-la agora, 20 anos depois, e mostrar a um público maior, além de apresentar todo o contexto de seu trabalho na forma desta exposição no Grand Palais.” Som, emoção e diaporamas O som é parte central da narrativa de Goldin. Barbara Kroher, curadora associada em Paris, explica que "a construção narrativa de Nan é muito sutil, quase epidérmica, incluindo a trilha sonora, que tem papel central.As escolhas musicais são ecléticas: Chopin, Schubert, Velvet Underground, Maria Callas, Edmundo Rivero. O som não pode ser separado da imagem; ele guia a narrativa. Em The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, há um subtexto sonoro. Em Sisters, Saints and Sibyls, na Capela da Salpêtrière, ouvimos coros medievais e a voz de Nan, ampliando a dor que permeia a obra. Em Memory Lost, há gravações de secretárias eletrônicas dos anos 1980, acrescentando significado às imagens. O diaporama é uma forma híbrida, entre fotografia e cinema.” A exposição inclui trabalhos que exploram traumas familiares, suicídio, dependência química e relações de gênero. Wardé ressalta: “Cada sala, cada luz, cada detalhe foi pensado para que o visitante se sinta atravessando uma experiência íntima e sensorial. A obra fala de dor, mas também de empatia, de estar junto com o outro.” Contexto histórico e social Goldin é conhecida por abordar questões sociais como gênero, saúde mental e crises de dependência. Em Memory Lost, ela explora os aspectos mais sombrios da dependência química. Em 2017, fundou o grupo P.A.I.N. (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now), atuando contra a família Sackler, considerada responsável pela epidemia de overdoses de opioides, pressionando instituições a removerem o nome dos doadores de seus espaços. O trabalho da artista também documenta a vida boêmia e alternativa de Nova York entre os anos 1970 e 1990, retratando amizades, festas e relacionamentos. Em material oficial, a exposição apresenta obras icônicas como The Ballad of Sexual Dependency (1981-2022), The Other Side (1992-2021), Sisters, Saints and Sibyls (2004-2022), Memory Lost (2019-2021), Sirens (2019-2020) e Stendhal Syndrome (2024). Paris como memória e cena artística A capital francesa mantém um vínculo duradouro com a artista. Kroher contextualiza: “Nan viajou pela Europa desde jovem, morou em Paris, fotografou amigos e apresentou trabalhos aqui. Alguns amigos aparecem em suas obras, como Valérie em Standard Syndrome e Kim Harlow, ícone transgênero dos cabarés parisienses nos anos 1980. Ela tem um vínculo duradouro com a cidade e a exposição reflete isso.” A curadora francesa observa ainda o impacto do olhar de Goldin: “São histórias sobre emoções e relações humanas em toda a sua diversidade e complexidade. A empatia é constante em seu trabalho. A exposição nos mostra que a arte pode criar um senso de comunidade.” Um vilarejo de slideshows Os pavilhões formam um conjunto que funciona como um “vilarejo”, em que cada espaço é adaptado à obra que apresenta. “Cada sala, luz e arquitetura dialogam com os slideshows, reforçando a intimidade e a narrativa política da obra, conduzindo o visitante por trajetórias de memória, emoção e cinema”, explica Wardé. This Will Not End Well fica em cartaz até 21 de junho de 2026 no o Salão de Honra do Grand Palais e na Capela Saint-Louis da Salpêtrière, em Paris.

