Abstract:
<p>In 2015 the City of Burlington developed a new 2015-2040 Strategic Plan: <em>Grow Bold, </em>which tasked Burlington Economic Development Corporation (BEDC) with supporting the start up and scale up of companies and making Burlington a start up destination. This article will outline the process that BEDC went through to better understand the local innovation ecosystem and the role that BEDC could play in supporting it. This process resulted in BEDC going from no role in supporting companies to start and grow to launching, TechPlace, Burlington’s new innovation Centre in 2017, which supported over 4,000 visitors in their entrepreneurial journey in year one of operations. </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Innovation, Entrepreneurship, Startups, Job Creation, Startup Support, Innovation Centre</p>

Abstract:
Much has been written on the history of the railways and other transport forms in Ireland, from technological, economic, social and labour history viewpoints. However, the history of another important nineteenth-century transport form, the hackney carriage, remains neglected. In this article, it will be argued, using the hackney carriage business in Cork as a case study, that the hackney carriage was an important vehicle (both literal and metaphorical) in facilitating Cork’s development as a modern city with an urban centre surrounded by a suburban hinterland. Further, by examining in detail the workings of the Hackney Carriage Committee of the Cork Corporation, I will argue that the hackney carriage drivers, colloquially referred to as ginglemen or jinglemen, were for the most part a precarious working class who were policed by the Corporation, the Hackney Carriage Committee and the by-law governing their livelihoods. As such, the bye-law and the apparatus that implemented it was a form of liberal governmentality and social control over a portion of Cork’s working class.

Abstract:
This paper is an overview on the location and concentration of housing types in the Tokyo district, with particular focus on danchi and "mansions" (particularly "tower mansions"). The focus is placed on these two types of housing, the danchi developed by the Japan Housing Corporation, a public housing corporation, and the Tower Mansions developed by the private developers. Neither suburban detached houses, nor the government-subsidized housing other than that of the Kodan, were included in the analysis in order to keep our argument intact. Danchi (public housing estates) built from 1955 to 1970 were mostly built by replacing forests or agricultural areas in the suburbs. Land developments by Kodan as well as by private developers at that time had been concentrated in the inlands. The situation changed after the year 2000, when tower mansions, a building type that featured high-rise and high-density apartment buildings, allowed construction on much smaller plots of land than those in the suburbs, promoting brownfield developments near the city. Consequently, danchi, much of which are rental, and publicly owned, were built in inland, while the tower mansions, essentially privately owned, were located near the city, and near the waterfront. These two contrasting housing examples must be highlighted when studying the state of contemporary housing in Tokyo.

Abstract:
This article examines the depiction of three impoverished Lagosian slums in the controversial British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) documentary, Welcome to Lagos, which highlights the negative impacts of globalised capitalism on urban culture in Nigeria's commercial centre and biggest city. In recent times scholarship on postcolonial urbanisation has been marked by an important shift in focus from economic concerns to interest in the peculiar cultural dimensions of life in postcolonial cities. As this article argues, however, dominant depictions of postcolonial cities continue to highlight ways in which cultural responses to the harsh effects of late capitalism in such cities reflect economic strategies of what Mike Davis calls “informal survivalism.”

Abstract:
In the period 1919–22, two events catalyzed General Motors’ nascent dominance in the automotive industry: the company built a monumental headquarters in Detroit, designed by Albert Kahn Associates and located on what was then the periphery of the city; and a restructuring of the corporation was enacted at the behest of several newly appointed executives, including Alfred P. Sloan. In “Actual Center of Detroit”: Method, Management, and Decentralization in Albert Kahn's General Motors Building, Michael Abrahamson explores the conjunction between these events, arguing that both manifest a struggle with immense size. To cope with the bigness of buildings, corporations, and urban environments, GM and the Kahn firm developed strategies that set the agenda for architectural practice, corporate management, and urban development for the twentieth-century United States. Together, these strategies reveal the entwined forces that influenced the design of the General Motors Building.

