SUMMARY:New Urban Diversities: London perspectives
DESCRIPTION:18.30 – 20.00 \nPlease join us for a discussion of how new diversities and (im)mobilities are lived in the contemporary urban space of the ‘world’ city. The discussion will be directed through a presentation of two key ethnographies\, both of which are based in London\, and engage with the accelerated diversification of the city through the lens of everyday life. \nSusanne Wessendorf’s book Commonplace Diversity: Social relations in a super-diverse context (2014)\, explores how the ‘diversification of diversity\, also described as “super-diversity”’ impacts local life in the London Borough of Hackney. \nIn her book\, Young Homeless People and Urban Space: Fixed in mobility (2015)\, Emma Jackson delves into the occupied spaces and traversed routes of young homeless people who converge in a day centre in central London. Together\, these important accounts expose new views of discrimination and conviviality\, in the context of an increasing unequal and diverse city. \nThis event and free and open to the public\, with no booking required. \n(Supported by an ESRC project on Super-diverse Streets: Economies and spaces of urban migration in UK Cities’\,  ES/L009560/1)

SUMMARY:The public animateur: place-based innovation and the smart state
DESCRIPTION:Regional innovation policy in the EU is 25 years old this year and the Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) programme is its latest expression. S3 makes enormous demands on the public sector at a time when public bodies are under unprecedented pressures from central governments that are in thrall to a pre-Keynesian creed that aims to balance the budget and shrink the state. This public lecture explores the tensions between the rhetoric of innovation (which enjoins the state to be more agile\, creative and experimental) and the reality (which is intolerant of failure and impervious to learning). These tensions are exacerbated in England\, where the subnational realm is further handicapped by the twin problems of institutional churn and institutional deficits. \nPlease visit the event webpage for more details.

SUMMARY:Cambridge's Quality Charter - How housing should be?
DESCRIPTION:Chair: Nicholas Falk\nKeynote Speaker:  Dame Kate Barker\nSpeakers: Robin Nicholson\, Ed Skeates and Marc Vlessing  \nIn 2014 URBED won the Wolfson Economics Prize by focusing on the pressures of growth being experienced by small and medium-sized cities. The essay looked at Oxford as a detailed example but\, in doing so drew heavily on the experience of Cambridge. In the late 1990s Cambridge started a process to explore how to accommodate its housing growth. It set out plans to build 70\,000 new homes and to capture the value created to invest in new infrastructure such as the guided bus way. URBED were asked to write the Cambridge Quality Charter that set out principles for the quality of the new housing being created.  \nWe concluded in the Wolfson Essay that the Cambridge example was probably the best example of a comprehensive approach to strategic housebuilding in the UK. It did however still fall far short of what has happened in Freiburg. The seminar would be an opportunity to review these issues and the progress that has been made since the Wolfson prize\, particularly through the political process at the election.

SUMMARY:Ways of knowing in neighbourhood planning: Policy V. Zine
DESCRIPTION:Policy: A policy is a deliberate system of principles to guide decisions and achieve rational outcomes. A policy is a statement of intent\, and is implemented as a procedure or protocol. \nZine: Zines are self-published\, small-circulation\, often nonprofit books\, papers\, or websites. They usually deal with topics too controversial or niche for mainstream media\, presented in an unpolished layout and unusual design. \nIn this event we unpick the logics of ‘policy’. Policy implies both rational ways of knowing the world and confidence in the ability for intended outcomes to be achieved through planned action. Given the complexity of ‘communities’ and ‘neighbourhoods’\, the number of people\, relationships and variables\, we seek to explore alternatives to the logic of rational intent and cause and effect. Through a series of different workshops which explore creative modes of knowing together and being together\, we will explore ways of knowing which emerge from the people concerned and connected directly to local and localized decision making. We will be focusing particularly on the role of the arts in local decision-making processes. We will be looking at community film -making\, young people and political processes and forms of cultural engagement within neighbourhood planning processes. \nThroughout the day we will document our journey with an alternative form of knowing and sharing – the zine. This day will be experiential and will also be about the concept of building community and making sense of representation in different ways\, constructing a space together. The day will end with an evening projection of films concerning neighbourhoods\, community and ways of knowing. \nFurther details on the event \nProject profile page

