CSI.SP: Informal Sao Paulo by Jaap Klaarenbeek (18 Feb 2009)Jasper Moelker
‘Informal Practices’ will be the central theme of Jaap Klaarenbeek’s lecture on the 18th. Various instances of informality will be showed, the ‘magnitude’ of informality in São Paulo and the way it effects the city’s urban life and space. During the lecture several types and modes of informality will be distinghuished, as well as the way in which these practices emerged in São Paulo’s urban landscape, and the forms in which they use the urban space. In his lecture Jaap will shed a light on the tensions between formal and informal and the complex typologies they produce, as well as the symmetries and asymmetries between formal and informal ‘worlds’ in São Paulo. Jaap Klaarenbeek is graduating on an investigation on the topic of informality in São Paulo.

The 2008–2014 Spanish financial crisis began as part of the world Late-2000s financial crisis and continued as part of the European sovereign debt crisis. In Spain, the crisis was generated by long-term loans, the building market crash, which included the bankruptcy of major companies, and a particularly severe increase in unemployment, which rose to 29.16% by April 2013. - Wikipedia

AUTONOMA - Casa-Comuna Cooperativa, Asociación Cooperativa Taller de Arquitec...Autonoma Conference
In only three decades, Mesoamerica shifted from a traditional agro-export economic model to one based on services, trade and transnational finance—especially dependent on migrant remittances and global corporate capital. In a much tormented region with a stubborn history of rebellions and failures in making a less unjust society, Casa-Comuna Cooperativa was conceived in the context of the 2015 Guatemalan citizen uprising as a self-managed cooperative platform grounded on the non-speculative social production of housing. Mixed-income dwellers are supported by a crossed-contributions financial mechanism to counter urban segregation and income inequality. The project is based on a ‘right of use’ cooperative model for the collective ownership of housing in central urban areas. Within and against capital, an insurance-based data-mining cuasi-algorithm provides the backing for a communal investment trust that allows for collective financing—including migrant remittances—as a vehicle to productively link urban and rural members in the region. The cooperative is constituted by four modes of memberships—dweller-member, migrant-member, collaborator-member and investor-member—each participating with different co-responsibilities, and contributing in distinct capacities to the established communal trust. Dweller-members self-manage their living quarters and benefit from a work insurance and collective relief fund. Migrant-members, while not necessarily living within the housing cooperative, participate as long-distance collaborators and benefit from time-sharing a housing unit and the optionality for becoming dweller-members. Collaborator-members benefit from the cooperative’s cultural and self-education activities. And finally, investor-members have access to fair-economy investment possibilities linked to productive spaces within the cooperative’s quarters. Architecture and design are ultimately deployed as a self-management apparatus for the social inclusion and the production of communal living and working spaces.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

“BASQUE PUBLIC HOUSING POLICIES, A DIFFERENTIAL MODEL WITHIN SPAIN,
STILL FAR AWAY FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EUROPE TRADITIONS”
Javier Burón Cuadrado
Cuatrecasas Gonçalves Pereira Public Law Department
Ex-Vice Counselor for Housing of the Basque Government
Researcher at Ekiten Thinking UPV – EHU
2. “BASQUE PUBLIC HOUSING POLICIES, A DIFFERENTIAL MODEL WITHIN SPAIN, STILL FAR
AWAY FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EUROPE TRADITIONS”
MY APPROACH TO THESES TOPICS:
• I’M NOT A POLITICIAN (ANY MORE). I’M NOT A
(PROFESSIONAL) ACADEMIC. I’M NOT A BUSINESS MAN (BUT I
WORK WITH/FOR THEM).
• MULTIDISCIPLINAR FOCUS: LAW, ECONOMICS, POLITICS,
BUSINESS, SOCIOLOGY, ETC.
• I DON’T HAVE ANY TECHNICAL (ARCHITECTURE,
ENGINEERING, BIOLOGY, ETC) BACKGROUND.
• SUMMARY :
1. SPANISH HOUSING POLICIES IN THE LAST DECADES
2. BASQUE HOUSING POLICIES IN THE LAST DECADES
3. CURRENT EVENTS IN SPANISH HOUSING POLICIES
4. A PROPOSAL FOR FUTURE YEARS. 2
4. “BASQUE PUBLIC HOUSING POLICIES, A DIFFERENTIAL MODEL WITHIN SPAIN, STILL FAR
AWAY FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EUROPE TRADITIONS”
FROM THE 60’ TO CURRENT TIMES, IN SPAIN, HOUSING PUBLIC POLICIES ARE MAINLY
DEVOTED TO PROPERTY ACCESS BY THE USE OF TAX DEDUCTIONS AND FINANCIAL
PUBLIC AIDS, WITH ONLY MARGINAL PUBLIC BUDGETS FOR ACTIVE HOUSING POLICIES.
