Enabling community asset ownership and management
1) Communities have several routes to acquire assets, including traditional purchase, community asset transfer, community right to bid, community right to reclaim land, and compulsory purchase.
2) Locality's experience includes supporting over 1,500 community asset transfers annually and providing guidance on the community right to bid. Challenges include the time-consuming process, tensions due to cuts, demonstrating business cases for small assets, and skills gaps in communities.
3) Moving forward, Locality recommends sharing lessons learned, focusing on building management and energy supply, experimenting with viability models, and promoting community-led sustainable growth.

Presentation by Dave O'Brien of City University to the Cultural Intermediation Project Continuity Day, 27 September 2013
The New (old) Planning for the Big Society
This document discusses several proposed policies in the Localism Bill related to community empowerment, including the Community Right to Buy public and private assets, the Neighbourhood Right to Plan, and the Right to Build housing. It outlines key questions around designating assets and areas, criteria for plans, oversight processes, funding support, and engaging local partners. It also presents examples of community land trusts and housing cooperatives in the UK and argues that these "self-organising" models could play a larger role in housing provision and placemaking if given greater access to land and support.
The right to the city and its implications
Open Society Initiative for EastAfrica held a discussion on the right to cities. Find here the presentation made by Ronald Businge, a city rights expert.
São paulo lifestyle
The document analyzes the lifestyle in São Paulo, Brazil in terms of its alignment with sustainable development principles. It focuses on the city's transportation system and waste recycling/management. Regarding transportation, it notes issues like traffic, public transportation reliance on low-quality services, and fossil fuel dependency. For waste, it highlights a low recycling rate, lack of proper landfills, and limited community involvement in recycling. Overall, it argues that improvements are needed across policies, investments, incentives, and cultural changes to better align São Paulo's lifestyle with sustainability.

Presentation 4.1b Regulator led initiatives
This document discusses strategies for strengthening accountability in water and natural resource projects. It provides examples from South Africa, Tanzania, and Zambia of regulator-led actions to promote citizen participation and oversight of service providers. Key challenges discussed include the need for a paradigm shift towards partnerships between citizens, service providers, and governments to improve service delivery. Questions are also raised around ensuring citizen ownership of accountability mechanisms and selecting representative citizen groups.
Will Cousins Presentation Tcpa 19th March
The document discusses best practices for master planning urban extensions and new settlements. It emphasizes the importance of strategic thinking, engagement with local context, and creating conditions for economic vitality and quick delivery. Successful projects require a patron, promoter, and partner working together. The presentation provides examples of both new settlements like Milton Keynes and urban extensions like Corby that integrated planning, sustainability, and community engagement.
citiesofservicesuk
The document summarizes the Cities of Service model, which mobilizes volunteers to address key city challenges. It was piloted in 7 UK cities over 2 years with funding and support from Nesta and Bloomberg Philanthropies. Close to 10,000 volunteers were engaged across initiatives in areas like food access, aging, education, and neighborhoods. The model helped elevate the status of volunteering for councils and influenced them to see social action as a way to complement services. Councils continue working to embed the approach and share learning across the UK and Europe.
West of England Metro Mayor Candidate Manifestos
The document summarizes the candidate manifestos for Metro Mayor of the West of England. It outlines each candidate's policies on skills and training, transport and infrastructure, housing and planning, business and enterprise, and the environment. The policies focus on issues like apprenticeships, public transport improvements, boosting affordable housing development, supporting local businesses, promoting renewable energy, and protecting the green belt.
Dan Nicholls, Cornwall CC - Localising the benefits
This document discusses policies for sustainable energy and community involvement in energy projects. It notes that planning policies must support the transition to low carbon economies. Benefits of renewable energy projects do not automatically outweigh all planning concerns. There has been an increased emphasis on renewable energy and community benefits through initiatives like allowing communities to invest in and profit from local energy infrastructure projects. Neighborhood plans can help communities shape energy agendas and support community-owned renewable projects and local energy markets.
Don't Sell Your Waste
This document discusses the opportunity for councils to maximize the value of municipal solid waste (MSW) rather than selling waste management rights to private interests. It provides the example of the Hepburn Shire council which is developing an energy-from-waste model to convert organic waste into gas, electricity, and soil conditioner. Their collaborative model with other councils could yield $9 million in annual profits while cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The author urges councils to recognize MSW as a valuable resource and develop their own infrastructure and business models to ensure local communities receive the greatest benefits from converting waste into energy.

