        Vision
        How Quality of Life is improved/ And How cost of living will be affected
        Talk about socially restorative places?
        Can this link with Claudia's / Shiyang's Disertations??

        Expand / Explain the concept master plans we created, which will cover Public Spaces, Transport networks and infrastructure in the 'new city'
        Green infrastructure

        Benefits they provide
        Climate change, flood risk, water management, food supply, efficient / renewable energy, creating comfortable and attractive places to live
        How and why garden cities are the cure (or one of the cures) to the UK housing crisis
        Create a design language
        Create Definitions
        create a design language, create some definitions
        Claudia: green city use biophilic city model

        Compact city
        Intelligent transport

        Compact city
        that surround a more dominant compact city
        How can this proposal alleviate the housing crisis in the UK? This is in response to the housing crisis, so we should address this issue and how we think our economic model will help with it.
        "Less than one in ten properties in many parts of the UK are affordable to single house-buyers, according to the homeless charity Shelter. " -Once we make this garden city, how will we make it affordable to everyone?
        restoring confidence in the housing market. invest in affordable housing, improve mortgage lending, regulate private rental sector, ensuring a mixed programme of urban regeneration and new settlements
        strong central government leadership
        adequate funding mechanism for 'new' settlements (one that captures land values)
        building are of a high standard of design and sustainability
        The Barker Review’s final report set out a range of policy recommendations for improving the functioning of the housing market:[29] Government should set out a goal for improved market affordability; additional investment to deliver additional social housing; ++++++++a Planning-gain Supplement to ensure that local communities share in the value of development;++++++++ a Regional Planning Executive to provide advice on the scale and distribution of housing required; allocation of additional land in Local Development Frameworks; a Community Infrastructure Fund to help to unlock barriers to development; and Local authorities should be allowed to “keep” the council tax receipts from new housing developments for a period of time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordability_of_housing_in_the_United_Kingdom
        I think the Community Infrastructure Fund would count as public money.
        "Nine million potential buyers are renting homes, often at outrageous cost; evictions are up and, if current building rates continue, Britain will have two million too few homes by 2020." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/10380248/The-housing-crisis-doesnt-just-need-new-homes-it-needs-new-towns.html
        Urban risk diagnostics - Plan for future
        Cities should predict environmental risk they face
        capacity to act
        scale
        pace of change
        physical geography
        Community lead
        different roles
        the patron - holder of the vision
        the promoter - short term
        the partners vested long term interest
        need money for renovation
        Patient investment
        Garden cities took a long time to make money
        focus on long term gain
        RADICAL IDEA
        We don't need new funding as we are retrofitting, adapting, reconditioning, recycling / up cycling existing built form and shaping into a modern day garden city
        Sorry I still think we need a viable funding option.
        Agreed, retrofitting, adapting, reconditioning, recycling all costs a lot of money and we deffinitely will need funding! We need a case study which shows where funding came from for retrofitting dwellings.
        Found a few of these; they talk about non-profit developers, investments, developers financial incentives, community groups, realtors, business improvement associations, media, contractors, property managers, government lax on codes and tax
        Aimee
        economics of reusing existing housing, retrofitting and adding on to it and making it better by rearranging the internal parts, adding on balconies and improving the surrounding landscape. I could perhaps find some case studies such as Park Hill flats and see if they have been an economic success compared to demolition and building from scratch?
        offer incentives the new homes bonus for local planning authorities, CIL, and neighbourhood planning for local people. Pat Willoughby 'Planning and Delivering New Garden Cities'
        local planning authorities responsible for leading way, planning ahead, unlocking land, securing funding for infrastructure
        New home bonus is public money. I am not sure if CIL and planning for local people counts as public money or not.
        Long term plan
        invest in peoples environment, 'healthy places healthy faces' (or something catchy referring to people?)
        reduce NHS costs, prevent ill health before it occurs
        stats : over past 50 yrs public spending on NHS has risen from 3.4% to 8.2% of GDP
        Over the next 50 years (2062) this will rise to 20%
        reference : Appleby,J., Spending on health and social care over the next 50 years: Why think long term?, pl The King's Fund, London, 2013.
        Canadian Public Health Association study (2012) costs 27 times more to achieve a reduction in cardiovascular mortality through clinical intervention than it does to achieve the same results through local public health spending
        examples
        Popular
        Show how local support for new city could be secured and demonstrated
        How interests of local community protected
        Show how residents be persuaded that benefits would exceed costs.
        cost estimations
        New city verses regeneration costs
        carbon costs
        regeneration more cost effective to environment
        they will be in control of what is happening
        Local decision making local empowerment - use communities local knowledge and interests to investigate how benefits of green infrastructure can be exploited in their neighbourhood
