The Right-to-Sell - a National Housing Service?Danny Dorling
Keynote by Danny Dorling at the 'Housing Privatisation, 30 Years On: Time for a Critical Re-appraisal' conference, University of Leeds, July 27th 2010.
How will we live in the future: In cities of dreams or urban nightmares? Did you know that In 1800, only 3 percent of us lived in cities. Now it's 50 percent. 70 million people are added to this total every year. Obviously cities cannot keep growing in the same way. We have tough choices trying to make our cities livable for everyone. Yet, opportunities abound, if we are smart.

Did you know? Total global wealth just hit a new record. US and Europe are the main drivers, but also emerging markets like Asia Pacific and China. In China and India, millions have risen out of poverty to join the working middle class.
The bad news is that the rich and poor gap is not only chronic - it keeps widening. According to Credit Suisse and Oxfam the richest of the rich are getting richer. The top 1% wealthiest people now own 50% of all household wealth in the world.
At the same time, there are still far too many, who are living with far too little. According to the World Bank and Pew Research Centre, 2 billion people live on less than $3 a day and 71% of the world's population remain low income or poor (living on $10 or less per day).
Is this the kind of society we want - where a few have a lot and many have a little. Extreme unequal societies break with the democratic ideal and they are neither stable nor sustainable in the long run.

The Need for an Integrated Urban Public RealmSteve Wilson
RUDC Presentation Summary - January 2017
How can cities remain competitive and functional in our rapidly urbanizing world? Douglas Smith, AIA, AICP, Managing Principal at Perkins+Will Chicago, identified global and domestic pressures on the public realm and what this might mean for future city development. Using a variety of examples in Chicago, North American, and other global locations, including the Atlanta Beltline, Miami’s MI-Line, and Chicago’s Riverline, he highlighted the community, economic and social benefits of an improved and expanded public realm. He concluded with an appeal to the design community to be better advocates for public open space improvements.

Better Than That - Azimo and Migrants todayMichael Kent
It’s hard to ignore the fact that so much media coverage is painting migrants in a very negative light.
Here at Azimo this matters to us as many of the thousands of people connected with our business are migrants: our customers, our team and even our investors.
As a team, we wanted to do our bit to challenge what we believe are misconceptions, to bust some myths, and to celebrate the power of migration and migrants’ huge contribution to the countries they move to.
We know that we have a mountain to climb and the newspaper headlines are not the only problem. A study we conducted showed that 1 in 3 migrants in the UK have been the target of verbal abuse simply because of their country of origin. That's a staggering number.
We passionately believe that both British people and those migrants that call the UK home deserve better than that.
The report here looks at migrant myths vs reality. Take a look - we think the results will surprise you.
This is our protest and call to action for both natives and migrants who want to see a real perception change.
If you agree with what we’re saying, please share the word by sharing the report
With your help, we can prove that we’re all #betterthanthat

