"we make up about a third of the mass of all land vertebrates (based simply on body weight), and the handful of animal species we have
engineered to become our food make up most of the other two thirds. Wild animals, pushed to the margins, constitute 5 percent or less. ..”

“…the social dynamics enabled by medieval cities were fundamentally similar to those of contemporary cities.”

5. Global ECONOMY :: CITY-clusters … McKinsey:: China “city-states”
City “Clusters”
> EU nations!
6. ECONOMIC drivers :: 100 CITIES … 80/20 rules:: power-laws
Cities and states are also members of international organizations. There are approximately 125 multilateral arrangements of subnational governments, including the
Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI), United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) or the Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40). It is difficult to find a city with
over 1 million inhabitants that doesn’t participate in international multilateral arrangements.
UN Goals?

7. People PowerLaws: Policy-makers dilemma?
Figure 1 - Exponential power curves characterize barriers to change …keeping up?
T- the power-curve for Technology “learning” …automates jobs.
S - the power-curve for Behavior-change… to adopt better-activities (services).
B – the business-model for growth…”beyond-SCALE” -> QUALITY-of-LIFE?
“push”
“pull”
10. Re-MIX use:: $10M per station
“[Who] ..thinks private automobiles will dominate the public realm in the next 100 years [?].
There’s an emphasis on quality of life …and the goal is to repurpose the transit system
11. Re-MIX use:: $360M per neighborhood
“The old formula for large residential project was luxury by aggregation... “
“People today are interested in buildings that are connected to their environment and neighborhoods”

Healthcare “epidemic”? …1-in-2 are diabetic (T1D, T2D)
There's no question that diabetes is a major cause of morbidity
and mortality in the United States; in 2012, the disease cost the
nation an estimated $245 billion in increased use of health
resources and lost productivity.
CHINA
China has overtaken the USA in
terms of diabetes prevalence:
Chinese diabetes population
stands at some 114 million
…with half indicating pre-
diabetes (493.4 million)!
China has the world’s largest diabetes epidemic

Most of us are aware that our cars, our coal-generated electric power and even our cement factories adversely affect the
environment. Until recently, however, the foods we eat had gotten a pass in the discussion. Yet according to a 2006 report by the
United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), our diets and, specifically, the meat in them cause more greenhouse gases
carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, nitrous oxide, and the like to spew into the atmosphere than either transportation or industry.
The FAO report found that current production levels of meatmeat contribute betweenbetween 14 and 22 percent14 and 22 percent of the 36 billion tons of "CO2-
equivalent" greenhouse gases the world produces every year. It turns out that producing half a pound of hamburger for someone's
lunch a patty of meat the size of two decks of cards releases as much greenhouse gas into the atmosphere as driving a 3,000-pound
car nearly 10 miles.

developed “Better Commons” applying IBM platform based
development approach and analysis of “the Last mile
problem”.

cities vision and research programs for EU.

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) together with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) have created the United for Smart Sustainable Cities (U4SSC) initiative, launched last July in Geneva. The U4SSC is a pre-standardisation group which focuses on the creation of recommendations and KPI to help the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SGG), in particular Goal #11 on the sustainability of cities and communities re

MIXED-USE: scale-free? … Pareto Principles (wealth, population, vocabulary... Behavior-patterns) -> 80% of balance can be a few things.
