MANIFESTO The Academy of Urbanism is built on the expertise and engagement of over 500 leaders, thinkers and practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds. We embrace city management and policy-making, academic research and teaching, development, planning and design, community leadership and urban change-making, arts and cultural development, infrastructure and engineering, property law and management, politics and media. Our mission is to recognise, encourage and celebrate great places across the UK, Europe and beyond, and the people and organisations that create and sustain them. We work with places to identify and reinforce their strengths, and tackle constraints on greater success. Principles Urban settlements must perform at their fullest potential to advance the quality of human habitation and ensure the survival and recovery of the natural environment, at both a global and local scale. The practice of good urbanism can establish a high quality of living, nurture a healthy and creative way of life, support economic, social, political and cultural activity and deliver robust, distinctive and attractive physical environments.
1. Successful urbanism is the result of a collective vision, realised through creative and enduring relationships between the community, government, developers and professionals involved in its design, delivery, governance and maintenance. 2. The culture or cultures of the people and the ecology of the place must be expressed at a human scale and through both physical and social structures. 3. The identity, diversity and full potential of the community must be supported spiritually, physically and visually to sustain a sense of collective ownership, belonging and civic pride. 4. Vibrant streets and spaces, defined by their surrounding buildings and with their own distinct character, should form a coherent interconnected network of places that support social interaction and display a hierarchy of private, commercial and civil functions. 5. There must be a permeable street network with pedestrian priority that gives maximum freedom of movement and a good choice of means of transport.
6. Essential activities must be within walking distance and there should be a concentration of activity around meeting places. 7. Places must provide a diversity of functions, tenure, facilities and services; have a mix of building designs and types; and include a variety of appropriately scaled districts and neighbourhoods. 8. The social, cultural and economic needs of all inhabitants must be capable of being met without detriment to the quality of the lives of others. 9. Security should be achieved by organising the urban environment in ways that encourage people to act in a civil and responsible manner. 10. The pedestrian environment should be closely associated with active frontages at street level and there should be an appropriate intensity of use in all areas at all times. 11. The design of spaces and buildings should be influenced by their context and seek to enhance local character and heritage whilst simultaneously responding to current-day needs, changes in society and cultural diversity. 12. The public realm and civil institutions must be supported and protected by sound and inclusive
processes that respond to the local community and changing economic and social conditions. 13. Decision-making for the ongoing development and management of the urban fabric must engage stakeholders and the local community through public participation. 14. Diverse, accessible, affordable and active villages, towns and cities will encourage successful commercial activity, promote prosperity and support the well being of their inhabitants. 15. New and existing places must respect, enhance and respond to their local topography, geology and climate and connect to the natural environment within and around them. 16. Urban parks and other landscaped areas should provide space for recreation, encourage biodiversity and help support a balanced environment. 17. New urban forms should be capable of adaptation over time to meet changing needs and to promote the continued use of existing resources, including the built environment. 18. The built environment must seek to minimise the use of carbon-based products, energy and non-renewable resources.
This year’s edition of Space Place Life is even more special than usual. This celebration of our 2016 finalists coincides with our celebration of the first 10 years of The Academy of Urbanism. The Academy and the Urbanism Awards have grown together and are now inseparable. We now have 550 Academicians, 160 Young Urbanists and a new Friends membership which we expect to grow substantially during our second decade. We now also have an archive of 150 assessment reports, providing a unique resource for those seeking examples of great urbanism and evidence of how it can be achieved. We intend to increase our active use of this archive in the future and to make it more widely available through our work with other organisations and partners. We have made two visits so far to Rotterdam, our European City of the Year 2015, and expect to be making another in the near future. We will be returning to its co-finalists, Turin in 2016 and Aarhus in 2017, respectively. This year we have had a similarly rich selection of urban experience from which to choose our winners. It is a coincidence, but perhaps no great surprise, that our three Great Place finalists are all waterside locations. Bridges are particularly potent images of urban accord. Our Great Streets this year demonstrate how much we can learn from places that have had to face economic and social challenges. These historic streets show how important is an ability and a willingness to adapt.
The three European Cities this year provide examples of enlightened administration and popular visions of the future that have guided regeneration and growth that has strengthened their distinctive characters. If you know our finalist places, I hope our recognition of them will refresh your interest. If you don’t, then perhaps these words and images will encourage you to visit. They are all great, and we have met some great and inspirational people in our visits. We aim to continue our engagement with all the finalists, and help them to learn from and encourage each other. Thank you to all of our assessment teams, especially the leaders – Nick Childs and Francis Newton (Places), Geoff Haslam and Alastair Barr (Streets), Richard Guise and John Lord (Neighbourhoods), Tim Challans and Michele Grant (Towns), and Kerri Farnsworth and David Lumb (Cities); our Artist in Residence David Rudlin for the drawings; and our graphics team from John Thompson & Partners, Gillespies, and Lathams. Once again our Poet in Residence Ian McMillan has added his perspective on these unique places to provide a unique memento for each finalist. So many people have contributed, on behalf of the Academy and the hosts we have visited. I know all have gained enormously from it, and some long-term relationships have been established. The time and hospitality given and received during our visits reflect the qualities of great places. As essential components of Space Place Life, they make the work of the Academy endlessly rewarding.
