Podcasts about Sprawl

With the ballots finally counted and the results official, Alberta's 2025 municipal election cycle is one for the books. New regulations brought in by the provincial government for voters casting ballots for mayor, councillor and school trustee saw a requirement for a new attestation form, a ban on electronic tabulators in favour of hand counting, and the addition of political parties to Calgary and Edmonton. This week on West of Centre, host Kathleen Petty is joined by journalist and editor of The Sprawl, Jeremy Klaszus; Edmonton Journal civic affairs columnist Keith Gerein; and Mount Royal University political science professor Lori Williams. With the elections in many cities and towns hampered by long lines and slow processing times, the panel suggests some of the changes amount to a real problem for democracy.Host: Kathleen Petty | Producer & editor: Diane Yanko | Guests: Jeremy Klaszus, Keith Gerein, Lori Williams

This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, sits down with one of Louisville's legendary sustainability advocates, Jackie Green, to discuss his new venture, Earth Home 40202 (https://www.bikecourier.org/earth-home-40202/) Get in touch at earth.home.40202@gmail.com. We also discuss Deep Ecology Louisville - Exploring what it means to 'Live Local Lightly' in a society that is diametrically opposed to the concept (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581836699217). Earth Home 40202 is an urban* Louisville space in which to grow non-mystical deep ecologists. Building environmentally sustainable lifestyles requires community – it takes a village. Mainstream Louisville does not embrace ‘Live Local** Lightly'. Most are unaware of the term ‘deep ecology' (see addendum below). Most are unaware of the term 'embodied energy' – https://www.bikecourier.org/embodied-energy/. Few who know the term are ready to live a minimalist lifestyle. No, this is not the effort of communist luddites, not a commune, not a cult, just citizens attempting to live lightly on Earth. Earth Home 40202 is citizens striving to minimize material and energy*** consumption, to identify ‘green washing', to garden**** more, to create more environmentally sensitive communities, to joyfully live Earth-centric lives. Earth Home 40202 is a work in progress. The concept has yet to be fully defined. Earth Home 40202 will be piloted in two Highland homes. Success will result in reduplicating the effort in a larger downtown space. Continued success will result in more Earth Homes. We need people to help define and develop the concept. * ? Why ‘urban'? If nature is to endure, humanity must not encroach on natural spaces. Sprawl is destroying agricultural land and nature. Urban living also encourages walking, cycling and public transit use. The embodied energy of automobiles and all the infrastructure supporting automobiles is unsustainable. ** ? Why the ‘local' in ‘Live Local Lightly'? Travel is:… energy intensive, infrastructure demanding, deprives local community of members' focus, investment, and care; hastens the evolution of climate change to climate chaos. Our personal travel experiences are not that important. We are needed at home. *** ? What is current energy production? One house hosts 16 solar panels. We have an option on using a property near UofL with 30 solar panels (8.5kW, 11,500kWh/yr, 2025 inverter). **** ? What gardening is done now? Current gardening includes a dozen grape vines, apple, cherry, peach and fig trees, a small vegetable plot, and a 25′ x 100′ micro forest. Deep ecology is an environmental philosophy and movement, founded by Arne Naess in the 1970s, that argues for the inherent worth and intrinsic value of all living beings and ecosystems, not just their utility to humans. It promotes a holistic worldview where humans are seen as an integral part of nature and emphasizes a radical transformation of our societal structures, technologies, and lifestyles to reduce human impact and allow the richness and diversity of life to flourish.

Mayoral candidates are bickering about which arena deal was best and who got fleeced. The Sprawl dug into how the $1.2B deal for Scotia Place—which has city hall putting up $853 million—got approved by council with no public debate. (Most of this episode originally aired in 2023.)