SUMMARY:Migrant Streets: Exploring Radical Visualisation
DESCRIPTION:International migration continues to be a key aspect of the city\, both shaping and being shaped by urbanisation. To explore the intersections between migration and urbanisation\, the city street provides a valuable empirical point of reference\, where migrant urbanisms are articulated\, negotiated and contested. For researchers of the City Street and migrant urbanisms\, data visualisations can be an effective and radical way to disseminate knowledge. Visualisations can effectively highlight the skilled participation of migrants in city-making and civic life\, which can potentially contribute\, refute and challenge mainstream urban narratives. \nThis symposium\, ‘Migrant streets: exploring radical visualisations’ on September 21st at LSE Cities\, London\, seeks to explore the radical potential of data visualisations\, asking how the visualisation can go beyond mere representation and become an exploratory tool for insights with an emphasis on social and political issues related to inequality and diversity in the urban context. \nThe symposium is part of the ‘Super-diverse Streets’ project funded by the ESRC (ref: ES/L009560/1). \nThis event is by invitation only.

SUMMARY:Global Urban Higher Education: the challenges and potentials of internationalisation: UCL Urban Lab
DESCRIPTION:Urban Lab+ London Symposium\, 16-17 September 2015 \nUCL Urban Laboratory and the Urban Lab+ International Network of Urban Laboratories will host a symposium on global approaches to urban higher education. \nThe symposium is a chance for a wide community of urban educators and practitioners to address how inter- and trans-disciplinary learning can enhance global knowledge and address international issues in a world that is both rapidly urbanising and globalising. It is not always clear how international and intercultural approaches can best be implemented in practice\, especially to ensure that urban education plays a constitutive role in addressing issues of inequality\, or global disparities in the production of urban knowledge or the resources to develop and extend expertise\, and this challenge will be at the core of the symposium. \nThe symposium includes: \n\npresentations by staff and students from the Urban Lab+ network on interdisciplinarity\, intercultural learning and practice-orientation in urban education\na panel discussion on internationalising urban higher education with contributions from Professor Caren Levy (UCL)\, Professor Michael Keith (University of Oxford)\, Professor Jane M. Jacobs (Yale-NUS College)\, Professor Alan Penn (UCL)\, Professor Jenny Robinson (UCL)\, and Kasama Yamtree (Community Architects Network).\nkeynote talks by Dr Adrian Lahoud (Royal College of Art)\, Professor Susan Parnell (African Centre for Cities) and Professor Jane M Jacobs (Yale-NUS College).\ntalks from over thirty urban educators\, researchers and practitioners who work in a wide range of contexts worldwide.\n\nFurther details

SUMMARY:Connected Core Cities Summit 2015
DESCRIPTION:Connecting the UK’s Core Cities\n11 September\, QE2 Conference Centre\, London\nWhy a joined-up approach to infrastructure and investment is critical to the future success of our UK economy. \nJoin us to help shape the national debate for investment\, infrastructure and devolution across the UK’s 10 Core Cities\, which deliver 25% of the nation’s economy and are home to 19 million people. Their importance as economic hubs has been acknowledged by successive governments and reflected in devolution policy. But without sustained investment in infrastructure\, and a more joined up approach to local public spending\, they are unlikely to achieve their potential. \nTo optimise growth and to create a balanced UK economy\, national policy needs to address the different growth and spending challenges that each of these regional economics hubs faces. \nThis conference will launch two critical reports. Bilfinger GVA will release an independent survey into the infrastructure requirements of the Core Cities and what investment might mean for productivity and for business growth. Core Cities will launch a new “Prospectus”\, calling for a joined up\, ‘place-based’ approach to the forthcoming Government Comprehensive Spending Review. \nIn this debate\, we will invite city and private sector leaders to identify what they see as the investment priorities for infrastructure; what approach to the allocation of public resources is needed from Government to realise these projects and what difference these could make to the regional and national economy. What new opportunities might this mean for UK and overseas investors and developers? \nSpeakers include:\n\nSenior Government Spokesperson\, TBC\nSir Richard Leese – Leader\, Manchester City Council\, Chair\nCouncillor Jon Collins – Leader\, Nottingham City Council\, Vice Chair\, Growth\nCouncillor Nick Forbes – Leader\, Newcastle City Council\, Vice Chair\, Reform\nCouncillor Gordon Matheson – Leader\, Glasgow City Council\nCouncillor Julie Dore – Leader\, Sheffield City Council\nCouncillor Judith Blake – Leader\, Leeds City Council\nMayor George Ferguson – Mayor of Bristol\nMayor Joe Anderson – Mayor of Liverpool\nJo Davis – Senior Director\, Planning\, Development & Regeneration and Regional Senior Director\, South West\, Bilfinger GVA\nFacilitated by Greg Clark – CBE\n\nWe hope you can join us for this highly topical and agenda setting debate. \nPlease RSVP to events@gva.co.uk. Places at this conference are strictly limited so book early to avoid disappointment.

