Building a Sustainable City | Paving the Way for a Greener Future
What is sustainable city?
A sustainable city is an urban area that prioritizes environmentally-friendly practices, social inclusivity, and economic prosperity. It focuses on reducing carbon emissions, promoting renewable energy, efficient resource management, and creating a high quality of life for residents. Sustainable cities aim to balance development with environmental preservation, social equity, and long-term sustainability.
I do not know who James Burks is, but I was recommended an artistic post of a stop motion this James Burks made. When I looked at it, liked it, and his message to continue making art was meaningful. So, I thought to share it with you.

Five Timeless Techniques for Mastering Knowledge
1. Spaced Repetition
Steps:
Identify Key Information: Select the material you need to learn.
Create a Study Schedule: Space your study sessions over increasing intervals (e.g., 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks).
Review Regularly: Revisit the material at each scheduled session.
Scientific Basis: Spaced repetition leverages the spacing effect, a phenomenon where information is more easily recalled when study sessions are spaced out over time. Research shows this technique enhances long-term retention compared to cramming.
2. Cornell Method
Steps:
Prepare Your Paper: Divide your paper into three sections: a narrow left column for cues, a larger right column for notes, and a summary section at the bottom.
Take Notes: During lectures or readings, jot down key points in the right column.
Cue Column: After the session, fill in the left column with questions or keywords related to your notes.
Summarize: At the end of your notes, write a brief summary of the main points in the bottom section.
Review: Use the cues to test your recall and understanding.
Scientific Basis: The Cornell Method promotes active engagement with the material and encourages self-testing, which are both linked to improved memory and understanding through the retrieval practice effect.
3. SQ3R Method
Steps:
Survey: Quickly scan the material to get an overview.
Question: Formulate questions based on headings and subheadings.
Read: Read the material carefully to find answers to your questions.
Recite: Summarize the information in your own words.
Review: Go over the material again to reinforce learning.
Scientific Basis: SQ3R is based on principles of active reading and metacognition. By engaging with the material in multiple ways, learners can deepen their understanding and retention.
4. Priming
Steps:
Preview Material: Briefly look over the material before diving into a detailed study session.
Set Goals: Define what you want to achieve with your study session.
Contextual Exposure: Expose yourself to related concepts and ideas in everyday life.
Scientific Basis: Priming relies on the brain's ability to make connections between related pieces of information. It can enhance learning and recall by creating a mental framework that makes new information easier to integrate.
5. Metacognition
Steps:
Plan: Before starting, plan your approach to the study session.
Monitor: Keep track of your understanding and progress during study.
Evaluate: After the session, assess what you've learned and how well you understood it.
Scientific Basis: Metacognition involves thinking about one's own thinking processes. It encourages self-regulation and reflective practices, which research shows can significantly enhance learning outcomes by promoting deeper understanding and strategic use of cognitive resources.

[image description: a digital art rendered in a semi realism style depicting a brown skinned, fancy shawl pow wow dancer. they sit down with their left knee propped up and their left arm resting on their knee. They have dark blue, black, and yellow colored regalia. They wear thin blue hair wraps around their braids, a yellow beaded choker, a yellow beaded headband, and blue beaded earrings with yellow accents. Their under dress has medium sleeves and is a shiny, dark fabric that glitters blue and purple in the light. a yellow shawl with a multicolored heart design rests on their right leg, with black fringes. a circular cropped image of an eastern tiger swallowtail resting on green leaves is overlaid next to the fancy shawl dancer, who's regalia and beadwork designs mimic the butterfly wings. end image description.]
