This book describes how smart cities can be designed with data at their heart, moving from a broad vision to a consistent city-wide collaborative configuration of activities. The authors present a comprehensive framework of techniques to help decision makers in cities analyse their business strategies, design data infrastructures to support these activities, understand stakeholders' expectations, and translate this analysis into a competitive strategy for creating a smart city data infrastructure. Readers can take advantage of unprecedented insights into how cities and infrastructures function and be ready to overcome complex challenges. The framework presented in this book has guided the design of several urban platforms in the European Union and the design of the City Data Strategy of the Mayor of London, UK.

Mumbai's textile industry is commonly but incorrectly understood to be an extinct relic of the past. In The Archive of Loss Maura Finkelstein examines what it means for textile mill workers—who are assumed not to exist—to live and work during a period of deindustrialization. Finkelstein shows how mills are ethnographic archives of the city where documents, artifacts, and stories exist in the buildings and in the bodies of workers. Workers' pain, illnesses, injuries, and exhaustion narrate industrial decline; the ways in which they live in tenements exist outside and resist the values expounded by modernity; and the rumors and untruths they share about textile worker strikes and a mill fire help them make sense of the industry's survival. In outlining this archive's contents, Finkelstein shows how mills, which she conceptualizes as lively ruins, become a lens through which to challenge, reimagine, and alter ways of thinking about the past, present, and future in Mumbai and beyond.

Описание: "The Shelter and the Fence is a well-written, well-researched story of Holocaust rescues. . . . makes it clear that despite the saving of almost 1,000 refugees the United States did much too little to save victims of Nazi terror." —David A. Adler, author of The Number on My Grandfathers Arm The story of Holocaust refugees who found shelter in the United States--with unique parallels to todays stories of asylum seekers. In 1944, at the height of World War II, 982 European refugees found a temporary haven at Fort Ontario in Oswego, New York. They were men, women, and children who had spent frightening years one step ahead of Nazi pursuers and death. They spoke nineteen different languages, and, while most of the refugees were Jewish, a number were Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Protestant Christians. From the time they arrived at the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter on August 5 they began re-creating their lives and embarked on the road to becoming American citizens. In the history of World War II and the Holocaust, this "token" save by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the War Refugee Board was too little and too late for millions. But for those few who reached Oswego it was life changing. The Shelter and the Fence tells their stories.

Описание: The novel is an informative and educational story about one man's late-in-life spiritual and transitional journey. The protagonist, Adam Gardner (a lapsed Jew) transitions from a serene life in his isolated haven to becoming a heroic recognized world figure. After a chance meeting with Bill Robinson, a younger African-American (who is also an observant Jew), the two men become best of friends and resolve to work together to combat discrimination. With the input and advice of Professor Wolfgang Liebermann, a prominent professor of psychology at Columbia University, they create Eden, a bucolic center in rural Maine, where men and women can attend programs that enlighten them about the origins of prejudice and its pernicious nature, and discover ways to mitigate discrimination. Bill teaches Adam many life lessons learned from his past experience, and Wolfgang teaches both Adam and Bill the basis of prejudice and bigotry.Adam's story progresses from naivete, through despair, then to a personal resolve to achieve more meaning and value in his life. Trying to battle depression and resolve family disputes, Adam looks for ways to achieve more purpose in his life as he ages. In the process of building the new Eden, family and emotional conflicts are resolved; Adam finds new spirituality and meaning in life. Along the way, Adam finds strength, inspiration, insight, and encouragement from nature - particularly a waterfall near his home - a place which his father had frequently taken him as a boy to teach him about the world and nature's wonders. The waterfall "speaks" to him and becomes a fulcrum in his journey.The intent of this novel is to have the reader reexamine his or her own attitudes regarding gender, minority status, the environment, police behavior, religion, the manipulation of prejudice in politics and much, much more.Adam's personal story advances from innocence and naivet , to cultural awareness, action and determination, success and resolution, and finally to satisfaction and accomplishment. The story is uplifting, hopeful, spiritual, and meaningful.