Editors - Skip Macdonald ACE, Chris McCaleb ACE and Joey Liew The PLUR1BUS editing team of Skip, Chris and Joey have worked together for 15 years on Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and now his new sci-fi hit for Apple TV+.  With that kind of shared experience the three have established a creative "hive mind" of their own, while still demonstrating their individual talents as storytellers.  Despite PLUR1BUS being such a departure from the stories he has told up to this point, it's easy to see why one thing Vince wouldn't change is the post crew that has helped make his shows modern classics. PLUR1BUS follows Albuquerque author Carol Sturka, who is one of only 13 people in the world immune to the effects of the "Joining", an event in which an extraterrestrial virus transformed the rest of humanity into a peaceful and content hive mind known as the "Others". The hive mind happily accommodates the wishes of those who remain unaffected, but admits that it will ultimately seek to assimilate them when it learns how to do so. Carol is adamantly against their efforts as she searches for a way to reverse the Joining. SKIP MACDONALD, ACE Despite an inauspicioius beginning to his career, working as an assistant sound editor on legendary film flop, Heaven's Gate, today Skip's mantle features an Emmy® award for his work on Breaking Bad.  Adding his work on Fargo to the shows he has done with Vince Gilligan, Skip has been nominated for 12 ACE Eddie awards and 11 prime-time Emmy® awards, including his win in 2014. CHRIS McCALEB, ACE In addition to being thrice nominated for an Emmy® award for his work on Breaking Bad (1x) and Better Call Saul (2x), Chris has been nominated for a total of four ACE Eddie awards between the two shows, winning in 2021 for his work on Better Call Saul.   JOEY LIEW California native turned New Mexico transplant, Joey Liew has steadily risen up the ranks of Vince Gilligan's ABQ universe.  Joey began on Breaking Bad in 2010 as a production assistant, before making his way as an assistant editor and then editor on Better Call Saul and now PLUR1BUS.  In 2021 Liew would share an ACE Eddie award with Chris for their work on the Season 5 Better Call Saul episode, "Bad Choice Road".

Tat-siong Benny Liew, Ph.D. is Professor, Class of 1956 Chair in New Testament Studies at Holy Cross College. In this rich and reflective conversation, Dr. Nancy Lynne Westfield and Dr. Tat-siong Benny Liew explore the complexities of mentoring within academic and theological contexts. They discuss mentoring as a relational, communal, and intergenerational practice rather than a top-down, ego-driven model. Emphasizing listening over advice-giving, they critique hierarchical approaches and advocate for mutual, organic relationships built on trust and care. Both speakers highlight the importance of multiple mentors across one's career, including peer and reverse mentoring, and the vital role mentoring plays in sustaining intellectual and theological traditions. The episode concludes with reflections on mentoring as a form of invisible labor and collective responsibility to nurture future scholars.

Deuxième épisode de notre série « nouvelles routes de la soie, dix ans après ». La Malaisie est un point de passage vital pour le commerce maritime mondial, et en particulier pour la Chine. Pékin y construit des ports et des chemins de fer pour éviter le détroit de Malacca, contrôlé par les Américains. C'est la justification première des « nouvelles routes de la soie ». Mais où est l'intérêt de la Malaisie ? Les populations locales affectées par les projets chinois souffrent du manque de transparence et de la corruption des élites.  