Abstract:
Fire hazard is now a global problem, particularly in densely populated areas in developing countries like Bangladesh. Fire hazards frequently happen in urban and rural areas of Bangladesh. Fires at several shopping malls prove that the safety measures in the shopping center are not at standard level. This study aimed to assess the fire hazard vulnerability of shopping centers in Rangpur City Corporation, Bangladesh. The study area was surveyed and analyzed with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing along with primary field data regarding existing planning rules and regulations of the Government of Bangladesh. All the structures of the study area were assessed and categorized into four class ranges from very high to low, according to some vulnerability criteria defined by safety codes. The study found that about 30% of the structures fall under very high, 50% fall under high vulnerability and 20% fall under moderate vulnerability class. The most significant issue was the low vulnerable structures of the shopping centers to face fire hazards. Most of the structures fall under the danger classes that can be improved by the direct intervention of the state agency.

Abstract. Roads play a crucial role in the urban spatial structure. A place's development and growth depend on the road network connectivity and accessibility being the socio-economic and transportation carrier. It involves the mobility of people and goods from one place to another. The choice of mode of travel depends on the living standards, connectivity, and vicinity to the work area. The study uses satellite data to analyze road network connectivity using the connectivity indices of Mangalore City Corporation, a port city in India. The connectivity indices alpha, beta, gamma, and eta showed the Area's good connectivity with proper roads and interconnectivity. Using Dijkstra's algorithm, the least cost path is identified on which the spatial mapping of the travel information is made. The travel information raster served the commuter in knowing the time, distance, and cost of modes from all possible origins to each city center. Specifically, it serves as the base map for bus routes, their cost, and travel time for significant city bus stations. The cost of travel, Duration, and distance information is mapped for two-wheeler and four-wheeler commuters. The study used the Modis Land Use Land Cover Data to identify inaccessible road network areas.

Abstract:
Shenzhen is one of the most dynamically growing cities in the world with a population of more than 10 million. Situated in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) in China it is in the powerhouse of the global economy. Some decades ago Shenzhen was a small fishing village only, however, after its designation as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) the city has gone through rapid urbanization and industrial development. Therefore, currently, Shenzhen is one of the leading economic hubs of China, an important gateway of the large Chinese economy, and a sub-provincial administrative centre in the PRD. Sungang-Quingshuihe (SQ) is a neighbourhood of 2.5 square kilometres, in Louhu district in the east of Shenzhen. The landscape system of SQ has been largely destroyed and fragmented by developments. Our main goal is to redesign SQ neighbourhood for an innovative growth centre of Shenzhen. We envisage SQ as a liveable area with new and modern functions for international residents who work in higher education, information communication industry, medical services, R&D facilities of multinational corporations, and research-oriented start-up companies. In order to accomplish this vision it is required to design new transportation system, public buildings, housing, green corridors and parklands.

Abstract:
Water delivery service is the responsibility of all the institutions in every city. According to the Sustainable Development Agenda (SDA), every citizen has the right to have access to drinking water at all times. The objective of the study was to identify the impacts of Urban Water Corporation in the delivery of water services, determine public opinion on water service delivery, and assess the challenges Urban Water is facing in delivering water services in Wau Municipality. The study adopted an explorative design for a survey to examine the research questions. The target population was 120 people, which includes the communities and staff of the urban water corporation. The study applied the stratified random technique to the same group of elements, from which a sample size of 92 respondents was selected via the Yamane 1967 formula. Purposive sampling and simple random sampling methods were adopted in the selection of participants. The questionnaire was used as the main primary data collection instrument, whose validity and reliability were tested by Marial Ajieth. The data was analyzed quantitatively by using descriptive statistics, frequency tables, and percentages. The study found that the impact of water service delivery by the urban water corporation is only seen in the main municipality center; other locations were not impacted. The opinion of the public about the water delivery service in Wau municipality was rated with a mixed reaction, where one respondent said they were happy about water services and the other said they were not happy. The study noted that the lack of funds to support water supply in Wau Municipality was a major concern. The study recommended that there is a need to ensure the provision of enough and safe drinking water, prioritize that the majority of citizens get water from the water system more than wells, that the urban water corporation should provide enough water for all public use in Wau Municipality, provide funds to support water supply, and ensure that there is equitable water distribution for all locations in Wau Municipality.

