  • Sustainability Indicators and Their Application in Decision-Making Processes for Eastside, Birmingham, UK
    International Conference on Whole Life Urban Sustainability and its Assessment M. Horner, C. Hardcastle, A. Price, J. Bebbington (Eds) Glasgow, 2007 Sustainability Indicators and their Application in Decision-Making Processes for Eastside, Birmingham, UK a, a a a D.V.L. Hunt *, D.R. Lombardi , C.D.F. Rogers , I. Jefferson a,* School of Engineering, Civil Engineering, The University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B152TT, U.K. ABSTRACT Birmingham Eastside, an area of 130 hectares, is located to the eastern side of Birmingham’s city centre. Over a 10 year period this once deprived inner city area is being regenerated through public and private finance estimated at £6 billion. The regeneration scheme is rapidly bringing about changes to the local environment, economy, and the society therein. The key players (e.g. landowners, developers and planners) involved in the decision-making processes for Eastside have the power to see that these changes are brought about in a sustainable manner. For this to happen it is necessary to assess in which direction the development should go, and to provide benchmarks for implementing and measuring sustainable changes along the way. This process can be facilitated by the use of sustainability indicators, of which there are many. This paper outlines the sustainability indicators (e.g. SPeAR, BREEAM, Sustainability Checklists and other benchmarks) that might be used within the decision-making processes for Eastside. In particular, it details those indicators operating at city level, quarter level and then individual development site level. Several case study sites are included (Masshouse, City Park Gate, the Learning and Leisure Quarter, the New Technology Institute – nti, and Warwick Bar).

    A PROVINCIAL SCHOOL OF ART AND LOCAL INDUSTRY: THE STOURBRIDGE SCHOOL OF ART AND ITS RELATIONS WITH THE GLASS INDUSTRY OF THE STOURBRIDGE DISTRICT, 1850-1905 by JAMES SCOTT MEASELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.

    The Social, Political and Economic Determinants of a Modern Portrait Artist: Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893-1965) by MARIE CONSIDINE A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History of Art College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham April 2012 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT As the first major study of the portrait artist Bernard Fleetwood-Walker (1893- 1965), this thesis locates the artist in his social, political and economic context, arguing that his portraiture can be seen as an exemplar of modernity. The portraits are shown to be responses to modern life, revealed not in formally avant- garde depictions, but in the subject-matter. Industrial growth, the increasing population, expanding suburbs, and a renewed interest in the outdoor life and popular entertainment are reflected in Fleetwood-Walker’s artistic output. The role played by exhibition culture in the creation of the portraits is analysed: developing retail theory affected gallery design and exhibition layout and in turn impacted on the size, subject matter and style of Fleetwood-Walker’s portraits.