BONUS Episode Alert! This week we're doing a pod swap and sharing an episode from our friends at the On Land podcast.The conversation features Ken Mirr, founder of Mirr Ranch Group, discussing how rapid development and sprawl are reshaping the American West. While 35-acre subdivisions and ranchettes may seem like a dream to some, they can also fragment wildlife habitat, working lands, and rural communities. This episode dives into what's driving that growth, the impacts on landowners and local economies, and potential solutions to balance property rights, conservation, and community needs. On Land is produced by the Western Landowners Alliance, an organization dedicated to keeping working lands whole and healthy for the benefit of people and wildlife.Need professional help finding, buying or selling a legacy ranch, contact us: Mirr Ranch Group 901 Acoma Street Denver, CO 80204 Phone: (303) 623-4545 https://www.MirrRanchGroup.com/

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the technology services landscape, with leading reports from IDC, Gartner, and new offerings from ServiceNow pointing to a future where managing AI sprawl becomes as critical as delivering AI capabilities themselves. High-performing channel partners are leaning into AI specialization, driving measurable outcomes for customers and fueling double-digit growth despite market pressures. At the same time, ServiceNow's “AI Experience” platform aims to consolidate fragmented AI tools, offering a unified interface that can streamline operations and reduce complexity. The broader market, according to Gartner, is accelerating rapidly, with spending on generative AI projected to surpass traditional software in the coming years—meaning providers who fail to deliver outcomes risk being left behind.Yet the rise of AI isn't all progress. Studies from Stanford, European labor groups, and cybersecurity organizations reveal a governance crisis brewing in workplaces. Workers are reporting a surge of “workslop”—AI-generated content that looks like productivity but creates no value—costing companies billions. Algorithmic management is eroding worker autonomy, while surveillance and data risks undermine trust in employers. To compound the problem, employees are increasingly feeding sensitive data into AI systems without adequate training, raising new security vulnerabilities. These trends highlight the urgent need for policies, training, and governance frameworks to ensure AI adds value instead of chaos.The disruption is also spilling into specific industries. In translation, human professionals are already being displaced as AI-driven tools gain adoption. WhatsApp's newly built-in translation capability demonstrates how “good enough” AI can be enough for most users, sidelining human expertise except in fields requiring deep cultural or contextual understanding. The translation sector serves as an early warning sign: as AI grows more capable, other professions—including legal research, finance, and customer support—face similar pressures. The lesson for providers is to help clients identify where AI is appropriate and where human oversight remains essential.Meanwhile, major vendors are steadily encroaching into IT services, redrawing the lines of what MSPs can offer. Acronis is embedding patch management into its backup suite, Slack is introducing AI-powered ticket deflection, GoTo and Nexthink are fusing support and analytics, and IBM is shifting developer tooling to its hosted cloud. Each move chips away at traditional MSP offerings, putting pressure on providers to adapt. The opportunity lies in integration and governance—helping customers unify fragmented tools, ensure compliance, and deliver outcomes that vendors alone cannot. For MSPs, the message is clear: evolve toward higher-value services, or risk being sidelined by the very vendors you once partnered with.Four things to know today00:00 From Growth to Governance: IDC, Gartner, and ServiceNow Show Where AI Is Headed for Partners and Customers05:07 AI at Work: “Workslop,” Surveillance, and Data Leaks Signal Rising Governance Crisis08:42 From WhatsApp to Workflows: AI Translation Disruption Signals Broader Job Shifts Ahead11:33 Vendors Expand Into IT Services: Acronis, Slack, IBM, and GoTo Redraw the MSP Value Line This is the Business of Tech.   Supported by: https://scalepad.com/dave/https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship Webinar:  https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

The American West is changing fast, and one of the biggest forces shaping that change is development. Sprawl - those 35-acre subdivisions and ranchettes you see spreading across the landscape - can mean paradise for some, and the unraveling of communities, wildlife habitat and productive landscapes for others.  Today we're talking about what's driving that growth, what it means for landowners and rural economies and what kinds of solutions might help us strike a balance between private property rights, conservation and community needs.   On the show today, our CEO Lesli Allison sits down with Ken Mirr, founder of Mirr Ranch Group and longtime land broker who has worked at the intersection of ranching, conservation and real estate for decades.  Show notes: https://onland.link/podcast

Cryptographic assets, including encryption keys, certificates, and tokens, are a critical layer of modern cybersecurity. These tools are essential for securing data, authenticating users, and enabling trust. But without proper oversight and management, they can become fragmented, hard to track, and even harder to manage. In this episode, experts Greg Wetmore and Samantha Mabey offer insights on how to best approach cryptography management, navigate operational complexities, and master your cryptographic sprawl to become quantum ready.