Abstract:
Since its establishment as an emerging area of research in strategic management over a decade ago, business model research has had little consensus towards adopting a single definition or common language for this rapidly growing management concept.  However, strong agreement as to the relevance of value creation within organizations underlies existing business model literature. Moreover, applications of business model frameworks outside the private sector have been limited. Recent literature has identified business model innovation and design as a critical tool in effective implementation of organizational strategy, and empirical research in business models from new and alternative perspectives may reveal linkages between strategic management issues and effectiveness in creating value in public and citizen sector organizations.  Nevertheless, existing academic literature has not yet explored applications of traditional business model frameworks within a public sector context, nor has the need for empirical research linking the business model concept with public sector management been addressed. The main purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of how business models can be defined, redefined, and applied in city economic development agencies for application as a strategic public management tool. An analysis of how the business model of a prominent city economic development agency has been employed and how value is created within this model will be undertaken.  This empirical study also aims to determine conceptual linkages between business model applications in city economic development and to contribute a theoretical foundation towards development of future research.   Given the multi-faceted applications of the business model concept, the authors have conducted exploratory research targeting the application of current business model concepts and frameworks to a city economic development agency representing an influential global center of finance and commerce, the City of New York. The significance of conducting empirical studies on city economic development agencies is due to the influence in which these organizations have on industrial cluster growth, national economic competitiveness, and citywide and regional transformation. In considering this context, The New York City Economic Development Corporation is the primary economic growth engine for the City of New York, and strives to create and deliver value to citizens, businesses, and other stakeholders of New York City.   Findings from this study suggest that economic development professionals have not adequately clarified the term ‘business model’ for promoting common language between strategists, project managers, consultants, and executives to support strategic business model design within city economic development agencies.  The authors conclude that equally relevant to framing and applying theoretical foundations grounded in the business model concept, is the identification of value-creating activities within economic development agencies and development of citizen-focused value propositions.  This empirical study aims to define, clarify and explore the former, while calling upon a need for future research of the latter.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the political and cultural development of a 'major English city from the Restoration to the eve of the French Revolution. During this period many English boroughs were to experience the interference of royal regulation in the 1660s and 1680s, face two new regimes, under William III and George I, and two armed rebellions, in 1715 and 1745. By focusing on one important provincial town which felt the direct impact of these events, the influence of the corporation in dealing with these developments will be discussed. The central focus is the role of the corporation, a little studied organ of local government, and the impact it could exert over the city's development. By studying the impact of politics on urban society, the important role of the corporate body can be seen. Several key themes are developed, showing the existence and impact of faction within the corporation, the growth in influence of the Grosvenor family of Eaton Hall and the challenges to the elitist nature of the corporate body. Chester developed socially and culturally during this period and this thesis will chart the changing experience of the city as it responded to both national and local initiatives. This is seen through the development of the town's economy, in trade and communication improvements, and through the development of shops and wholesale facilities. Changes were visible in the fabric of the town, with new roads, public buildings, amenities, the foundation of a charity school and infirmary, and the provision of entertainment for a leisured elite. The corporation was instrumental in some, although not all, of the cultural changes taking place within the city and had an impact on the development of the cityscape. The corporation is examined as an institution of local government, whose membership indicates the workings of the local elite. The corporation's direction of the city's general development and its key role in representing the city's interests, especially in trade, is a continuing theme in the later chapters, showing the connection between Chester's political and cultural development. The bulk of this thesis is covered by a chronologically-based analysis of the city's political development 1660-1790. Of central interest before 1700 is the struggle for the control of the corporation, which was especially fierce 1682-1697. After a period of political stability at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the growth in the influence of the Grosvenors had an impact on both the city of Chester and the corporate body. Analysis suggests, however, that the dominance of this family was not a foregone conclusion, and that the corporate body had a significant role to play in the relationship between the city and the Grosvenors. By the end of the eighteenth century this relationship was seen as oppressive to the freemen of the city, a faction of whom challenged the elitist nature of the corporation in an attempt to free one of the city's parliamentary seats. Throughout the period the corporation dictated the pace of local change, and this thesis illustrates the impact of this organisation upon urban society. In Chester, the corporation had an influence over the development of the city and significantly affected the city's political and cultural life.