(“TIPOS DE INTERÉS SUBSIDIADOS POR EL ESTADO”, “DEDUCCIONES FISCALES A LA
COMPRA” AND “VPO EN PROPIEDAD DESCALIFICABLE”, ).
THE OBJETIVE TO ACHIVE IS ECONOMIC GROWTH AND EMPLOYMENT, RATHER THAN
TO EASE SOCIO-ECONOMICALY THE ACCESS TO ADEQUATE HOUSING FOR MIDDLE AND
LOW INCOME FAMILIES. SOCIO-SPATIAL BALANCE AND URBAN FOOTPRINT ARE ALMOST
NOT TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT.
IN RECENT YEARS THREE DEBATES HAVE BEING (AT LEAST NOMINALY) INCLUDED IN
THE PUBLIC AGENDA:
• THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CONSTITUCIONAL RIGHT TO ADEQUATE HOUSING.
• THE NEED TO CONVERT WITH EUROPEAN HOUSING PUBLIC POLICIES (PUBLIC
INTERVENTION, RENTAL STOCK, SOCIAL HOUSING, REHABILITATION, ETC).
• THE ENVIROMENTAL ISSUES RELATED TO REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY.
DESPITE THESE FACTS, MOST AGENTS IN SPAIN CONSIDER THAT ONLY THE MARKET
(LATELY, REMARKABLY THE FINANTIAL MARKET) HAS THE TASK TO PROVIDE HOUSING TO
THE PEOPLE.
PUBLIC INTERVENTION IS CONSIDERED NECESSARY IN THE “BAD TIMES AND PLACES”
(SOCIALIZATION OF PRIVATE LOSSES) AND INCONVENIENT IN THE “GOOD TIMES AND
PLACES” (PRIVATIZATION OF BENEFITS). 4
5. “BASQUE PUBLIC HOUSING POLICIES, A DIFFERENTIAL MODEL WITHIN SPAIN, STILL FAR
AWAY FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EUROPE TRADITIONS”
THESE SET OF VALUES AND POLICIES SUSTAINED DURING SEVERAL DECADES, FIRST IN
RELATIVE AUTARKY (DICTATORSHIP) AND AFTER WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND
GLOBALIZATION PROCESS HAVE LEAD US TO THE FOLLOWING SITUATION:
1) HYPERPRODUCTION (2.5/20/45 NEW UNITS PER 1000 INHABITANS vs. 2-6 IN MAIN EU
MEMBER STATES).
• 47 MILLIONS OF INHABITANTS; 25.5 MILLONS OF HOUSING UNITS; AROUND 550
UNITS/1000 INHABITANTS (THE HIGHEST AMONG BIG EU MMSS).
• MORE THAN 20% OF VACANT UNITS (2/3/6 MILLIONS, PLUS 15% OF SECOND HOMES).
2) SEVERE LAND CONSUMPTION: 0.4 MILLIONS OF HECTARES OF ARTIFICIALIZED LAND (1987-
2010); IN THE PREVIOUS 12.000 YEARS 0.8.
• LAND ACQUIRED FOR 2.8 MILLION HOUSING UNITS WAITING TO BE PROCESSED. HALF
OF IT, ALMOST IMPOSIBLE TO DEVELOP IN THE COMING YEARS.
• “URBANIZED DESERTS “, INFRASTRUCTURES WITH NO USE AND SOCIO-SPATIAL
SEGMENTATION.
3) SOCIO-ECONOMIC INACCESSIBILITY TO HOUSING:
• 1997-2007: HOUSING PRICES RISE MORE THAN 200% ON AVERAGE. LAND MORE THAN
500%.
• 2007-2012: HOUSING PRICES DECLINE 20% ON AVERAGE. LAND 80%
• 7-9 ANNUAL SALARIES NECESSARY TO BUY A HOUSE, EVEN NOW IN CRISIS TIMES;
MAIN EU MMSS 3-4. 5
.

THESE SET OF VALUES AND POLICIES SUSTAIN DURING SEVERAL DECADES, FIRST IN RELATIVE AUTARKY
AND AFTER WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND GOLBALIZATION PROCCESS HAVE LEAD US TO THE
FOLLOWING SITUATION:
4) RISE OF UNEMPLOYMENT: FROM 10% IN THE LAST DECADE TO MORE THAN 20% IN CRISIS,
PARTIALLY DUE TO REAL ESTATE DINAMICS.