En Asie du Sud-Est, la Malaisie occupe une place stratégique. Son versant Ouest longe le détroit de Malacca, qui sépare le pays de l'Indonésie. Il est le passage obligé des routes commerciales maritimes qui relient l'Europe et le Moyen-Orient à l'Asie. Entre le tiers et la moitié des flux mondiaux de marchandises transitent par ce détroit. La Malaisie est donc centrale dans tout projet qui vise à faciliter l'intégration de la région au commerce mondial. « Cela permet également de faciliter le commerce entre les pays de l'Asean ainsi qu'entre l'Asean, la Chine et d'autres parties du monde », explique Liew Chee Yoong, économiste spécialisé en gouvernance d'entreprise et développement financier à l'université de UCSI de Kuala Lumpur. Cela découle de l'augmentation de la connectivité induite par les projets des « nouvelles routes de la soie ». « Ces projets seront en fait très positifs et peut être très fructueux, compte tenu de ce qui se passe actuellement dans divers pays de l'Asean. »Un millier de bateaux empruntent le détroit de Malacca chaque jour - et faire passer les marchandises à travers la Malaisie pourrait faire gagner des jours entiers. Afin que les marchandises puissent être transportées plus rapidement et plus efficacement de la côte Est en Ouest, une ligne ferroviaire traversant le pays est en cours de construction, permettant ainsi d'éviter le détroit de Malacca. Nouvelle voie terrestreC'est à Kuantan, sur la côte Est du pays, ville incontournable sur les « nouvelles routes de la soie », qu'ont débuté les travaux de construction d'une ligne de chemin de fer nommée ECRL (East Coast Railway Link), ou ligne ferroviaire de la côte est, et de gares afin de faciliter le transport des marchandises.  Sauf que ces projets ne font pas l'unanimité auprès des populations locales. À une cinquantaine de kilomètres au nord de Kuantan, la maison de Rokamar, dame âgée au visage souriant, est plantée au milieu d'un grand terrain sur lequel se trouvent des poulaillers, des ateliers de construction… Tout ce que sa famille a bâti depuis plus de 40 ans sera réduit à néant pour faire place à une route bétonnée. « Nous avons été pris au dépourvu dès le début du projet. Les responsables ne sont venus ici que lorsque les choses ont été finalisées, nous confie Rokamar. Il n'y a donc rien que l'on puisse faire, nous devons accepter ce que Dieu nous a imposé. Je suis en colère que nous soyons forcés d'accepter ces projets et que nous soyons obligés de céder nos terres. »Sulung, son mari, peau burinée à force de travailler en extérieur, voudrait que le projet soit déplacé de quelques kilomètres. « À proximité, il y a des milliers de kilomètres carrés de marécages, ils pourraient construire là-bas, dit-il en tendant le bras vers un espace vide. Ce n'est pas que nous soyons contre le progrès, mais ils pourraient déplacer la ligne ferroviaire dans la zone marécageuse, il n'y a rien du tout là-bas. Lorsqu'ils sont venus faire des relevés et des mesures, ils nous ont dit que c'était pour construire une route d'accès à la gare. Il ne s'agit même pas d'y installer la voie de chemin de fer, mais une voie d'accès ! »Rokamar exprime tout haut ce que tous dans leur village pensent tout bas. « Pour moi, ceux qui ne sont pas directement touchés peuvent facilement parler des avantages de l'ECRL. S'ils étaient frappés de plein fouet, comme nous, ils sauraient à quel point c'est un bouleversement de devoir tout changer à sa vie. »Quelles indemnisations ? Le couple, parents de huit enfants, a toutefois une chance que d'autres n'ont pas : un titre de propriété de leur terre, garantissant un minimum d'indemnisation pour leur perte. Mais pour Razali, qui vit à moins de 5 km de là, ce n'est pas le cas. « Ils disent qu'ils paieront une somme, je cite, “symbolique”, je ne vais pas pouvoir faire grand-chose avec… Je ne peux pas reconstruire ma maison avec une somme symbolique ! » explique le vieil homme, assis en tailleur sur un tapis dans son salon. « S'ils m'indemnisent correctement, je pourrai, après l'expropriation, aplanir le terrain derrière ma maison, qui est pour le moment un marécage et y construire ma nouvelle maison. S'ils ne m'indemnisent qu'un peu, je pourrai seulement me permettre de drainer ce marécage. Mais je n'aurai pas assez pour construire une maison. Alors je suppose que je vais simplement rester là, assis sur le sol. J'ai fait appel mais ils ne veulent plus m'écouter, alors je n'ai plus d'options. Je veux pouvoir reconstruire ma maison, car je ne peux plus travailler, je suis un vieil homme. » Sa femme Zakaria a le regard triste, rempli d'incompréhension face à une situation qui les dépasse. « Mon cœur n'est pas en paix, confie-t-elle après un moment d'hésitation. Notre maison, nous y avons vécu si longtemps. C'est comme si on plantait un arbre et que, lorsqu'il porte des fruits, quelqu'un venait l'abattre. C'est difficile pour nous de perdre notre logement, tout s'écroule. Ce fut un