Lucy Craggs 2013-04-30T14:49:45Z American Association of Geographers Annual Meeting http://www.bartlett.ucl.ac.uk/cpm/news/americanassociationofgeographersannualmeeting At the AAG (American Association of Geographers) Annual Meeting, Los Angeles, Professor Andrew Davies presented his research on the London Olympics construction project, focusing on the delivery model and its implications for how we understand the management of project complexity. The mini conference entitled 'An unlikely Success story? Olympic cities and the London 2012 Experience' was well attended and organised by Mike Raco of the Bartlett's School of Planning. Gernot Grabher and Joachim Thiel of Hamburg University were also in attendance. The success of the 2012 London Olympics construction programme has been recognised and praised across the globe and proved to the world that Britain had both the capacity and expertise to not only successfully deliver such a complex and large-scale project. But there is a need for a clear post-event strategy to ensure that a legacy remains for London long after the Games had left the city.   The Bartlett: UCL's global faculty of the built environment.

Brigid C B Marriott 2013-01-28T12:24:43Z The Bartlett spin off Space Syntax to play key role in making Glasgow a ‘city of the future’ http://www.bartlett.ucl.ac.uk/news/glasgow-space-syntax The Bartlett spin off company, Space Syntax , will play a major role in Glasgow’s development as a ‘city of the future’, following today’s announcement of a £24 million of government investment for the city to host the ‘Future Cities Demonstrator’ by Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts. The Glasgow ‘Future Cities Demonstrator’ aims to determine how cities in the future should function, and will address some of the city’s most pressing needs, including health, energy supply and improvements to travel infrastructure and mobility. Using research methods developed at The Bartlett to map and analyse the current condition of Glasgow’s active travel network, Space Syntax will identify and map the active and sustainable modes of transport across the city to increase the number of everyday journeys made by walking or cycling, and reduce traffic and pollution, making a significant impact on the development of ‘Active Travel’ in the city, a key component of the Scottish Government Health Programme to improve life expectancy in Scotland. Welcoming the announcement, Dean of The Bartlett and a director of Space Syntax, Professor Alan Penn said “This expresses great confidence in the city's ability to invest £24 million in a project which must deliver tangible benefits using new technologies in just under 24 months time. If Glasgow, a city with a great culture and heritage, can use new technologies to restore its former position on the world stage, then that will be a demonstrator worth having. He added, “UCL research will be playing a role to help make this a success as Space Syntax Limited are involved in the project bringing their expertise in advanced spatial analysis and simulation to bear on the challenges faced by the city” Iain Gray, Chief Executive of the Technology Strategy Board, which made today’s award commented:

“The global market for innovative approaches to delivering efficient, attractive and resilient cities is growing, and UK companies – supported by our world-class academic and research base – are well-positioned to exploit it. This large-scale demonstrator will show just what can be achieved by innovative use of today’s technology, and will help UK companies develop solutions and technologies for the future, for the benefit of the UK economy.” Read more about Space Syntax’s involvement in the Glasgow Future Cities Demonstrator.
