A short time after the January 2015 Paris attacks, the city was quiet, perhaps too quiet. Associated press reporters noted that the tourists have simply gone. In a mid –January news article by Thomas Adamson perhaps summed up the situation best when it stated: “Among the tourists who were still braving visits, many took comfort in the extra security presences.

The dearth of tourists however was short lived, as the French were able to assure the world that they had taken full control of the situation, employed some ten thousand troops to sensitive locales, and have given the impression that the terrorist attacks were an anomaly. The terrorism attacks in many parts of Europe remind us that terrorism is as much about purposeful negative marketing as it is about death and destruction.

Public space in the city is being continuously contested. The most compelling of these challenges comes from the recent terrorist attacks on cities across the world. While the awareness of the need to ‘design against terrorism’ and a demand for greater safety in public spaces has entered into citizen’s consciousness -given the perception of fear due to recent attacks- drastic security and surveillance measures usually go against a more open and inclusive public realm.

Detroit has come to symbolise deindustrialization and the challenges, and opportunities, it presents. As many cities struggle with urban decline, racial and ethnic tensions and the consequences of neoliberal governance and political fragmentation, Detroit’s relevance grows stronger. Why Detroit matters bridges academic and non-academic responses to this extreme example of a fractured and divided, post-industrial city. Detroit has long been portrayed as a metonym for urban failure, most often depicted through its ruins and abandonment. However, more recently, a new narrative of comeback has emerged. While both narratives depict parts of the city, they do not tell the entire story and need to be critically examined and placed within wider socioeconomic-, political-, geographic- and racial-contexts. This edited volume seeks to critically understand these contexts to examine both the lessons from Detroit’s recent history and the new and inspiring visions which can currently be found there. Rather than only seeing decline and abandonment, these visions and the scholarly pieces within the book offer hope for a fair and just urban future. Contributions from many of the leading scholars on Detroit are joined by influential writers, planners, artists and activists who have contributed chapters drawing on their experiences and ideas. The book concludes in a unique way with interviews with some of the city’s most prominent visionaries who are engaged in inspiring practices which provide powerful lessons for Detroit and other cities around the world.

This article examines two films, James Marsh's Man on Wire and Spike Lee's Inside Man in relation to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. It looks at both films as examples of the heist genre and explores the ways in which genre conventions enable the production of meaning about the terrorist attacks. The conventions of the heist film, it argues, help make sense of September 11 by producing a different set of relations to time and space that draw on the uncanny, rather than the traumatic, nature of the events. Narrating stories of transgression, both films place the horrors of September 11 in another context. Through the genre conventions of the heist, each film offers a view of New York in which the events of September 11 and the destruction of the World Trade Center stand as the center. Not yet complete in one, already destroyed in the other, the Twin Towers haunt these films. As Man on Wire and Inside Man each attempt to make sense of the world in which the city of New York is marked most powerfully by a profound absence, it is in their uses of the heist genre that they find a representational space in which to mourn the World Trade Center and the victims of the attacks.

Also so many contagious diseases which have been thought to be eradicated still continue to have mutations and endanger health. COVID-19(SARS-CoV-2) endemic started in the city of Wuhan, China in December 2019 and turned into a pandemic in a short time. When we look at the history, we see many other corona virus types (e.g. SARS, MERS) causing pandemic. This article provides an overview of the history and progression of the coronavirus through the COVID-19 outbreak, which is rapidly spreading and posing a threat. In addition, it is aimed to thank all healthcare professionals who work with great sacrifice all over the world during the COVID-19 Pandemic process and to use stamps, which are a great cultural treasure in terms of public health awareness.

