  • The Broadmarsh Reimagined - Putting People and Nature at the Heart of Nottingham’S Green Ambitions
    The Broadmarsh reimagined - putting people and nature at the heart of Nottingham’s green ambitions. For more than a decade Nottingham has demonstrated ambition in its commitment to becoming the UK’s first carbon neutral city. Following the launch of the ‘Big Conversation’ about the future of the Broadmarsh area, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, a locally based charity which has championed urban wildlife for over 30 years, believes that Nottingham has a once in a generation opportunity to reshape the fabric of the City to match its green ambitions. Green cities around the world such as Copenhagen, Freiburg, and Portland share Nottingham’s ambitions to cut carbon emissions, but they have set themselves apart by putting nature and accessible greenspace at the heart of urban planning to create vibrant, liveable cities. Nottingham has greenspaces to be proud of, not least the Arboretum, and magnificent Wollaton Park, but the heart of our city is unmistakably grey not green. As new developments have replaced old, fragments of remaining greenspace have disappeared and opportunities to recreate vital new green areas have been lost. Now is the time to put nature back. A reimagined Broadmarsh, with 100% of the derelict and demolished site transformed into a natural urban oasis, would become Nottingham’s living breathing heartbeat – a mini Central Park where people can connect with nature and escape the stresses of city life without leaving the city. As Nottingham seeks to recover from the human and economic impacts of the pandemic, a Broadmarsh re-imagined as natural greenspace would improve the health of city residents.

  • Heres at Movements
    Opening Address Welcome to the first Movements: Protest, Politics and Activism in the Twenty-First Century Conference. Protest, activism and political and social movements have been a consistent and dominant feature of the political landscape in the twenty-first century. On 15 February 2003, millions of people across seven continents took to the streets (and ice) to demonstrate against the impending invasion of Iraq. Ever since, political protests and movement mobilisation have become a key feature of the political topography across the world: from the Arab Spring to Occupy, from the anti- austerity demonstrations in Southern Europe and the UK to the world-wide Women’s March, protests, movements, and other forms of dissent have punctuated political developments all over the world and have become a key and identifiable marker of both progress and regression. The local, national and global characteristics of these movements have taken on a new urgency in recent years and the role of protest and activism have developed in new and interesting directions. If they have, until recently, been focused on specific political or policy issues (such as the Iraq War), they now from an important part of campaigns in electoral politics. Once a marker of electoral failure, political rallies seem increasingly important for electoral success and lately, figureheads of populist campaigns have described these gatherings as ‘movements’ with added frequency. Movements, activism and protests take various forms. Although social politics and party-political movements have become an identifiable feature of protest in the twenty-first century, protests, such as the EuroMayDay demonstrations of the early 2000s, risk being ill-defined and reactionary.

    The Social World of Nottingham’s Historic Green Spaces Church (Rock) The Forest Cemetery) Waterloo Promenade The Arboretum Elm Avenue, Corporation Oaks & Robin Hood’s General Chase Cemetery Bath Street Cricket Ground The Meadows Cricket Ground Queen’s Walk Fredrick Jackson’s Map, c ͘1882, reproduced courtesy of Manuscripts and Special Collections, University of Nottingham THE ARBORETUM Compiled on behalf of the Social World of Nottingham’s Green Spaces project team by Dr Judith Mills 1 FOREWORD In 2013-14, the University of Nottingham’s project The Social World of Nottingham’s Historic Green Spaces saw a small group of academics collaborate with Friends, history and heritage groups as well as individuals interested in the city’s green spaces and the City Council which owns the spaces, to research the creation and development of Nottingham’s oldest parks and open spaces.͘ This was followed in 2016 by a Public Engagement project that resulted in a number of events including a play based on the research, a month-long exhibition, workshops for children, a website and some published articles. Conversations with representatives from some of the groups involved suggested that they would find it useful to have a simple listing of the sequence of events around the creation and development of the parks and open spaces. The results of these conversations are a set of reports - Fact Files - which summarise information about the spaces created as a result of the 1845 Enclosure Act. Sometimes the quantity of information is considerable, and sometimes it is quite scanty. As well as listing the facts, the reports also aim to illustrate some of the concerns and issues that surround the creation of the green spaces and give a flavour of contemporary attitudes to health, recreation and leisure which underlie their conception.
