Cultural Masterplanning: New Methods for Developer-led Urban Regeneration

这个无与伦比的借调机会使英国最重要的城市更新房地产公司的学者能够研究大型城市更新项目的新方法。为期3年的借调将有助于在英国重建以文化为主导的再生，并为在英国商业地产公司内建立第一个研发部门铺平道路。此外，它将把私营部门主导的城市规模城市更新项目的重点转向人、地球和地方，从而有助于：-可持续和包容性发展的国家议程-规划改革-改善学术界对房地产行业的看法-为跨专业，学术界和工业界的协作工作设定新的标准在20世纪80年代，英国政府发起了一系列公共部门驱动的城市再生计划，旨在改变衰落的后工业城市。这使得英国成为城市更新和城市转型的世界领导者。在这种氛围下，第二位候选人Dan Dubowitz开创了一种文化总体规划方法来改造后工业城市，最初是作为格拉斯哥市的学术行动研究，随后通过他的专业实践“公民工程”，他在曼彻斯特、桑德兰、纽卡斯尔、特伦特河上的斯托克和伦敦塑造了文化引领的再生。文化总体规划被认为是将城市再生从以财产为中心的方法转向更全面、以人为本、以地点为中心和以可持续发展为重点的转变。例如，曼彻斯特的安科茨在短短10年内从一个没有日常生活的后工业荒地变成了全球第十大最受欢迎的居住地。（见杜博维茨，D. 2011《窥视者》，曼彻斯特大学出版社）。他在1997年至2012年间开发的方法和流程在几个公共驱动的项目中得以实施。10年过去了，人们越来越期望私营部门承担起推动城市再生的角色和负担，而这些角色和负担以前是由各种现已解散的政府机构承担的，但却没有工具包来协助实施。人们普遍认为，假设市场最了解情况及/或法定规划程序圆满涵盖发展的所有方面，是不够的。英国政府目前正在探索改进法定规划程序的方法，以解决其许多缺点，包括如何更好地代表社区。那么，如何证明在没有公共补贴的情况下，文化主导的城市更新可以改善所有利益相关者的结果呢？此次借调旨在通过行动研究，探索在公共补贴驱动的城市更新中有效的文化总体规划原则和方法如何适用于私营部门。首先，通过对曼彻斯特市中心正在进行的活体再生项目的行动研究，其次，将原则和研究成果应用于英国各地的其他再生项目。东道国组织U&I正在为行动研究提供途径，包括当前的再生项目和正在规划的项目，它们将为借调提供匹配资金（现金和实物）。借调完成后，他们将资助/出版一个开源工具包，并举办路演和展览，在英国和国际上分享新的文化总体规划方法。

This unparalleled opportunity for secondment situates an academic within the UK's foremost urban regeneration property company, to research new approaches to large scale urban regeneration projects. The 3 year secondment will contribute to the re-establishment of culture-led regeneration in the UK and also pave the way to establishing the first R&D department within a UK commercial property company. In addition, it will shift the focus of private sector led city-scale urban regeneration projects towards people, planet and place, thereby contributing to: - the national agenda on sustainable and inclusive development - planning reform - improving perceptions of academia within the property industry - setting a new bar for collaborative working across professions, academia and industryIn the 1980's, the UK Government initiated a series public sector driven urban regeneration programmes aimed at transforming declining post-industrial cities, this led to the establishment of the UK as a world-leader in urban regeneration and the transformation of cities. Within this climate, the secondee, Dan Dubowitz, pioneered a Cultural Masterplanning approach to transforming post-industrial cities, initially as an academic through action-research for the city of Glasgow, and subsequently through his professional practice 'Civic Works', he shaped culture led regeneration in Manchester, Sunderland, Newcastle, Stoke on Trent and London. Cultural Masterplanning is credited with shifting urban regeneration from a property-centred approach towards a more holistic, people, place and sustainability focused transformation. For example, Ancoats in Manchester went from being a post-industrial wasteland devoid of everyday life to becoming the 10th most popular place to live globally in just 10 years. (See Dubowitz, D. 2011 The Peeps, Manchester University Press).The methods and processes he developed between 1997-2012 were delivered under several publicly driven programmes, and 10 years on, the private sector is increasingly expected to assume the role and burden, previously shouldered by the various now-defunct government agencies, of driving the regeneration of our cities, but without a toolkit to assist delivery. It is widely recognised that to assume the market knows best and/or that the statutory planning processes cover all aspects of development satisfactorily, is inadequate. The UK government is currently exploring ways to improve the statutory planning process to address its many shortcomings, including how communities can be better represented. How then can it be demonstrated that, without public subsidy, Culture-led urban regeneration can improve outcomes for all stakeholders?This secondment seeks to explore, through action research, how Cultural Masterplanning principles and methods that were effective in delivering public subsidy driven urban regeneration can be adapted for the private sector. Firstly, through action research on a live regeneration project underway in Manchester city centre and secondly to apply the principles and research findings to other regeneration projects around the UK. The Host organisation U&I are providing access for action-research, both to current regeneration projects and those being planned and they will be match-funding the secondment (cash and in kind). On completion of the secondment, they will fund/publish an open-source tool kit as well as host a roadshow with exhibitions to share the new Cultural Masterplanning approach, both here in the UK and internationally.