The WTERT Colombia Council was created to stimulate research and identify technologies for energy use and waste management in Colombia. It seeks to promote waste management and participation from universities, industry, government and other organizations. The Council meets regularly to discuss topics like waste-to-energy and establish relationships with other institutions. It also aims to offer training courses on waste-to-energy and held its second Pan-American conference on the subject in Medellin, highlighting the need for sustainable waste management in Colombia.
Lewes District Council - Community Engagement - Town & Parish Conference 2012
The document outlines a community engagement plan for the Lewes District. It discusses establishing governance rules for collaboration software, exploring liaisons between the local council and town/parish councils, and developing methods for better targeting information and consultations. Priority tasks include setting up pilot schools/colleges projects, producing templates for civic groups, and supporting local innovations in community engagement. It also describes new "Community Right to Bid" powers giving community groups time to develop bids to buy listed community assets being sold.

This document discusses the potential for U-CLTS (urban community-led total sanitation) to address sanitation challenges in urban areas. It notes that over half the world's population lives in urban areas, with rapid urban growth projected. Problems in developing country cities include lack of infrastructure, unequal access to services, proliferation of slums, and public health risks. The document presents a case study of Kalyani, India, where CLTS was successfully implemented in 51 slums between 2005-2009, resulting in the town being declared open defecation free. Key lessons included that areas of rural-urban overlap exist in slums, and that achieving behavior change through CLTS paved the way for later government infrastructure improvements to be
Draft Litter Management Plan
Dublin City Council has drafted a Litter Management Plan for 2016-2018 to reduce litter and keep Dublin clean. The plan reviews the previous 2008-2011 plan and sets objectives in the key areas of resources, partnership, and enforcement. It aims to improve cleanliness in Dublin over the next three years through an integrated approach using the city's resources, partnerships with citizens, and litter enforcement.

Emiko Thompson - Case Studies in Environmental Stewardship
The document summarizes the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Works long-term strategy for solid waste management over the next 15 years. It outlines the role of the department in advising on waste issues and implementing programs. It also discusses current waste quantities and the need for a sustainable strategy to increase diversion and utilize new technologies like conversion and waste-by-rail as existing landfill capacity will be insufficient. Key steps include disseminating environmental documents, approval by cities and the county board, and approval from the state regulator CalRecycle.
Putting People First in Porto Maravilha
The document outlines design principles for sustainable redevelopment in Porto Maravilha, Rio de Janeiro. It emphasizes putting people first by including favelas and their residents. It stresses the importance of connections by making the city more walkable and accessible. It also recommends small, transformative projects that serve residents' needs and activate streets to improve livability. The design principles are meant to guide redevelopment in a way that benefits current residents through a sustainable, community-focused approach.

Policy to practice: delivering Wales' national waste infrastructure programme
Policy to practice: delivering Wales' national waste infrastructure programmeAssociation for Project Management
The document discusses Wales' Waste Infrastructure Procurement Programme which was established in 2008 to help Wales meet EU waste directives and develop sustainable waste infrastructure. The £750 million programme leveraged private sector expertise and financing to deliver food and residual waste projects through public-private partnerships. It faced challenges from anti-incineration groups but successfully delivered new anaerobic digestion and energy from waste facilities, contributing to renewable energy targets and carbon reductions while creating economic opportunities. The programme was recognized for its collaborative procurement approach and strategic partnerships between government and local authorities.Infrastructure Seminar | Resilient Cities | Clare McKeown | Belfast City Council

- Belfast City Council applied to become one of 100 cities in the Rockefeller Foundation's 100 Resilient Cities program, which helps cities become more resilient to physical, social, and economic challenges.
- Belfast identified coastal flooding, infrastructure failure, and cyber attacks as potential shocks and overreliance on one industry, lack of social cohesion, aging infrastructure, and deprivation/inequality as stresses.
- Belfast was selected as one of four cities invited to Washington D.C. in June 2016 for the final announcement and will receive funding for a Chief Resilience Officer and resilience strategy and plan. This will provide access to expertise from other resilient cities.Saskia Warren: Connecting diverse communities into the creative economy? A ca...
This document summarizes a case study of female Muslim migrants in Balsall Heath, Birmingham. It finds that the majority of the population is Asian or Arab and Muslim. The area suffers from multiple deprivations. Through participatory cultural mapping and walking interviews, the study identified key places in the community where the women engage in cultural and creative activities, such as the mosque, parks, home, and college. These spaces provide opportunities for hybrid sacred and secular engagement. Events like weddings and the Eid Mela festival are also important for big event culture. The study aims to better understand how to include migrant experiences in the local creative economy.

