SIAs enable local consortia to focus on analysing regional strengths and identify mechanisms to realise their potential. In Greater Manchester (GM) and Cheshire East (CE), a consortium was formed to focus on our strengths in health innovation, advanced materials, energy, digital and industrial biotechnology. This report presents the results which includes broad-ranging analysis of GM and CE’s capabilities, the challenges and the substantial opportunities for future economic growth. Context 2. ‘Fast-growth opportunities’ focused on At the core of the industrial strategy for the future potential of digital, energy, and both GM and CE is the need to harness industrial biotechnology, where our knowledge, innovation, skills and assets and capabilities offer real scope for infrastructure to drive the local economy, future development. create jobs and raise productivity. Realisation of the full potential from our Our guiding hypotheses were firstly that science and innovation strengths will also we have five areas of core strengths and benefit wider global societal challenges. fast growth opportunities which could be These include climate change, energy combined to release new synergies of security, transport efficiency, and a innovation and productivity growth, and sustainable health and social care system. secondly that we would have to address Informed by the results of our Smart gaps in our regional innovation ecosystem Specialisation Platform analysis, emerging that are constraining our ability to do so in imperatives for growing the economy of order to realise full potential.

    THE RISE OF INNOVATION DISTRICTS: A New Geography Of Innovation In America Bruce Katz and Julie Wagner S THE UNITED STATES SLOWLY EMERGES FROM THE GREAT RECES- SION, A REMARKABLE SHIFT IS OCCURRING IN THE SPATIAL GEOG- ARAPHY OF INNOVATION. FOR THE PAST 50 YEARS, THE LANDSCAPE OF INNOVATION HAS BEEN DOMINATED BY PLACES LIKE SILICON VALLEY—SUBURBAN CORRIDORS OF SPATIALLY ISOLATED CORPORATE CAMPUSES, ACCESSIBLE ONLY BY CAR, WITH LITTLE EMPHASIS ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OR ON INTEGRATING WORK, HOUSING AND RECREATION. A new complementary urban model is now emerging, giving rise to what we and others are calling “innovation districts.” These dis- tricts, by our definition, are geographic areas where leading-edge anchor institutions and companies cluster and connect with start- ups, business incubators and accelerators.1 They are also physically compact, transit-accessible, and technically-wired and offer mixed- use housing, office, and retail. Innovation districts are the manifestation of mega-trends altering the location preferences of people and firms and, in the process, re-conceiving the very link between economy shaping, place mak- ing and social networking.2 Our most creative institutions, firms and workers crave proximity so that ideas and knowledge can be transferred more quickly and seamlessly. Our “open innovation” economy rewards collaboration, transforming how buildings and entire districts are designed and spatially arrayed. Our diverse population demands more and better choices of where to live, work and play, fueling demand for more walkable neighborhoods where housing, jobs and amenities intermix. — Cover: The geography of Bar- celona’s innovation dis- Led by an eclectic group of institutions and leaders, innovation trict, highlighted in blue, districts are emerging in dozens of cities and metropolitan areas in is located in the heart of the United States and abroad and already reflect distinctive ty- the city.

Nussdorf Professor of Urban Research Department of City and Regional Planning School of Design Co-Director, Penn Institute for Urban Research University of Pennsylvania Contact Information: [email protected] Understanding our cities…. Understanding our world From Science Parks to Innovation Districts 2 Introduction Research and development (R&D) drives advanced economies worldwide. It is this that provides the foundation for the new knowledge, products, and processes that, in turn, become new industries, create jobs and serve as the source of economic growth. Key areas for R&D are in what is called the knowledge and technology industries (KTI) that consist of high technology manufacturing (e.g. aircraft, spacecraft, pharmaceuticals) and knowledge-intensive services (commercial business, financial and communication services). KTI, which account f or 27% of the worldwide Gross Domestic Product (GDP), are extremely important to the United States, in particular, representing 40% of the U.S. GDP. In fact, the U.S is the world’s largest KTI producer – contributing 27% of the total HT manufacturing and 32% of the KI services.1 In order to grow and maintain these positions, the United States, like its peers in Europe and Asia who are also large contributors, has built an extensive R&D infrastructure composed of three strong players: the private sector, the public sector and universities. In terms of expenditures and numbers of employees, the private sector dominates the R&D enterprise, but the university sector, largely funded by the US government, is also an important component both directly and indirectly.

