Introduction: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been specifically designed to address some of the main socio-economic and environmental issues affecting developed and developing countries. Aiming to ‘improve people’s lives and to protect the planet for future generation’ the SDGs will be used to frame the political agenda over the next 15 years. Adopted by UN Member States in September 2015, the SDGs are composed of 17 goals and 169 targets to be achieved by 2030. Between them, goal number 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities, is specifically oriented to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Since more than half of the world population is presently living in urban context, with numbers expected to increase, the socio-economic and environmental sustainability of cities is today an important priority (UN, 2014). Urban planning, affordable houses, services provision and protection of the cultural and natural heritage are some examples of elements that would need to be considered in the design of sustainable urban realities.

  • Liverpool Development Update
    LIVERPOOL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE November 2016 Welcome Welcome to the latest edition of Liverpool Development Update. When I became Mayor of the city in 2012, I said that Liverpool’s best days were ahead of it. If you consider the levels of investment being seen across the city today in 2016, my prediction is now ringing true. Since the start of 2012, we have seen over £3.8 billion worth of investment which has brought new businesses, new homes, new schools, and new and improved community and health facilities to Liverpool. We have seen the creation of nearly 15,000 job spaces, many of which will be filled with new jobs to the city. We have also created thousands more construction jobs. There is more good news. Several major new schemes are now in delivery mode. I am pleased to see rapid progress on Derwent’s Liverpool Shopping Park at Edge Lane, whilst Project Jennifer is now well underway with construction about to commence on its new Sainsburys and B&M stores. In addition, Neptune Developments have started work on the Lime Street Gateway project, and I can also report that work is underway on the first phase of the Welsh Streets scheme that will now see many of the traditional terraces converted to larger family homes. Meanwhile, some of the new schemes have started under the Strategic Housing Delivery Partnership which will build a further 1,500 new homes and refurbish another 1,000 existing ones. Plans for new schemes continue to be announced. The Knowledge Quarter is to be expanded with a new £1billion campus specialising in FRONT COVER: research establishments, whilst we are now also seeking to expand the Commercial Office District with new Grade A office space at Pall Mall which this city so vitally needs.

Teaching Assistant: Andrew Binet [email protected] Course Description: This course provides a critical introduction to the shape and determinants of political, social, and economic inequality in urban America, and the history, development, and current prospects of the fields of housing and local economic development. The course begins with an exploration of the way cities are used to imagine and advance utopian visions. What is justice and what does it mean in the specifically urban context? It then explores ways in which housing and community economic development policy relate to current discussions of economic and racial inequality and neighborhood change. The second section of the course situates housing and community development policy within their historical, political, and institutional contexts. What is the relationship between federal policy and private, non-profit or social movement activism? What are the implications of the historical trajectory of federal, state, and local urban policies for poverty, economic inequality, and racial disparities in access to opportunity? The third section of the course provides an introduction to housing policy in the United States, particularly policies designed to produce affordable housing.

Collective realism: Exploring the development and outcomes of urban housing collectives Thomas Luke Archer A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Sheffield Hallam University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy October 2016 Abstract The undersupply of housing in England has created a pervasive sense of crisis about the delivery of sufficient new dwellings. Alternative forms of housing provision therefore merit further exploration, particularly those that can deliver low cost, stable accommodation in good condition. Potential remedies may be found in various models for collective ownership of housing. Housing collectives are organisations controlled by their members and residents, operating in a defined geography, which collectively own and manage land and housing for the benefit of a designated group. But why have such organisations consistently been a marginal form of provision? And do the patterns of benefits and costs they create make their future expansion desirable? Significant gaps in knowledge emerge in attempting to answer such questions.

A common critical characterisation of neighbourhood change—occurring through a grand Lefebvrean struggle between ‘abstract space-makers’ and ‘social space-makers’—is critically examined through an in-depth historical case study of the Granby neighbourhood in Liver- pool. Here, these forces are embodied respectively in technocratic state-led comprehensive redevelopment, notably Housing Market Renewal and its LIFE and ZOO zoning models; and in alternative community-led rehabilitation projects such as the Turner Prize-winning Granby Four Streets Community Land Trust.

It describes encounters between Planners for Equal Opportunity and American Institute of Planners (AIP) relating to the need for planners to help protect the disadvantaged and to counter racial or economic oppression in professional practice. It suggests that the years from 1959, when AIP issued a slight revision of its code of professional conduct, to 1974, when it developed a proposal for dispersed advocacy planning, were the setting for major changes in understanding about the need for social justice in planning practice. Keywords race relations, social issues, ethics, professionalism, Paul Davidoff, segregation, urban renewal, planning eras/approaches, poverty, advocacy planning The purpose of this article is to explore ways in which events of a particular era contributed to the evolution of planning thought in the mid-twentieth century, particularly in terms of concepts related to social responsibility in professional practice as promoted by the American Institute of Planners (AIP). The focus is on the years from 1959, when AIP issued a slight revision of its code of professional conduct, to 1974, when it developed a decentralized program for advocacy planning, and by which time it had revised its professional code to include language about the planner’s special responsibility to plan for the disadvantaged.