Abstract:
There is a spatial dislocation between jobs and people in Cape Town, which is largely caused by financial exclusion through urban land markets. The majority of low-income households - who also constitute the majority of the city's population - live on the urban periphery, where property is affordable but opportunities are scarce. This places the burden of high transport costs on the shoulders of those least able to pay, and reinforces the patterns of segregation imposed by apartheid. This deep-rooted spatial inequality has recently been brought to the fore through a series of housing-related protests by Reclaim The City and others. These movements prove that the need for well-located, affordable housing is only getting more urgent. If Cape Town is to overcome the spatial legacy of apartheid, it needs more affordable housing in areas of economic and social opportunity. This dissertation demonstrates how affordable housing can be provided in one well-located, inner-city site: The Foreshore. Situated in the City Bowl, the Foreshore is close to the abundance of employment opportunities and social facilities of this established and growing district. Further, the City of Cape Town has recently begun a tender process for development of the Foreshore. This included a request (albeit vague) for affordable housing to be included in the resulting project. Building on the City's intentions, this dissertation presents a spatial development framework for the Foreshore site that prioritises affordable housing and a mix of uses. The need for affordable, inner-city housing was established through an analysis of Cape Town and the City Bowl. Through this analysis, the Foreshore emerged as a prime site for fulfilling this need. A review of housing policy and legislation, together with an assessment of Cape Town's housing market, determined that Social Housing is the best model for achieving sustainable affordability in an urban context. However, it was found that the involvement of private sector is crucial to realising developments that are feasible and diverse. Further, it is important to take a demand-driven approach to housing delivery, which is sensitive to market nuances and which draws on a range of spatial planning principles. This helps to create holistic, liveable neighbourhooods. These principles were demonstrated in the spatial development framework for the Foreshore. This showed that developing the Foreshore presents an opportunity to reintegrate society, and to reconnect the city to the sea. It is possible to develop 8500 residential units in the site, most of which would be affordable to households earning R3500 to R15000 per month. To achieve this, it is vital that the elevated freeways be replaced with ground-level roads, which will in fact reduce traffic congestion. The city's historical connection to the sea should be restored by reconstructing the Adderley Pier and creating a Foreshore promenade. Realising these projects in manner that is feasible, sustainable, and socially just would require an efficient and tactical implementation process. Discussions with experts in the field of affordable housing development revealed some key implementation strategies for this. These included the package of plans process, land value capture, and the strategic use and release of state-owned land. Together, these would enable the controlled involvement of private sector in the Foreshore development, and would help to find the project's infrastructure. These findings are not entirely exclusive to the Foreshore, and could therefore give guidance to affordable housing projects in other parts of the City Bowl. Therefore, developing the Foreshore to prioritise affordable housing could initiate the socio-spatial reintegration of Cape Town's fragmented city centre.

