-FRAME:works – Social Innovation in Planning for the Built Environment

University of Strathclyde (Department of Architecture), the Glasgow School of Art (Mackintosh School of Architecture) and University of Glasgow (Department of Urban Studies) have come together to organise this event which is the next in a series of symposia organised over the last few years by the Department of Architecture at the University of Strathclyde. It directly follows last year’s event entitled “Social innovation Systems for Building Resilient Communities”, which introduced the emerging practice of social innovation and its impact on new approaches to design in the built environment. That event brought together a diverse set of academics and practitioners to showcase networked approaches to planning, informed by deep engagement with communities. Building on this theme, this year’s symposium will focus on policy frameworks, and how multi-disciplinary collaboration - between a wide set of stakeholders and agencies - can lead to more holistic place-based strategies for inclusive growth. Bringing together speakers from the three urbanism-focused universities in Glasgow, the symposium is set to combine best practice from the Scottish policy context, with an engaging set of speakers from around the world.

FRAME:works – Social Innovation in Planning for the Built Environment is an opportunity to initiate new conversations around policy development and the planning system. In a context where resources for development are decreasing, how can we develop agile systems for building resilience that allows us to make best use of tacit knowledge and experience that exists within local eco-systems? Iterative and agile approaches to social transformation need robust policy, devices and planning instruments that allow for public participation – allowing sustainable development based around the needs and well-being of communities. With a keynote presentation from Distinguished American Professor of Architecture Henry Sanoff, we will examine the value of civic engagement and ethnographic research. Other presentations will position the emerging practice of service design, and the digital or data-led tactics that are provoking changes in the planning system. At a local level, we will also hear about changes underway to the Scottish planning systems that embeds citizens in the decision-making process. In summary, the event is looking to develop a dialogue around policy frameworks that deliver on shared outcomes for Health and Wellbeing, Circular Economy and Inclusive Growth, and can influence better joined up policy and planning system.

Background to this symposium can be found in the recently published paper, “Social Innovation Systems for Building Resilient Communities” - http://www.mdpi.com/2413-8851/2/1/13 - by Donagh Horgan and Prof. Branka Dimitrijević-

FRAME:works – Social Innovation in Planning for the Built EnvironmentFriday 18th May 2018 – Strathclyde Business School, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow9:15 Welcome and Introduction to the morning session, Professor Ashraf Salama,

Head of the Department of Architecture

9:25 Paradigmatic Perspectives on Social Innovation in Built Environment Pedagogy, Research and Knowledge Production, and PracticeProfessor Ashraf M. Salama - Head of Architecture, University of Strathclyde

This talk is centred on three major principles that reflect current and potential commitments to invigorate the quality of the built environment through the paradigm of social innovation. The first is that the roots of understanding social innovation in built environment are in the education of future professionals and in preparing them for real world social challenges. The second is that architectural and urban education is not simply and only the imparting of knowledge and skills necessary for successful practice, but it involves the development of socio-cultural, philosophical, and ideological positions that require collaborative trans-disciplinary research approaches. The third is that architectural and urban design practice possesses considerable potential to advance the understanding of social innovation by engaging in inclusive and proactive participatory and collaborative processes. Coupled with these principles, the questions raised by the presentation will highlight potential answers relevant to the extant and new multi-layered knowledge that have the capacity to enhance the social innovation paradigm at the academic, professional, and policy levels.

Ashraf M. Salama is academic, scholar, and Chair Professor in Architecture. He is Professor of Architecture and Head of the Department of Architecture at the University of Strathclyde Glasgow, UK.

9:45 Frameworks for engagement with planning and placemakingDavid Wood, Planning and Policy Manager - Planning Aid Scotland

The work of Planning Action Scotland is very much action and practice based with their work and projects framed by the development of planning policy and legislation – and much more widely by other policy frameworks (and social change). This presentation will introduce the work of PAS including the framework

FRAME:works – Social Innovation in Planning for the Built EnvironmentFriday 18th May 2018 – Strathclyde Business School, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow

for engagement with planning and placemaking set by current planning system. Taking into consideration future opportunities presented by planning reform and local place plans, it will raise the equalities issues around engagement, seldom heard groups, and the use of technology to promote better engagement and community resilience.

David is a chartered planner working full-time at PAS in the position of Planning and Policy Manager. Prior to this he worked at a planning consultancy and was also a PAS volunteer. He has particular interests in community engagement within the planning system, in facilitating people to be involved in shaping the places where they live, and in how planning policy and guidance can help promote this.

10:05 Democratic design and building resilience from the bottom upHenry Sanoff, Professor of Architecture -School of Architecture, North

Carolina State University, USA

Community design utilizes a range of tools and methods, which are meant to enhance efficacy and outcomes. The difference between traditional design and community design, when using these tools, is in the dynamics of the relationship between the designers, the participants, and the community as a whole. The presentation will demonstrate the application of participation tools applied in different community settings over time.

