  • History Timeline from 13.7 Billion Years Ago to August 2013. 1 of 588 Pages This PDF History Timeline Has Been Extracted
    History Timeline from 13.7 Billion Years ago to August 2013. 1 of 588 pages This PDF History Timeline has been extracted from the History World web site's time line. The PDF is a very simplified version of the History World timeline. The PDF is stripped of all the links found on that timeline. If an entry attracts your interest and you want further detail, click on the link at the foot of each of the PDF pages and query the subject or the PDF entry on the web site, or simply do an internet search. When I saw the History World timeline I wanted a copy of it for myself and my family in a form that we could access off-line, on demand, on the device of our choice. This PDF is the result. What attracted me particularly about the History World timeline is that each event, which might be earth shattering in itself with a wealth of detail sufficient to write volumes on, and indeed many such events have had volumes written on them, is presented as a sort of pared down news head-line. Basic unadorned fact. Also, the History World timeline is multi-faceted. Most historic works focus on their own area of interest and ignore seemingly unrelated events, but this timeline offers glimpses of cross-sections of history for any given time, embracing art, politics, war, nations, religions, cultures and science, just to mention a few elements covered. The view is fascinating. Then there is always the question of what should be included and what excluded.

Turner Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Thesis Supervisor Accepted by . Christopher Terman Chairman, Masters of Engineering Thesis Committee 2 Mobility of the Future: Typologizing Global Cities for the Simulation of Future Urban Mobility Patterns and Energy Scenarios by Sean Hua Submitted to the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on August 11, 2017, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Abstract The MITEI-sponsored Mobility of the Future project sets out to create a viable framework for analyses and predictions of urban transportation behavior in response to inevitable changes such as improved vehicle technologies, emergence of novel transit services, and policy changes motivated by population growth and emission control. In order to feasibly simulate these scenarios on a global scale, we need to first determine a few prototypical cities that best represent the entire world, each exhibiting qualities that encompass the group to which it belongs. Our methodology for accomplishing this is centered around machine learning. After collecting and pruning relevant, up- to-date data, we perform dimension reduction and clustering to ultimately generate appropriate prototype cities.

  • Viennadeclaration
    V I E N N A D E C L A R A T I O N by the Mayors of the EU Capital Cities - “A strong voice in Europe” 21 April 2015 Introduction Europe is a continent of cities. Cities constitute a major pillar supporting the concept of a united Europe. EU policies shape the lives and everyday experience of the people in Europe; they also shape the economy and the innovative power of major cities in Europe. Our populations are European and international, and cities are a powerful force for promoting integration of peoples from Europe and around the world. Our solutions for living together are diverse as the framework conditions are different in every country and city. Thoroughly considered, consistent and committed decisions and actions are taken day by day in the cities of Europe to protect and enhance social and gender equity, sustainable economic growth and the future of democracy in Europe. European cities work every day to create truly democratic and inclusive societies. European cities are development test beds. Social and economic developments originate in cities. We, the Mayors of the EU Capital Cities are therefore convinced that the European Union must focus even more strongly on the urban dimension. I. Urban agenda: systematic involvement of cities in EU policies We, the Mayors of the EU Capital Cities, are strategic partners in shaping the European Union´s future regional and urban policy. Our joint goal is an Urban Agenda stipulating an urban dimension in all relevant EU decision-making processes. Cities should therefore be involved in the entire policy making process.

The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

  • Introducing the “15-Minute City”: Sustainability, Resilience and Place Identity in Future Post-Pandemic Cities
    smart cities Perspective Introducing the “15-Minute City”: Sustainability, Resilience and Place Identity in Future Post-Pandemic Cities Carlos Moreno, Zaheer Allam *, Didier Chabaud, Catherine Gall and Florent Pratlong Chaire Entrepreneuriat Territoire Innovation (ETI), Groupe de Recherche en Gestion des Organisations (GREGOR), IAE Paris—Sorbonne Business School, Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, 75013 Paris, France; [email protected] (C.M.); [email protected] (D.C.); [email protected] (C.G.); [email protected] (F.P.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The socio-economic impacts on cities during the COVID-19 pandemic have been brutal, leading to increasing inequalities and record numbers of unemployment around the world. While cities endure lockdowns in order to ensure decent levels of health, the challenges linked to the unfolding of the pandemic have led to the need for a radical re-think of the city, leading to the re-emergence of a concept, initially proposed in 2016 by Carlos Moreno: the “15-Minute City”. The concept, offering a novel perspective of “chrono-urbanism”, adds to existing thematic of Smart Cities and the rhetoric of building more humane urban fabrics, outlined by Christopher Alexander, and that of building safer, more resilient, sustainable and inclusive cities, as depicted in the Sustainable Development Goal 11 of the United Nations. With the concept gaining ground in popular media and its subsequent adoption at policy level in a number of cities of varying scale and geographies, the present paper sets forth to introduce the concept, its origins, intent and future directions.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE C40 Office in Copenhagen to Connect Cities and Businesses to Tackle Climate Change C40 – the world’s leading climate network for megacities – opens a permanent CONTACT base in Copenhagen today. [email protected] New base will create closer collaboration between cities and the private sector to speed up transition to low-carbon economies 06th Feb 2017 – Copenhagen: The Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen, today officially opened C40’s permanent office in the city. Drawing on the unique expertise in sustainable urban development found in Copenhagen, the new C40 office will serve as a centre for the network’s global Business, Economy and Innovation Programme. By supporting greater cooperation between C40 cities and the private sector they will help to overcome one of the major barriers to mayors delivering on their ambitious climate change agendas. "Copenhagen has one of the world's most ambitious climate plans and is on track to reduce CO2 emissions to zero by 2025,” said Simon Hansen, Head of C40 Copenhagen office. “There are great opportunities for C40 in opening an office in Copenhagen to draw on the knowledge here. The city has created a wide range of green solutions in urban planning, energy, cycling infrastructure and much more, which cities all over the world want to learn from." Mayor Frank Jensen serves as vice-chair of the C40 network, representing the 16 innovator cities within the network on the organisation’s Steering Committee. Copenhagen is amongst the most active cities within C40 and leads their green growth network. "That C40, as the world’s leading climate network for megacities, is opting to set up a base in the city is official recognition of Copenhagen’s position as a green leader,” said Frank Jensen, Lord Mayor of Copenhagen.