Beyond fire and ice: Mapping Iceland in the 21st CenturyBenjamin Hennig
Talk by Benjamin Hennig held at the 30th Anniversary Symposium of the Association of Icelandic Geographers (Félags landfræðinga), Reykjavík, 30th September 2016.
Abstract: The role of GIS and cartography in a country like Iceland seems obvious. With geology and the environment defining so much about Icelands geography, modern mapping methods provide the necessary tools to analyse and understand the manifold data that is collected in the field, and to support a wide range of applications in environmental sciences. But maps have so much more to offer and can tell very different stories not only about the physical environments we are living in, but also provide opportunities to take another look at the social environment that seems equally unique from an outsider’s perspective. Implications of globalisation have had a huge impact in Icelandic society, so that understanding the social transformations is one of the fields that should be on the agenda for mapping this island in our age. While it sounds an easy task, the challenges that are related to it are huge. This talk discusses some ideas of how the age-old tradition of map making could – or should – be advanced to see that country we are living in in a new light.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Preparing for "Peak Population": How the UK fiths within world demography
1. There is much talk of ‘peak oil’ and ‘environmental pollution’, but almost nothing said of ‘peak population’.
2. The map that is in the background to these slides shows population movements
from the United Kingdom of those currently alive.
3. Year 0
Go back in time 2000 years and this is how human beings were distributed globally.
Here area is drawn in proportion to population.
4. Year 1500
500 years ago almost none of these countries existed. Note how large Africa was before mass slavery.
5. Year 1900
One hundred years ago European population peaked, 24 years after condoms were widely publicised.
6. Year 1960
Fifty years ago the contraceptive pill was first used in affluent countries. Everywhere population growth was slowing.
7. Year 2002
Eight years ago a majority of people in the world were living in countries with below-replacement fertility.
8. Year 2050
In just over forty years time the world population is predicted by the UN to start declining.
This is where people will be then.
9. Year 2300
Africa continues to grow until 2300 while worldwide population falls according to the UN central projections.
10. For the first time since plague world population is about to shrink: So it does quickly in Europe
11. Year 1900: Wealth and Condoms
Population Peak in Europe: Falling fertility since 1877
This is how people were distributed in Europe when population growth was highest, and began to slow
12. Year 1960: The Pill
Final baby boom
The 1960s baby boom, the children of the 1946 boom, the grandchildren of the 1919 boom, are the last.
13. Year 2002: Nowadays
Diminishing Europe...
Today Europe relies on immigration to maintain population, services and its plurality.
14. Year 2050: World Peak Population
...and expanding Africa
Even with continued immigration at current levels Europe will shrink in its global population share
15. Year 2300: Furthest Predictions
Global Stability
It is a waste of built infrastructure to plan for Europe to shrink. The future will probably look very different to this.
16. The United Kingdom is currently home to 1% of the world’s adults but only half a percent of children.
17. A Children’s World
Map of the World’s Children
There are two billion children in the world – these are future carers of the old
18. An aged World
Map of the 100 year olds
The very oldest people are concentrated in just a few of the richest countries – often those with the least children
22. Net Immigration
This map shows how many extra people those countries which gain from migration receive.
23. Net Emigration
This map shows how many people those countries which lose population are losing.
24. Each country in the world experiences a different story that reflects its history
25. Where they are
The world’s ‘real’ population distribution
Within each country people concentrate in particular areas and are leaving other parts
26. Where they are
UK’s ‘real’ population distribution
Within the United Kingdom in recent decades population growth has been constrained to the south of England.
27. High density living is rare
Administrative extent of major urban areas in Britain
Only eight urban areas in Great Britain are substantially built up at much lower density than most major European cities
28. Sprawl: Encouraged by infrastructure
Major road network in Britain
Lack of investment in rail and too much motorway building has increased social polarised urban sprawl
29. Southern population concentration
Bankers in Britain
The spatial concentration of a bloated finance industry skewed population growth
towards the south in England as well as Wales and Scotland.
30. Areas currently losing out in Britain
Labour votes at the 2005 general election
The places that lost out most in recent years in terms of wealth, health, population influx and now (un)employment
were those in the north and in inner cities.
31. Born abroad
7.5% of people living in Britain were born abroad
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/05/born_abroad/html/overview.stm
Parts of Britain are now home to one of the most diverse pluralities of people in Europe.
32. Going abroad
More than 400,000 people left the UK in 2007
In equal number to those arriving, Britains move abroad. People leave in greater numbers during recessions.
33. Migration Patterns
Migration flows from and to the United Kingdom in 2006
Emigrants from the UK
Immigrants to the UK
The environmental impact of emigrants is much greater than immigrants – in total.
34. The United Kingdom
A crossroad in the world’s demographic change
Among the countries in Europe, the United Kingdom currently has fewer residents born abroad than Austria, Belgium,
France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland – and also fewer than Canada, the USA, Australia and New
Zealand.

