World changing

Another website I came across is WorldChanging.

"WorldChanging.com works from a simple premise: that the tools, models and ideas for building a better future lie all around us. That plenty of people are working on tools for change, but the fields in which they work remain unconnected. That the motive, means and opportunity for profound positive change are already present. That another world is not just possible, it's here. We only need to put the pieces together."

The site is full of very interesting articles and ideas on making the world a better palace.

There is a whole section on urban living and cities:

"We live on an urban planet. For the first time in history, a majority of us live in cities. How we grow those cities, how we build neighborhoods, how we provide housing, how we choose to get around, how well we incorporate nature into the places we live - these are the challenges that will largely determine our future.

And with millions and millions of people moving every year from the countryside to the city, all of these difficulties seem even more insurmountable. Appearances, however, can be deceiving. For, along with the boom in urbanization, we're seeing a boom in urban innovation. Simply put, we're getting better at building better cities."

Urbanfields.net gets a facelift

Urbanfields1Urbanfields3Urbanfields5Urbanfields6

With only the second redesign in four years, the website of the CUE Institute gets a major overhaul of its structure: goodbye frames, welcome clarity.

The home of the Institute of Contemporary Urban Encounters, has just been fully redesigned. The entire site is now without frames, so the main sections can be linked or accessed directly by entering the appropriate URL, with the requested section typed after urbanfields.net slash, followed by the name of the section; like for example: urbanfields.net/sitemap or urbanfields.net/echoclub

The overall design remains pretty much the same, but the structure is now much more accessible.

The «About CUE» section has been completely redesigned, hopefully making its easier for visitors to get an idea of what CUE is about.

A few new or previously missing projects have been added, like loslogos.org (urbanfields.net/about/loslogos.html), the slides archive (urbanfields.net/about/slides.html), shows & exhibitions (urbanfields.net/about/exhibition.html) etc.

The «Showroom» section is new. It is what used to be the «Exhibition» and «City Dubs» sections. «City Dubs» (the movie and sound section) is now a sub-site to «Showroom».
«Showroom» is where submitted media and art works are placed that don't fit in the «fields» section; see for example «Int. / Ext. Hotel California» by Veronika Klancnik.
«Showroom» is also where we present our own short movies and slideshows.

Fieldreport, the CUE news and media site is now treated as what it always was: an external website, thus opening in a new window. Fieldreport can now be subscribed to using RSS (Real Simple Syndication, - news feeds for mobile devices or computers using RSS reader software such as NetNewsWire or Web-Browsers with RSS compatibility such as Firefox).