5) OWNERSHIP IMPOSED CULTURE:
• MORE THAN 80% OF OWNERS; NO MORE THAN 10% OF TENANTS; ONLY 125.000
SOCIAL RENTAL UNITS (LESS THAN 0.5%).
• IN THE 60’s MORE THAN HALF OF THE POPULATION LIVED ON RENTAL.
• “TO RENT IS A WASTE OF MONEY” (“ALQUILAR ES TIRAR EL DINERO”) + MARKET AND
STATE PROMOTION OF OWNERSHIP.
6) FAMILY HYPERLEVERAGE AND RESIDENTIAL EMERGENCY:
• MILLIONS OF OVERMORTGAGED FAMILIES.
• MILLIONS OF UNDER WATER MORTGAGES.
• 300.000 FORCE EVICTIONS (MORTGAGES), PLUS EVITED TENANTS. HEADING TO 6
MILLIONS OF UNAPLOYED PEOPLE AND 0.5 MILLIION EVITED FAMILIES.
7) SYSTEMIC ECONOMIC RISK DUE TO FINANCIAL IRRESPONSABILITY: 150.000 MILLIONS (1.5
BILLION - short scale - 109 ) IN REAL ESTATE “DOMESTIC” TOXIC ASSETS (15% SPANISH DGP).
8) STILL DEPENDANT ON REAL ESTATE SOCIO-ECONOMIC “COLLECTIVE DRUG”: 60% OF
BANK CREDIT FOR PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES GOES TO REAL ESTATE; TODAY REFINANCING,
RATHER THAN FINANCING NEW URBAN DEVELOPMENTS OR OTHER PRODUCTIVE
28
ACTIVITIES.
30. “BASQUE PUBLIC HOUSING POLICIES, A DIFFERENTIAL MODEL WITHIN SPAIN, STILL FAR
AWAY FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EUROPE TRADITIONS”
IN THE LAST TWO DECADES THE BASQUE COUNTRY HAS DEVELOPED ITS OWN PUBLIC
HOUSING POLICY MODEL BASED ON THE FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES:
1) STRONG PUBLIC INTERVENTION
2) AIMED TO SOCIO-ECONOMIC ACCESIBILITY TO HOUSING
3) UNDENIABLE PRODUCTIVIST DRIVE. IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR = BUILDING NEW HOUSING
UNITS, MOST OF THEM DEDICATED TO PUBLIC RENTAL (ORUBIDE, VISESA AND
ALOKABIDE).
• BUT, DIFFERENT MARKET BEHAVIOR IN RELATION TO THE REST OF SPAIN: 7 NEW
HOUSING UNITS PER 1000 HABITANTS AND YEAR (20-40).
• LEGAL LAND RESERVES FOR PUBLIC HOUSING = DEFENSE WALL AGAINST HOUSE
PRODUCTIVISIM, LAND CONSUMPTION, SPECULATION AND MARKET CYCLES.
4) THE FIRST REGION TO SET A PUBLIC PROGRAMME FOR VACANT HOUSING STOCK:
BIZIGUNE (MOVILIZE VACANT STOCK TO SOCIAL RENTAL).
5) URBAN RENEWAL: MODERATE EFFORTS, VERY MUCH CONCENTRATED IN SEVERAL
PROBLEMATIC SPOTS (BILBAO LA VIEJA, SESTAOBERRI, PASAJES, ETC).
6) NEW PUBLIC TENURE FORMS: RIGHT OF SURFACE AND RENTAL, BESIDES OWNERSHIP.
LACKI OF CO-HOUSING AND COOPERATIVE METHODOLOGIES.
7) FIGHT AGAINST PUBLIC HOUSING FRAUD: PUBLIC CONTROL OF A DEMANDED AND LIMITED
30
SOCIAL HOUSING STOCK.

35. “BASQUE PUBLIC HOUSING POLICIES, A DIFFERENTIAL MODEL WITHIN SPAIN, STILL FAR
AWAY FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EUROPE TRADITIONS”
THESE GUIDE LINES AND MEANS WERE DIRECTED TO SEVERAL FUNDAMENTAL PUBLIC
OBJETIVES:
1. HOUSING AS A RIGHT AND NOT ONLY AS AN INVESTMENT.
2. KEY ROLE OF PUBLIC RENTAL STOCK (FROM ALMOST ZERO TO 20.000 / 40.000 RENTAL
UNITS IN LESS THAN A DECADE).
