It immediately attracted enthusiastic interest, which has translated into generous contributions from many partners. We gratefully acknowledge the funding and in-kind support provided by the Public Health Agency of Canada, which was crucial for implementing the research, the participation of several cities and the publication of this Guide. We also extend our appreciation to the Ministry of Health of British Columbia for supporting the initial meeting of collaborating cities in May, 2006 in Vancouver, Canada; to 2010 Legacies Now for funding the publication of a promotional pamphlet; to Help the Aged for enabling the participation of two cities and for supporting the second meeting of collaborating cities in London, United Kingdom, in March 2007; and to the City of Ottawa, Canada, for pilot testing the research protocol. The implementation of the research project and attendance at project meetings was made possible by government and local funding in most of the col- laborating cities. The project benefi ted at all phases from the guidance of an advisory group, the members of which we warm- ly thank: Margaret Gillis, Public Health Agency of Canada; James Goodwin, Help the Aged, United Kingdom; Tessa Graham, Ministry of Health of British Columbia, Canada; Gloria Gutman, Simon Fraser University, Canada; Jim Hamilton, Healthy Aging Secretariat of Manitoba, Canada; Nabil Kronful, Lebanese Healthcare Management Association, Lebanon; Laura Machado, Inter-Age Consulting in Gerontology, Brazil; and Elena Subirats-Simon, Acción para la Salud, Mexico. The Global Age-Friendly Cities project was developed by Alexandre Kalache and Louise Plouffe, WHO head- quarters, Geneva, Switzerland, and the report was produced under their overall direction. Substantial intel- lectual contributions in the data analysis and preparation of the report were made by Louise Plouffe; Karen Purdy, Offi ce for Seniors Interests and Volunteering, Government of Western Australia; Julie Netherland, Ana Krieger and Ruth Finkelstein, New York Academy of Medicine; Donelda Eve, Winnie Yu and Jennifer MacKay, Ministry of Health of British Columbia; and Charles Petitot, WHO headquarters. The research protocol was implemented in the following 33 cities thanks to the efforts of governments, nongovernmental organizations and academic groups: Amman, Jordan La Plata, Argentina New Delhi, India San José, Costa Rica Cancún, Mexico London, United Ponce, Puerto Rico Shanghai, China Dundalk, Ireland Kingdom Portage la Prairie, Sherbrooke, Canada Geneva, Switzerland Mayaguez, Puerto Rico Canada Tokyo, Japan Halifax, Canada Melbourne, Australia Portland, Oregon, Tripoli, Lebanon Himeji, Japan Melville, Australia United States of America Tuymazy, Russian Islamabad, Pakistan Mexico City, Mexico Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Federation Istanbul, Turkey Moscow, Russian Ruhr metropolitan Udaipur, India Kingston and Montego Federation region, Germany Udine, Italy Bay (combined), Jamaica Nairobi, Kenya Saanich, Canada Finally, special gratitude is expressed to the older people in all research locations, as well as to the caregiv- ers and service providers who were also consulted in many sites. In focus groups, these people articulated the model of an age-friendly city based on their experience that is at the heart of this Guide. These older people and those who interact with them in signifi cant ways will continue to play a critical role as commu- nity advocates and overseers of action to make their cities more age-friendly.

  • Doves, 'Some Cities' | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives Doves, ‘Some Cities’ Page 1 of 2 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Doves, ‘Some Cities’ By Laurence Newman Tuesday 8 March 2005 Manchester indie trio The Doves (Jimi Goodwin, Jez and Andy Williams) release their new album Some Cities this week, but where Warnings/Promises was in a lot of ways as good a record as The Remote Part, I can’t help feeling that Some Cities will fall short of The Last Broadcast, at least in sales if not in song writing which is a bit unfortunate. That is not to say that Some Cities is a poor album, it certainly has its moments; Walk in Fire, the haunting Snowdon and the new single (and possibly the highlight of the album) Black and White Town, an upbeat, catchy pop song which for some reason made me think of The Girl with the Golden Touch. And in the light of some of the ‘music’ in the indie scene right now (The Kaiser Chiefs/Razorlight) Some Cities is like a breath of fresh air, although if you don’t already own The Last Broadcast then that might be a better way to go. If you are a fan of the Doves then Some Cities is definitely worth a listen, the album has the same sound of There Goes the Fear and Pounding that made the band a hit in 2002. The record is very cleverly layered and well produced, and some of the songs really stand out as hits (Black and White Town, Some Cities) but I just thought that sometimes songs like The Storm had been recorded better by Radiohead on Kid A and Amnesiac.

  • Urban Area and Hinterland: Defining Large Cities in England, Scotland and Wales in Terms of Their Constituent Neighbourhoods
    RN004 – April 2013 Urban Area and Hinterland: Defining Large Cities in England, Scotland and Wales in terms of their constituent neighbourhoods Alex Fenton Background This is one of a series of short papers which explain conceptual or methodological approaches underpinning analysis undertaken in CASE’s research programme Social Policy in a Cold Climate (SPCC). SPCC is designed to examine the effects of the major economic and political changes in the UK since 2007, particularly their impact on the distribution of wealth, poverty, inequality and social mobility. It also examines geographical variations in policy, spending, outputs and outcomes, with a particular focus on London. The analysis includes policies and spending decisions from the last period of the Labour government (2007-2010), including the beginning of the financial crisis, as well as those made by the Coalition government since May 2010. The programme will conclude in 2015, with publication of a final volume. Interim reports will be published in 2013/14, and made available online at http://sticerd.lse.ac.uk/case. Social Policy in a Cold Climate is funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and the Nuffield Foundation, with London-specific analysis funded by the Trust for London. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the funders. Introduction This note describes a method for defining the 'core urban area' and 'hinterland' of large and metropolitan cities in Britain. The definitions are made in terms of small-area ('neighbourhood') geographies used in standard Census and administrative statistics in each country (Lower Super Output Areas in England and Wales, Datazones in Scotland).