sacrifice de toute une vie. Depuis notre jeunesse, on a gagné péniblement notre vie, en faisant des petits boulots pour construire cette maison. Aujourd'hui, nous approchons de la fin de notre vie, nous n'avons plus la force. Ils viennent soudainement tout démolir, cela m'attriste. » Leur voisine, Wan Zainab, tient une échoppe non loin de là. Elle aussi sera détruite pour laisser place à la construction de la voie ferrée. « C'est triste parce que nous sommes là depuis si longtemps. J'ai démonté les étagères, la plupart des affaires sont maintenant sur le sol, ça ne paye pas de mine, nous dit-elle en montrant le parterre encombré. À ce stade, je n'ai pas d'autre source de revenus si le magasin est démoli. Mais je dois quand même gérer une affaire, trouver un autre endroit. Vendre des choses est la seule chose que je sais faire, je ne connais rien d'autre. »Wan Zainab a tenté de faire entendre les problèmes qu'elle rencontrait. « Je suis allée au bureau du cadastre. Nous avons demandé ce qu'il en était pour les terres sans titres, et ils ont répondu qu'ils accorderaient une compensation de 30 %. Comment reconstruire avec 30 % de la valeur du bâtiment ? Est-ce suffisant ? »Des projets qui ne cessent de s'agrandir De retour à Kuantan, nous rencontrons Bakar, une représentante de la communauté locale. Selon elle, l'arrivée des investissements chinois est une bonne nouvelle, même si, ce qui l'inquiète, c'est le Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park situé à Kuantan. Cette entité économique est jumelée au China Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park en Chine - un nouveau modèle d'exploitation des capacités de production internationales baptisé « Deux pays, deux parcs ».« Ce qui est un peu inquiétant, c'est qu'il s'étend, s'étend, s'étend… Il en est maintenant à la troisième ou quatrième phase d'expansion, raconte-t-elle. Le fait que le parc s'étende à ce point signifie que de plus en plus de nos terres sont convoitées par le gouvernement chinois. Mais la réalité qui se cache derrière est discutable et douteuse. Pourquoi ? Parce que nous avons entendu des rumeurs selon lesquelles le bail pourrait nous échapper car ils ont déjà dépensé beaucoup d'argent. »Cela entraîne d'autres problématiques, souligne-t-elle, qui affectent les Malaisiens. « Ils n'embauchent pas beaucoup de locaux : ils ont leurs propres structures, des condominiums de cinq blocs où vivent tous leurs travailleurs qui viennent de Chine travailler ici. Ils restent à l'intérieur. Cela ne crée donc pas d'emploi, ou très peu. Et puis à l'intérieur, c'est comme en Chine. Ils ont des distributeurs automatiques qui utilisent des yuans, la monnaie chinoise. Ils ont leur propre supermarché. C'est pratiquement comme une ville chinoise ici. Leurs travailleurs ne viennent pas en ville. Ils sont juste confinés à l'intérieur. Nous ne savons pas ce qui se passe à l'intérieur. On voudrait de la transparence. » Ce constat n'étonne pas l'économiste Liew Chee Yoong. Mais il pense qu'au bout du compte, ceux qui sont affectés par ce développement finiront par le voir sous un meilleur jour : « Je pense qu'il faut penser aux retombées économiques, et qu'il faut se projeter sur le long terme. Cette connectivité peut apporter de nombreux avantages économiques en stimulant l'hôtellerie, le tourisme, les industries logistiques et ainsi de suite, malgré les incertitudes économiques mondiales. »Malgré toutes les opinions et effets négatifs potentiels, l'économiste estime que les avantages l'emportent. Selon lui, de nombreux pays impliqués dans ce projet en tireront d'énormes bénéfices d'un point de vue économique. Y compris la Malaisie. Malacca, port en haute merLa ligne de chemin de fer en cours de construction à Kuantan aura pour destination la capitale Kuala Lumpur. Mais elle fera également la jonction avec un autre grand port de la côte ouest, Malacca. Le plus ancien des ports de Malaisie est marqué par près de 130 ans de colonisation portugaise, et l'on peut apercevoir dans son centre l'héritage de cette époque coloniale. Mais tout autour, ce qui est frappant, ce sont les immeubles abandonnés, les chantiers en cours un peu partout aux abords de la ville. Ce que déplore Jane, dont le nom a été modifié car elle travaille pour une entreprise sino-malaisienne. Elle a grandi à Malacca et