Senior Lecturer at Northumbria University, Co-Lead of Urban Futures, Deputy Convenor of EPIC Research Centre
Our EPIC Research Centre and Northumbria Urban Futures workshop on Innovation and Urban Dynamics on Friday was full of interesting findings, thought provoking discussions and new questions. With apologies for multiple posts, I will try to capture some of these insights in four parts. (This is part two). The second keynote speech was by James Evans. James addressed the ‘innovation gap’ in the EU’s approach to sustainable cities. This approach aimed to make European cities more sustainable while also increasing the competitiveness of the European economy. This one-big-stone-two-big-birds strategy depended on fast diffusion of innovative smart city solutions and fell short of delivering two birds impact. James underlines the importance of organisational learning and institutional change in such large scale, experimental urban projects. Hence, James’s work indicates a 'learning gap', rather than an 'innovation gap' in sustainability of European cities. His talk initiated a rich discussion on infrastructure, power and inequalities, as well as the following interdisciplinary reflection on the EU’s smart city initiative. Accordingly, the EU overlooked some of the most fundamental insights of diffusion of innovations literature – that diffusion is a slow process, and adoption of technology most often involves its adaptation.

Cities and innovation have always been linked, but how exactly are they linked? Which dynamics related to industrial agglomeration and knowledge accumulation differ in cities compared to rural areas and/or larger regions? How do these dynamics affect regional growth and widespread inequalities? Join us for an interdisciplinary workshop that sheds light on these important questions on 19th April at Northumbria University. The workshop is a joint event of EPIC Research Centre and Northumbria Urban Futures with wonderful keynote speakers and panel discussants (below, in alphabetical order) James Evans, Fumi Kitagawa, Max Nathan, Simin Davoudi, Louise Kempton and John Shutt. Participation is free but registration is required via the link below. https://lnkd.in/eqMj7ieF

Join Us! | NC Main Street Conference Registration Opens the 2nd week of January! 2025 CONFERENCE THEME: Main Street: Creating Livable, Lovable Communities What makes a community livable? When critical needs are met, such as food security, availability of affordable housing, opportunities for education and healthcare, good jobs and economic growth in a community, and the infrastructure and connectivity to easily access services and resources? What makes a community lovable? When innovative and inclusive quality-of-life amenities are available, such as arts and cultural experiences, community engagement opportunities, and access to recreation to live a healthy lifestyle? Main Street: Creating Livable, Lovable Communities, the theme of this year’s conference, explores the downtown elements that are essential in creating great towns and cities, and how North Carolina communities are implementing economic development strategies that are bringing these livable, lovable elements to fruition.

An Interesting “lifestyle choice”…….not sure one can ever recall homelessness being something anyone actively chooses. Populist politics and the NIBYS have had the loudest voice for too long. Party Politics aside, Housing IS essential infrastructure and right now in the UK we need more high quality house of every type and tenure. The lack of decent homes is effectively eroding the fabric of modern society and there really does need to be a cross party commitment to enabling the delivery of new homes across the country that transcends political cycles. Politicians need to be campaigning on the basis of what they are delivering for the greater good as temporary custodians of a broader plan that sows the seeds for future generations.
John Lewis Oxford St last night. Shocking.

Welcome to our channel! In this video, we are diving into the city planning spotlight currently shining on Minneapolis, particularly with the upcoming National Planning Conference, NPC24, taking place at the Minneapolis Convention Center from April 13-16. With approximately 4,000 attendees expected, this conference will bring together planners, experts, and thought leaders to discuss the latest trends and innovations in urban planning. Minneapolis has been at the forefront of city planning ever since the release of Minneapolis 2040 in 2018, and this event will only intensify the spotlight on the city's growth and development. Our Planning Director Meg McMahan and her team have been actively involved in preparing for NPC24, collaborating with other City departments and community partners to showcase the best of what Minneapolis has to offer. Throughout the conference, attendees will have the opportunity to explore sessions on various topics, including music history, repurposed churches, and inclusive economic recovery on Lake Street. Join us as we delve into Minneapolis's past, present, and future through the lens of city planning at NPC24.