“Now, for the first time in human history, a majority of people worldwide can read what you write. Some five out of every six children
in the world are now taught to read and write to a degree that only a minority of their parents were; a majority of their children will
probably have internet access. A hundred million young adults worldwide are now allowed to study in the hallowed halls of
universities each year. Education may still be hugely unjust in how it is distributed and may be in some ways becoming more unjustly
allocated, but there are many more people alive in the world today who have been given the freedom to learn right through to
college. This is not just many more than before, it is many more than all those before combined; more humans alive today have
been to university than all the human beings who have ever gone. The forebears of today’s university graduates almost all became
part of a tiny elite, in some way governing others and being rewarded with riches as a result. Only a very small minority of today’s
university graduates can become rich; there are simply far too many now for all but a tiny fraction to be very wealthy, or to have
much power, or both. Why should we expect the rest to accept this situation placidly? Fortunately, and far from coincidently, human
population growth is peaking at exactly the same time as our literacy and understanding explodes. It is not hard to be pessimistic,
but it is also not hard to be an optimist too given the circumstances we now find ourselves in.”

One hundred years ago European population peaked, 24 years after condoms were widely publicised.
Fifty years ago the contraceptive pill was first used in affluent countries. Everywhere population growth was slowing.
Eight years ago a majority of people in the world were living in countries with below-replacement fertility.
In just over forty years time the world population is predicted by the UN to start declining. This is where people will be then.
Africa continues to grow until 2300 while worldwide population falls according to the UN central projections.
For the first time since plague world population is about to shrink: So it does quickly in Europe
This is how people were distributed in Europe when population growth was highest, and began to slow
The 1960s baby boom, the children of the 1946 boom, the grandchildren of the 1919 boom, are the last.
Today Europe relies on immigration to maintain population, services and its plurality.
Even with continued immigration at current levels Europe will shrink in its global population share
It is a waste of built infrastructure to plan for Europe to shrink. The future will probably look very different to this.
The United Kingdom is currently home to 1% of the world’s adults but only half a percent of children.
There are two billion children in the world – these are future carers of the old
The very oldest people are concentrated in just a few of the richest countries – often those with the least children
Future population balance will depend primarily on population migration.
This maps shows where all the people who have crossed international borders since birth now live.
This map shows where all the people who have crossed international borders since birth were born.
This map shows how many extra people those countries which gain from migration receive.
This map shows how many people those countries which lose population are losing.
Each country in the world experiences a different story that reflects its history
Within each country people concentrate in particular areas and are leaving other parts
Within the United Kingdom in recent decades population growth has been constrained to the south of England.
Only eight urban areas in Great Britain are substantially built up – at much lower density than most major European cities
Lack of investment in rail and too much motorway building has increased social polarised urban sprawl
The spatial concentration of a bloated finance industry skewed population growth towards the south in England as well as Wales and Scotland.
The places that lost out most in recent years in terms of wealth, health, population influx and now (un)employment were those in the north and in inner cities.
Parts of Britain are now home to one of the most diverse pluralities of people in Europe.
In equal number to those arriving, Britains move abroad. People leave in greater numbers during recessions.
The environmental impact of emigrants is much greater than immigrants – in total.
Among the countries in Europe, the United Kingdom currently has fewer residents born abroad than Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland – and also fewer than Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand.

Some five out of every six children in the world are now taught to read and write to a degree that only a minority of their parents were; a majority of their children will probably have internet access. A hundred million young adults worldwide are now allowed to study in the hallowed halls of universities each year. Education may still be hugely unjust in how it is distributed and may be in some ways becoming more unjustly allocated, but there are many more people alive in the world today who have been given the freedom to learn right through to college. This is not just many more than before, it is many more than all those before combined; more humans alive today have been to university than all the human beings who have ever gone. The forebears of today’s university graduates almost all became part of a tiny elite, in some way governing others and being rewarded with riches as a result. Only a very small minority of today’s university graduates can become rich; there are simply far too many now for all but a tiny fraction to be very wealthy, or to have much power, or both. Why should we expect the rest to accept this situation placidly? Fortunately, and far from coincidently, human population growth is peaking at exactly the same time as our literacy and understanding explodes. It is not hard to be pessimistic, but it is also not hard to be an optimist too given the circumstances we now find ourselves in.” ( From Daniel Dorling: "Injustice: why social inequality persists, Bristol: Policy Press, April 2010“ )
