Dream States - Smart Cities and...

John Lorinc

"John Lorinc’s incisive analysis in Dream States reminds us that the search for urban utopia is not new. Throughout the book, Lorinc underscores the fact that a gamut of urban innovations – from smart city megaprojects to e-government to pandemic preparedness tools – only provide promise when scrutinized together with the political, economic, social, and physical complexities of urban life." – Shauna Brail, University of Toronto
   
"Dream States: Smart Cities, Technology, and the Pursuit of Urban Utopias takes us on a fascinating journey across world cities to show how technology has shaped them in the past and how smart city technology will reshape them in the future. This book is essential reading for policy makers, researchers, and practitioners interested in understanding the opportunities and challenges of smart city technology and what it means for city building." – Enid Slack, University of Toronto School of Cities
   
"“Utopia may be the oldest grift in the city-building business, but Dream States shows that technology is a timeless tool for turning the most ordinary of urban dreams – clean air and water, safe streets, and decent homes – into reality. As digital dilettantes try to sell us on a software overhaul, John Lorinc provides us an indispensable and flawless guide to the must-haves and never-agains of the smart city.” – Anthony Townsend, Urbanist in Residence, Cornell Tech, author of Smart Cities

Just Culture - Restoring Trust...

Sidney Dekker

A just culture is a culture of trust, learning and accountability. It is particularly important when an incident has occurred; when something has gone wrong. How do you respond to the people involved? What do you do to minimize the negative impact, and maximize learning?
This third edition of Sidney Dekkera (TM)s extremely successful Just Culture offers new material on restorative justice and ideas about why your people may be breaking rules. Supported by extensive case material, you will learn about safety reporting and honest disclosure, about retributive just culture and about the criminalization of human error.
Some suspect a just culture means letting people off the hook. Yet they believe they need to remain able to hold people accountable for undesirable performance. In this new edition, Dekker asks you to look at 'accountability' in different ways. One is by asking which rule was broken, who did it, whether that behavior crossed some line, and what the appropriate consequences should be. In this retributive sense, an 'account' is something you get people to pay, or settle. But who will draw that line? And is the process fair?
Another way to approach accountability after an incident is to ask who was hurt. To ask what their needs are. And to explore whose obligation it is to meet those needs. People involved in causing the incident may well want to participate in meeting those needs. In this restorative sense, an 'account' is something you get people to tell, and others to listen to.
Learn to look at accountability in different ways and your impact on restoring trust, learning and a sense of humanity in your organization could be enormous.

Dark Space Dynamics - The Hidden...

Dirk Fallon

For centuries, the human understanding of the universe has been shaped by what we can see—stars, planets, galaxies, and cosmic events bathed in light. But the universe is far more than what meets the eye. Beneath the glow of starlight lies a vast, hidden framework—an unseen architecture that governs motion, structure, and expansion across cosmic scales. This shadow realm, composed of dark matter, dark energy, and other unidentified phenomena, holds the secrets to the universe’s most fundamental operations. It is within this invisible domain that we uncover the true dynamics of space itself. To comprehend the visible cosmos, we must begin by understanding the invisible. 
The concept of dark space isn't entirely new, though only in recent decades has it taken a central role in astrophysics and cosmology. Early philosophers speculated about an aether or invisible medium that filled the cosmos, while later thinkers struggled to reconcile observed motions in the sky with the laws of physics. It wasn't until the 20th century, with advances in telescopes and mathematical models, that scientists began to realize that a significant portion of the universe’s mass-energy budget couldn't be explained by visible matter alone. Galaxies spun too fast, clusters held together too tightly, and the universe itself was expanding faster than predicted. Something unseen had to be influencing everything. That “something” is the foundation of dark space dynamics.
