  • Anti-Discrimination Education: We Shall Not Give Up! Advocacy in Times
    Anti-discrimination education: We shall not give up! Advocacy in times of rise of hateful rhetoric, shrinking civic space and erosion of democratic standards in Poland October 2019 1 Executive summary This report is addressed to civil society activists, decision makers in international institutions and funders interested in supporting advocacy for the anti-discrimination education in the context of shrinking civic space and political backlash. It presents key findings from the research conducted by The Anti-Discrimination Education Society (TEA) on the space for education-focused and rights- based advocacy after the right-wing conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS) took power in Poland in the general elections of 2015. Since that time, Poland has seen systematic and strategic efforts to undermine human rights and the rule of law, introduction of regressive laws and policy measures to reinforce traditional gender roles, scapegoating migrants, refugees and LGBTQI communities, and a rising tide of hate and discrimination. Consequently, the civic space for human rights activists and anti-discrimination educators has drastically shrunken and the rights they promote and uphold are under concerted attack. The Law and Justice Party’s rule has provoked a rise of a massive opposition in the streets, whilst civil society advocates have started exploring and/or developing new strategies and new approaches. For example: • Advocacy at a local level with local governments, which are in opposition to the Law and Justice Party and state their support

  • Raster Based GIS for Urban Management: a Low-Cost Solution for Developing Countries – Case Study: Analysis of the City of Warsaw
    Rolf Schuett, Raster based GIS: a Low-Cost Solution for Developing Countries, 44th ISOCARP Congress 2008 Raster based GIS for Urban Management: a Low-Cost Solution for Developing Countries – Case study: Analysis of the city of Warsaw 1 Background Previously to this study, the author developed a medium scale analysis and a tool with similar technical features in Glasgow, Scotland, focusing on the regeneration of the Glasgow canals (R. Schuett 1, 2007). The study in Glasgow opened the idea to increase the scale of both study area and spatial data range because it delivered fairly consistent results compared to previous studies (British Waterways Scotland and Glasgow City Council 2, 2003) Among the strengths of the study in Glasgow are the facts that results were made available in a relatively short time and to a very low cost, given the fact that all information was either provided free of charge by the stakeholders (15%), downloaded from public institutions websites (70%) or collected or generated on site (15%). For the present case study, there are various aspects about this site that make it opportune and interesting to develop a similar analysis in Warsaw. Since the fall of the Berlin wall and the political transition of Poland, but especially since Poland’s membership in the European Union, Warsaw is experimenting major transformations in all sectors, from district regenerations (for example in Srodmiescie and Praga Poludnie), through major infrastructure (Metro line, new bridges and motorway circuit around the city, the suburban railway EKD, the new Frédéric Chopin Airport terminal, etc) from the public sector as well as outstanding key developments by private investors (retail, business and residential estates like the Blue Tower, Warsaw Trade Tower, Metropolitan, Rondo 1B, Zlote Tarasi, fair and exhibition centres like the Millennium Plaza Centre, only to mention some).

    2 Ladies and Gentlemen, The City of Warsaw, aspiring to become the “green metropolis”, sets itself a prospective goal of ensuring a high standard of living for its residents in conditions of sustainable development and respect for the natural environment. Like other cities in our region we approach issues related to climate protection with care because we are aware of the risks coming from the negative effects of progressive climate changes stimulated by civilization development. Bearing in mind that only through joint, coordinated efforts we can contribute to reduction of emission of solid pollutants and greenhouse gases to atmosphere, Warsaw actively participates in projects related to climate protection. In February 2009 Warsaw joined the “Covenant of Mayors”, initiative under the patronage of the European Commission, associating European local governments acting to limit climate changes. Following signing the “Covenant of Mayors”, on September 8th 2011 Warsaw City Council adopted a Sustainable Energy Action Plan for Warsaw in the perspective of 2020. It is first document of this magnitude that presents an integrated approach to energy management at the level of Warsaw local government. Implementation of the Action Plan shall bring direct and tangible benefits for Warsaw residents. The pursuit to reduce solid pollutants and GHG emissions will improve air quality, greater attention to efficient and rational use of energy will reduce household bills for energy, while strengthening preferences for public transport will be an impulse for developments, which in consequence will allow Warsaw residents to use public transport more comfortably. However, we have to remember that the key to success of the Action Plan are comprehensive actions at various levels of management and in many areas.
