CX Creative Exchange: Open Planning (AHRC 2013).
The Creative Exchange was
set up in 2012 to develop an experimental new knowledge exchange network to
generate value in the UK’s creative sector. In the four years since the start
of the project, we have united 120 researchers in the arts and humanities with
180 partners in industry, publicly funded bodies and community groups to
research and prototype innovative new services, products and experiences
related to the emergence of a digital public space in the UK. This project falls under the ‘Public Service Innovation and Democracy’ cluster and is being led by Lancaster University; Prof. R. Koeck (CAVA) is the lead of 6 academic researchers; core partners include Liverpool Vision, StardotStar Ltd, and Red Ninja Ltd.
Open Planning: Rethinking the Urban Planning Process in the
Digital Space is a project led jointly by the University of Lancaster and
University of Liverpool with the Liverpool City Council Planning Department and
Red Ninja Ltd. as key partners. With over 460,000 planning applications
recorded in 2012 in England alone (DCLG National Statistics 2013), the planning
system plays a key role in the shaping of our urban landscape, the places where
we work, live and socialise. Open
Planning has developed and piloted an idea that shows how digital locative
media innovation could transformation the planning application process in the
UK.
As Creative Exchange
project reaches its conclusion, Open
Planning has been selected as best practice project and to showcase the
value created by the network, and to debate the implications for digital public
space, the creative industries and public policy – in the Northern Powerhouse
and beyond. Prof Richard Koeck, Director of the Centre for Architecture and the Visual Arts (CAVA), will introduce
the project and team at:
Churchill Room, House of Commons
4-6pm, Tuesday 24th November
Friday. 30 July 2013
