The role of co ops in local economic renewalEd Mayo
Can you turn around neighbourhoods and foster sustainable renewal? Drawing on work I have been involved in over time, with hopeful examples and practical health warnings, this deck explores the role of co-operatives and community economic development.
John Daley looks at how Australasian economies and cities are changing. Despite mining and agricultural booms, economic activity is gravitating towards big cities and their centres. These new patterns create challenges: longer commutes; geographic divides that limit opportunities for both businesses and individuals; and put social fabric under strain.
To make the most of 21st century urbanisation - and share the benefits fairly, there need to be reforms to planning, transport and taxation. These are the core of the reform agenda for our times.

Introduction by Mr Hank Dittmar, Chief Executive, The Prince’s Foundation for the Built Environment.
From The Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment's Annual Conference 2009. The conference examined issues associated with globalisation and sought to identify better ways of meeting the aspirations of the burgeoning urban populations of the Global South and establishing settlements that are liveable, resilient and founded upon local culture and building traditions.
Smart Cities - Why they're not working for us yet.Rick Robinson
My presentation to the April 2016 Eurocities Knowledge Sharing Forum in Rennes. My focus was on describing Smart Cities as an economic and political challenge; and exploring the policy mechanisms that could be used to incentivise private sector investments in business and technology to support local social, economic and environmental outcomes. Further description and supporting evidence for these ideas can be found at https://theurbantechnologist.com/2016/02/01/why-smart-cities-still-arent-working-for-us-after-20-years-and-how-we-can-fix-them/
This deck supports the Auckland Conversation by Jeffrey Tumlin which is available to view online at: aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/conversations.
Jeff draws on his extensive experience in cities in North America and around the world with examples where communities have worked together to get the balance between movement and place right, delivering complete streets as parts of complete communities and drawing lessons for New Zealand along the way.

Metro mag editor Simon Wilson and curator Mary Jane Jacob address the debate surrounding public art and what it means for becoming the world’s most liveable city. View the entire event online at aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/conversations
Mary Jane Jacob is a pioneer in the areas of public, site-specific and socially engaged art. A professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mary Jane has held posts at Chief Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. In 2012 she was awarded the Curatorial Research Fellowship from the Andy Warhol Foundation, to support her investigation of the history of site-specific art from 1900’s to today. Through hundreds exhibitions, site-specific and community-based projects, and public programs, Mary Jane has worked with artists to expand the practice and public discourse on art as a shared process. Professor Jacob is also the author and editor of many key texts including Conversations at the Castle: Changing Audiences and Contemporary Art (1996) and Culture in Action: New Public Art in Chicago (1993).
Today, cities around the world are seen as the engines for sustainable regional economic growth. But the playing field for cities is changing dramatically.
Fundamental changes such as climate change, technological advances, increasing societal demands and shifting power from national to local levels are changing the playing field of cities worldwide. While many cities in emerging and advanced economies continue to thrive (including Auckland), it's uncertain whether such growth can be sustained overtime.
Within this context and utilising the assessment methodology, this presentation was given by PwC global experts Hazem Galal and Egon de Haas at an Auckland Conversations event, in association with Auckland Council. It considers how Auckland is coping and what Auckland needs to do differently in the future, to ensure sustainable success in a global context.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

PLACING COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT at
the HEART of its WORK.
4. • Lively, interesting high streets
with a mix of local shops and
quality brands.
• Streets and neighbourhoods that
are well designed, that reflect
local character and feel safe to
walk along.
• Parks, schools and shops within
walking distance of our homes.
• Homes that look like they
belong, that reflect local
identity but are also
contemporary and comfortable
inside.
6. An Urban Century
The pace of global urbanisation -- 2 billion more city dwellers
by 2030 -- leads to an assumption of mass production,
assembly line cities and tower block living. This endangers
local culture and distinctiveness, leads to social disruption
and possible future problems.
9. THE OPPORTUNITY ACCORDING TO MCKINSEY:
A LARGER CONSUMING CLASS
If we are to have 3
billion more
consumers, can we
also see global
urbanisation as a way
to engage billions in
the production of our
communities?
10. THE EVIDENCE
ABOUT SLUMS
•
. . .increasingly points to
them being a stage in the
process of urbanisation,
a platform for individuals
and families,and having
complexity and social
organisation of their own.
11. • The 20th Century notion of an
International style has dominated
approaches to meeting this
challenge.
• A another model is to build on
local identity, allowing cultures to
participate in the global economy
from a place of strength and
awareness.
• Place can be a framework for
building this, reinforcing social
integration and community
cohesion.
12. About The Prince's Foundation
The Prince's Foundation has been working in communities from
Galapagos to Kingston to empower community groups, build skills &
social capital and demonstrate models of urbanisation that build
sustainability by recognising local adaptation. We believe there are
some helpful tools:
• Enquiry by Design: Community Empowerment and Engagement
• A Culture of Building: Training and Skills
• Building Community Capital: An Integrated Approach
• Green and Natural Building for Resilience: Learning from Nature
and Culture
13. A tool bringing the right people
together to create real solutions
through intensive workshop
sessions designed to
accommodate continuous
feedback.
These stakeholders are actively
engaged in the planning and
design of their community,
ensuring practical, achievable
solutions for the vision to be
taken forward beyond the
workshop.

