A groundbreaking exploration of the most promising new ideas for creating the sustainable cities of tomorrow The culmination of a four-year collaborative research project undertaken by leading UK universities, in partnership with city authorities, prominent architecture firms, and major international consultants, Retrofitting Cities for Tomorrow's World explores the theoretical and practical aspects of the transition towards sustainability in the built environment that will occur in the years ahead. The emphasis throughout is on emerging systems innovations and bold new ways of imagining and re-imagining urban retrofitting, set within the context of ‘futures-based’ thinking. The concept of urban retrofitting has gained prominence within both the research and policy arenas in recent years. While cities are often viewed as a source of environmental stress and resource depletion they are also hubs of learning and innovation offering enormous potential for scaling up technological responses. But city-level action will require a major shift in thinking and a scaling up of positive responses to climate change and the associated threats of environmental and social degradation. Clearly the time has come for a more coordinated, planned, and strategic approach that will allow cities to transition to a sustainable future. This book summarizes many of the best new ideas currently in play on how to achieve those goals. Reviews the most promising ideas for how to approach planning and coordinating a more sustainable urban future by 2050 through retrofitting existing structures Explores how cities need to govern for urban retrofit and how future urban transitions and pathways can be managed, modeled and navigated Offers inter-disciplinary insights from international contributors from both the academic and professional spheres Develops a rigorous conceptual framework for analyzing existing challenges and fostering innovative ways of addressing those challenges Retrofitting Cities for Tomorrow's World is must-reading for academic researchers, including postgraduates insustainability, urban planning, environmental studies, economics, among other fields. It is also an important source of fresh ideas and inspiration for town planners, developers, policy advisors, and consultants working within the field of sustainability, energy, and the urban environment.

Enoch and Noah from the old world before it was destroyed by water, then Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Ezekiel, Elijah, Amos, Jeremiah, John The Baptist, and David who is to be king over them, along with many of our more recent prophets, like Billy Sunday, Billy Graham, and all the original deciples of Jesus, and Paul who wrote many books of the New Testament, along ( with and part of) the ones marked in 7 Th. Chapter of Revelations consisting of 144,000 or 12,000 thousand from each tribe of Israel, with the exceptiion of the tribe of DAN being replaced by MANASSES, which I have stated many times as being one of the very special one. A far different world than we live in now, for the new world as we might call it, will be ruled by Spirit beings which had been on the earth before and being the resurected Saints that have been long gone from the earth, I believe Manasses is United States of America, and can prove it, this is one of the twins of Joseph who received the Birthright the other being EPHRIAM which is Great Brittain, who receives the Joseph share. Really a double portion for Joseph Jacobs favorite son who received the BIRTHRIGHT. Gen. Ch. 48 ITS IN THE BOOK ALSO..

And in the end of the Age will be the most Important country in History. Most all of Jesuses Apostles are buried in England including Peter, Paul, John, and many others. In a cemetary called St. Albans found in Greek History, Greek and Latin Ecclesiasticae Historiae of Nicephorus Callistus. And Bede''''s Ecclesiastical History Book 111 Chapter 29. My wife and I have been to the cemetary. The Babylonian Cult that turmed into the largest denominational church in the world, how it came about and the complete story of how the Christian religion that got tangled up in it through a fallen member of the christian religion named Bishop Damasus, combinding the two into one, all adopted by the Roman Empire as their State Religion. The emperors were head of the church including the Cesars. Then the Great White Throne Judgement that ends it all, after the thousand year reign by the Saints, when the judgement of everyone that has ever lived, whether saint or sinner, the righteous to everlasting life in a new Heaven, and a new City Jerusalem coming down out of Heaven, Christ bride, where we will live forever, and the ungodly will be burned up as though they had never ever existed, with the earth, as it tells us in 2nd Peter Chapter 3 verses 12 and 13 and all sinners burned up in Malachi Chapter four (4) it say they will become ashes under your feet. The New Heaven and the new earth where no sin can enter into it, so Satan and his Imps becomes wanderers no one to deceive, no home throughout eternity.

