Are you interested urban mining? Summary of the article titled Potential and relevance of urban mining in the context of sustainable cities from 2017, by Rachna Arora, Katharina Paterok, Abhijit Banerjee, and Manjeet Singh Saluja, published in the IIMB Management Review journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Don Weatherbee in episode 316 talking about urban mining and the differences between recycling, reuse and regeneration. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the urban mining concept for better urban futures. This article introduces urban mining, the waste streams it can utilise, and some city planning initiatives utilising this concept.Find the article through this link.Abstract: The objective of urban mining is the safeguarding of the environment and the promotion of resource conservation through reuse, recycling, and recovery of secondary resources from waste. Urban mining maximises the resource and economic value of the waste streams generated in urban spaces and will be a significant concept in the planning and designing of sustainable cities, making the process consistent with the sustainable development goals. This review article brings out comprehensive information on urban mining as a concept and its relevance to the Indian and international context as a source of secondary raw material.Connecting episodes you might be interested in: No.232 - Interview with Kate Skillington about urban mining No.265R - Regeneration towards suitabilityYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What was the most interesting part for you?

Every year, between May to September, the same images make the rounds. The national capital first sweats and then drowns with even a few millimetres of rain. The city that never sleeps braces water logging every year without fail. The silicon valley of India while facing traffic snarls the whole year dreads the monsoon months which make it worse.  Why is it that India's megacities crumble under the slightest variation in weather? Why are our national, financial capitals and metro cities not built to adapt to extreme weather conditions? Is it myopic city planning or unprecedented events?  As climate change related impacts intensify, cities have to prepare a long term plan to adapt to changing climatic conditions.  To discuss the same, we talked with Jaya Dhindaw, Executive Program Director, Sustainable Cities and Director, WRI India Ross Center. Jaya is an urban development professional and researcher with over two decades of global experience in sustainable development, urban resilience and natural resource management.  Jaya has in the past worked for the Centre for Infrastructure, Sustainable Transport and Urban Planning (CISTUP) at the Indian Institute of Science. She has also worked with the City of Charlotte for over 8 years, first with the transit system and then with the planning department.  Full transcript of the episode is available in English  Presented by 101Reporters Follow TIEH podcast on Twitter, Linkedin & YouTube Our hosts, Shreya Jai on Twitter, Linkedin & Dr. Sandeep Pai on Twitter, Linkedin Jaya Dhindaw is on Linkedin

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Shravan Kumar, Director of Client Success at Gramener, about the transformative role AI and geospatial data can play in tackling climate challenges. Shravan shared insights into how AI is being utilised to address urban heat islands, predict and mitigate the impacts of natural disasters like floods, and support cities in becoming more climate-resilient.We delved into real-world examples where Gramener's AI solutions have been successfully implemented in cities, helping local governments optimise resources, create thermally comfortable public spaces, and even adjust energy trading systems. Shravan also discussed the importance of partnerships and the challenges in scaling these solutions globally, particularly in regions with limited resources.One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the need for accurate, micro-level data to make informed decisions on climate action, as well as the critical role of education and trust in driving adoption of these AI tools.

Lynette Cheah's research group collaborates with psychologists, computer scientists and urban designers to develop smarter and more sustainable ways of city transportation. “We can't have sustainable cities without transforming the way people move and how goods are moved around,” says Cheah, an engineering systems researcher who is based at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia.Cheah outlines some challenges to meeting targets in the eleventh of 17 Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations in 2015 (making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable) by 2030. In part these rely on more cities using the data-driven and centrally-planned approach taken by Singapore, the south Asian city state in which she grew up and worked until recently, she argues.Informal transport options such as tuktuk rikshaws in Thailand and shared taxi matatus in Kenya, for example, can present a barrier to delivering smarter cities, but they also have advantages. She explains why.“I am very optimistic that good science and knowledge does exist to help us, you know, track the path towards sustainable urban development,” she says. “It'll take lots of work. It'll take public-private partnerships. It'll take some credible financing, lots of capacity building.”How to Save Humanity in 17 Goals is a podcast series that profiles scientists whose work addresses one or more of the SDGs.