Our three Neighbourhoods demonstrate how demographic changes, sometimes on a large scale over a short time-span, can re-boot the fortunes of a community and promote renewed enthusiasm and investment. The three Towns for 2016 reflect the diversity of England’s smaller urban settlements; from Yorkshire industrial town to West Country market town to Kent seaside town. However diverse, they have features in common from which we can learn.

CIT Y
BOLOGNA SAN SEBASTIÁN STOCKHOLM
Lots of cities say ‘Collaboration’ As though they mean it and some of them do; Bologna, though, has thought the concept through, From moments that hum with inspiration To streets that sing with regeneration With people at the centre. It’s so true That from a Facebook page and one or two Citizens armed with determination Something grows: they call it Citytelling, A story to a city from itself A story of ‘Yes, we can together!’ A hundred projects: the number’s swelling With thinking that defines Bologna’s health Changes how we do these things forever.
BOLOGNA
SAN SEBASTIÁN San Sebastián is a name that sings By the water and under the wide, wide sky Now it spreads its wings and begins to fly Through the changes regeneration brings: Seven villages tied with landscape’s strings To each other; now different rules apply. Here’s leisure, here’s housing, here’s where you try
To connect a city. A bike bell rings; You cycle the waterfront all the way With the sea on your left, land on the right Pass through a place that is starting to dance As San Sebastián wakes to a day Bathed in renewal’s astonishing light; Give history its due; give future a chance!
STOCKHOLM
Think of Stockholm as a long reply to Lots of questions that are constantly asked, By the task forces who are constantly tasked With finding how places change or try to. Stockholm needs a sonnet not a haiku About its green-ness, about air not masked By pollution; about islands that basked
In midnight sun, bringing the bright sky to Hammarby Sjรถstad, renewed and glowing, Built by the water that runs through the soul Of those who live here; renewable lives, With renewable energy growing And changing, all these parts can make a whole, Stockholm lives, Stockholm breathes and Stockholm thrives!
TOWN
FROME HALIFAX MARGATE
FROME
Let’s pan the camera, tighten shot and zoom Down to a town that rests in Southern hills A place of ancient byways, modern skills: What else could I be looking at but Frome? Imagine that this town’s a stylish room With art and craft along the window sills A cool space where the population chills
With WiFi access by an antique loom. Imagine that this town’s a theatre space Then pull the curtains wide, enjoy the show; This is a town where Fairtrade makes its home, Where independent shops show their proud face And independent minds know where to go. But take a tip from me: Don’t call it Frome!
HALIFAX This is a town that’s Yorkshire to its core, Mill chimneys rise into the bright blue sky And history’s question gets a sharp reply: ‘Where’s this place going?’ Step in through the door And walk across regeneration’s floor And see the rebuilt Piece Hall rising high To show that Halifax knows how to fly
Across the present and the future, soar Along the Calder Valley to this hub This lighthouse for the bustling region’s trade, It never rains, so you won’t need your macs Well, if it drizzles pop into the club: Collectivism’s how this place was made This Northern soul, this gem, this Halifax!
MARGATE Turner said these were ‘the loveliest skies’ And they look down on us as we’re strolling Passing the waves that sing as they’re rolling; Margate is a feast for ears and for eyes. Off to the gallery, wreathed in surprise: The shock of the new, always cajoling Always exciting, often enrolling New people for art’s endless exercise Class that opens the heart, stretches the soul; Then wander down to the Dreamland Expo Where the past and present both intertwine, Today and tomorrow swim in a shoal Of fish in a sea that Turner would know: We’re all works of art in Margate sunshine.
NEIGHBOUR HOOD
DEVONSHIRE QUARTER HULME OLD TOWN HASTINGS
DEVONSHIRE QUARTER SHEFFIELD
This Devonshire Quarter is a fraction Of what ‘The Devonshire Quarter’ can mean; Something that’s hard to define like a ‘scene’ Which I guess is a fluid interaction, An equal and opposite reaction. Stand here; when the lights go Devonshire green There’s seas of people who see and be seen
Who fling out ideas that get some traction; Like ‘measure The Devonshire Quarter in shops’ And ‘Why can’t it be The Devonshire Third?’ And ‘This Quarter has everything I need’ Put it this way: this quarter never stops It can be gazed at, smelled, tasted, touched, heard; This is A Sensual Quarter: agreed!
