Delhi

Delhi, India, contains approximately 16 million residents. The neighborhoods of Santosh Park and Uttam Nagar, both pictured here, are home to some of the city’s poorest people and contain its most built-up and densely populated land. Numerous studies have shown a correlation between the wealth of a residential area and its total number of trees and the amount of green space. This Overview is a particularly striking example of that trend.

Street Furniture

 

Somewhere; within our disturbed world; between ambitions and cultural taboos.. Street Furniture are considered "Facilitation of Prostitutions".. This freak notion comes from some disqualified City Managers; who happened to control the soul of the City and its Residents.. You may examine lots of silly ideas and implementations as such..; which in total hinder our urbanism..

Unfortunately, those ill-fated Managers forget that Street Furniture is a Right-to-City..!!

The socially unbeatable and oldest profession of the history; can not  be eradicate or diminish; yet it grows by many innovative ways with sprawl of cities and urbanism.. Many sturdies had worked on this issues, with no successful roadmap to get rid off.. 

Many City Managers had come to a conclusion to live with.. Just provide controls and permits to allow minimal disturbances to the conservative public.. and avoid or minimize the negative impacts on public entertainment, health and reputation.. However; the privacy of prostitution business drives the sex workers to use side and back streets rather than the main motorways..

The neueve concept of "Complete Street"; which had got support from Mobility, Greenish and Covid, had introduced interesting ideas of street furniture.. The brilliance of those ideas had saved the City Managers the cost of fights for the adequacy of street wellbeing.. Street Furniture are mostly commercialized by adjacent business owners; who would simply eradicate the prostitution from those streets by F&B prices and charges; in exchange of wider number of  "innocent" customers..

The Tracker..

 

Tracking activities, issues and actions is the core performance of project management. It is simply targeted to be on top of the project; knowing what happened and what is required; with full comprehension of impacts on baselines.

Project Managers would create or share various formats of the tracking templates, using paper of computer aided software to achieve this targets. There is no fixed or magic formula to be used; but the physical and the simple means for data entry and retrieving. 

The Tracker should follow the principles of document control; which are: 

    (A) Definitions, 

    (B) Domains, 

    (C) Activities and 

    (D) Risk Exposure. 

Understanding the magnitude of data entry and processing would justify assigning an executive for this processing. Both Quality and Project Management are all about processing data; while interpreting the reliable data is the success or failure stories.

Presentation of the data interpretation is the careful stakeholders management. Having a (1) Reliable Data, an (2) Intelligent Analysis and a (3) Communication Plan will not label the project successful without a (4) Stakeholders Protocol; and shall be a waste of time. Against every action; someone should be defined to approve or reject.

The followings are the simple structure of the tracker; or the tracking sheet. You may include unlimited data types and resources:

A: Identifications

1. Project ID
2. Date
3. Parties

B: Domains

1. Task ID (Packages, Workflow, NOC, etc.)
2. Planned Submission
3. Actual Submission
4. Planned Approval
5. Actual Approval
6. Approval Expiry

C: Activities

1. Ownership
2. Status on Date
3. Pending Actions
4. Planned Action
5. Expected Date
6. Forecasted Approval/Close

D: Risk Exposure

1. Impact
2. Mitigations
3. Authorization to Mitigate
4. Date of Mitigation Approval

Managers; particularly the tech-savvy, will compete in ways of interpreting the data, by static or dynamic graphics and models. This is not meant to disillusion the audiences, but to add sense of comprehension to it. It is an advanced applications of the well used Scheduling Graphics; such as Bar Charts..

Data Visualization become the new fashion; with growing Big Data and AI applications..

Leadership and Development

 Change requires not much effort.. but much attention and focus.. Applying effective leadership with organizational psychology is not difficult.. but most of our political and business leaders focus on their own-selves..

They speak much yet cordially care a little; despite how their audiences become charged and energetic..

الشعراء يتبعهم الغاوون

Therefore, we can't truly and effectively move ahead..!!

Contractual Liabilities

It is all who will pay for the damage??

Life Example
In one of the luxurious office buildings, a few years ago, a marble slab, a meter by two, fell from a height of 30 meters. Unfortunately, a CEO of an international bank was passing under it, yet; fortunately it fell after passing by only ten meters .. He was not injured, and exceeded the request compensation for endangering his life.. who is responsible..?

• Was the Design and Supervision Consultant; who designed the building and installation details 15 years ago??
• Or the Construction Contractor; who delivered the building 12 years ago??
• Or the Facilities Management Contractor; who has been managing the building facilities for 3 years??
• Or the Landlord; who himself takes over the management of the building??

مقارنة المسؤولیات التعاقدية بين كل من الإستشاري والمالك والمقاول
(تحرير: أحمد سالم بشير)

بادئ ذي بدء ، لابد من التنويه إلى أن كافة التعاقدات والعقود تخضع عُرفاً لما يتفق عليه الأطراف المتعاقدون ، ما لم يخالف الأنظمة والقوانين المحلية المعمول بها.

غالب المسؤوليات التعاقدية يتم التعامل معها من خلال وثائق التأمين التي تغطي كافة الاحتمالات وتعوّض المتضررين بالقيمة المالية التي يتم الاتفاق عليها .. وهي حتماً ترتبط بالصياغة القانونية للوثائق..