This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, July 31, 2023, and this is Episode #30 of Series 2023. This episode is titled "Is Daniel 9: 27 About to Be Fulfilled?" Bible prophecy is being fulfilled at astounding speed right before our very eyes. In this week's message, I would like to bring to your attention the significance from a prophetic standpoint of the upcoming United Nations Summit meeting to be held in New York City on September 18-19 of this year. Please check all sources cited at the end of this post. (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/blog/category/sustainable-development-summit/) First, a little background. Back in 2015, UN member nations signed an agreement to implement 17 Sustainable Development Goals, also known as SDGs, as part of their agenda to control the world. Of course, the UN did not say that the ultimate purpose of this agenda was to control the world. Instead, they called the agenda a (quote) "Agenda for Sustainable Development" (end of quote). Its express purpose was to implement 17 goals that the UN thinks will make this world a much better place for everyone. Following are the 17 goals: Goal #1: No poverty. Goal #2: Zero Hunger Goal #3: Good Health & Well-Being Goal #4: Quality Education Goal #5: Gender Equality Goal #6: Clean Water & Sanitation Goal #7: Affordable & Clean Energy Goal #8: Decent Work & Economic Growth Goal #9: Industry, Innovation, & Infrastructure Goal #10: Reduced Inequalities Goal #11: Sustainable Cities & Communities Goal #12: Responsible Consumption & Production Goal #13: Climate Action Goal #14: Life below Water Goal #15: Life on Land Goal #16: Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions Goal #17: Partnerships This all sounds very good, but in truth, it is a coverup for the real agenda which is to depopulate the world and to subjugate humanity under a one-world government called 'the New World Order." This UN agreement signed back in 2015 launched a 15-year plan for achieving their 17 goals to make the world more "sustainable."  Here is a statement about these 17 SDGs taken directly from the United Nations website. And I quote: "The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice. The 17 Goals are all interconnected, and in order to leave no one behind, it is important that we achieve them all by 2030." (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/) As time went by, the name of the UN Agenda became Agenda 2030. In other words, as mentioned in its official statement, the United Nations determined to achieve its 17 sustainable goals by the year 2030. Well, progress on the goals has fallen far below what the UN had hoped to achieve by this point. So, UN Secretary Antònio Guterres recently sent out a special edition report to the member nations urging them to reconfirm their original agreement for another seven years in order to speed up the process. I quote now from his report: "First, I [Antònio Guterres] urge Heads of State and Government to recommit to seven years of accelerated, sustained and transformative action,

Through the lens of Los Angeles, Alán discusses the value of public transportation - how it's currently organized, and the opportunity to massively rethink it. We learn about redlining, and how it has continued to impact communities despite no longer being formally enforced by government. We also discuss green spaces, food deserts, and successful community engagement. We close with our reflections on what it means to be a truly sustainable community. Alán Sneider earned a graduate certificate in Sustainable Cities and Communities from Harvard Extension School. He earned his M.S. in Sustainability Management from Columbia University. Alán also earned his undergraduate degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in real estate from the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business.

Next year, 100 Thousand Million aims to start building the world's first truly sustainable city in northern Chile, and several countries are keen to see the next project's on their soil, said founders Alberto Scherb and Jaime Alvarez.“In the short term, our vision or mission is to create a lifestyle that is truly human-centred, nature-focused, and of course, sustainable,” Scherb said. “So in a matter of two or three generations, people won't have to have conversations like the ones we have today: How do we become sustainable? What it is to be sustainable? What's the 1.5 lifestyle?” Learn more about:How the first sustainable city is being bornWhat are the next countries after Chile?Process of permits and studies to build a town from scratchRole of web3 in building a new townWhere will the people come from?“The critical aspect of building the city is not building the city, but building the community.