Full text
Abstract:
It is widely believed that globalisation of economic production and emergence of an integrated world order is the main rational behind many urban development projects in the world cities. The other major phenomenon concerning urban development in the advanced industrial countries is wide spread use of public private partnership in the project as a result of state-market realignment since the end of the 1970s. These two discourses were combined together and have created a particular image of the city in the global economy. That is cities are competing each other to attract mobile trans-national capital by, for instance, the urban infrastructure project carried out by public private partnership in entrepreneurial manner. The author believes that the argument is leaned toward economic determinism without giving proper attention to the role of national and local government, and argues that this image is by no means universal. The thesis explores how public bodies and the business community in Tokyo saw the opportunity and potential danger of the globalisation of Tokyo and devised strategic development policy. The case study of Tokyo Waterfront Sub-centre, one of the flagship project for globalisation of Tokyo, illustrate unique relationship between national government, Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and the business community behind the project. The author analyses power relations between them in the framework of Urban Regime Theory with additional parameters which are the position of Tokyo in global economy, and its integrated inter-governmental system. The author concludes that contrary to the popular argument of globalisation and urban development which emphasises the power of global economic forces to determine the fate of the city, Japanese government set the framework of the strategic action, and Tokyo Metropolitan Government was a main agent to carry out the project. The author also attributed the relative strength of state policy to historically constructed relations between public and private sectors in Japan known as Capitalist Developmental State.

Abstract:
There are many factors associated with an urban environment that enrich or  diminish the experience of the environment. These factors have a significant influence on how  an urban morphology is appraised within the social, economical, and environmental  framework. One of such factors is the urban transport system that represents the mobility of  the people and accessibility to public services. This thesis is an assessment of a current  transport system in Kathmandu city centre in comparison to Kathmandu Sustainable Urban  Transport Project (KSUTP) promoted by Ministry of Physical Planning and Works in  cooperation from Asian Development Bank (ADB). The study aims to find the optimal  strategic alternative between the current system and KSUTP. The focus area is the historic  city centre, because of its cultural, historical, architectural, and aesthetical significance.    Two methods are used for two different purposes; first to measure people’s appraisal and  second, to evaluate action alternatives. Measurement of Experience in Environment from  Results of Core affect Investigation (MEERCI) is used to measure people’s appraisal and  experience of the urban characters of Kathmandu city centre. The results from this survey will  provide a background on people’s assessment of the city environs, and collected data from  field work will be used in Generic Multi-Attribute Analysis (GMAA) model to determine the  best strategic plan for developing sustainable urban transport system for Kathmandu city  centre. The hard facts and figures are collected from authorities, ministries, and previous  researches, which is then entered into the model to evaluate the optimal alternative.     It is concluded that improvements in the current transport system in Kathmandu city centre,  with the implementation of KSUTP, will result in better environment for the local population,  local economy, public services, and transport facilities. In short, the quality of life will be  enhanced with an upgrade in the urban transport system.

Abstract:
AbstractWith the accelerated development of science and technology in the last 20 years, many cities in the world are undergoing major changes to become smarter, safer, and more sustainable. Some cities in Vietnam are also making efforts to catch up with this irreversible trend. In Vietnam, the government is working with corporations to plan and implement smart cities, focusing on nine fields: architecture, urban planning, interaction, healthcare, education, transportation, safety and security, journalism and communication management, and digital government. This paper draws on the case of the Intelligent Operations Center in Thua Thien Hue province––a remarkable example of effective smart city planning and application in Asia—and analyzes its smart city implementation inside a historical and cultural city. The center is designed and implemented to lay a sound foundation for smart city technologies. The Intelligent Operations Center helps the government supervise and control citizens’ social activities and predict social trends. Additionally, it encourages the participation of citizens in managing the city.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter presents a comparative study between Milan (Italy) and Porto (Portugal) to analyse the perceived tourism impacts of these two urban destinations on host communities. The chapter explores resident-tourist interactions from the residents' perspective and, by using a mixed-methods approach, attempts to show that residents tend to have different modes of interaction with and hold diverse attitudes to tourism development. In particular, in Porto tourism is perceived as a main driver of change in the old town that generates both positive and negative attitudes, while residents of Milan perceive that while the city is less dependent on tourism development, tourism is integrated in the general transformation of the city and takes place in a more dispersed, spatial manner. As a result, it is concluded that host-guest encounters occur more frequently in the historical centre of Porto compared to Milan.

