Into the wild: research 'impact' and the curious world of public policyJulian Dobson
Higher education institutions are increasingly concerned to demonstrate the 'impact' of their research on society. But what happens to research and evidence in the real world of public policy? Using examples from the context of the UK, this presentation outlines some questions researchers and institutions should be asking.
This presentation was part of a talk given to doctoral students at the University of Sheffield in May 2015.

They look at the problem of knowing 'what works' in regeneration and propose six people-centred approaches that can help us move forward.

The Myth of Participation, or how participation will deliver the Right to the...Roberto Rocco
Despiste the provocative title, this lecture delivers an account of how the idea of Active Citizenship has evolved in history and how this idea is related to the Right to the City. True citizen participation has the potential to deliver the right to the city. In this lecture, I explore a very old line of thought that goes from Aristotle and Plato, to Rousseau, Hannah Arendt, Henri Lefebvre and David Harvey, all of whom affirm the power of active or engaged citizenship in shaping the city while simultaneously shaping us.
Foreign Policy for an Urban World: Global Governance and the Rise of Citiesatlanticcouncil

2. Cities have the capability of providing something for
everybody, only because, and only when, they are
created by everybody
-- Jane Jacobs
The civil rights movement taught us to listen, and to
hear those whose voices had gone unheard for
generations. R/UDAT has taught us how to turn the
aspirations of citizens, and their descriptions of urban
value, into action.-- David Lewis/Peter Batchelor
Behind all the current buzz about collaboration is a
discipline. And with all due respect to the ancient arts
of governing and diplomacy, the more recent art of
collaboration does represent something new -- maybe
Copernican. If it contained a silicon chip, we’d all be
excited.

public engagement processes "often" (60 percent) or "sometimes" (21
percent)
• American Planning Association (2012) – “More than 50 percent want to
personally be involved in community planning efforts, including more
than half of Democrats, Republicans, and independents as well as
majorities of urban, suburban, and rural respondents.”
• Center for Public Interest Design (2013) – 75% of AIA members think
that architects should advocate for underrepresented groups, engage
local stakeholders in decision-making, and conserve resources.

What the Public Wants
13. Fremont Troll, Seattle
When urban democracy expands, cities flourish. The
placemaking outcomes – and the impact on people –
are nothing short of remarkable.
16. “Viewed from today, it is hard to believe the sense of risk
that the first developers in the Northwest Triangle felt as
they challenged a complete lack of interest in downtown
living when the R/UDAT came to town in 1983. The R/UDAT
team had demonstrated sound opportunity. Daring
developers, good planning and a favorable economy turned
opportunity to reality and ushered in metropolitan living in
the Pearl District on a scale unimaginable in 1983.” –
Paddy Tillett, FAIA
19. “When looking back on how far downtown Austin has come in the
last 20 years, many newcomers to Austin would be surprised by the
state of downtown in 1993. Few people resided in downtown and
retail in the urban core was nearly non-existent. Needless to say,
Austin was faced with a fairly dormant downtown…. From the plan
came a number of recommendations that began the wheels of
transformation to create the vibrant downtown we all know today.”
– Charles Betts, Downtown Austin Magazine
22. “It was an experiment in deep democracy. That is the beauty
of it –a true community effort, we were all in it together. It
was not created through a hierarchy of controlling leadership.”
– Steve Robinson, Santa Fe Railyard Community Corporation
25. “This opportunity for our community was a catalyst for
action, implementation and improvement. A primary
outcome has been that the process awakened
community pride and inspired a “together we can”
attitude.” – Nathan West, Community Development
