THE WILD CITY the Coexistence of Wildlife and Human in Sheffield
THE WILD CITY The coexistence of wildlife and human in Sheffield 1970 3) 2020 future URBAN DESIGN THESIS PROJECT KEXIN CAI University of Sheffield School of Architecture ARC6982 Urban Design Project 3: Thesis The Wild City Academic Year 2019/2020 Module leader: Dr Beatrice De Carli Coexistence of wildlife and human in Sheffield Kexin Cai Registration no. 190249405 Supervisor: Beatrice De Carli, Cathryn Klasto, Esra Can Thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA in Urban Design Sheffield, 4 September 2020 Abstract In the UK, over 90% of the population already lives in cities. Human activities heavily impact on living conditions of wildlife and they alter wildlife habitats in cities. It is of great importance to bring wildlife back to cities and build wildlife-inclusive cities where humans and animals can friendly coexist. This thesis design aims to explore and analyze how urban design practitioners could deploy design methods to support wildlife and designing coexistence of human and wildlife in contemporary cities. The design-based research starts with the background context of both United Kingdom and Sheffield, investigating the state and pressures of wildlife. Due to the threatened situation of Willow tit in the UK and Sheffield, the analysis mainly focusses on the state of Willow tit in Sheffield, considering the background and specificity of this species. Then develops the problem statement and research questions in 3 aspects: space, social and management aspect. Next, the research of theoretical background strongly supports the whole thesis. The concept of ‘Care’ plays as a guiding principle in each aspect and ‘rewilding’ is the key practice throughout the development and design, aiming to construct a wildlife-inclusive city in Sheffield. -
Are You Looking for Something Fun and Exciting to Do Over the Spring Half Term Holidays?
Spring 2018 Easter 2015 Are you looking for something fun and exciting to do over the Spring half term holidays? There are lots of fun and exciting activities taking place outside of normal school hours in different places across Sheffield and beyond where children and young people can collect learning credits. These credits will be added to the ones some children collect in some schools to earn Children’s University Awards. To collect these credits, they need a Passport to Learning. These are available to purchase at Sheffield libraries and some Learning Destinations. Remember, the credits lead to a series of 30 special award certificates and badges. …and at those intervals up to 1000 hours! Do you have your Children’s University Passport to Learning yet? If the answer is yes, then that’s great news! BUT, to make sure you are awarded the credits you have earned, the Learning Destinations in Sheffield MUST put your details on a register AND send that register into us! If they don’t, we won’t know where you have visited and can’t award your credits. It might be that their staff are really busy and they’ve forgotten, or they might be new to the organisation and have simply forgotten that we need the register. So, every time you visit a SHEFFIELD Learning Destination, remind them to keep a register AND send it into us! Remember, if there’s no register, it means no credits! They can always contact us for help and we can visit them to explain the process if we need to. -

Work Placement 2014-2015 List of Placements Convenors
HST681: Work Placement 2014-2015 List of Placements Convenors: Esme Cleall and Tom Leng [email protected] [email protected] 1 Introduction This is a list of placements available for the Work Placement module for the academic year 2014- 15. You have been sent this list because you have indicated you intend to take the module. It is organized by type of placement though you should read through all the descriptions carefully in order to find out exactly what each involves. What happens next? On Tuesday of Intro Week, you will attend a talk on the Work Placement module. Here you will learn a bit more about what it involves. You will also be able to ask questions about specific placements. After that meeting you will submit a form. On this form you will indicate three placements in order of preference. You will also be asked to write a short statement on why you are suitable for your first choice (and the others if you wish). Please note that it is not always possible to allocate students their first choice of placement. Once all the forms have been submitted you will be allocated a placement. We intend to do this by the end of Intro week. Please do not contact placement partners until you have received confirmation from Tom Leng/Esme Cleall that you can do so. It is possible for you to undertake a placement with a partner not on this list if you already have a partner in mind. However, it is very important that the convenors are in touch with the placement partner to ensure it fits with the module aims and objectives.
