Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.



This map considered environmental, land use, infrastructural, cultural, and socioeconomic factors, as well as economic and demographic projections, and outlined opportunities and
constraints for urban development. It is hoped that this Plan will help to
create a city that is: A symbol of the Rwandan culture that serves as an
example for modern Africa; A livable community that supports a sense of
belonging, cooperation and healing; A model of environmental protection and
which minimizes pollution and waste;
- In sum: a model of environmental,
social, and economic sustainability.


This map gives a detailed account of the design and structure of roads and structures in the city. It also lays down strategies for combating the effects of natural hazards like floods.


Market evictions are considered a normal phenomenon, as long as they result from market mechanisms and are not “illegal” with regard to international legislation. Disguising a forced eviction as a
“negotiated displacement” is usually seen as “good governance” practice. It is
less risky, in political terms, than a forced eviction; it is less brutal and
accordingly less visible as it can be achieved following individual
case-by-case negotiations. Most observers consider that the very principle of
negotiating is more important than the terms of the negotiations, especially
regarding the compensation issue, even when the compensation is unfair and
detrimental to the occupant. Community organisation is a key element for
limiting the negative impact of market pressure on poor communities, as it
usually gives them better negotiating or bargaining powers. It is a
prerequisite for participatory planning and for the implementation of
accompanying measures in cases of slum upgrading or of displacement and
resettlement.

Your approach of people relatiuonship though ''BARGAIN'' is the key of your project. A map is a hudge tool, but an idea easily spread is a match!

Yo teach me something I forgot, thank you.

"Community organisation is a key element for

Wow, it's a lovely area. I am in awe of the natural beauty, it looks like a more natural environment, than the urban, concrete jungle I live in presently. Of course, I am becoming more and more interested in a return to a garden type existence. I've written about this:

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
