  • London Borough of Camden Sustainable Urban Drainage System
    London Borough of Camden Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SuDS) in Camden June 2017 WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE Sustainable Urban Drainage System in Camden Sponsored by London Borough of Camden Authors Benjamin Abram Chase Arsenault Antonio Goncalves Oscar Lee Date 06/24/2017 Report Submitted to Ana Lopez, London Borough of Camden Professor Dominic Golding, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Professor Jennifer deWinter, Worcester Polytechnic Institute This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects. Abstract The London Borough of Camden has had two major flood events in 1975 and 2002 that caused disruption to business and transportation. The Council is concerned that such flood events will become more common in the future as climate change brings more intense storms with increasing frequency to U.K. The project goal was to determine a strategy to mainstream Sustainable urban Drainage Systems (SuDS) into the public realm work of the Highway and Transport Strategy Teams. We conducted desk-based research, interviews, and site visits to identify the actual and perceived benefits and barriers to the adoption of SuDS and potential strategies to promote their adoption in the borough’s public highways. i Acknowledgement This project was made possible through the support of many individuals and organizations. The SuDS in Camden IQP team would first want to thank our project sponsor, Ana Lopez, and everyone in the Camden council who offered their knowledge, experience, and assistance for our project.

  • The Seven Dials Renaissance Newsletter
    ‘The charity has brought an entire neighbourhood back to life…’ – Colin Davis presenting the first PRIAN national award for projects which have stood the test of time. ‘A great project…’ – Peter Bishop past Director of Environment Camden and Professor of Urban Design at the Bartlett School of Architecture. ‘Seven Dials is one of the great architectural set pieces of London.’ – Dr. John Martin Robinson. Overleaf… A Memorial to Francis Golding and the web edition of the ‘Renaissance Study’ | Newsletter wins the bi-annual Walter Bor Media Award | Updates on: the Renaissance Study web edition | Re-Lighting Seven Dials | Pillar Lighting | Street Name Plates | People’s and Street History Plaques. Sponsorship info at the end. 2014 is the Trust’s 30th year and a very busy one. We have many projects underway, some fully funded and others only partially so. We hope this newsletter might encourage your support in maintaining and enhancing this unusual conservation area – the only quarter of London largely intact from late Stuart England. Our projects which are not fully funded are: the new web edition of the Renaissance Studies which we hope will be as pioneering as the previous printed versions; the People’s Plaques scheme, and our part-time coordinator’s salary. Completing the street improvements is our largest task and we are working with our local authorities and freeholders on a holistic approach. Our origins go back to 1977 when Seven Dials became a Housing Action Area and a Conservation Area with Outstanding Status, one of only 38 out of c. 6,000 in England.