    1 WELCOME TO POMPANO BEACH 2 FLORIDA’S WARMEST WELCOME 3 LOCATION 01 CENTRALITY AND ACCESSIBILITY PALM BEACH POMPANO BEACH MIAMI Centrally located between Palm Beach and Miami, Pompano Beach is often called "the Heart of the Gold Coast”. A MAJOR TRANSFORMATION 4 Trend-setting cities around the globe are creating Innovation Districts transforming underutilized swaths of land into dynamic areas full of corporate sophistication, startup edginess, walkable communities, trendy restaurants, hip housing and cultural clusters. Successful in cities from Barcelona to Boston, the trend is now emerging in smaller communities. However, this model is one that the Pompano Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has long embraced. And now, thanks to the joint efforts of the City and the CRA, Pompano Beach is becoming a hot spot for current and new residents alike to live, work and play. For years, innovation occurred in sprawling corporate campuses that were isolated from one another. But now innovation emerges from a mash-up of ideologies where people can co-invent, co-produce and stay connected to all of the dynamic energy located in close proximity. Designed by concentrating daytime and nighttime economic uses with a dense residential component, these districts foster heightened interaction and collaboration. 5 DEMOGRAPHICS & FACTS POMPANO BEACH OFFERS 6 Proximity to Interstate-95, Tri-Rail, FEC Corridor, three international airports, and two major seaports More than 30 million sq/ft of industrial/storage/distribution space Center of the “Internet

All rights reserved. 2018. www.creativerail.co.uk A Brief History of the Route The first incarnation of the East Coast Main Line dates back to 1850 when London to Edinburgh services became possible on the completion of a permanent bridge over the River Tweed. However, the route was anything but direct, would have taken many, many hours and would have been exhausting. By 1852, the Great Northern Railway had completed the 'Towns Line' between Werrington (Peterborough) and Retford, which saw journey times between York and London of five hours. Edinburgh to London was a daunting eleven. Over time, the route has endured harsh periods, not helped by two world wars. It only benefited from very little improvement. Nevertheless, journey times did shrink. Names and companies synonymous with the route, such as, LNER and Gresley have secured their place in history, along with the most famous service - 'The Flying Scotsman'. Motive power also developed with an ever increasing calibre including A3s, A4s Class 55s and HSTs that have powered expresses through the decades. The introduction of HST services in 1978 saw the Flying Scotsman reach Edinburgh in only five hours. A combination of remodelling, track improvements and full electrification has seen a further reduction to what it is today, which sees the Scotsman complete the 393 miles in under four and a half hours in the capable hands of Class 91 and Mk4 IC225 formations.

  • Minerals and Waste Core Strategy
    Tees Valley Joint Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents In association with Core Strategy DPD Adopted September 2011 27333-r22.indd 1 08/11/2010 14:55:36 i ii Foreword The Tees Valley Minerals and Waste Development Plan Documents (DPDs) - prepared jointly by the boroughs of Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees - bring together the planning issues which arise from these two subjects within the sub-region. Two DPDs have been prepared. This Minerals and Waste Core Strategy contains the long-term spatial vision and the strategic policies needed to achieve the key objectives for minerals and waste developments in the Tees Valley. The separate Policies and Sites DPD, which conforms with it, identifies specific sites for minerals and waste development and sets out policies which will be used to assess minerals and waste planning applications. The DPDs form part of the local development framework and development plan for each Borough. They cover all of the five Boroughs except for the part within Redcar and Cleveland that lies within the North York Moors National Park. (Minerals and waste policies for that area are included in the national park’s own local development framework.) The DPDs were prepared during a lengthy process of consultation. This allowed anyone with an interest in minerals and waste in the Tees Valley the opportunity to be involved. An Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State carried out an Examination into the DPDs in early 2011. He concluded that they had been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and were sound.