Believing that we occupy more environmental space than the world can afford, this book seeks to explain what we can do to live comfortably within what we actually have through efficiency and sufficiency. In addition, it aims to present the sustainable levels of consumption for Britain as targets for government, industry and households, as well as an idea of how to achieve them.

Shaping Tomorrow’s World tells the crucial story of how futures studies developed in West Germany, Europe, the US and within global futures networks from the 1940s to the 1980s. It charts the emergence of different approaches and thought styles within the field ranging from Cold War defense intellectuals such as Herman Kahn to critical peace activists like Robert Jungk. Engaging with the challenges of the looming nuclear war, the changing phases of the Cold War, ‘1968’, and the growing importance of both the Global South and environmentalism, this book argues that futures scholars actively contributed to these processes of change. This multiple award-winning study combines national and transnational perspectives to present a unique history of envisioning, forecasting, and shaping the future.

It is an unprecedented challenge to strike the correct balance between regulatory burden and trade facilitation that often result in either vicious cycles or virtuous cycles that determine whether corporations and Trusts will merge and grow bigger to take advantage of the often misunderstood and under-appreciated concept of economies of scale. The antitrust laws had been actively breaking down and enabling Rollback to sizes perceived as manageable and not threats to the governments, the FTC, and the interstates rather than to competition. This has been going on for the past seventy years or even more with little or no progress. We believe mankind is still in the defensive stage of development when we should be in networking and cooperation. Where we use advanced technology to share ideas and develop technologies that will take us out of this defensive stage. The question is this. Are the FTC, the interstate, and the governments doing the right thing in attacking these tech giants? Going after each one of them with a direct pre-planned goal. To interrogate, accuse, rip them off through fines then break them up into smaller sizes " to facilitate competition and provide a free market" at the same time creating value for the consumer?” Then Rollback all to sizes perceived as safe and not threats. Or it is time we all argue that these agencies use the Rule of Reason as we believe that not all corporations or antitrust are evil. Some are good and are the only ones to take us to the next stage of development. Is it not time to let these tech giants lead the way? Do you know that 70 % or more of the most powerful entities in the world are corporations and Trusts? Big enough with vast resources to turn things around for us. Is it not time to let these lead the way? Is it not also time for a new global legal framework? Surely the growth of these has surpassed those at the time the Sherman Act was enacted in 1890 when the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice were tasked to deal with these. Is it not the time for a real global leader to act as a referee between these FTC, interstates, governments, and these corporations? I think it is time for Tomorrow's World Order to guide and act as the overseer. To lead mankind to the next stage of development. Surely, we can’t afford to waste any more time. The context in which these antitrust laws were enacted must be considered. We think it is not only a miscarriage of justice but grossly flawed and a criminal offence on the part of the Federal Trade Commission and its allies to consider that carrying out a SWOT analysis and acting on the results is an anti-competitive tactic. Remember they follow the legal corporations or company’s act. When this tactic is a legally approved method to deal with the issues of the lack of incentives to invest. The need to merge and gain economies of scale to overcome and conquer the vicious cycle and go to the virtuous stages. Corporations do what they do because this is the only way they can go to the next stage. A stage that will see them realise economies of scale and be able to offer the highest quality products at lower prices different from what the FTC and its allies are regarding as benefits. What can be beneficial to the consumers if the products are: okay cheaper. But of poor quality, as compared to what can be achieved? What do you call competition and variety when you refer to small-sized early entry companies most of whom only make a profit to remain in business without any to invest? That makes us ask. What are the real motives of these agencies? Are they milking these tech giants or planning to? Who are the real people or agencies harming the people? Are all these agencies clean or they are the worst competition blockers? Masters of poor service provisions and involved in human-hacking for stealing data secretly and using this to get illegal donations as they pass tips? We know tech giants breach privacy and personal data laws too.
