Please join the us for an urgently-needed interdisciplinary dialogue on successful approaches (if any) to embedding Peacebuiling globally. Social Science, particularly the fields of Psychology, Sociology and Politics, have long been interesting in inter-group conflict and conflict resolution, in various geographic, religious, and historical contexts.

Universities going to Town | JOHN TIBBITT from Policies for Places

Submitted by John Tibbitt on August 13, 2024 - 13:38

I have written about the importance of learning for places before here and about encouraging accessibility to learning from a more visible presence of learning and skills agencies in city streets here. This piece is focused particularly on the role of universities and other higher education institutions (HEIs) in supporting their local economies through taking a presence in often struggling high streets in towns and cities.

Rhetoric vs. Reality: The Political Manipulation of Immigration Issues | The Urban Lens Newsletter

Submitted by Bill Bowen on July 30, 2024 - 12:49

Throughout history, waves of immigrants have arrived on American shores, drawn by the promise of opportunity and freedom. This steady influx has profoundly shaped the United States, transforming it from a primarily agrarian, rural nation into today’s diverse and economically vibrant country. The influence of immigration is evident primarily in the nation's bustling, innovative urban areas, driven by the availability of jobs, existing immigrant communities, and access to essential resources and services.

Shared spaces and the 'war on the motorist' | Issues around 're-sharing' the street

Submitted by John Tibbitt on July 4, 2024 - 13:47

It is ironic that despite allocating emergency funding during the pandemic for widening pavements, providing additional cycle lanes, and making available modest resources for improved public transport and cycling infrastructure, the delivery of net-zero policies in towns and cities has emerged as a strong dividing line between political parties in the current general election in the UK.

PASCAL Briefing Paper 24 - Cognitive and Non-cognitive Skills Acquisition in Disadvantaged Populations: Evidence from the Nurture thru Nature (NtN) Experiment

It is widely acknowledged that public schools in the US have failed to produce sufficient levels of high quality STEM education. The mathematics and science performance of minority and disadvantaged students has been especially troubling with blacks and Hispanics substantially underrepresented in the STEM labor market.

Streets, publicness and the public realm | JOHN TIBBITT from Policies for Places

The City of Edinburgh has just announced the beginning of a 3-month consultation on its new transportation plan to help the city achieve its zero-carbon target by 2030. The transport convenor hopes the consultation will reach every ‘nook and cranny’ of the city to hear people’s views and further refine the proposals. The city is one of the most congested in the UK. It also has a fast-growing population with land set aside for an additional 37000 homes. If current transportation patterns continue mobility problems for residents, businesses and visitors can only get worse.

Thinking About the Big Picture: Cities and Evolutionary Waves of Economic Growth

Submitted by Bob Gleeson on February 3, 2024 - 14:07

The cold dreary days of January in Northeast Ohio are a good time to think about big ideas.  There is something about being cooped up inside that leads me to favor long-term thinking.

In addition, the start of a new calendar year usually motivates elected officials, businesses, and other social organizations to describe their future plans.  This is especially true at the start of a Presidential election year.

Managing the 24-hour City: Re-thinking the Relationship between Night and Day | JOHN TIBBITT from Policies for Places

Submitted by John Tibbitt on February 2, 2024 - 07:39

I noticed recently that Barcelona has just appointed a night-time mayor to oversee and co-ordinate city activities to support its growing night-time economy, seen as vital to the quality of life and prosperity of the city. They are not the first to create such a post. Amsterdam pioneered a Night Mayor in 2012, Paris has a Night Council to link with governance structures and stakeholders.