Covid-19 spread rapidly and massively in a short time. Within 1 year, this virus has been able to infect 233 countries in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to make efforts to minimize the spread of Covid-19. One way that can minimize the spread of Covid-19 is by doing 3W (wear mask, wash hands, wait until others distanced at 1-2 meters) which is recommended by WHO. However, based on Task Force (SatGas) data, from health protocol disciplinary monitoring shows that the level of community compliance with 3W health protocols is still not satisfactory yet. The health protocol disciplinary monitoring, which has been done since November 18, 2020 shows a trend of decreasing individual compliance in wearing masks, maintaining distance, and avoiding crowds. Non- compliance in implementing this health protocol also occurs in the city of Surabaya, especially in Pucang Market. Based on the results of observations at Pucang Market, there are still many buyers did not wear masks, keep their distance, and did wash their hands intensively. The purpose of this community service is to socialize and make the community (buyers and sellers in Pucang Market) understand the ways to prevent Covid-19 transmission and understand the urgency of implementing 3W in Pucang Market. The method to achieve those purpose is distributing masks and socialization by sticking posters and distributing flyers containing education to prevent Covid-19 transmission with 3W. The result of this community service was the realization of  distribution of 350 masks, sticking posters and distribution  flyers containing  education to prevent Covid-19 transmission with 3W which received a positive response from both market management and market sellers and buyers that shown with their enthusiasm to read immediately and photograph the posters and wore the masks that was distributed to them. Socialization of 3W in this market is very important because the market is a fertile place to transmit the Corona Virus because of its crowded conditions. By socializing information  about  prevention  methods  and  the  importance  of  implementing  health protocols (3W) in this markets, sellers and buyers can prevent the transmission of covid-19. AbstrakCovid-19 menyebar dengan sangat pesat dan masif dalam waktu singkat. Dalam kurun waktu 1 tahun, virus ini mampu menginfeksi 233 negara di dunia. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan serangkaian upaya untuk meminimalisir penyebaran Covid-19. Salah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan untuk meminimalisir penyebaran Covid-19 adalah dengan melakukan 3M (memakai masker, menjaga jarak, dan mencuci tangan) sebagaimana yang direkomendasikan oleh WHO. Namun, berdasarkan data Satuan Tugas Pemantauan Kedisiplinan Protokol Kesehatan menunjukkan bahwa tingkat kepatuhan masyarakat terhadap protokol kesehatan 3M masih belum memuaskan. Pemantauan kedisiplinan  protokol yang dilakukan sejak 18 November 2020 ini memperlihatkan tren penurunan kepatuhan individu dalam memakai masker, menjaga jarak dan menghindari kerumunan. Ketidakpatuhan dalam menerapkan protokol kesehatan ini juga terjadi di kota Surabaya, salah satunya di Pasar Pucang. Berdasarkan hasil observasi di Pasar Pucang, masih banyak pedagang maupun pembeli yang tidak memakai masker, tidak menjaga jarak dan tidak mencuci tangan secara intens. Tujuan dari pengabdian ini adalah untuk memasyarakatkan atau menjadikan masyarakat (pembeli dan penjual di pasar pucang) mengenal dan memahami cara untuk mencegah penularan Covid-19 serta menjadikan masyarakat memahami urgensi penerapan 3M di Pasar Pucang. Adapun metode yang digunakan adalah dengan pembagian masker dan sosialisasi dengan penempelan poster dan pembagian flyer yang berisi edukasi pencegahan penularan Covid-19 melalui 3M. Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah terealisasinya pembagian 350 masker serta penempelan poster dan pembagian flyer edukasi pencegahan Covid-19 dengan 3M yang mendapatkan respons yang positif baik dari manajemen pasar dan pedagang pasar maupun pembeli, ditunjukkan dengan antusiasme mereka untuk langsung membaca dan memfoto poster yang telah ditempelkan dan menggunakan masker yang telah dibagikan. Sosialisasi 3M di pasar ini sangat penting karena pasar menjadi tempat yang cukup subur untuk menularkan Virus Corona mengingat kondisinya yang ramai bahkan sesak pengunjung. Dengan sosialisasi terkait cara pencegahan dan pentingnya menerapkan protokol kesehatan (3M) di pasar, pedagang dan pembeli dapat mencegah penularan covid-19.

The fast urbanization in many regions of the world has generated a high competition between cities. In the race for investments and for international presence, some cities have increasingly resorting to the territorial marketing techniques like city branding. One of the strategies of recent years has been to use of creativity and / or labeling of creative city for the promotion of its destination. This phenomenon raises a question whether the city branding programs have worked in accordance with the cultural industries of the territory or if such labels influence the thought of tourists and locals. This paper begins by placing a consideration of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) and the strategies of the Territorial Marketing Program of the city of Lyon in France, Only Lyon. It also raises the question the perception of the target public to each of the current actions through semi-structured interviews which were applied between May and August 2015. Finally, I will try to open a discussion the brand positioning adopted by the city of Lyon

In this regard, and in line with Ashworth (2009), three urban planning instruments are widely used throughout the world as a means of boosting a city’s image: (i) personality association - where places associate themselves with a named individual from history, literature, the arts, politics, entertainment, sport or even mythology; (ii) the visual qualities of buildings and urban design, which include flagship building, signature urban design and even signature districts and (iii) event hallmarking - where places organize events, usually cultural (e.g., European Capital of Culture, henceforth referred to as ECoC) or sporting (e.g., the Olympic Games), in order to obtain worldwide recognition.

Writers of the early nineteenth century sought to find new ways of writing about the urban landscape when first confronted with the phenomena of London. The very nature of London's rapid growth, its unprecedented scale, and its mere difference from any other urban centre throughout the world marked it out as demanding a different register in prose and poetry. The condition of writing the city, of inventing a new writing for a new experience is explored by familiar texts of urban representation such as by Thomas De Quincey and William Wordsworth, as well as through less widely read authors such as Sarah Green, Pierce Egan, and Robert Southey, particularly his fictional Letters from England.

Every child has a right to an education. In the United States, the issue is not necessarily about access to a school but access to a quality education. With strict compulsory education laws, more than 50 million students enrolled in primary and secondary schools, and billions of dollars spent annually on public and private education, American children surely have access to buildings and classrooms. However, because of a complex and competitive system of shared policymaking among national, state, and local governments, not all schools are created equal nor are equal education opportunities available for the poor, minorities, and underprivileged. One manifestation of this inequity is the lack of qualified teachers in many urban and rural schools to teach certain subjects such as science, mathematics, and technology. The purpose of this article is to describe a partnership model between two major institutions (The American Museum of Natural History and The City University of New York) and the program designed to improve the way teachers are trained and children are taught and introduced to the world of science. These two institutions have partnered on various projects over the years to expand educational opportunity especially in the teaching of science. One of the more successful projects is Seminars on Science (SoS), an online teacher education and professional development program, that connects teachers across the United States and around the world to cutting-edge research and provides them with powerful classroom resources. This article provides the institutional perspectives, the challenges and the strategies that fostered this partnership.