Abstract:
During the last two decades, many developing countries are facing problems of urban poverty and housing. From 1900 several countries in the World introduced policies for Slum Development. After Independence, the Government of India was facing a huge housing challenge, especially in urban brought out schemes like Subsidized Housing Schemes. After various experiments, the areas, due to large scale migration after the partition of the country. The Central government created a national level Housing and Urban Development Corporation (HUDCO). Later, neoliberal policies had started making their ways into India. These schemes were focused only on weaker sections of society. Such policies are fully taken care of by the Government on no profit system basis. However, the city of Solapur has not been able to take the benefits of these schemes introduced at Central level. This study shows the various policies introduced by the government, their implementation, their prospects and constraints. Also, it shows the difference between various schemes implied by the Central Govt. as well as the Municipal Corporation of Solapur and current Component 3 of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) policy.

Abstract:
The fast urban development in India is making evident many social, cultural, and economic complexities reproduced in the city's planning and design. The drive for modernization is becoming the central topic in the national and political debate and becomes more urgent every day. Among these contexts, urban fabrics in-between developing cities, heritage roots, "smart city" missions and "kinetic" cities constitute a framework for research on morphological, functional, social and environmental perspectives. This paper investigates contested locations in Ahmedabad, where informality finds space between heritage structures and recent beautification projects, such as the Sabarmati riverfront. The paper understands how a holistic approach is essential in rethinking and upgrading the spatial and urban conditions of informal settlements in the city and therefore highlights the relevance of adequate lenses to understand these complexities. Like many other cities in India, living in slums or informal settlements is a common phenomenon in Ahmedabad, as they provide affordable housing close to job opportunities. In 2009, AMC (Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation) identified 834 slums, sheltering 23 per cent of the total population of the city. Several conditions and features characterize these settlements since their communities are often from the same region, class, caste, or religion. This paper will analyze case studies in Ahmedabad, where the friction between informality, preservation of heritage structures and new smart city developments is evident. The paper will question various assumptions regarding the informal environment and analyze their cultural and architectural identities, the domestication of heritage structures, and vulnerability within the idea of a smart and globalized Ahmedabad.

Abstract:
Closed to three-quarters of Europeans live in cities today, and by the growth of the population worldwide, this ratio is ever increasing. The accelerated speed of urbanization poses unprecedented challenges on people, cities, and the environment. Sustainability became a key global objective since Rio via Tokyo until Paris Agreement. The United Nations prepared an agenda for a better and more sustainable future for all. The 17 Goals are related to global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and the effects of urbanization. Over the last decade, various Smart City approaches have emerged among the government, non-profit sectors, and industries to use Information and Communication Technology as a tool to manage these challenges and to improve the quality of life for their citizens. At the same time, Industry 4.0, the digitalization of industries, has diffused across the world, setting the scene for a new stage of innovation yet keeping the competitiveness of business players. Tungsram, a multinational corporation headquartered in Hungary, has refocused its mission and stood up to expand its product portfolio by including Smart City solutions. Tungsram Edge focuses on three major Smart City offerings: indoor farming, efficient buildings, and Smart Solutions. Indoor farming (AgriTech), a science-based approach to agriculture, uses the latest research to establish precision indoor farming facilities. Efficient buildings (PropTech) has come to life to support the universal goal of reducing cities’ ecological footprint. Each smart solution has a direct or indirect effect on several objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The first part of the paper identifies the key contemporary challenges of cities and industries and the evolution and links of Smart City and Industry 4.0 approaches. The second part of the paper is a case study of a multinational company headquartered in Hungary entering into these processes by building a Smart City Action Plan and by developing key smart products (Smart City portfolio) to react to and to provide solutions for urban challenges.