pour elle, le visage de la ville a complètement changé. « Si vous traversez les quartiers de la ville, vous verrez des bâtiments abandonnés. Pourquoi ne pas faire revivre ces bâtiments ? s'interroge-t-elle. Nous sommes une ville historique. La ville est vide partout. Personne ne vient s'y installer. Alors qui gagne de l'argent ? Le nombre de touristes venant à Malacca a considérablement baissé par rapport aux cinq dernières années. »Elle ne comprend pas la façon dont les travaux s'organisent. « Comme vous avez des yeux, vous pouvez voir tous ces bâtiments abandonnés. Dans un tel état, pourquoi creusent-ils encore ? Si vous voulez vraiment vous développer, il faut peupler et donc remplir d'abord les espaces vides. »Ce qui l'inquiète le plus, c'est la perte d'identité de sa ville natale. « Ce n'est plus Malacca. Maintenant, il y a des magasins chinois partout. Vous avez une rue où il y a une prédominance de personnes qui ne sont pas de votre pays. Qu'il y ait un quartier chinois, c'est très bien. Mais à présent, tout le monde ne parle que le mandarin. C'est l'une des choses dont je me suis rendue compte et qui a changé tout l'écosystème ici : c'est la langue. »L'économiste Liew Chee Yoong modère cependant les choses. Selon lui, blâmer uniquement les investisseurs chinois à Malacca n'est pas raisonnable. « Je pense que ces magasins vides et ces nombreux bâtiments sont davantage la conséquence de l'environnement économique du pays, ce qui n'est pas seulement le cas à Malacca, mais aussi ailleurs dans d'autres États de la Malaisie. »Aux yeux de Liew, cette responsabilité particulière incombe également au gouvernement de l'État de Malacca. Il ne s'agit pas seulement du côté chinois, mais de la manière dont l'ensemble du projet est mis en œuvre et des parties prenantes qui doivent communiquer en premier lieu, et il souligne que le gouvernement local aurait pu faire beaucoup mieux. « Je ne rejetterai donc pas la faute à 100 % sur les Chinois. Oui, ils pourraient avoir une part de responsabilité, mais je pense que le gouvernement de Malacca pourrait en réalité intervenir pour mieux gérer le projet dès les premières étapes. Avant que le projet ne commence, ils devraient mener une enquête auprès de toutes les parties prenantes concernées. »  Manque de transparenceLe quartier historique de la ville est devenu un quartier chinois. Tout est écrit en mandarin. D'innombrables lanternes rouges et jaunes décorent les immeubles et l'une des plus grandes attractions de la ville est le plus vieux temple bouddhiste de Cheng Hoon Teng, dans un pays majoritairement musulman. D'ailleurs, pour qui regarde sa géolocalisation sur son téléphone, il est inscrit Jīcháng jiē - Jonker Street - en caractères chinois. C'est là que nous rencontrons Lim, un ancien journaliste local doué d'une connaissance approfondie des projets chinois à Malacca. Comme Jane, il est effaré de la rapidité du développement de la ville sans planification appropriée. « Il n'y a pas beaucoup d'informations disponibles publiquement, déplore-t-il. Ils ne divulguent pas vraiment ce qu'ils font. Ils disent qu'il s'agit d'un port en eau profonde, entièrement géré par une société chinoise, la China Communications Construction Company (CCCC). »  « Qui est donc aussi impliqué ? Qui bénéficie des contrats ? Nous devrions avoir plus d'informations à ce sujet, poursuit Lim. Il n'y a pas de transparence. Nous disposons d'informations, mais très limitées. Beaucoup de choses ne sont pas encore terminées. Et certains chantiers sont simplement bloqués, arrêtés à mi-chemin. Par ailleurs, les locaux, quelle que soit l'ampleur des investissements, sont confrontés aux problèmes liés au coût de la vie : si vous n'augmentez pas les salaires pour qu'ils atteignent un niveau adéquat, vous ne pourrez pas bénéficier des projets. Or le coût de la vie a augmenté, mais pas les salaires. À Malacca, le niveau de vie est encore très bas. » La crainte de Lim : et si les choses tournaient mal pour l'économie malaisienne ? « Le Sri Lanka est le meilleur exemple de la façon dont les choses peuvent mal tourner si vous ne contrôlez pas vos infrastructures essentielles, compare-t-il. Ils construisent un port en eau profonde ici. Que se passera-t-il si nous suivons la voie du Sri Lanka ? Pouvons-nous vraiment rembourser si les choses tournent mal ? Nous ne voulons pas suivre la voie du Sri Lanka. Et je pense qu'il n'est pas le seul. Le Pakistan a également des problèmes, l'Afghanistan, et quelques autres pays d'Asie centrale, ont déjà des difficultés à rembourser la Chine. »Cependant, souligne Lim, le ton a changé depuis une dizaine d'années. « La Chine est dure en affaires. La situation était très différente sous Hu Jintao, les choses ont changé lorsque Xi Jinping est arrivé au pouvoir. Xi s'enhardit maintenant parce qu'il a un contrôle absolu. Sous le règne de Hu Jintao, tout était encore négociable, mais sous Xi Jinping, les choses sont très, très opaques. On ne sait pas ce qu'il va faire. Qui sait, il pourrait même retirer ses investissements. »La question de l'absence de transparence revient souvent. Ce qui, selon l'économiste Liew Chee Yoong, témoigne d'une différence culturelle. « Si vous faites des affaires en Chine, et pas seulement dans le cadre des "nouvelles routes de la soie", les Chinois ont tendance à se concentrer davantage sur l'établissement de relations pour commercer. Et, en Chine, les règles ne sont pas non plus très claires. C'est pour cela que ces questions de transparence sont soulevées, ce que je ne conteste pas, je pense que c'est en partie vrai. Mais si vous ne pouvez pas rembourser le prêt, vous ne devriez pas le contracter en premier lieu. Je ne pense pas qu'il faille rejeter la responsabilité à 200 % sur la Chine elle-même. Je pense que les pays concernés doivent gérer correctement leurs finances avant de s'engager. Un pays doit s'engager quand il est prêt, c'est la meilleure stratégie. Mais bien sûr, nous ne pouvons pas attendre trop longtemps, parce que nous avons besoin de compétitivité économique. » Craintes pour le patrimoineDans le quartier portugais de la ville, nous retrouvons Martin Theseira, ancien pêcheur qui lutte contre l'appropriation de ses terres par les investisseurs chinois. Amoureux de la mer, il nous explique que les îles que nous apercevons dans le port sont artificielles, qu'elles ont été créées de toutes pièces, en peu de temps, avec du sable et de la végétation, en attendant d'y voir de nouveaux complexes de loisirs pousser…Ces îlots qui détruisent son horizon lui laissent un goût amer. « Ce qui motive des projets comme ça, c'est l'avidité pure et simple, pointe-t-il entre ses dents. Les autorités sont irresponsables d'autoriser de telles constructions parce que, premièrement, ce n'est pas durable. Les dommages causés à l'environnement et à la communauté côtière sont irréversibles. Les biologistes marins nous disent qu'il s'agit d'une diversité marine unique. Notre communauté est affectée car notre mode de vie dépend de la mer. Pour nous, la mer est notre bouée de sauvetage. En réalité, nous nous battons depuis le premier jour et nous sommes toujours dans la même situation. Il n'y a pas d'amélioration réelle parce qu'il n'y a pas d'engagement sérieux. »Sa grande crainte est la disparition de sa communauté, de son patrimoine et de son héritage. « Je pense que tout disparaîtra dans les dix à vingt prochaines années. Pouvez-vous compenser la perte de l'accès à la mer pour la communauté ?  Vous ne pouvez pas. On ne peut pas la remplacer. Aucune somme d'argent ne peut remplacer la disparition de ressources pour la communauté. L'argent n'est pas une compensation qui peut tout régler. »Les changements sont perceptibles ailleurs, souligne Martin, ce qui appuie son argument. « Nous constatons les changements dans la région, les tensions avec les États-Unis. Les Chinois se montrent très audacieux en mer de Chine méridionale. Mais que pouvons-nous vraiment faire ? Ce sont des superpuissances qui sont en train de montrer leurs muscles. » L'économiste Liew Chee Yoong souligne cependant que la compétition économique, quelle qu'elle soit, n'est pas une mauvaise chose. « Si l'on parle de commerce économique, d'expansion vers d'autres pays, il s'agit plutôt pour la Chine de montrer son soft power au reste du monde. Ce n'est pas une mauvaise dynamique. Nous-mêmes essayons de nous engager économiquement avec d'autres parties du monde, mais la Chine l'a fait plus tôt que d'autres. Si vous regardez les pays d'Afrique, vous verrez qu'ils ont beaucoup bénéficié des investissements de la Chine sur le continent. Au fil des années, les Chinois se sont développés au Kenya, au Nigeria ou en Tanzanie. La Chine aide d'autres pays à se développer économiquement, et l'Europe et les États-Unis peuvent aussi le faire, il n'y a rien de mal à cela. »Personne en Malaisie n'ignore la compétition économique mondiale qui se joue ici entre la Chine et les États-Unis. Face au projet tentaculaire des « nouvelles routes de la soie » qui dispose d'importantes réserves de liquidités, les États-Unis ont lancé leur pilier asiatique. Dans l'Indo-Pacifique, Washington multiplie les partenariats économiques avec des dizaines de pays, dont la Malaisie.