Less explored potential of education in the energy transition.
🌐A generic case for any city, or geography across the world.
❄️Every winter, every household pledges to save energy a little more; some switch to new modes of energy, some install new higher energy rating appliances, some switch to lighting and appliance automation, some go for retrofitting and better insulation, some become more conscious of their energy usage habits, some procure and install new energy management systems and connected home apps, and so on.
And one may wonder, why still there isn't aggregate high energy saving ⚡
🛠️You may have the most advanced energy-saving appliances, a house retrofitted for the highest rating, and so on, but results at the community level won’t be as favourable as expected unless some corrective measures are taken.
If one person is not using and operating the household appliance and fixtures correctly, soon the entire household will continue the wrong practice, that too this winter, and next, and throughout the lifespan of the product.

Information, connectivity and networked life as understated but intrinsic qualities of smart cities.
Please visit my web page "Urban Tenets" at https://urbantenets.nl/
************************************************
Connectivity has not just emerged in terms of shortening the physical distance
but assumed a new role and meaning that simply didn’t exist centuries back
i.e., virtual connectivity.
Networked life, though has existed from the very beginning of societal
structural formation, the emergence of trade activities, and evolution of
economic ecosystem; it was never as organised, resilient, and transitory as
today.
The way social and technological evolution occur, like an almost unstoppable
but invisible force; it remained almost unnoticeable, until recently. While we
assume that getting timely information, availing universal connectivity, and
living a networked way of life is fundamental and intrinsic to society, almost
like the presumed service rights; only until we encounter paucity of
information, obstruction in connectivity or experience friction or blockage in
network.
What it takes for cities to offer a seamless flow of information, ubiquitous
connectivity, and resilient modern networked life? Almost all of the above
values and conveniences of modern life can be encapsulated under the ambit of
the smart city concept; with the concerted efforts of multiple stakeholders.
The city administrations, city managers, and urban planners have to leverage
all of these in a holistic, inclusionary, and cautionary manner while creating
a fail-safe provision for system redundancy. The discourse around amorphous and
shape-shifting “smart city concepts”, yet seemingly an unstoppable force, is
increasingly required to be directional and formulative (instead of divisive)
to be constructive.

Idea of time-space in city making: the two realities.
Please visit my web page "Urban Tenets" at https://urbantenets.nl/
************************************************
Those in urban planning affair, do understand above concept of time, as every
urban development project is some kind of project/ programme management only,
applied in a spatial context; but they also encounter another idea of time and
space, different from clock, calendar and spatial unit, which is sometimes
difficult to measure or interpret or even acknowledge. Here meaning of time and
distance may differ for different individuals/ groups, depending on age,
ability, gender, purpose, intention, aspirations, resources, geography,
culture, familiarity, temporal reference, psychological conditions etc. This
multifaceted idea of time and space is a reality different than minutes and
meters; distinctly observable in urban planning affair. For instance, the
centuries of idea of walkable distance or distance to be covered by bicycle or
cart and time consumed in travelling such distance may logically and
technically be measured in meters and minutes; but these distances and
associated travel time may mean different thing to a child, old person, person
with physical disability, people with special needs, person carrying weight or
child, a jogger, fitness enthusiast, a pro native, a lost tourist, a person
travelling to cinema and a person being taken to hospital while battling for
life. This idea and perception of time and space is further different depending
or use of powered vehicle, bike, wheelchair, horse cart or without these. Also
different in context of metropolis, city, small town, or suburb. A 500 meter
distance might be an easy distance for some and may feel like 10 miles to
other.
Its important to acknowledge that the "unit time" by the clock or
calendar which we are conditioned to use as a benchmark as an urban planner,
city managers or project/ programme managers, is somehow a weighted average or
a median of all aspects mentioned above, which are rarely widely discussed.
Simply put 500 meter walking distance for example to be understood as average
of what an athlete and an old age person can comfortably walk.
Irony is that there are possibly no scientific project management tool, method
or explanation that acknowledge this "other" kind of spatiotemporal
reality. Its just that urban planners, urban designers and landscape
architects, instinctively acknowledge and factor in a different kind of time
and space definition as well i.e. time beyond clock and distance beyond
mile-stone; and they make provisions for same and alike, to make city a better
place.