15. PLANNING REFORM
England has now reformed its planning
system, introducing a focus on localism
and community engagement.
• Presumption for Sustainable
Development
• Neighbourhood Plans
• Community Right to Build
• Custom or Self Build
• Social Investment: "Big Society
Bank"
16. LOCALISM BILL & NEIGHBOURHOOD PLANNING
"Neighbourhood planning will let people come
together at a very local level and decide,
together, where the new homes, shops and
businesses should go, and what they should
look. . .
This is a very significant change in the way we
think about planning. This is not a chance to
be "consulted then ignored," but to wield real
power. If approved by a majority of residents
in a local referendum, a neighbourhood
development plan must be brought into force
by the local authority.
Our aim with the Localism Bill is not to
prevent new building, but to promote it."
Greg Clark, Speech to Adam Smith
Institute, 2 Feb 2011

18. A CULTURE OF
BUILDING
The Prince's Foundation's
Summer School blends
theory and practice,
integrating practical
building, architecture and
urban design with
drawing and seeing the
local DNA of a place.
The course culminates in
a community project.
19. SKILLS AND
SOCIAL CAPITAL
After a number of years of
conducting summer schools
and courses in the UK, we
have done them in New
Orleans after Katrina, in
Jamaica in the Kingstonn
ghetto of Rose Town and in
Freetown, Sierra Leone. This
builds skills as well as building
social capital.
20. HRH The Prince of Wales, Richard Dimbleby
Lecture, July 2009:
“We need to ensure that community and
environmental capital is indeed put
alongside the requirements of financial
capital.
An example that would enhance both
community and environmental capital,
lies in the way we plan, design and build
our settlements. This approach
emphasizes the integration of mixed-use
buildings and the use of local materials to
create local identity which, when
combined with cutting-edge developments
in building technology, can enhance a
sense of place and real community.”
22. • Form follows function only works if function
doesn't change, but it always does: failure of
tower blocks, US suburban collapse and
flooding from channelizing river systems are all
examples of failed single order hard wired
solutions, predominant in the 20th Century.
• A C21 alternative is to design in resilience,
with simple, hackable and adaptable systems
that respond to changed conditions, whether
social economic or environmental
• We can learn how to do this by studying and
adapting from natural systems and many
traditional cultures: river systems and
sustainable urban drainage for example,
thermal mass and passive ventilation for
another.

23. THE ARGUMENTS
AGAINST:
1. The problem of large numbers:
going to scale is presumed to require
standardisation and mass
production.
2. The presumed cost of building
well and for the long term.
3. Increased urban population
demands mega densities.
4. Lack of awareness: it is a
condition to be endured not a
problem to be solved. "Demand
pull"
24. 1. The Problem of Large
Numbers: Learning from History
• Faced with the problem of
accommodating a rapidly urbanising
population during the Industrial
Revolution, Georgian builders
responded by building simple, replicable
streets of attached houses with pattern
books and then modern methods of
construction.
• They then individualised with a craft
layer, allowing adaptation to place, to
individual, and at the same time creating
a space for high value creative work.
This use of craft has substantial social
capital and human capital benefits.
25. • Apple's App Store is a standardised
platform with protocols that ensure
transferability and reliability, while
encouraging creativity adaptation
and specialisation.
• Might a similar approach be taken
to city infrastructure and building?
The Problem of Large Numbers:
Learning from the App Store
26. RATES OF
CHANGE
•
Blending fast and
slow, with slow
adding value and
difference.
•
Green and low tech.
•
A tool for
understanding how to
provide local identity
while competing in a
global economy
•

29. ADDRESSING THE
COST
OF BUILDING WELL
Providing a model for building
well which moves from
prototype through value
engineering to production,
addressing challenges of
customisation vs supply chain
efficiency.
34. The Natural House Is a
prototype for a low carbon
home that is natural, easy
to operate, and aimed at
ordinary people. Built at
the Building Research
Establishment, it is
undergoing testing and
occupancy evaluation.
35. Versions of the Natural
House have been built at
Britain's Ideal Home Show
for the last two years,
employing the same
principles, and visited by
over a quarter of a million
people each year, to show
people that being green can
be a positive choice.
It is being licensed to house
builders complete with
urban and siting guidelines.
