Download or read book Connecting Places Connecting People written by Reena Tiwari and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-07 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is a better community? How can we reconfigure places and transport networks to create environmentally friendly, economically sound, and socially just communities? How can we meet the challenges of growing pollution, depleting fossil fuels, rising gasoline prices, traffic congestion, traffic fatalities, increased prevalence of obesity, and lack of social inclusion? The era of car-based planning has led to the disconnection of people and place in developed countries, and is rapidly doing so in the developing countries of the Global South. The unfolding mega-trend in technological innovation, while adding new patterns of future living and mobility in the cities, will question the relevance of face-to-face connections. What will be the ‘glue’ that holds communities together in the future? To build better communities and to build better cities, we need to reconnect people and places. Connecting Places, Connecting People offers a new paradigm for place making by reordering urban planning principles from prioritizing movement of vehicles to focusing on places and the people who live in them. Numerous case studies, including many from developing countries in the Global South, illustrate how this can be realized or fallen short of in practical terms. Importantly, citizens need to be engaged in policy development, to connect with each other and with government agencies. To measure the connectivity attributes of places and the success of strategies to meet the needs, an Audit Tool is offered for a continual quantitative and qualitative evaluation.

Download or read book Connecting People with Technology written by George Hayhoe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores five important areas where technology affects society, and suggests ways in which human communication can facilitate the use of that technology.Usability has become a foundational discipline in technical and professional communication that grows out of our rhetorical roots, which emphasize purpose and audience. As our appreciation of audience has grown beyond engineers and scientists to lay users of technology, our appreciation of the diversity of those audiences in terms of age, geography, and other factors has similarly expanded.We are also coming to grips with what Thomas Friedman calls the 'flat world,' a paradigm that influences how we communicate with members of other cultures and speakers of other languages. And because most of the flatteners are either technologies themselves or technology-driven, technical and professional communicators need to leverage these technologies to serve global audiences.Similarly, we are inundated with information about world crises involving health and safety issues. These crises are driven by the effects of terrorism, the aging population, HIV/AIDS, and both human-made and natural disasters. These issues are becoming more visible because they are literally matters of life and death. Furthermore, they are of special concern to audiences that technical and professional communicators have little experience targeting - the shapers of public policy, seniors, adolescents, and those affected by disaster.Biotechnology is another area that has provided new roles for technical and professional communicators. We are only beginning to understand how to communicate the science accurately without either deceiving or panicking our audience. We need to develop a more sophisticated understanding of how communication can shape reactions to biotechnology developments. Confronting this complex network of issues, we're challenged to fashion both our message and the audience's perceptions ethically.Finally, today's corporate environment is being shaped by technology and the global nature of business. Technical and professional communicators can play a role in capturing and managing knowledge, in using technology effectively in the virtual workplace, and in understanding how language shapes organizational culture.

This book was released on 2024-03-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The movement of men, materials, and goods has a paramount significance to achieve lasting progress of any region, state, or country. It is no doubt that transportation should be considered as one of the premier needs of any society for the timely fulfilment of economic, social, and cultural needs as economic compulsions at present-day have become turned with the “mobility factor”, It need not be overemphasized here that the needful movement of men, material, and goods to the potential employment centers, production centers, marketing places, and people centers, from faraway places, give enormous strength to the economy of any country. The absence of mobility questions the very survival of men and the consequent insurmountable problems jeopardize every effort to economic development. The development of interior and unexploited places of rich resources of men and material, the expansion of various kinds of services to the needy, the simultaneous development of other sectors in the country requires and should be rightly supported by the presence of the sound transport network. Transport is the lifeblood of civilization and constitutes an important item of infrastructure for economic growth. The significance of the transport sector lies not only in the specific services it renders but even more, in unifying and integrating.
