COED DARCY Coed Darcy, Wales - Design Code PROJECT INFORMATION In 1999 The Welsh Development Agency commissioned an Enquiry by Design through which to develop the creation of a new ‘urban village’ on the site of a former BP oil refinery in South-West Wales. Located between Neath and Swansea, LOCATION ‘Coed Darcy’ will be an entire new town on 1,300 acres of brownfield land. The Coed Darcy, Wales Studio LK team, whilst with the Prince’s Foundation, produced the masterplan and town design code for Coed Darcy. PROJECT TYPE Design Code The development of Coed Darcy is based on the principles of walkable mixed use communities with a village centre at the core of the development. A series of four CLIENT smaller local centres will connect the existing Llandarcy village and Skewen. The Welsh Development Agency connections are supported by a public transport interchange and local rail halt which will improve access to Llamsamlet and Swansea. THEMES Coed Darcy incorporates 4,000 new homes of mixed price and tenure, 3,000 Design Code jobs, open space and an integrated land use pattern supported by a full range of services including 4 new schools, health and community facilities. An interna- STATUS tional competition was held to select a developer and St. Mowden was chosen. Complete Coed Darcy achieved outline planning consent in December 2007. A Partnership Board, Coed Darcy Limited (CDL) was established to ensure development quality is achieved and monitored.

36Acorn Directory of Services Neath Port Talbot.Pdf
FOREWORD Acorn was set up by a group of volunteers in August 2011 to promote positive mental health and improve the emotional health and wellbeing of individuals experiencing mental health issues in Neath Port Talbot. This directory has been produced because members of Acorn identified the need for information about services and support organisations to be easily available and in one place. It is estimated that one in four people will experience mental ill health at some point in their lifetime, so mental illness will, at one time or another impact on many of our lives, either directly or through family, friends or colleagues. It is important to be able to find the right help, support and guidance easily so we hope this directory will help to achieve this. We have tried to focus on local services, but where these don’t exist we have put together a section on national organisations, websites and help lines. If you would like to comment on the directory or contact members of Acorn please email: [email protected]. For further information, please contact Emma Jones on 01639 631 246.

URBAN 2.0 – Urban Coding As an Alternative to Planning?
The 4 th International Conference of the International Forum on Urbanism (IFoU) 2009 Amsterdam/Delft The New Urban Question – Urbanism beyond Neo-Liberalism URBAN 2.0 – Urban coding as an alternative to planning? Yoshihiko Baba* *University of Tokyo, Komaba 4-6-1, Meguro-ku, Tokyo, Japan, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The modern town planning was born to solve, or at least alleviate, the urban issues in the late 19th century. Today, although some problems have been solved or alleviated, we still have the same or new urban problems in many parts of the world. Recently, the New Urbanism and relevant activities have found that society and community, once considered as a myth, are thought of an essential component of urbanity and a potential force to solve the issues. Urban coding is used, as an alternative to or addition to urban planning, to empower those communities. In this paper, I will attempt to postulate a hypothesis of urban communities and coding as a possible means to bringing back the lost urbanity and solving urban problems, with a brief introduction of practices in US, UK and Japan. KEYWORDS: community oriented development, network community, urban code 1 INTRODUCTION “They’re casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families. And no government can do anything except through people, and people must look to themselves ﬁrst. It’s out duty to look after ourselves and then, also to look after our neighbour.” (Prime Minister Margaret Thactcher, talking to Women’s Own magazine, 31 October 1987) The modern town planning was born to solve, or at least alleviate, the urban issues in the late 19th century.