SUMMARY:NIESR City Deals Conference
DESCRIPTION:City Deals have not only become an important part of local economic development strategies\, they now play a significant role in discussions of the future governance and government of UK city-regions. ESRC Knowledge Exchange Leaderships Fellows based at Policy Scotland are organising a seminar at which leading academics will take stock of the development of City Deals to date.  \nThe seminar\, held at the NIESR offices\, 2 Dean Trench Street\, Smith Square\, London SW10 3HE from 1300-1700 on 10th September will feature a systematic overview of City Deals\, which vary in their scale\, emphasis\, governance and spatial coverage. They include a range of approaches to prioritising\, financing and delivering investments. Different city-regions have encountered different issues in developing visions\, governance arrangements and closing Deals. The event will include discussion of the impact of the growing Deal programmes on public finances\, their interactions with a changing local government financing system and their implications for territorial equity\, issues that have not so far been widely aired.  \nOur programme\, which is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council\, is also considering ways in which City Deals\, in present or amended forms\, might serve as a workable model for significant\, longer-term devolution in England. Although Scotland and Wales will be getting further powers\, major cities in these countries have concerns that they could lose out if some of those powers are not handed on.  The cities agenda and the debate about devolution to nations are inextricably linked\, but are currently treated separately by the UK government.   \nThe seminar will be led by Professor Duncan Maclennan\, one of Britain’s leading regional economists\, and an international authority on city strategy having worked in both government and academia in Australia and Canada as well as in the UK.  Duncan will be joined by leading academic colleagues whose research is relevant to the changing economic\, fiscal and governance landscape arising from city deals. A panel of think tank representatives and practitioners from cities\, whose knowledge and insights are vital ingredients in this conversation\, will respond on the policy issues raised.  \nProgramme for the Day:\n1-1.30 pm. 	Sandwich lunch\n1.30. 		Introduction by Sir John Elvidge\, Former Permanent Secretary\, Scottish Government and Event Chair\n 1.35-2.30.	 City Deals: Origins\, Aims\, Progress and Challenges: Taking Stock.\n David Waite (Cardiff University)\, Duncan Maclennan\, Des McNulty\, Alice Oldfield (all University of Glasgow)\, followed by discussion\n2.30-3.15.

SUMMARY:Inequalities in Greater Manchester: Taking Stock and Taking Action
DESCRIPTION:The ‘Northern Powerhouse’ and ‘DevoManc’ agreements rightly focus attention on Greater Manchester’s economic growth and prosperity. But many parts of the conurbation remain among the poorest in the country\, and large inequalities of treatment\, opportunity and outcome persist between different ethnic and social groups. \nAs we look towards a Mayoral election in 2017\, how can we ensure that greater economic equality and social justice\, not just growth\, are at the heart of public and political debate about the future of the city region? To what extent can Greater Manchester be both a high growth and a high equity city? What strategies would be needed to achieve that goal? Meanwhile\, what are the most pressing problems now and what should be done about them\, in the new context of devolved powers and budgets? \nThis conference is organised by the University of Manchester as part of its Just Greater Manchester initiative\, which focuses on addressing inequalities locally. Leading national and local researchers will present work on inequalities in Greater Manchester across multiple dimensions\, providing an evidence-base for future strategies and action. \nThe event aims to bring together relevant stakeholders concerned about inequalities in a conversation about what should be done. What action should we demand from elected representatives and public bodies\, both national and local? What knowledge gaps need to be filled? How can public awareness of inequalities be raised? How can organisations battling different kinds of injustices and inequalities work together to create a fairer city as well as a more prosperous one? \nConfirmed speakers include: Sir John Hills (LSE) Professor Karel Williams (University of Manchester) Neil McInroy (CEO\, Centre for Local Economic Strategies) Right Revd David Walker (Bishop of Manchester) \nThe event is free to attend but booking is required via Eventbrite: Lunch and refreshments will be provided.\nJustGMinequalities @citiesMCR @SocialResponUoM \nFurther event details