À lire aussiRetrouvez l'intégralité de notre dossier sur les «nouvelles routes de la soie»

On this encore episode of the Passive Income Attorney Podcast, Seth is joined by Ken Van Liew as they talk about how you can stack, scale and supercharge your investment returns! Ken has built Manhattan skyscrapers, studied under Tony Robbins, and has been responsible for over a billion dollars of commercial real estate construction across dozens of projects that have forever changed the New York City skyline. Learn how you can put your money to work for you, rather than the other way around. Enjoy the episode!   “If you want to create any type of process mastery, you have to mirror and model, but if you don't set a basis for measuring, you're not going to get the result that you want.”   HIGHLIGHTS: Here's a breakdown of what to expect in this episode: How Ken got into building Manhattan skyscrapers, the “apex” of commercial development How to transition from W2 engineer to having your own projects Why motivation and productivity are the keys to achieve long term success Why work-life balance is completely unachievable Discover the Modern Wealth Building Formula Ken's hot takes on the hottest investments in today's and tomorrow's market And so much more!   ABOUT | KEN VAN LIEW: Ken Van Liew started his professional career with a civil design engineering job, twins, and two master's degrees, underpinned with a six-figure debt and a burning desire to serve others. Ten years later, he cut the ribbon on the development of a 17-million-dollar, 72,000 square feet, 113-bed assisted living facility. He parlayed this success into a Staten Island waterfront development and began a mastery journey with Tony Robbins. Unfortunately, while attending a Tony Robbins event in Hawaii, his waterfront development was terminated due to the World Trade Center tragedies. This moment gave Ken time to reflect on where he was, where he wanted to be, and the impact he wanted to have. Alongside the syndication and development of over a billion dollars of high-profile real estate investments, Ken created the Modern Wealth Building Formula as the fastest track to building wealth – a project that has empowered thousands of developers over the last 20 years. Simply put, Ken is a titan in the world of real estate responsible for over a billion dollars of construction across dozens of projects and has forever changed the New York skyline. In addition, Ken regularly speaks on stages, including NYU Real Estate Institute and the College of Engineering at Rutgers University, and is a best-selling author. Ken is an unsung hero in the world of stage magic, has been married for over 30 years, and is the proud father of three talented and successful children.   FIND | KEN VAN LIEW: Free 45-min Strategy Session: https://strategic.kenvanliew.com/ Free Book: https://my.kenvanliew.com/freebook Website: www.kenvanliew.com   CONNECT | SETH BRADLEY: Get Started | Download The Freedom Blueprint: http://www.attorneybydesign.com Subscribe and Leave a Rating and Review: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-passive-income-attorney-podcast/id1543049208 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5a0Qp9G2x337nZCDWoVgoO?si=MKn01_t8Tfu0JBZCnagrCw Join EPIC | The Esquire Passive Investor Club: https://passiveincomeattorney.com/join-the-passive-income/ Join | The Passive Income Attorneys Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/passiveincomeattorneys Follow Us: Website:  https://passiveincomeattorney.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sethpaulbradley/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/passiveincomeattorney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/passiveincomeattorney/
