• Introduction to each other
Urban-imPulse.eu
• Introduction to theme The aim of the workshop is to share examples of initiatives where places are learning and innovating, to identify opportunities for places to collaborate and where Academicians can work with places. Not WHY but HOW, a Producers’ Role

• What’s going on outside?? Civic Society - Towards a Collaborative Urbanism It is changing!! Dutch “Scientific Advisory Board to the Government” says:
Government should 1. Stimulate
create conditions & induce
2. Facilitate 3. Act as Regulator and Legislator Urban-imPulse.eu
• What’s going on outside?? Collaborative planning – producing together The city is a collective endeavour, often of conflicting interests. Successful cities recognise the value of collaboration to provide a more successful platform from which to compete. The process of collaborative creation and production, from inception to completion and occupation, has replaced the wellaccepted practices of community consultation and participation in the process. Planning as a distinctive plan making and controlling function is becoming merged with a public role in development and production. Urban-imPulse.eu

• Examples Learning Cities Platform Event 2012 (AoU & INTA) on Places of Connection
Urban-imPulse.eu
• Places of Connection Theme: Places of Connection are places of intense environment, places of conflicts that turned to be places of opportunity.
Utrecht (NL) hosted the first Learning Event with the participation of Hafencity Hamburg, Bordeaux, Malmö, Cardiff, Tampere, Oslo, Stuttgart and Milton Keynes with the purpose to exchange basic principles for future development.
Five C’s were coined to help framing the debate on how to create complexity and
how to manage the spirit of change:
Connecting, Collaborating, Changing, Communicating, Controlling. Outcome principles: 1. Past makes the future; memorise & understand the past when building the future 2. Managing the quality of the expectations 3. Layering decision, hierarchy and sequencing; 4. Urban development through collaboration and trust 5. Develop architectural intelligence in the service of urban development

programme & projects -constructions: large+small, some linked, some independent -events: raise awareness, local & international
people -get people involved / let them do it themselves but also: induce initiatives
twenty years strategy, tackled in parts, completed in stages Urban-imPulse.eu

• Conclusions for Feedback 1. AoU can facilitate learning process 2. Learning process will ask a long-term commitment 3. Results should be implemented back into the own organisations. This is an under-estimated part of the process. 4.Learning from European examples is important
