Colour is much more than decoration. This medium definitely influences human beings –consciously and unconsciously. The IACC Chapter Europe, was invited in 2017 to create a new colour pallet for a City in Sothern Italy, maintaining the character and identity of the town. Eleven buildings of the centre were selected to be worked on. The collected 53 old colour samples were the base for the very careful analysis and the strong reduction to 21 nuances of the new pallet. Finally various colour collages were produced to show the community and the public of the city the change of impression - using just colour. Colour is definitely an absolute necessity for a balanced environment, indoors as well as outdoors. A medical statement says that more than 75% of all illnesses derive from stress: In this connection the stress diminishing property of colour is THE MOST EFFECTIVE one to take care of.   El color es mucho más que decoración. Este medio influye definitivamente en los seres humanos -consciente e inconscientemente. El capítulo europeo de la IACC, fue invitado en 2017 a crear una nueva paleta de colores para una ciudad del sur de Italia, manteniendo el carácter y la identidad de la ciudad. Se seleccionaron once edificios del centro para trabajar en ellos. Las 53 muestras de color antiguas recogidas fueron la base para el análisis muy cuidadoso y la fuerte reducción a 21 matices de la nueva paleta. Por último, se elaboraron varios collages de colores para mostrar a la comunidad y al público de la ciudad el cambio de impresión, utilizando sólo el color. El color es definitivamente una necesidad absoluta para un entorno equilibrado, tanto en el interior como en el exterior. Una declaración médica dice que más del 75% de las enfermedades se derivan del estrés: En este sentido, la propiedad del color de reducir el estrés es la más eficaz.

The article focuses on the origins of French culture in Palanga, a Lithuanian seaside resort, that go back to the years of the rule of the Tyszkiewicz family. The emphasis is put on Palanga Botanical Park (created before the end of the nineteenth century) as the most significant trace of French culture present in the resort and the seaside region until now. The specific symbols in the park created according to the will of the Counts Tyszkiewicz reflect the actualities of French culture. The importance of this space in the city is revealed, and Édouard François André’s principles of park creation are discussed in a new context. They are related to the dialogue that has been established between the residents of Palanga, the park, its creator, and his granddaughter Florence André since the first years of the independence of Lithuania. In order to give a meaning to Édouard André’s creation and to the relationship between the two countries, the correspondence between the great-granddaughter of the famous French landscape designer and the former director of the park, Antanas Sebeckas, is disclosed. It reflects the endeavour of these two personalities and its value for the international relations in representing French culture to the public. Florence André’s letters to the author of this article are also an important resource as she explains the reasons why the park plays an essential role in Palanga. It is shown how certain personal life events (Florence André’s wedding ceremony in Palanga, the park created by her great-grandfather) have become an inclusive part of the history of the town and represent intercultural relations and exchanges. The article is also based on some memories and narratives of the members of the local community in which the park features as a symbol and tradition of the city.

This dissertation examines the claim that Age Friendly Cities (AFCs) represents an effective and revolutionary policy approach to population aging. The AFC approach is a placebased policy program intended to enhance the ‘fit’ between senior citizens and their environment. Mainstream accounts of AFCs claim that the program represents a paradigmatic shift in the way we think about aging, to move away from an individual health deficit approach to one that seeks to improve local environments by empowering seniors and local policy actors. However, initial critical literature notes that while AFCs may offer the potential to expand social and physical infrastructure investments to accommodate diverse population needs, they are being popularized in a conjuncture where the public sector is being restructured through narrow projects of neoliberalism that call for limiting public redistribution. This literature calls for further empirical studies to better understand the gap between AFC claims and practice. I heed this call through a qualitative case study of AFCs in the City of Toronto; a particularly relevant case because the recent Toronto Seniors Strategy has been critiqued for being more symbolic than substantive. My research represents a critical policy study as I understand AFCs not as a technical policy tool but as a political object attractive to conflicting progressive and neoliberal projects that use rhetorical and practical strategies to ensure their actualization. My approach is normative as I seek to provide insight for a transformative ‘right to the city’ for senior citizens through the AFC approach. I use literature on citizenship to understand the multiplicity of political projects that seek to expand or narrow the relations between people, environments and institutions through the AFC program. This understanding is based on the meanings 82 different policy actors from local government, the non-profit sector, academia, and other levels of government make of their everyday work in creating age-friendly environments. The broad question I ask is: How do local policy actors understand the rhetoric and practice of AFCs in Toronto and how do these understandings illustrate particular expansive and narrow political projects that affect the development of a right to the city for senior citizens through this policy program? I begin with an initial Case Chapter that scopes age friendly policy work in Toronto from a ‘seeing like a city’ perspective that identifies the complex multi-scalar and multi-actor nature of this policy domain. The Recognizing Seniors and Role of Place Chapters then examine AFCs rhetorically with respect to how local policy actors understand the ‘person’ and the ‘environment’. The Rescaling Redistribution and Restructuring Governance Chapters explore the practice of AFCs, including how local policy actors understand their capacities to design and deliver age-friendly services and amenities and the institutional mechanisms at their disposal to action AFCs. My findings challenge the claim that the AFC policy approach is effective, let alone revolutionary. I learn from policy actors that narrow projects of restructuring work to assemble seemingly progressive rhetoric and practice around active aging and localism to reduce universal public provision, expand the role of private citizens and their families to provide care, and use local policy actors as residual providers of last resort. My research documents how more expansive understandings of senior citizens as rights bearers and the role of the public and non-profit sector to recognize and redistribute on this basis are also in operation. Understanding these political projects more deeply through the AFC policy program helps me to offer policy insight as to what is needed both rhetorically and practically to craft a more effective and revolutionary alternative AFC model based on a right to the city for senior citizens.

