Designing for social sustainability, presentation to RTPI Scotland 7th Octobe...social_life_presentations
Nicola Bacon's presentation to RTPI Scotland's centenary conference in Glasgow in October 2014 on Social Life's work on social sustainability, how this can be understood, actioned and measured.
A presentation given to the Centre for Social Relations at Coventry University, to demonstrate how Social LIfe's work can be used as a tool to develop better community and neighbourhood programmes.

Report of Social Life's work exploring how Malmö City can think about the comprehensive social and physical regeneration of its lower income neighbourhoods, by developing a new approach to placemaking that has the potential to be funded through social investment.
This presentation describes Social Life's work with the City of Malmö's Environment Department to develop a new placemaking model that can be funded by social investment. This work is part of the City's "Regeneration Dialogue", which aims to comprehensively regenerate the City's 1960's and 1970's apartment blocks. The work is part of the Social Life of Cities collaborative - a global innovation program run in partnership with Cisco and the Young Foundation.
This presentation was made at a TelePresence bringing together experts in social investment and placemaking from Sydney, London, New York, Malmo and Brussels.

As part of the Social Life of Cities collaborative, we are working the University of Chicago, Cisco and McCaffery Interests to create new ways to use digital technology to help people feel safer in Chicago's south side. In our first workshops, in July 2012, we discussed what blocks and what boosts community resilience on the south side, and designed four propositions for new ways to use digital technology to tackle these issues. Our second workshops, a year later in July 2013, focused on one idea: "Team Approach to Violence", TATV. We spent the day designing TATV, looking at how south sides use new technology and examaining the experiences of people from different ages and backgrounds. We will be working with our Chicago partners to pilot and evaluate the new approach. For info see www.social-life.co/project/tatv

1. SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY &
FUTURE COMMUNITIES:
Moving from concept to practice in the UK
Presentation to AiCe-BS 2012 Conference
Saffron Woodcraft
31 October 2012
2. 1. Social sustainability as an emerging planning
practice in UK / Europe
2. Is it good to be socially sustainable?
3. Measuring social sustainability:
an experimental framework
3. Social Life is a new organization with a long-heritage of
work on communities, planning & placemaking.
4. 200 years of large-scale planned new communities in the UK but still
relatively little known about what makes places thrive.
6. Is emerging work on social sustainability in “the
grey area between academic, policy and practice
discourse”?
Davoudi et al., 2012. Resilience: A Bridging Concept or a
Dead End? Planning Theory & Practice, 13 (2)
7. What is social sustainability?
• Social = ‘relating to society or its
organization’
• Sustainable = ‘able to maintained at a
certain rate or level’
Source: Oxford Dictionaries, 2012.
8. Multiple and conflicting
interpretations
• Equality, democracy and social justice (Sachs 1999; Agyeman
2008)
• Underdevelopment, basic needs, stronger environmental
ethics (Vallance et al., 2011)
• Social capital, human capital, wellbeing – relationship to
place & urban development (Colantonio & Dixon 2010;
Dempsey et al., 2011; Weingaertner & Moburg 2011; Murphy
2012; Magee et al., 2012)
• Preservation of social values, cultural traditions and ways of
life (Barbier 1987; Koning 2002; Vallance et al., 2011)
9. “ … [social sustainability] is a concept in chaos,
and we argue that this severely compromises its
utility and importance.”
Vallance et al., 2011. What is social sustainability? A
clarification of concepts. Geoforum, 42.
10. Green Cities, Growing Cities, Just Cities The planners triangle
Source: Campbell, The triangle of conflicting goals for planning, and the three associated conflicts.
Figure 1. S., 1996. Green Cities, Growing Cities, Just Cities? Urban Planning and the
Contradictions of Sustainable Development. Journal of the American Planning Association, 62
(3). Planners define themselves, implicitly, by where they stand on the triangle. The elusive ideal
of sustainable development leads one to the center.
12. Social sustainability as planning
practice
• Planning to support:
– Social capital
– Wellbeing
– Voice and empowerment
• Must be related to social and spatial
justice in built environment
13. Debate in planning practice: “… arguably
creates a space for innovation and change
that we have not seen for decades.”
Bertolini et al., 2011. Planning and the Recession.
Planning Theory & Practice, 12 (3)
15. Critical questions
1. What is the purpose of social sustainability?
2. Who and what is being sustained?
3. Why and at what cost?
4. Is sustainability what is needed?
5. How to translate concepts to practice without
losing integrity?
19. Social sustainability as a
planning framework
Source: Social Life, Design for Social Sustainability: a practical framework for building communities, 2012.

Defining urban social sustainability.
23. Social sustainability indicators
• Three dimensions, 13
indicators,
underpinned by 45
questions
• Majority of questions
from nationally
recognised surveys or
industry frameworks
• Small number of
created questions
24. scale national datasets that captured key issues within these two dimensions (datasets used were the Understanding Society
Survey, the Taking Part Survey, the Crime Survey for England and Wales, and the Citizenship Survey). A number of questions
were created for the social and cultural life dimension where appropriate questions did not already exist.
TABLE 2: NATIONAL SURVEYS INCLUDED IN THE ANALYSIS Data sources
British Household Panel Survey/Understanding Society (BHPS/US)
• Institute for Social and Economic Research (ISER), 1996 to present
• 100,000 individuals in 40,000 British households
• Data used from 2008-2009 Innovation Panel Waves 1-2
Taking Part (TP)
• Department of Culture, Media and Sport, 2005 to present
• 14,000 participants
• Data taken from 2010-2011 survey
Crime Survey for England and Wales (formerly British Crime Survey (BCS)
• Home Office,1986 to present
• 51,000 participants
• Data taken from 2010-2011 survey
Citizenship Survey (CS)

• 11,000 participants
• Data taken from 2009-2010 survey
25. Data analysis
The
• Data from residents survey Hamptons
benchmarked against national data OAC
& statistically tested categories
• Benchmarked against national
psycho-geographic categorisations
(OACs)
• Only results that had statistical
significance reported
• Site survey data assessed against
industry standards
• Created questions assessed
separately
32. Lessons from the work
• Private vs public sector accountability
• Analysis of underlying factors
• Contextual, qualitative work
• Snapshot vs longitudinal data
• Mixed methods and data sources
• Scope
33. Challenges and future work
• Social sustainability is complex and context
specific
• Requires serious consideration of how social
justice & equality translate to the built
environment
• More work is needed to understand what social
sustainability means at neighbourhood level to
ensure the policy agenda doesn’t overtake the
research agenda
