Sustainable Urban Systems to Transfer Achievable Implementation Network

该网络的主要活动将是举办一系列讲习班，确定和制定研究项目。将有一系列的八个研讨会，设计为四对研讨会，其中研究小组走到一起，制定一个具体的研究建议。每一个建议将沿着线的“沙坑”的想法工厂的概念，在第一个车间的一对，其次是详细生成一个或多个建议，这是最终确定在第二个车间的一对。每个讲习班将视需要辅以电视/电视会议，以便利详细提出研究建议，包括纳入工业和企业投入。通常在第二次讲习班结束后不久向适当的供资机构提交建议。因此，在该网络的两年期间，将拟订至少四项强有力的研究提案，以满足上述所有研究要素。研讨会将分别在上海、澳大利亚、香港和英国举行，每个地点两个。每个研讨会的主题将由网络团队在首席学者的领导下详细制定。然而，每项提案都将涵盖能源、水、交通和规划等广泛议题，并将行为变化和系统思维这两个主要的总体主题作为每项提案的主要驱动力。每一位英国学者将与一位合适的中国学者一起负责一个研讨会，这将使四个建议略有不同，尽管所有建议都将实现理解行为变化和整体思维的基本信息。每个讲习班将由两名主要学者协调，网络管理员提供行政支助。本地网络成员会在网络管理员及主要学者的协助下作出本地安排。工作坊为合作伙伴提供绝佳机会，让他们与本地人士/包括本地业界、政界人士/政府官员、学校、大学等/一起参与有关可持续发展的学习、研究及宣传活动，东滩项目和其他更具体的问题正在提出的小组。这为该小组提供了一个极好的机会，使其能够与当地人民接触，并听取他们对该小组研究人员正在思考的问题的关切，从而考虑将这些问题纳入随后的提案。令人兴奋的是，由于该网络的工作方式，我们有机会通过讲习班访问的每个城市的讲习班期间当地的积极参与，获得一个非常多元文化和多样化的态度转变观点。通过这种方式，我们将能够包括在我们的行为态度的变化，从中国，香港，澳大利亚和英国的投入，从而到概念模型的变化管理，未来的研究将发展的考虑。

The main activity of the network will be to run a series of workshops in which research projects will be defined and developed. There will be a series of eight workshops, designed as four pairs of workshops in which the research team comes together to develop a specific research proposal. Each proposal will be developed along the lines of the 'Sandpit' Ideas factory concept in the first workshop of a pair, followed by detailed generation of one or more proposals which are finalised in the second workshop of the pair. Each workshop would be supplemented with tele/videoconferences as necessary to facilitate detailed generation of the research proposals, including the inclusion of industrial and entrepreneurial inputs. Submission of the proposal to the appropriate funding body would normally take place shortly after the second workshop. Thus over the two years of the Network, a minimum of four strong research proposals would be developed to meet all of the research elements outlined above. The workshops will take place in Shanghai, Australia, Hong Kong and the UK, two in each location.The subject matter for each workshop will be worked out in detail by the network team under the leadership of the Lead Academics in each case. However, the broad topics of energy, water, transport and planning will be covered in each proposal, taking the two major overarching themes of behavioural change and systems thinking as the main drivers in each case. Each of the UK academics will be responsible for one workshop together with an appropriate Chinese academic and this will give a slightly different flavour to the four proposals, although the basic message of understanding behavioural change and holistic thinking will be achieved in all of them. Each workshop will be coordinated by the two lead academics, with the Network Administrator providing the administrative backup. Local arrangements will be made by the local network member with backup from the network administrator and lead academics.The workshops provide excellent opportunities for the collaborating partners to join with local people / including local industry, politicians/government officials, schools, universities etc / in learning, research and dissemination activities about sustainable development, the Dongtan project and other more specific issues being raised by the team. This provides an excellent opportunity for the team to engage with local people and to hear their concerns about the issues which are exercising the minds of the researchers in the team and thus to consider importing these into the subsequent proposals. The excitement of this is that because of the way the network will work, we have an opportunity to obtain a very multicultural and diverse view of attitudes to change through active local participation during the workshops in each city visited by the workshops. In this way we will be able to include in our considerations of behavioural attitudes to change, inputs from China, Hong Kong, Australia and the UK and thus into the conceptual models for change management that the future research will be developing.