O presente artigo pretende abordar a experiência em acompanhar um professor de história da cidade de São Gonçalo, idealizador de diversos cursos no campo da História da Arte no município, cujo projeto “Historiando as artes” será o foco de nossa investigação. Temos por objetivo, pois, analisar as práticas envolvidas no Ensino de História e na atuação docente que possibilitam a produção de presença, conceito teórico relacionado à materialidade dos corpos, dos objetos e do mundo. Mediante esse entendimento, traçaremos uma narrativa das aulas, que foram ministradas a uma turma bastante heterogênea, partindo do entrecruzamento entre História Pública e Ensino de História para pensar as possibilidades e potencialidades da relação entre essas duas áreas.The present article aims to approach the experience of accompanying a history teacher located in the city of São Gonçalo, idealizer of many courses in the area of Art History in the town, whose project “Historizing arts” will be the focus of our investigation. Our objective is, thus, to analyze the practices involved in the history teaching and in teacher performance, which allow the presence production, theoretical concept related to the materiality of bodies, objects and the world. Through this understanding, we will draw a narrative of the classes, taught to a very heterogeneous group, considering the intersection between Public History and History Teaching to think about the possibilities and potentialities of the relationship between these two fields.

From the very beginnings of its founding, the city has had a great significance: started as the center of social life, in a diachronic sense it has become a place of gathering of different centers of power, the public space, as well as the space of the private - by weaving collective and individual memory into it. The latter is recognized in Tadijanović’s Poems of Dubrovnik, a collection of fourteen poems for which the poet finds inspiration in the Town of Poets, over and over again, during the seventy- years time span. It is the city he loved from the very first moment, but in which he was loved as well, thus he often comes back in his thoughts, linking past, present and future. We have highlighted the four phases of his writing inspired by the Eternal City and have related the theme-motive background with the poet’s age. It is noticed that, in relation to the youthful and playful first love, the worries, the enthusiasm and the exhilaration, his later lyric is pervaded by philosophical concerns about the meaning of life, death, transience and the life’s drab, but he does not therefor diminish the importance of Dubrovnik. With his first and last poem he creates a kind of alpha and omega of his Dubrovnik opus, signifying Dubrovnik as one perfectly finished mindset, by its cyclical reminding on the circle and thus on the reproducibility of the life cycle: birth - life - death - rebirth (through re-readings of poems, in the poet’s case).

More than any other single event, the seemingly endless wandering of the garbage barge Mobro 4000 symbolizes the frustrating situation we find ourselves in. The barge, laden with refuse from the town of Islip on Long Island, New York, set sail on March 22,1987, and roamed for 55 days from port to port down the Atlantic seaboard, along the coast of Central America, and into the Caribbean in search of a place that would accept its smelly load. None would. Eventually, after having traveled more than 9,600 kilometers, the barge returned to New York, where the waste was finally incinerated and the ashes placed in a landfill. A garbage crisis is at hand. The situation has not improved since the Mobro incident. As a society we are generating far too much waste, especially in North America. At the same time, places to dispose of it are becoming limited. The public and politicians have recognized the inherent dangers of existing landfills and are refusing to build new ones—or, as in the case of the Mobro, they are refusing to accept any more waste than is necessary. How did we get into such a mess? The first recorded regulations to control municipal waste were implemented during the Minoan civilization, which flourished in Crete from 3000 to 1000 B.C. Solid wastes from the capital, Knossos, were placed in large pits and covered with layers of earth at intervals (Wilson, 1977). This basic method of landfilling has remained relatively unchanged right up to the present day. In Athens, by 500 B.C. it was required that garbage be disposed of at least 1.5 kilometers from the city walls. Each household was responsible for collecting its own garbage and taking it to the disposal site. The first garbage collection service was established during the period of the Roman Empire. Householders tossed their refuse into the streets, and then it was shoveled onto horse-drawn carts and transported to an open pit, often located within the community. The bodies of dead animals (and sometimes people) were buried in pits outside the towns to spare inhabitants their odor.
