  • Cardiff Bay 1 Cardiff Bay
    Cardiff Bay 1 Cardiff Bay Cardiff Bay Welsh: Bae Caerdydd The Bay or Tiger Bay Cardiff Bay Cardiff Bay shown within Wales Country Wales Sovereign state United Kingdom Post town CARDIFF Postcode district CF10 Dialling code 029 EU Parliament Wales Welsh Assembly Cardiff South & Penarth Website http:/ / www. cardiffharbour. com/ Cardiff Harbour Authority List of places: UK • Wales • Cardiff Bay (Welsh: Bae Caerdydd) is the area created by the Cardiff Barrage in South Cardiff, the capital of Wales. The regeneration of Cardiff Bay is now widely regarded as one of the most successful regeneration projects in the United Kingdom.[1] The Bay is supplied by two rivers (Taff and Ely) to form a 500-acre (2.0 km2) freshwater lake round the former dockland area south of the city centre. The Bay was formerly tidal, with access to the sea limited to a couple of hours each side of high water but now provides 24 hour access through three locks[2] . History Cardiff Bay played a major part in Cardiff’s development by being the means of exporting coal from the South Wales Valleys to the rest of the world, helping to power the industrial age. The coal mining industry helped fund the building of Cardiff into the Capital city of Wales and helped the Third Marquis of Bute, who owned the docks, become the richest man in the world at the time. As Cardiff exports grew, so did its population; dockworkers and sailors from across the world settled in neighbourhoods close to the docks, known as Tiger Bay, and communities from up to 45 different nationalities, including Norwegian, Somali, Yemeni, Spanish, Italian, Caribbean and Irish helped create the unique multicultural character of the area.

    2020 CARDIFF CHIMERA P o r o s i t y S t u d i o U N S W C O F A / Cityscapers, British Council In collaboration with: C a r d i f f U n I v e r s i t y & G l a m o r g a n U n i v e r s i t y STUDIO • PROGRAM • NOTES Pore: n. minute opening in surface, through which fluids may pass. Porous: a. full of pores (lit. or fig.); hence of cogn. Porosity: porousness, ns. 1 Ancient Chinese scholars were fascinated with porous rocks that became known as “scholar rocks”. The more richly porous the structures were, balancing air with mass, the more valuable they became. “For the world of Chinese scholars stones has to be a source of inspiration, - mysteriously shrouded in feathery mist – to anyone with an interest in transparency, transformation, immateriality, dynamism, in spectacular surfaces, monoliths, or raw lumps of rock, in minimalist or archaic monuments”. (Ursprung, Phillip 2003: p 111.) Mine also is a fascination with both exoskeleton and its fleshy centre, as a model for the body and architectural minimums, and the idea of architecture being analogous to the mathematical model of the “Sierpensky sponge”. This is a theoretical cube which is infinitely porous and hence: “more than a surface, less than a volume….Its total volume approaches zero, while the total lateral surface of the hollowings infinitely grows.” (Ursprung, Phillip 2003: p 487.) This obsession with dissolving architecture runs hand in hand with the idea that art has a role to play in promoting the adaptive re-use of existing urban structure via new “parasitic forms”.

Welcome to Cardiff! Dear Conference delegate, I’d like to welcome you to this 63rd Conference of the Political Studies Association, held in Cardiff for the first time and hosted by the University of Cardiff. We are expecting over 600 delegates, representing over 80 different countries, to join us at Cardiff’s historic City Hall. The conference theme is ‘The Party’s Over?’; are the assumptions that have underpinned political life and political analysis sustainable? This subject will most certainly be explored during our Plenary Session ‘Leveson and the Future of Political Journalism’, a debate that has enormous ramifications for the future of UK politics. We will bring together some of the most passionate and eloquent voices on this topic; Chris Bryant MP, Trevor Kavanagh, Mick Hume and Professor Brian Cathcart. This year’s Government and Opposition- sponsored Leonard Schapiro lecture will be given by Professor Donatella Della Porta, who will consider the issue of political violence, the new editor of the American Political Science Review, Professor John Ishiyama, will discuss ‘The Future of Political Science’ and the First Minister of Wales, Carwyn Jones AM, will address attendees at the conference dinner.

  • The Social Services Bill for Wales & Promoting Well-Being
    The Social Services Bill for Wales & promoting well-being 150,000 young, old and disabled people receive help each year from Wales’ Social Services. Many of these services are delivered in partnership between organisations from the housing, health and education sectors. The Welsh Government is intending to develop legislation that maintains and enhances the wellbeing of people in need. A duty to that effect will form part of the Bill. Our key concern has been the need to make Social Services in Wales sustainable. Our strategy for this was set out in Sustainable Social Services for Wales: A Framework for Action. The central purpose for this Bill is to provide the legislative framework to enable us to deliver that strategy. Providing appropriate services often requires intervention at an earlier stage and reflects a key principle of the Welsh Government’s approach to sustainable development. Part of the Social Services (Wales) Bill will encourage the promotion of preventative strategies and access to support that will result in better outcomes for people; which we hope will save on more costly interventions at a later stage. The legislation aims to give individuals a stronger voice and real control of the services they use, enabling them to understand how care and support can help them. It will also place a duty on social services and the NHS to collaborate in how they deliver integrated services. WG15470 own Copyright 2012 © Cr The Sustainable Development framework is thinking long-term The Welsh Local Government Association, through their Sustainable Development Framework have been encouraging local authorities and Local Service Boards to develop techniques and approaches to long term thinking for their strategies and partnerships.