This document discusses the relationship between universities and cultural festivals. It notes that universities are increasingly partnering with festivals as part of their public engagement and knowledge exchange agendas. However, universities are also facing budget pressures that make them more exclusive and corporate. The document considers different perspectives on what festivals represent, from temporary spaces of freedom to opportunities for resistance or commercial recuperation. It raises questions about the role of universities in festivals and how collaborations might enable public cultural programming or risk being co-opted by market forces.
Phil Jones: Project Overview
This document provides an overview of the Cultural Intermediation Project, which aims to enhance cultural intermediation between communities and the creative economy. It involves case studies in Birmingham and Manchester to examine how cultural intermediaries connect deprived communities to cultural activities. The project consists of work packages on valuation/mapping, history, governance, communities and interventions. It also involves community pilots, evaluations, and workshops to understand cultural values and design interventions. The goal is to produce publications, papers and presentations to disseminate the findings.
Dave O'Brien: Thinking about Some Cities
This document discusses the Some Cities photography project in Birmingham. It provides an overview of the project, roles of partner organizations, the evaluation process involving local participants, and key findings. Participants reported social benefits from interacting with others, increased confidence with photography skills, and a new appreciation for their city through the project. The evaluation captured personal narratives and development while documenting the social and cultural impacts of the project.
Paul Long: Culturing communities? Understanding intermediation and locality
This document discusses a research project exploring how cultural intermediation connects communities to the creative economy. The project aims to understand how intermediation engages hard-to-reach communities and how to measure the value of these activities. Key research questions examine how formal cultural intermediation has involved different communities and facilitated their connection to the creative economy. The investigations will take empirical perspectives from within communities in Balsall Heath and Ordsall to understand the dynamic sites of cultural policy implementation and cultural production.

Cultural Intermediation as the Practice of Governing
This document summarizes the work of a research project team examining cultural intermediation and governance. The team took an interdisciplinary approach, studying cultural intermediation through an arts and humanities lens. They examined cultural intermediation's role in both formal governance structures and informal everyday practices. Through baseline assessments, case studies, and diary-keeping with participants, the team explored how cultural intermediation connects and disconnects different cultural sectors and communities. Their goal was to understand how cultural intermediation could help "re-govern" creative cities to be more inclusive. The team planned to share their findings through academic publications, policy discussions, and local seminars.
Intro and welcome
This document provides an overview of a 4-year cultural intermediation project with the overall aim of enhancing how cultural intermediation connects different communities to the creative economy. The project is divided into work packages focusing on valuation and mapping, history, governance, communities, and interventions. Outputs so far include a published article, papers under review, chapters in edited books, and various conference presentations. The attached schedule outlines presentations on topics like governing grey spaces and community experiences, followed by discussion and a local history walk.

This document discusses the challenges of defining and measuring the value of culture in policy contexts. It notes that data collection and defining culture and cultural policy are longstanding issues in the cultural sector. The document also examines the complex relationships between culture, bureaucracy, management, and markets. It explores tensions between the promise of bureaucracy as a neutral mechanism and the unique nature of culture. Finally, it poses the question of what is meant by the "value" of culture.
2012 october ldp mapping cultural intermediaries
This document provides a literature review on cultural intermediaries. It begins by discussing theoretical conceptualizations of cultural intermediaries from academics like Bourdieu, O'Brien, and Hesmondhalgh. It then lists relevant Standard Industrial Classification codes and provides examples of case studies. The document outlines a value chain framework for cultural production and defines three types of intermediaries: creative intermediaries who create art, commodifying intermediaries who transform art into commodities, and outreach intermediaries who facilitate consumption. Tables are included that categorize example intermediaries according to the three types.
2012 april pl communities
This work package will explore how cultural intermediation connects communities to the creative economy through case studies in Birmingham and Manchester. It aims to understand how intermediation impacts communities and what cultural learning is facilitated. The research will use ethnography including interviews and events to examine how formal cultural intermediation has engaged hard-to-reach communities and supported their involvement in the creative economy. Local community researchers will be trained to help co-create knowledge and benefit from skills development. Planned outputs include academic publications, case studies, engagement guides and events, and online dissemination of lessons learned.
2012 april nm historic
This document outlines a research project examining the historical evolution of cultural intermediation. It discusses looking at periods of economic expansion and uncertainty to understand how cultural intermediation has developed and the interests it has served. The project will involve case studies and interviews in Birmingham and Manchester focusing on community organizations, performance groups, and alternative arts organizations from 1955-2005. Outputs will include data sets, papers, and a potential mobile/web application. It raises questions about comparing Birmingham and Manchester and whether a local community historian served as a cultural intermediary.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