Abstract:
In the current article, we are looking at some of the challenges of planning for healthy and resilient cities with a focus on the features of the physical structure. In order to examine the physical structures, we use qualitative assessment based on the comparative framework and the typomorphological approach. We look for criteria of assessment based on the already existing indexes of health measurement. The above attempt is illustrated by the case study of the city of Lodz, Poland. We are looking at the best solutions which would enable healthy lifestyles and climateresilient development. Our discussion refers to optimal models of mixeduse development and streetscapes of a central part of Lodz, namely focused around so-called New City Centre of Lodz, indicating possible alternative paths of its redevelopment. The methodological approach is supported by background research into the fields of resilience and healthy lifestyles.

Abstract:
Tirana center was designed and used by all governments during most of its lifetime mainly as a political instrument. After decades of central controlled urbanism, the fell of the communist re- gime was accompanied with massive development mostly illegal and informal that spread all over the urban area. In 2000, when the aggressiveness of the constructions posed danger to the historic urban environment of the center of the city, the Ministry of Culture requested the designation of the Boulevard of Tirana and its surroundings as a ‘Cultural Historical Architectural Ensemble’. Since then, the borders of the zone that defined the ensemble reshaped several times. Due to consecutive decisions the Ensemble lost 53% of its area. This paper uses a comparative analysis of the cartographic documents that accompany the governmental decisions on the ensemble while cataloging the cultural monuments which transformed, reshaped or demolished due to these de- cisions. The research concludes that the legal ‘border’ instrument used to protect the ensemble is easily transformable into a political instrument which in the case of Tirana, resulted beside the loss of heritage also in the transformation and shift of the urban common.

Abstract:
Multifunctional and unique cloud-based Smart Street lighting control system with central management system (CMS) software. It is a perfect solution to manage large-scale outdoor lighting networks in order to control and monitor street lighting infrastructure while saving energy and reducing maintenance costs. Street Lighting CMS is just the first step of more sophisticated Smart City platform development process. Smart street lighting control system allows a city to schedule lights on or off easily and set dimming levels of lights so a city can provide the right level of lighting intelligently. Smart and intelligent street lighting control systems are designed primarily for energy efficiency. Cities using Smart Street lighting control system reduces their street lighting energy. Smart street lighting control systems accurately detect light failure and other maintenance problems in real time so malfunctions can be fixed quickly. This intelligent system provides the operator with web access for automatic or manual monitoring and control over illumination performance. Cities, public organizations, and industries around the world are joining the Smart City Initiative. One of the important components of Smart City is “Connected LIGHTING”. Cities, municipal corporations around the world are adopting the connected lighting solution by replacing their old street light infrastructure with the Internet of Things based lighting which brings more efficiency in energy consumption and operational issues. Smart Street Lighting solution gives cities and municipalities the capability to remotely monitor & control the street lights in a much effective way. Our Smart Street Lighting Solution CCMS (Centralized Control and Monitoring System). CCMS is the product, designed indigenously by us for Street Lighting Projects in India to control lighting schedule, monitor energy consumption and faults. With CCMS, the street lights can be scheduled according to the time of the day or as per predefined lighting requirements. Our smart street lighting solution can be used for highways, urban/rural streets, sports arenas, buildings, parks, and industries to monitor and control the lighting system from anywhere.

Abstract:
ith the continuous development of technical means, information technologies such as big data and artificial intelligence have gradually become one of the core technical means of planning and design. Applying AI and big data to evaluate street space has also become one hot spot in recent years. However, there are few studies on the street space quality of Wuhan based on new technology, and especially there is almost no evaluation system that combines planning technology and information technology. This study employs big data, traditional planning data and current status survey data, combined with artificial intelligence, ArcGIS spatial analysis and spatial syntax and other analytical techniques, to propose a comprehensive system for evaluating street space quality. This paper selects an area in the central city of Wuhan for the case study on the quality evaluation system, and accordingly provides an analytic idea for the planning and construction of streets, so as to guide the implementation of street-related projects and planning.