11:50 Decision-making tools for building resilient planning frameworks Craig McLaren, Director of Scotland and Ireland at Royal Town Planning

Institute

The presentation will introduce research commissioned by Scottish Government into the skills needs for planners, undertaken in the context of the Review of the Planning System, and what lessons can be learned. RTPI Scotland has led a large study in this area informed by the working group established by Scottish Government on Leadership, Skills and Resources, and, the Scottish Planning Skills Forum. Research looked to ask what skills and knowledge will be required for the new planning system? How can we support planners to ensure that they have or attain these skills? Who should be responsible for doing what? How can any activity be resourced? In taking it forward, a number of principles were agreed which can inform improved decision-making and planning performance

The presentation will go through high-level findings from research conducted this year in Chicago, Detroit and other post-industrial contexts in the USA. This will include stories collected from action research that trace some of the policy decisions that have created conditions of social inequality and deprivation in America’s Mid West. With a focus on the community of Bronzeville, South Chicago we will learn how communities are looking to take control of redundant assets, attain energy independence, and drive policy change to enable social innovation. Featuring findings from interviews with core stakeholders from Bronzeville Urban Development around their journey to reimagine a vacant railway embankment as a solar farm with associated social infrastructure to develop local capacity for decision-making and community resilience. The presentation will touch briefly on the legacy of the settlement house – a community centre typology from which the policy and practice of modern social work emerged.

that technology goes alongside human interactions and that it plays an important role to support good contacts between people.

15:10 The role of the designer as innovator looking to nurture sustainable improvements in urban lifeDr. Ambrose Gillick, Mackintosh School of Architecture- Glasgow School of Art

A democratic deficit exists in the way in which current models of engagement and planning are undertaken. This can be seen in the increasing use of external agencies to undertake consultative, participatory exercises which rarely elicit meaningful change but also evidence a lack of democratic engagement by planning authorities within communities. Simply, planners should be able to analyse and act on the evidence before them, as has been the case historically. By acting remotely and apparently lacking knowledge and expertise to analyse conditions accurately, planning agencies do not produce urban realm that adequately emancipates and empowers communities. To bridge this gap, we suggest that the production of small-scale interventions by communities, with the assistance of professional guidance where necessary, should be supported via new democratic approaches. Work of this kind and coproduced effectively by communities, can serve as tools to reveal the socio-spatial conditions and needs within neighbourhoods as they are identified and experienced by communities themselves.

Ambrose Gillick is a designer, lecturer and researcher and a director at Baxendale. He received a PhD for a thesis on coproductive urban development practices in post-disaster contexts from the University of Manchester and has since has helped write books, make exhibitions, put on conferences and curated shows on modern cities, houses and churches in the UK and Europe.

15:30 Urban events: Towards ecologic practices in urban design and spatial innovationKristine Samson, Associate Professor - Department of Communication and Arts, Roskilde University, Denmark

In recent years, the notion of events and event cities have been applied in urban studies and urban planning theory. The notion of events has been applied both as a critique towards cultural led urban planning (Smith, Krivy, Swingedouw) and creative urban activism (Mayer, Harvey) and as an analytical framework to capture the bodily, material and affective practices taking place in everyday urban life (McGormack, McFarlane, Andersen & Holden, Pløger). Whether urban events are intentionally created as part of cultural and participatory planning approaches, or they emerge from the multiplicity of every day practices and infrastructures, events are increasingly becoming the core notion to explain urban transformation. Drawing from the research project Evental, the presentation will sketch an approach to cultural planning not using urban and cultural events simply as linear tools in urban development, but rather working with the multiple and relational processes between for instance the user citizen, existing urban qualities and sensorial and social potentials in the city.

Kristine Samson is an urbanist and Associate Professor at Department of Communication and ArtsRoskilde University in Denmark. She is currently working with urban participation, culture and events to understand the complex processes in urban environments. Her current research project, Evental Urbanism 2015-2019 - a subproject in the national funded research project in Affects, Interfaces, Events supported by the Danish Ministry of Education and Research - seeks to understand how urban events affect urban environments and the citizen. And, in particular, how urban events partake in urban transformation processes both as part of strategic urban development, and as the manifold micro-events taking place in everyday life. She is in the board for the research network TAKE PART, 2016-2019 led by senior researcher Birgit Erikson, Aarhus University. Here she looks into urban participation, and how art and culture increasingly are used as part of social and spatial innovation. Kristine Samson has published internationally on subjects such as participatory urban design, performative urbanism, DIY urbanism, emergent urban design and situated methods, art in public, and cultural planning.

15:50 Urban Performance and the context of ResilienceGustavo Ferro, Artist based in Glasgow and São Paulo, Brazil

To finish, we must come full circle, to consider what we mean by resilient communities, and what are the challenges that social innovation – whether in the built environment or elsewhere – needs to address.