3. MULTIFUNTIONAL PUBLIC HOUSING STOCK. FIRST STEEPS TO A HOUSING PUBLIC SERVICE
• 65.000 FAMILIES WITH 30-50% AVERAGES HOUSING EXPENDITURE
• BUILDING OF A PUBLIC HOUSING STOCK
• ANTICYCLE INFLUENCE OF PUBLIC HOUSING STOCK IN PRIVATE MARKET HOSUING
PRICES.
4. INSUFICIENT EFFORT IN SUSTAINABILITY
• PRODUTIVIST DRIVE, RATHER THAN “RE” APPROACH (REHABILITATION,
REGENERATION, RENEWAL, ETC).
• BIZIGUNE
• INDIVIDUAL REHABILITATION PUBLIC AIDS.
• HIRIBER (BASQUE GOVERNMENT AIDS TO URBAN REGENERATION PLANS).
• ERAIKUNE AND INDUSTRALIZATION OF THE BUILDING AND REHABILITATION PROCESS.
35
36. “BASQUE PUBLIC HOUSING POLICIES, A DIFFERENTIAL MODEL WITHIN SPAIN, STILL FAR
AWAY FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EUROPE TRADITIONS”
THE SEVERE CRISIS IS CHANGING BASQUE HOUSING POLICIES VERY MUCH IN A SHORT
PERIOD OF TIME:
1. THE SEARCH FOR BUYERS, REGARDLESS SOCIAL CONSIDERATIONS, EVEN WITHIN THE
PUBLIC SECTOR.
2. INTERRUPTION OF PRODUCTIVE ACTIONS, DUE TO PUBLIC BUDGETARY CUTS.
3. DENIAL OF THE VACANT HOUSING PROBLEM IN THE BASQUE COUNTRY.
4. SELLING PUBLIC HOUSING ASSETS: LAND, HOUSING UNITS, BUILDINGS, PUBLIC COMPANIES,
ETC.
5. FROM BIZIGUNE (SOCIAL RENTAL OF PRIVATE VACANT HOUSING UNITS) TO PROGRAMA DE
INTERMEDIACION INMOBILIARIA (PUBLIC INSURANCE FOR RENTAL OF PRIVATE HOUSING
UNITS AT MARKET PRICES).
6. UDALEKIN (BASQUE GOVERNMENT AIDS TO TOWNS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF VACANT
PRIVATE LAND PLOTS … IN ORTHER TO RESUME PRODUCTION OF NEW HOUSING PRIVATE
PROJETS).
7. LEGISLATIVE OBJETIVE: TO REDUCE THE COSTS OF PRIVATE LAND DEVELOPERS AND TO
DECREASE THE LEGAL RESERVES OF LAND FOR PUBLIC HOUSING (75%-40%)
+ PERMANENT LEGAL PUBLIC REGIME.
8. POLITICAL LOGIC: THE PUBLIC INTERVENTION IS THE PROBLEM AND THE MARKET THE
SOLUTION. 36
38. “BASQUE PUBLIC HOUSING POLICIES, A DIFFERENTIAL MODEL WITHIN SPAIN, STILL FAR
AWAY FROM CENTRAL AND NORTHERN EUROPE TRADITIONS”
PROFOUND URBANISTIC AUTISM
THE DECLARE OBJETIVE OF THE NEW SPANISH CABINET IS, ONCE “FINANCIAL REFORM” IS
COMPLETED (SOCIALIZATION OF THE REAL ESTATE LOSSES OF THE PRIVATE BANKS), TO
RESUME HOUSING PRODUCTION (MONOPRODUCTION OF NEW HOUSING UNITS FOR
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP) AS A CORE SECTOR OF OUR ECONOMY AND A HEALTHY SOURCE OF
EMPLOYMENT.
• RECENT APELATIONS OF SENIOR OFFICIALS TO THE RETURN TO THE “SPANISH
MIRACLE” TIMES.
• THE NEED TO FLEXIBILIZE OUR “HARD” COSTS LEGISLATION IN ORDER TO PROMOTE
“DEVELOPMENT”
• THE CONVINIENCE TO AVOID SUSTAINABLE DEVELOMENT EFFORTS, SINCE THIS IS A
“FALSE” CONCEPT.
• THE ABUSE OF TAX DEDUCTIONS FOR OWNERSHIP AND THE ALMOST NONEXISTENCE
FISCAL AIDS FOR RENTAL OR RENEWAL.
• THE “SOCIEDAD PUBLICA DE ALQUILER” AND THE “RENTA BASICA DE EMANCIPACION”
HAVE BEEN CANCELLED, BECAUSE PUBLIC RENTAL STOCKS OR AIDS TO MODERATE
PRIVATE RENTS ARE “RUINOUS” BUSINESS AND PUBLIC POLICIES.