HULME
MANCHESTER
You shouldn’t generalise, never assume That you know just what’s going on round here; Walk through these streets then it all becomes clear That huge change is rumbling right across Hulme In hi-vis and hard hats; grand buildings loom, fill up with people. In times this austere This is a miracle so raise a cheer
And come here and learn, come here and consume! Layers laid on layers, a palimpsest A city trying to get things to go right To rebuild a nexus for work and play This is an inner city treasure chest It’s vibrant each morning, throbbing by night. Hulme is back. Well, it never went away.
OLD TOWN HASTINGS
Here, listen to the song of the Old Town, As the tide comes in and the tide goes out A town that was built by the sea, no doubt Is changing, has changed, turns itself around Stand by the Jerwood window and look And see what the Old Town is all about: Shopping with variety, eating with clout You can read the old town just like a book: Old Towning on a moonlit Friday night As the tide goes out and the tide comes in And we buy and drink and look and stroll And the Old Town shines like a lighthouse light; Bottle the Old Town, put it in a tin; Hastings has spirit, Old Town is the soul.
STREET
CAIRNS STREET DEPTFORD HIGH STREET OLIVER PLUNKETT STREET
CAIRNS STREET
LIVERPOOL
Remake the city map beneath your feet With care and love, imagination, art. It’s more than decoration this; a start Is made on redefining that word ‘street’; A place to live, a place to be, and meet The people with ‘locality’ at heart, Preventing it tearing itself apart
Using this to make its world complete. Just look and marvel how the canvas fills How all the living sculptures move around This picture has been signed with all the names This masterpiece is their collective wills; Listen to that regeneration sound: That’s Cairns Street, that is, phoenix from the flames.
DEPTFORD HIGH STREET LONDON
This really is a street of High ideals; A route through the heart of urban living, A street that you can’t imagine giving No for an answer; a café on wheels That used to be a train carriage? Yes! Feels Like it’s time to open up the striving Arches? Yes! Open spaces for thriving
Market stalls? Yes! Deptford High Street appeals To the part of me that wants to be a Flaneur; that gets off trains and wants to smile At the High Street; a fresh tablecloth spread Across Life’s café table; I see a Future for this High Street, this place of style And substance, feast for the heart and the head!
OLIVER PLUNKETT STREET
CORK
Step out with me and take a bracing walk Down a street that caters for every need Where here are the living rhythms indeed Built around shopping and singing and talk. This place is Oliver Plunkett Street Cork! Wander down it and this fine day will lead To somewhere magical, somewhere to feed, Life is a Specials Board written in chalk. Length of this street is the length of a day To wander and watch and sit down and rest Sunrise to sunset this space is a place Of regeneration with something to say: Streets that remind us they can be the best Oliver Plunkett Street setting the pace!
PLACE
IRVINE HARBOUR PEACE BRIDGE/EBRINGTON SQUARE SCALE LANE BRIDGE
IRVINE HARBOUR
IRVINE
This is a world built from water and light This is a world made from history and change This is a place unafraid to arrange The shapes of the past until they take flight Into a future that hums with delight. Irvine. The harbour’s long been an exchange For goods and ideas, a huge interchange
From screech-gull morning to long summer night. And now, as you walk by the harbourside And stop for a pint or to take in some art Think of the Bard and what he’d make of this Regeneration come in with the tide; He’d think it gorgeous. It would lift his heart He’d plant on its shining cheek Ae Fond Kiss.
PEACE BRIDGE/EBRINGTON SQUARE There is a geometry that builds a square An algebra of history: X plus Y; Which adds up to a bridge that seems to fly; You cross the water and you’re almost there. There is a geography that leads to where A meeting point of rivers and of sky And earth just simply makes you want to cry
DERRY~LONDONDERRY With joy; this place is everyone’s to share You go through the square. The Peace Bridge’s span Links up ideas and people as they walk A symbol of connection with the past, With art and culture a triumphant plan You stand beside your cycle and you talk Of how this bridge, this square, are made to last.
SCALE LANE BRIDGE
HULL
This bridge holds so much; its fantastic span Is both symbol and true destination Stroll down there from Hull Paragon Station You’ll see how the bridge is part of the plan: Open the city for woman and man. Stand and add up this Yorkshire equation: Water plus steel can equal elation. Bridges have told stories since time began. This bridge holds so much: it’s story and song Metaphor, saga, and memories of fish ‘Bridge for a City of Culture’ we say Stand on the structure as it moves along Feel the breeze flapping your hair; make a wish: That the world visits Scale Lane Bridge someday!