Tom Uren and Amberleigh Jack talk about the Salesloft Drift incident. It is a great example of the sprawling impact that the breach of a single service provider can have. We expect these single-compromise-large-blast-radius attacks will become the new norm. They also talk about Apple's Memory Integrity Enforcement, which promises to be a big step forward for memory safety on Apple devices. This episode is also available on Youtube. Show notes

Kamal is co-founder and CTO at Andromeda, which is building an identity management solution to help companies better understand their identity footprint and manage excessive permissions across disparate platforms. Kamal uses the term "digital incarnation" which resonated with me given the number of accounts a single human may have across different platforms. Kamal worked as an engineer and engineering leader for two decades across Oracle, Ebay, and Paypal before starting Andromeda in 2023. In the episode, we start by discussing his experience working as an offshore developer in India and how that influences his own perspective on leveraging offshore teams today. We also cover the cultural differences at eBay and Paypal, how that influenced his security mindset, the origin story of Andromeda, and the future of identity.

Demand for walkable urbanism is stronger than ever, according to Mallory Baches, president of the Congress for the New Urbanism, an organization that has been promoting compact, mixed-use, transit-oriented development for more than three decades.

On the surface, sprawl seems like an easy answer to the housing crisis. It fits with the mechanisms we have in place today, and it aligns with the lived experiences and political will of most Americans. But the reality of our housing crisis is more nuanced, and it's bigger than sprawl: The problem is the current way we develop, whether that's inside cities or on the fringes. Chuck explains why in this episode of the Strong Towns Podcast. ADDITIONAL SHOW NOTES Learn how to beat the housing crisis the right way.

Hello hello there everybody, and welcome back to another episode of Surviving the Horror. This month, Josh and Colin are joined by resident lore expert for all things Dead Space, Kevin from the PlayStation Plus Game Club! Kevin is a massive fan of the Dead Space series in general, and after recording the episode last July on Dead Space Remake, it didn't feel right to venture further into the series without his input. The result is that the three of us had an over three hour discussion, breaking down all the important details, subtle audio notes, and larger mechanical trends that are present in Dead Space 2. Dead Space 2 released in January 2011 as the highly anticipated follow up to Visceral's Dead Space. The game sees the continuation of Isaac Clarke's journey following the catastrophic tragedy aboard the Ishimura. From the very beginning of Dead Space 2, Isaac, as well as the player, are thrust into chaos and the unknown as another Necromorph outbreak has seemingly begun aboard The Sprawl, a massive station orbiting the once moon of Saturn, Titan. Due to the size and scope of The Sprawl compared with the Ishimura, everything in Dead Space 2 is cranked up to eleven. The mystery, the action, the set pieces, and indeed the lore are all expanded upon greatly. Just why is Isaac in a straight jacket upon waking up? What are the four steps to run "the machine" that your companion Stross keeps talking about? Can you truly trust anyone associated with Earth Gov. or The Church of Unitology? Only through quick wits, persistence, and a butt load of ammo will you get the answers. We truly hope that you enjoy this episode, and a special thank you to Kevin for being a part of the show! Next month on Surviving the Horror will be joined by none other than the GreenGorillaGamer to discuss the first entry in the FNAF series. It's going to be a wild ride. Until then take care everyone!

Free episode might be a little late this week, so we're unlocking our Patreon episode from Monday, featuring our old pal Kate Wagner, author of the blog McMansion Hell. Our conversation covers a lot of ground: the Pope, the modern conservative movement's relationship to Catholicism, whether or not the bourgeoisie might be giving up on their own project, the so-called "Abundance" agenda, urban sprawl, and much more.
