1. TRANSITIONING TOWARDS URBAN RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY TURAS Work package 3 Urban / Industrial Regeneration, Land Use Planning and Creative Design Nottingham Meeting 31st July 2012 Karen Foley University College Dublin

2. TRANSITIONING TOWARDS URBAN RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY Some objectives for today’s sessions Preparation for the TURAS Project Annual Consortium Meeting (18 th /19 th October, Stuttgart) Ensuring clear channels of communication (ideally using the TURAS web page) and fixing any problems (Today!) Establishing an understanding of how all 10 WP tasks operate, both individually and how they come together, to achieve the required milestones and deliverable. It is also important to develop an good understanding of the different components and how they come together and also how they link to other work packages (linking back to WP1 and WP2 and forward to WP6 and WP7). Working towards our collective milestones and deliverable Confirming leadership and co-ordination of milestones and deliverables Developing Programme

5. TRANSITIONING TOWARDS URBAN RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY SME’s in WP 3 Dermot Foley Landscape Architects (Ireland): The TURaS concept originated from a Dublin based SME DFLA based on their involvement in urban regeneration projects in Dublin city centre. DFLA leads task T3.2 Research mechanisms and strategies to unlock the potential of abandoned, deserted, vacant or contaminated urban sites at various levels and spatial scales leading to the development of a neighbourhood model (i.e. baseline) that facilitates analysis in terms of both space and time to account for ecological processes in the planning sphere, and society’s manipulation of the site towards specific short and long term goals Helix (Germany): Developer and provider of innovative and modern plant systems, sustainable, modern and aesthetical greening systems, fast greening-structures for buildings and landscapes; integrated maintenance-systems. Task 3.8

6. TRANSITIONING TOWARDS URBAN RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY Concept and objectives, progress beyond state-of- the- art, S/T methodology a holistic approach to urban resilience

7. TRANSITIONING TOWARDS URBAN RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY Concept and objectives, progress beyond state-of- the- art, S/T methodology Objectives: to develop positive transition strategies and scenarios to enable cities to meet the grand challenges by: reducing their urban ecological footprint, via the innovative development of: public and private green infrastructure rehabilitation of ecosystem services and urban biodiversity, urban/ industrial regeneration, land use planning and creative design; short- circuit economies (increased reliance on local goods and services), improved climate-neutral infrastructure for sustainable waste, water, energy and transport management, while also fostering greater equity and social cohesion limit urban sprawl to privilege compact and polycentric approaches, so as to reduce transport and energy costs, retain valuable agricultural land and natural areas, and protect landscape value, while limiting the negative effects of densification (i.e.: increased vulnerability to risk, noise, stress, safety).”

8. TRANSITIONING TOWARDS URBAN RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY Concept and objectives, progress beyond state-of- the- art, S/T methodology Objectives: The call topic also states that “ the research should develop novel methods to: enable adaptive governance, collaborative decision-making, and behavioural change to assist local authorities and citizens implement the transition from today’s largely unsuitable reality to tomorrow's resilient and sustainable European cities. ”The development of an interactive web platform is central to all activities in TURaS An open forum for interaction and exchange between project partners, local authorities and citizens in the participating urban areas. Project outputs: the output of each Work Package will be presented on the website in several formats:

9. TRANSITIONING TOWARDS URBAN RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY Concept and objectives, progress beyond state-of- the- art, S/T methodology Progress beyond state of the art The call topic also states that the “research will extend well beyond the traditional combination of scientific disciplines exploring the interface between art and science.”. (WP2 looks at seeking creative solutions (both visual and technological) to greenspace planning.) WP3 will entail significant community proposals for participation in resilience planning and management, with creative processes being used as a conduit in ascertaining some unique uses for abandoned sites and unused buildings. Landscape architecture encompasses the twin approaches of artistic and visual creativity with scientific and technological innovation, hence the involvement of the discipline of Landscape Architecture and SMEs that specialise in this area.

12. TRANSITIONING TOWARDS URBAN RESILIENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY Typology illustrating the six principal RTD work packages of the TURaS project. All six are interconnected and inter-reliant with each other, and the ultimate focus is to establish mechanisms for building resilience into urban planning and design through integrated transition strategies (WP7).
