Part of the confusion is the lack of clarity about the role and delivery of city infrastructures and its relationship to livelihood and livability.

  • Extracting Value from Municipal Solid Waste for Greener Cities: the Case of the Republic of Korea
    KNOWLEDGE NOTE SERIES 04 EXTRACTING VALUE FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE FOR GREENER CITIES: THE CASE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOREA EIKO WATAYA WB, FAROUK MOLLAH BANNA WB, INHYE BAK WB, DR. JAEMIN SONG UNIVERSITY OF SEOUL, SANG HYUN YOON SUDOKWON LANDFILL SITE MANAGEMENT CORP., AND DR. SORA YI KOREA ENVIRONMENT INSTITUTE1 INTRODUCTION Municipal solid waste is discarded material that originates mostly from human activities in urban areas. It is well documented that improperly disposed of solid waste can negatively impact human health and the environment. For example, uncollected solid waste is one of the leading causes of flooding in slums, which claims thousands of human lives worldwide every year. Uncollected municipal solid waste can also affect other key sectors, such as tourism, hindering a country’s economic growth. The irony is that much of this waste could be reclaimed as renewable resources and help alleviate raw material and energy shortages in a cost- effective manner. To make municipal solid waste a usable resource, recycling must be encouraged, and ideally collected and separated at the source. Such a shift requires an integrated approach to policy creation that includes governance structures, technologies, investments, and citizen engagement— often challenging in fast-growing urban centers witnessing population growth, rapid urbanization, economic development, changes in human consumption, technology development, and more. As countries urbanize and 1 This paper has benefited from the peer review and input of Silpa Kaza (Urban Specialist/World Bank) and David Lerpiniere (Consultant/World Bank). grow economically, the level of waste generation per capita increases. The complexity of the waste stream typically also increases as the proportion of plastics, electronics, and hazardous waste grows and the share of biodegradable materials decreases.

  • Data for the Public Good
    Data for the public good NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE COMMISSION National Infrastructure Commission report | Data for the public good Foreword Advances in technology have always transformed our lives and indeed whole industries such as banking and retail. In the same way, sensors, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and machine learning can transform the way we use and manage our national infrastructure. Government could spend less, whilst delivering benefits to the consumer: lower bills, improved travel times, and reduced disruption from congestion or maintenance work. The more information we have about the nation’s infrastructure, the better we can understand it. Therefore, data is crucial. Data can improve how our infrastructure is built, managed, and eventually decommissioned, and real-time data can inform how our infrastructure is operated on a second-to-second basis. However, collecting data alone will not improve the nation’s infrastructure. The key is to collect high quality data and use it effectively. One path is to set standards for the format of data, enabling high quality data to be easily shared and understood; much that we take for granted today is only possible because of agreed standards, such as bar codes on merchandise which have enabled the automation of checkout systems. Sharing data can catalyse innovation and improve services. Transport for London (TfL) has made information on London’s transport network available to the public, paving the way for the development of apps like Citymapper, which helps people get about the city safely and expediently. But it is important that when information on national infrastructure is shared, this happens with the appropriate security and privacy arrangements.

  • Outlet Centres in Europe
    MARKET SURVEY March 2021 Outlet Centres in Europe Market Survey covering all operating and planned Outlet Centres in the European Countries Study within the Scope of ecostra’s Basic Research understanding markets | evaluating risks | discovering chances Preliminary remarks Beginning in the USA and, over the past 25 years, subsequently spreading in Europe as well, a new retail format has been established: the Factory Outlet Centre (FOC) or Designer Outlet Centre (DOC). In the meantime, such a high density of Outlet Centres already exists in some European countries (e.g. Great Britain), that one can certainly speak of market saturation here. Thus, in Great Britain, as in the USA also, a market shakeout is observable among locations of Outlet Centres, whereby the most professional operators, and accordingly suitable locations, win out over less productive concepts or locations with weaknesses. The situation in continental Europe is somehow different. Due what are, to date, extremely restrictive building permission procedures compared to those in the rest of Europe, Germany has only a very few Outlet Centres in relation to the size of this national market. However, there is little doubt that this will change in the medium-term perspective, at least. The kind of emotional argument that often used to take place until just a few years ago has now given way to a much more factual discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of establishing an Outlet Centre. Whereas Germany still shows a lot of potential for new Outlet Centres, Italy has seen a rapid development in the last years, and it’s difficult to discover any “white spots” on the map there.
