Ruskin and South Kensington: Contrasting Approaches to Art Education
Ruskin and South Kensington: contrasting approaches to art education Anthony Burton This article deals with Ruskin’s contribution to art education and training, as it can be defined by comparison and contrast with the government-sponsored art training supplied by (to use the handy nickname) ‘South Kensington’. It is tempting to treat this matter, and thus to dramatize it, as a personality clash between Ruskin and Henry Cole – who, ten years older than Ruskin, was the man in charge of the South Kensington system. Robert Hewison has commented that their ‘individual personalities, attitudes and ambitions are so diametrically opposed as to represent the longitude and latitude of Victorian cultural values’. He characterises Cole as ‘utilitarian’ and ‘rationalist’, as against Ruskin, who was a ‘romantic anti-capitalist’ and in favour of the ‘imaginative’.1 This article will set the personality clash in the broader context of Victorian art education.2 Ruskin and Cole develop differing approaches to art education Anyone interested in achieving artistic skill in Victorian England would probably begin by taking private lessons from a practising painter. Both Cole and Ruskin did so. Cole took drawing lessons from Charles Wild and David Cox,3 and Ruskin had art tuition from Charles Runciman and Copley Fielding, ‘the most fashionable drawing master of the day’.4 A few private art schools existed, the most prestigious being that run by Henry Sass (which is commemorated in fictional form, as ‘Gandish’s’, in Thackeray’s novel, The Newcomes).5 Sass’s school aimed to equip 1 Robert Hewison, ‘Straight lines or curved? The Victorian values of John Ruskin and Henry Cole’, in Peggy Deamer, ed, Architecture and capitalism: 1845 to the present, London: Routledge, 2013, 8, 21.

Niche Innovation Dynamics and the Urban Mobility Transition the Case of Dockless Bike-Sharing in London
Niche innovation dynamics and the urban mobility transition The case of dockless bike-sharing in London Russell Cannon Urban Studies Master’s Programme (Two-Year) 30 Credits VT2019 Supervisor: Désirée Nilsson 1 Abstract This thesis seeks to provide a detailed understanding of the introduction of dockless bike-sharing to London. As part of a wave of new smart and shared mobility services that are aiming to transform the way people move around cities, this emerging form of transport has created disruptions in London since its launch in 2017. This study aims analyse to what extent dockless bike-sharing aligns or conflicts with the aims and objectives of local authorities governing public space in London. In doing so, it also aims to reveal insights into transformations in contemporary mobility by exploring the dynamics of niche innovations within socio-technical transitions, thus contributing to knowledge in the field of transition studies. To do this, a qualitative case study methodology was employed using document analysis and interviews with four stakeholders integrally involved in the case study, representing both public authorities and a private sector dockless bike-sharing operator, Mobike. The findings demonstrate that dockless bike-sharing is well aligned with the city’s explicit objectives to reduce car dependency and encourage active travel. It has particular potential to make cycling more accessible by bringing bike-sharing to parts of the city that do not have access to the pre-existing, docked bike-sharing scheme, operated by the central transport authority, Transport for London. Despite this, dockless bike-sharing, as a niche innovation, has struggled to break into the existing urban mobility regime.

Safety Effects of the London Cycle Superhighways on Cycle Collisions 2 3 Haojie Lia,C,*, Daniel J
1 Safety Effects of the London Cycle Superhighways on Cycle Collisions 2 3 Haojie Lia,c,*, Daniel J. Grahamb, Pan Liua,c 4 aSchool of Transportation, Southeast University, China 5 bCentre for Transport Studies, Imperial College London, UK 6 cJiangsu Province Collaborative Innovation Center of Modern Urban Traffic Technologies 7 8 *Corresponding author: Email address: [email protected] 9 ABSTRACT 10 This paper evaluates the effects of the London Cycle Superhighways (CS) on cycle collisions. 11 A total of 45 CS segments and 375 control segments are observed for a period of 8 years in 12 London. Variables such as road characteristics, crash history and socio-economic information 13 are included in the data set. Traffic characteristics including traffic volume, cycle volume and 14 traffic speed are obtained from Department for Transport. We first estimate the safety effects 15 on the CS routes using Empirical Bayes methods. Then propensity score matching methods 16 are also applied for comparison. The introduction of cycle superhighways caused cycling 17 traffic volumes to increase dramatically along CS routes with no significant impacts on 18 collision rates. Our models find that the increase in traffic was associated with a rise in annual 19 total cycle collisions of around 2.6 per km (38% in percentage). However, when we 20 re-estimate the effects based on cycle collision rates rather than levels, our results also show 21 that the CS routes are not more dangerous or safer than the control roads. Among the four CS 22 routes, CS3 performs the best in protecting cyclists with a large proportion of segregated 23 lanes whilst the cyclists have to share the lanes with motorists on other routes.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY General Fund Revenue Position 1.1. The overall position on services is a small overspend of £143,000 (including Grenfell). In addition, there is an underspend of £10.4m on corporate items, of which £3.8m is due to the full implementation of the Treasury Management Strategy and increased investment income which has been reported for most of the year. This is a one-off underspend and budgets have been adjusted for 2020/21. The remainder relates to the corporate contingency and the provision set aside for the pension fund liability which has not been required during the year. Further details are set out in paragraph 5.2. 1.2. After the proposed transfer of the £11.3m to earmarked reserves, the Council will maintain its General Fund working balance at £10m. This £10m is in line with what is agreed in the Council’s Medium-Term Financial Strategy and reserves policy. General Fund Capital Programme 1.3. The total original General Fund Capital Programme budget in 2019/20, including budget carried forward from the 2018/19 was £163.066m. During the first three quarters of the year, there was a total variance of £91.249m giving a current budget of £71.817m.
