about 97 per cent of the country’s waste is disposed of in landfills, while just three per cent is incinerated
A Quebec politician is on a mission to incinerate all Ottawa's garbage | Ottawa CitizenCanada is, for now, a landfill nation
A Quebec politician is on a mission to incinerate all Ottawa's garbage | Ottawa CitizenShe wants to build a waste-to-energy plant big enough to process 400,000 tonnes of garbage a year – all of the garbage from Ottawa, Pembroke, Renfrew County, Gatineau and other Outaouais municipalities
A Quebec politician is on a mission to incinerate all Ottawa's garbage | Ottawa CitizenTo understand this language of sites is to appreciate the metaphor between the syntactical construct and the complex of ideas, letting the former function as a three dimensional picture which doesn't look like a picture

Elements of Visual Interpretation - Natural Resources CanadaCombining an unfamiliar perspective with a very different scale and lack of recognizable detail can make even the most familiar object unrecognizable in an image
Elements of Visual Interpretation - Natural Resources Canadawe lose our sense of depth when viewing a two-dimensional image, unless we can view it stereoscopically so as to simulate the third dimension of height

Book Review - Designing Disorder: Experiments and Disruptions in the City -Democratizing infrastructure is a way to reintroduce agency
Book Review - Designing Disorder: Experiments and Disruptions in the City -city builders to find places where people already congregate and have a sense of ownership over the space
Book Review - Designing Disorder: Experiments and Disruptions in the City -transverse cross-sections communicate more about the connections within a space and can tell us more about ownership, transportation modes, and vertical connections. These more detailed views bring us closer to the experience of a particular place
Book Review - Designing Disorder: Experiments and Disruptions in the City -Sendra states that longitudinal sections communicate the narrative of place by exposing transitions between private, semi-private, and public spaces through barriers, fences, buildings, and pathways
Book Review - Designing Disorder: Experiments and Disruptions in the City -relinquish some control
Book Review - Designing Disorder: Experiments and Disruptions in the City -By contrast, an “open city” is where infrastructure is accessible and useable by more people. This could mean having additional water and electrical outlets in public places for general use or creating lighting and sound systems integrated into the streetscape and designed to enable different events, markets, or other uses
Book Review - Designing Disorder: Experiments and Disruptions in the City -“Disorder”, for example, is spontaneity enabled and describes what happens when people interact more fully and freely with their city. It is also only possible in the “open city.” The “open” and “closed city” refer to how infrastructure is managed. Cities are commonly “closed,” meaning their infrastructure systems are inaccessible and managed by municipal staff and experts

An Alternative History of the 'Radical' Suburbs - Bloomberguburbs have been around as long as cities have. In the third millennium BCE, the suburbs of Ur stretched miles beyond the city. In ancient Rome, the urban outskirts were where the nobility kept “country” retreats
An Alternative History of the 'Radical' Suburbs - Bloomberga register of human existence which corresponded at one point in time to a natural space of co-habitation that sequentially gets co-opted (produced) by the church, the state and finally bent around the interests of the dominant industrial-capitalist class
Lefebvre And Urbanizationurban was a term which operated both as a sociological potentiality as well as an effectively transhistorical category of space; both revolutionary and repressive, theoretical and quotidian

Counter Cartographies with Lize Mogel – MIT Center for Civic MediaCritical cartography is generally an academic term, looking at sites of power and political deconstruction of maps
Counter Cartographies with Lize Mogel – MIT Center for Civic MediaCounter cartography is producing maps that challenge the dominant narrative of a place or history from an explicitly political point of view
Counter Cartographies with Lize Mogel – MIT Center for Civic MediaRadical cartography is the practice of mapmaking that subverts conventional notions in order to actively promote social change
Counter Cartographies with Lize Mogel – MIT Center for Civic Mediasludge is part of the natural cycle of input and output however the city’s output is very removed from its body. It is mostly invisible
Counter Cartographies with Lize Mogel – MIT Center for Civic MediaWe have below-the-radar clues in the map that are clues to this counter narrative.

Counter Cartographies with Lize Mogel – MIT Center for Civic MediaWorking with the interstices between art and cultural geography, she connects the real history and collective imaginary about specific places to larger narratives about globalization
Counter Cartographies with Lize Mogel – MIT Center for Civic MediaBecause plastic production has doubled every 10 to 15 years, even if we were to stop making it today, so much plastic is already in use that more and more plastic waste would accumulate in the environment and, potentially, in our bodies for decades to come

What Happens When We Burn Out?Economic power, wealth, and social class are just names for the same thing at different stages in its life: economic power converts to wealth, and wealth to social class
Cities and AmbitionBecause ambitions are to some extent incompatible and admiration is a zero-sum game, each city tends to focus on one type of ambition.
Cities and AmbitionThe physical world is very high bandwidth, and some of the ways cities send you messages are quite subtle
Cities and AmbitionThis train movement also facilitates trade between the inhabitants of the cities of Mwene-Ditu, Mbuji-Mayi, Kabinda and its surroundings

Decolonizing Science: Undoing the Colonial and Racist Hegemony of Western Science | Journal of MultiDisciplinary EvaluationTo decolonize science thus means to undo the past and present racist and colonial hegemony of Western science over other, equally legitimate, ways of knowing
Decolonizing Science: Undoing the Colonial and Racist Hegemony of Western Science | Journal of MultiDisciplinary Evaluationmoving to recognize the contributions of indigenous peoples to the establishment of their collections and lay bare the historical links between botany and racism12. A similar acknowledgement of the colonial legacy of herbariums will be key to improving their equitability
Pressed for spaceA legacy of colonial exploration, herbarium collections were born from the desire to uncover the medicinal, culinary and industrial properties of plants — the exploitation of which further cemented the economic dominance of imperial nations
