Coming Soon on September 12th 2020 A Virtual Event!

Seeking Urban Utopias

Searching for the cities we want to live in

September 12th 4-6 pm online and interactive, with four speakers and discussion breakout groups.

https://theworldtransformed.org/twt20/utopia-radical-futures/urban-utopia-searching-city-we-want-live/

What could an egalitarian, affordable and sustainable city look like?

This will be an event looking at the potential for socialist, communitarian and green utopias in city design and planning, how that potential gets blocked by the property industry and what we can do about it. A panel of academics and activitsts will ex!more these utopian visions and what stands in their way. We'll be using visual material and breakout groups to encourage everyone to participate.

Panel:

Marion Roberts is Emeritus Professor of Urban Design at the University of Westminster, author of numerous works on the city and an activist with Jewish Voice for Labour.

Owen Hatherley is Culture Editor of Tribune and author of several books including Trans- Europe Express, Landscapes of Communism and the forthcoming Red Metropolis.

Bob Colenutt is head of research at the Northampton Institute of Urban Affairs and the author of the recent The Property Lobby: The Hidden Reality Behind The Housing Crisis.

Harpreet Aujla is a planning solicitor at Southwark Law Centre, advising and empowering people and communities facing the prospect of regeneration schemes. She also seeks to raise awareness of how to influence planning policy to create a better city.

Organised by Southwark Transformed.

https://theworldtransformed.org/twt20/utopia-radical-futures/urban-utopia-searching-city-we-want-live/

Took place on 4th August 2018 at The Green in Nunhead
"Southwark: Celebrating Past, Facing Present, Imagining Future" will engage people with a series of panels, talks, breakout sessions and workshops around the key areas concerning our community today; housing, health, education, society and of-course, the critical concern of the future of work. The central objective of this one-day conference will be to create a vibrant collaboration space within which to give voice to the people in our local and wider community who do not typically engage with politics, the Labour Party, Momentum or unions.

We look forward to seeing you there.

The Programme

Saturday 4 th August 14:00-20:00
This one day event will bring together the Southwark and wider community for a day of celebration, discussion and creation. With panel talks and workshops on key areas concerning our community: housing, health, education, society and the future of work, the event will feature three big themes with a parallel arts and culture stream running throughout.
Southwark's Radical Past
Our borough has a fertile history of radicalism. The panel will delve into past activism like the Chartists and Suffragettes. The area, though poor, was rich in inspiring people and movements which we can learn from, and apply lessons to today's struggles.
Our Community: Life, Work, Technology
"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Is work changing with new technology, or is the "gig economy" just a posh term for old-fashioned drudgery? A diverse panel of people involved in today's struggles will empower you with their ideas.
Southwark: Our Place in the World
This panel will be looking at the broader picture, including our place in Europe, grassroots community activism and the scandal of Windrush. Can we extrapolate the problems, circumstances, and history of a particular inner-London borough outwards, or are they specific to our locality?
Southwark Living: Creating the Urban Future
A secure place to call home is one of the basic requirements of civil society. How we live is the focus of this session. Are the building and regeneration works being planned, designed and constructed, going to fulfil the needs and hopes of the community? If not, how can we create something better?
Workshops
During the day there will be breakout groups where people can join discussions which interest them and contribute to the richness of discourse at this event.
Art and the Spoken Word
We will also be holding workshops with spoken word artists at The Old Nun's Head during the day, for those who would like something a little different. Your entry fee to the main event covers this too.

Celebration will continue into the night with an after-party. We're planning a free crèche dependent on demand.
The venue is the Green, Nunhead Community Centre SE15 3QQ which is right next door to the Old Nun's Head pub, where
we will be having some workshops and the after party .

Sponsors

This event would not have been possible without the splendid support of our sponsors:

Unite, Faraday Ward Labour Party, CWU and Ian Ritchie.

We thank them for their assistance in organising this event.

Managing money for informal groups can quickly become an admin headache. Most don't have the legal status needed to open a bank account, but relying on personal accounts isn't a long term solution.

Using Accountable gives the safety and transparency of a formal bank account, without the need to legally register as a business or charity. Groups can hold their funds in our business bank account, and use the accompanying platform to clearly see and control what's coming in and out.

Groups stay in total control of how and when money is spent and can share responsibility for signing off costs amongst each other, while we handle the time consuming accounting tasks, like bank transfers.

After years working with grassroots groups and as an incubator for fledgling social movements we know this service can provide the strong foundation needed to get going and keep going.

You can read about the impact Accountable has had so far in our report, Mutual Money: How innovation enabled community-led COVID-19 responses.

Developer given permission to close 300-year-old public footpath in Salford | Salford | The Guardian

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A developer has been given permission to close a 300-year-old riverside footpath and divert pedestrians through a back street or through a hotel lobby in what critics say is the latest egregious example of the privatisation of public space.

Campaigners in Greater Manchester have made an 11th-hour attempt to stop the path by the River Irwell being shut, saying citizens had a "fundamental right" to walk along the river, which "should not be sacrificed for private gain".

The contested path is in Salford's rapidly gentrifying Blackfriars neighbourhood, right on the border with Manchester. It runs opposite the glitzy Spinningfields district, home to Manchester's branch of celebrity restaurant The Ivy and numerous financial and legal institutions.

The development, known as Ralli Quays, will see government office buildings demolished to make way for an office complex and a 16-storey, 260-bed hotel. It was approved in January by Salford councillors despite widespread public opposition, though the path cannot be closed until approval is granted from the Department for Transport.

Councillors accepted claims from architects employed by the developer, Legal & General, that it was too "difficult" to maintain and restore the existing right of way, which runs 207 metres along the Irwell at various heights.

The developers also argued that the existing path, which has not been fully accessible for some time, "seemed to be used by rough sleepers".

Instead, the new public footpath will run along a parallel sidestreet with no river view, with an additional "permissive path" granted alongside the river's terrace and through the hotel lobby.

Permissive paths are often controversial because the landowner can withdraw access at anytime.

An artist's impression of the development shows a terrace with cafe seating, where the permissive path will run until it reaches a glass fronted lobby called The Junction.

Campaigners argue that Salford council should be creating more public rights of way rather than taking them away. The authority's own masterplan envisions the creation of the Irwell City Park, a riverside walk and cycle way running from the University of Salford to Salford Quays.

Dr Morag Rose, a lecturer in urban geography who is leading the campaign, said: "We believe the right to walk along the Irwell is a fundamental right and we assert the value of public space. It should not be sacrificed for private gain."

Rev Andy Salmon, a local vicar, said: "I passionately want to see our cities feeling like good, healthy and interesting places to live. This to me means that we need to be adding more public rights of way not taking them away.

"People want to walk alongside the river, and why shouldn't they? I long to see the river as a lovely route through the city and at the moment there are too many spaces where it doesn't work. Every development is an opportunity to enhance the river route as was envisaged in the Irwell City Park planning guidance which still has authority but seems to have been ignored for this development."

Salford councillor Mike McCusker, lead member for planning, transport and sustainable development, said: "Our original intention was to improve and upgrade the existing towpath as part of the development. However, this was not deemed possible due to safety concerns with this particular section.

"The new proposed access, which was welcomed by Manchester Ramblers Association, is a compromise that allows us to pursue the goal of creating a huge area of high quality, usable green space for local residents to enjoy. It is important to remember that this development is also significantly expanding Salford's public realm, not losing it."

According to the Greater Manchester Pedestrian Association, the footpath under threat was originally built about 1720 when the Irwell first became navigable by horse-drawn barges.

Legal & General has been contacted for comment.
