LCP Launch on Annual Congress AcademyofUrbanism

The LearningCitiesPlatform is launched during a workshop as part of the Annual Congress of the Academy of Urbanism in Bradford UK. Off course we do a workshop and not a lecture. We will have visiting members and participants experience HOW to Collaborate and make real use of Networking in Europe. And we won’t talk theory but show examples of exchanging knowledge and collaboration in Urbanism throughout Europe,  that have really worked in:

The first Learning Cities Platform Event in Utrecht, June 2012 with Bordeaux EurAtlantique, Hamburg HafenCity and Utrecht Station District (host) as Learning Cities. Tampere, Malmö and Cardiff were reference Cities who reflected on the presentations of the Learning Cities. These Cities did not present the usual stuff on facts & figures, but presented their plans, ambitions and achievements on the themes Change, Connect Collaborate, Communicate and Control.

From this first Event Learning Sessions were organised with Hamburg-Malmö, Tampere and Utrecht  Stadsgesprekken (City Talks) with AORTA Utrecht (Architecture & Urbanism Platform) with the second to be held at 10 June.

The Academy of Urbanism is a great platform of skilled, hands-om professionals who’s aim it is to exchange knowledge, make links between various projects and collaborate.

Cardiff Bay

Cardiff is Wales’ capital city, and Europe’s youngest capital.

With a population of 1.4 million peope, Cardiff has a thriving economy – particularly in the ICT, Creative Industries, and Leisure and Tourism sectors.  Cardiff is also developing a reputation in the Financial and Business Services sector.

Just minutes from the City Centre, Cardiff Bay is the newest area of the city and is one of Europe’s largest waterfront development projects, encompassing residential, business and leisure space.  Porth Teigr is part of this.

The masterplan for Porth Teigr envisages the development of a vibrant and environmentally sustainable mixed-use neighbourhood. Already underway, with the BBC’s Roath Lock Studios complete and occupied by such shows as Doctor Who, Porth Teigr represents a million+ sq ft development opportunity, including space for a myriad of businesses and 1,000 new homes. The 38 acre mixed use development will include four linked places which will work in harmony to bring about the new sustainable neighbourhood.