Full text
Abstract:
While it is the jurisdiction with the highest per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in Argentina, there are historically marked differences in socioeconomic levels and socio-environmental conditions between the north and the south of the city of Buenos Aires. The effects of climate change are intertwined with those of economic globalization, a process of “double exposure” that disproportionately affects particular social groups and areas in the city. Slums and informal settlements in Buenos Aires are growing in size. Most face significant resource and infrastructure deficits, as well as high flood risk, and are thus highly vulnerable to the effects of a changing climate. Tackling climate change in Buenos Aires requires integrated adaptation and mitigation approaches that put the most vulnerable at the centre. The ongoing socio-urban integration processes in informal settlements represent opportunities to rethink and territorialize climate action from an integrated habitat perspective. Since the early 2000s, Buenos Aires has built a robust track record of climate policy, including a climate change law and three Climate Action Plans (PACs). The city has also long been a hotbed for social movements, with a recent resurgence of “the right to the city,” defined as the right of urban dwellers to build, decide and create the city. This provides fertile ground for climate justice narratives and transformative climate action to take root. More than half of the city’s GHG emissions come from the consumption of grid electricity and fuels in buildings, mostly natural gas. Multilevel and intersectoral articulation of public policies are key to advance the climate agenda at the city level, particularly in light of limited urban authority over the electricity sector. Sustainability transformations in Buenos Aires could also be enabled by strengthening the existing capacity development efforts of particular local actors to raise climate awareness; connecting and amplifying emerging community-led initiatives that showcase transformative climate action; and clarifying financial flows as a way to stimulate climate financing.

Full text
Abstract:
The economic development of Southeast Asia is increasingly dependent on establishing a cutting-edge digital infrastructure. In some segments of digital infrastructure, for example, data centre operations, the presence and strategy of the two nations’ tech companies in Southeast Asia has mainly been driven by market considerations. As for smart and safe city solutions, submarine internet cables, and 5G infrastructure, investment projects are linked to security concerns to a greater extent and are increasingly affected by the tech rivalry of the two great powers. The maze of geopolitical and business motivations and interests makes it more challenging for ASEAN nations to navigate the tech war and face the dual challenge of rapidly developing the digital infrastructure and avoiding taking sides in tech decoupling. The lack of global legislation on digital issues enables great tech powers to push their own data governance models. An intensifying clash between the US and China over data governance concepts would pose a risk to the evolution of adequate local legislation in the ASEAN region.

Full text
Abstract:
The case of Mzuzu illustrates how secondary cities, where revenues are often incredibly low and capacity is minimal, can innovate and lead the way on municipal finance reform. Mzuzu is Malawi’s third largest city. The focus of this case study is a simple and fit-for capacity property valuation system that increased realised revenues seven-fold between 2013 and 2018:1 The Revenue Mobilisation Programme (REMOP). Although the programme was initially seen to be a success, several serious misgivings continue to inhibit further progress. These centre on legal barriers in the current property valuation process in Malawi. More broadly, issues such as revenue pilferage, lack of capacity for financial anagement, land ownership disputes between spheres of government, and national rural bias continue to prevent Mzuzu from achieving a sustainable financial position. For development partners, the example of Mzuzu provides a stark reminder of the vital importance of widespread stakeholder engagement and caution for legal obstacles in order to achieve sustainable project success. It also illustrates the potential of using smaller cities, with more flexibility and somewhat strong incentives for reform, as a useful starting point to trial new revenue enhancement innovations. The Development Fund for Local Authorities (DFLA), a special entity set up for small and low-cost loans to local governments in Malawi, also presents an interesting model for further exploration. By helping local authorities through the process of lending, they are building local government creditworthiness and enabling them to develop systems for future debt finance. Malawi’s cities, being some of the poorest in the world and in a country with relatively low level of urbanisation, are still at the beginning of the development curve. This early stage brings numerous challenges that are yet to be faced as well as an enormous opportunity to learn from the mistakes and successes of other cities in similar contexts. The cities are still at the critical juncture where they can invest in the urban infrastructure essential for livability and productivity before mass settlement takes place.
