In an increasingly complex and uncertain world how can we create sustainable towns and cities?
Thousands of cities and towns across Europe are facing new challenges in an increasingly global economic climate. They are often part of larger city regions which offers smaller cities the opportunity to punch above their weight in many areas of inward investment and macro economic development. However, this is sometimes at the cost of local distinctiveness or priorities, such as tackling issues of unemployment, low skills, crime, poor environment and health. Applying the principles of sustainable development may be one way in which smaller cities and towns can address local issues without losing a wider city region context.
The conference aimed to inspire and stimulate discussion about leading regeneration practices in the UK and Europe as well as looking at whether a culture of innovation, collaboration and community activism will bring about long-term regeneration.
The video clips from the day included key note speakers Irena Bauman, architect; Laurent Gaillard, lead urban planner for Grenoble, France; and Charles Landry, author of 'The Creative City', who shared their experiences and stimulated debate about sustainable development.
Delegates also heard about good practice from cities across Europe including Vitoria, Rennes, Leipzig, Gothenburg, Berlin, Grenoble and Moenchengladbach and engaged in discussion about how these places are approaching sustainable development.
The conference was aimed at regeneration practitioners, planning experts and decision-makers from the UK and Europe.