Involving designers and engineers in urban policy-making for assuring policy success and sustainable built environment.
Please visit my web page "Urban Tenets" at https://urbantenets.nl/
***********************************************
Policy by its very nature mostly remains abstract and sometimes open to interpretation. Urban policy aspirations related to built environment, have to eventually trickle down from vision to some form of project i.e., to brick-and-mortar level. Such policies also effectively have to reflect in improved quality of life and sustainability parameters like resource optimisation and energy saving, as an outcome. The successful outcome of policy hence depends on whether the policy is closer to ground reality or not.
In the long value chain of city-making affair, usually
“urban policymakers” and those who are actually responsible for execution of
project i.e., “designers and engineers”, represent two opposite ends of the
spectrum. These designers and engineers usually have little say in urban policy
formulation related to built environment. This is because the process and
information flow in public institutional hierarchy follows similar linear
project management model. i.e., top-down; characterised by similar hierarchy
and dyadic extremities. Urban policy making though try to represent and
incorporate insights from several stakeholders, still essentially remains a
top-down process.
First, analysing design project management itself, wondering
why design projects for instance tend to overshoot project budget and timeline?
Possibly for two main reasons, one in the top down project management process,
budget, client negotiation processes, etc. are usually dictated by management
higher up or departments/ experts different than planning and engineering (i.e.
procurement, financial, legal etc.), who sometimes may or may not be having
complete exposure to dynamic day to day design and execution challenges
involved in range of built environment projects or may be having limited
comprehension of how design and engineering project may get affected in
different possible scenarios and in different site context. Hence missing out
on critical insights of other bottom extreme of project management value chain,
i.e., designers and engineers; while formulating project budget and time frame.
The second aspect which may not be directly related to above policy discussion
but still noteworthy related to budget and time overshoot is that project
management processes like standard operating procedures (SOPs) and tools
including many software don’t explicitly factor in real-life challenges and
don’t allow to test scenario building, out of scores of possible scenarios
which may directly or indirectly impact project. Apparent from the fact that
how design projects and project management processes/ software struggled to
respond in real time at the onset of the pandemic, despite knowing that the
force majeure or Acts-of-God may become a reality at any time; despite having
robust industry accepted project management SOPs.
Designers and engineers here imply material experts, product
designers, furniture designers, interior designers, architects, building
engineering experts (MEP - HVAC/ Electrical/ Plumbing experts), ICT/
intelligent building management experts (IBMS), green building experts, infrastructure
experts (Dry/wet utilities), and now emerging circularity experts, who actually
design and execute the very constituents or building block or unit of built
environment or a city i.e., neighborhood, building/ housing unit or its
components, with all its material composition, furnishing, and appliances.
Designers and engineers including project managers, for
instance, are those who are usually most close to the reality of execution,
having the first-hand understanding of implementation and execution challenges
and palpable ground realities. But, urban policy formulation and sometimes
strategic report and action plans, related to built environment are
traditionally formulated at a level, and with the kind of resources or skilled
manpower involved, which may or may not be having the exact or hands-on
understanding of sometimes bitter realities of project execution and context.
Hence the insight and understanding of designers and engineers are vital for
policy making and may simply dictate the success or failure of policy. These
critical insights coming from designers and engineers are fundamental to policy
formulation as they control the unitary elements of built environment. Any
error or innovation at the unitary level has a multiplier effect. If we consider
the household or individual house as a constituent unit of the entire
population or city, for instance if we save or waste 1 kWh of energy per
household, then at a city scale it may result in unimaginable energy saving or
energy wastage. Designers and engineers are capable of offering such critical
insights, information, modalities, and tools (to save material and energy for
instance), which can be directly embedded into the urban policies related to
built environment, leading to assured measurable benefits.
Hence, if we incorporate the insights of designers and
engineers in the policy formulation, the outcome of the policy will most likely
be tangible, realistic and measurable. The abstractness of policy though is
acceptable, but it should not stop policymakers to factor in empirical
expertise and insights gathers from the other extreme end of city making value
chain, i.e., that which comes from designers and engineers.

Information, connectivity and networked life as understated but intrinsic qualities of smart cities.
Please visit my web page "Urban Tenets" at https://urbantenets.nl/
************************************************
The flow of information has evolved from farmers reading the sign of nature to estimate rainfall, to kingdoms relying on harbinger posted on hilltop communicating warning signs about approaching enemy convoys, to messages critical getting delivered through telegraph using Morse code, to modern-day ICT and mass media revolution.
Connectivity has not just emerged in terms of shortening the
physical distance but assumed a new role and meaning that simply didn’t exist
centuries back i.e., virtual connectivity.

Good architecture and interior design never fails to amaze.

************************************************
It took sometime to notice the thoughtful and aesthetic design of handrail of wooden staircase in the apartment. It has close resemblance with sine curve or Bezier curve, a sign of harmony these may be called. This handrail was very comfortable, ergonomic and playful because of such design.
Also had opportunity to visit old style Dutch house earlier
a couple of times, though was critical and puzzled at first, to see the steep
narrow indoor staircase, narrow steps, short risers and low height handrails;
different than those shown in pictures. Its almost felt like one needs to
undergo a crash course to learn to navigate those staircases effortlessly and
safely. While once again it took a while to get accustomed, one realises that
those low height handrails goes very well with steep stairs. Not just that
narrow staircase has space saving benefits, it also makes sense to have
staircase designed in a more flexible, organic and fluid manner compared to
modern popular geometric design as it fits in overall distinct architectural
typology, especially pitched roof ones, where series or maze of steps may lead
to different multilevel spaces, making it possible to make use of every possible
space within the building envelope. And we are not even talking about sudden
transitional quality of such staiways yet, which helps curb street behaviour
while climbing the stairs.
While some may still find Dutch stairways, especially old
ones, challenging to navigate, one thinks local/ traditional architects have
mastered the craftsmanship of stairs and handrail making in many senses.
The obvious challenges associated with narrow steep stairs
for instance related to age, abilities, and cargo handling are acknowledged,
but that remains a separate topic for discussion.
