Eleições | A urgência de priorizar a crise climática - com Rodrigo Corradi
Para aprofundar nessas e outras questões fundamentais para o presente e futuro da população e do planeta, o convidado desta semana é Rodrigo Corradi, Secretário Executivo Adjunto do ICLEI – Governos Locais pela Sustentabilidade, uma rede global de mais de 2.500 governos locais e regionais comprometidos com o desenvolvimento urbano sustentável. Rodrigo, que atua com foco na tomada de decisão em organizações internacionais, destaca que questões ambientais não podem ser mais tratadas como pautas identitárias ou restritas a grupos específicos. Para ele, negar uma realidade que já está posta cria um espaço de extremismo e se preocupar com essas questões é algo que a gestão pública precisa fazer em todas as esferas, com urgência.
Ouça o episódio completo e entenda sobre a urgência de considerar as mudanças ambientais ao escolher representantes políticos nas próximas eleições.

Thinking About Thinking Machines: Monk & Robot
For episode four of our series on the history of thinking about thinking machines, David and Shannon discuss a very different sci-fi sensibility: Becky Chambers’ Monk & Robot series (A Psalm for the Wild-Built (2021) and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy (2022)). What would it mean for robots to ‘wake up’? How might robots teach humans about the nature of care and about the care of nature? And where do robots fit into a neurodiverse world? Plus: robots vs octopi.

Thinking About Thinking Machines: Isaac Asimov’s ‘Franchise’
In today’s episode in our series on the history of thinking about thinking machines, David and Shannon discuss Isaac Asimov’s 1955 short story ‘Franchise’, which imagines the American presidential election of 2008 as decided by one voter and a giant computer. Part prophecy, part parody: have either its predictions or its warnings about democracy come true? How does the power of technology shape contemporary politics? And why was Asimov’s vision of the future so reactionary?

Longer Crossings Kill More Pedestrians
Pedestrians face the greatest risk of automobile collisions when crossing a street: the longer a crossing, the higher their exposure is to oncoming cars. Despite the relevance of crossing distance, few studies have considered its variance within or across entire cities. Given that, we probed pedestrian crossing distance at the municipal scale, leveraging both OpenStreetMap and satellite imagery to quantify crossing distances at roughly 49,000 formal crossings (those parts of the roadway designated for pedestrians to cross), both marked and unmarked, at intersections and at midblock.
We measured formal pedestrian crossings throughout a dense European city (Paris [France]), a dense American city (San Francisco [CA]), and a less-dense, more car-centric American city (Irvine [CA]). This granular approach—covering roughly 49,000 total crossings—identified inter- and intraurban spatial patterns in the distribution of pedestrian crossing distance, including clusters of long crossings that likely deter walking and increase its risk. By overlaying recent pedestrian–vehicle collisions on these novel data sets we found that longer crossing distance correlated with increased likelihood of collisions, raising the salience of traffic-calming interventions.
