SUMMARY:The Forgotten Pioneers – TCPA /Bartlett School of Planning Wiki edit-a-thon
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day of learning and practical action to celebrate women of the Garden City and New Towns movements\n\n\n\nThe Garden City movement was one of collaboration and collective action and would not have been possible without a coalition of countless voices. However\, in the telling of its history\, many of these voices have been omitted.  \n\n\n\nFollowing the 2020 TCPA project ‘The Forgotten Pioneers: Celebrating the Women of the Garden City Movement’\, the TCPA has been highlighting and celebrating the forgotten voices of the Garden City movement and promoting diversity in the movement today. One of the challenges to promoting diversity in the movement is the under-representation online of women in the built environment in mainstream and free internet sites like Wikipedia (more widely\, 85% of voluntary Wikipedia editors are men and of all the biographies on Wikipedia in English\, only 19% are about women). \n\n\n\nTo help redress the balance\, the TCPA is collaborating with the Bartlett School of Planning on a Wikipedia ‘edit-a-thon’ on women in the Garden City and New Towns movements (edit-a-thons are used to enable the updating and addition of content on Wikipedia\, about a chosen subject). The edit-a-thon will focus on creating and populating the Wikipedia pages for the women that are featured in the TCPA Forgotten Pioneers publication. Participants will also be invited to identify other ‘forgotten’ voices to add to the site. \n\n\n\nWikipedia editors\, members of the TCPA and Bartlett School of Planning teams\, and academic Dr Alina Congreve will assist with the running and research during the event. This is a great opportunity to gain new skills and highlight the achievements of women in the built environment. The programme will include a presentation about women in the Garden City movement and New Towns programme\, training on how to create/edit content on Wikipedia\, and research and editing time.  \n\n\n\nLunch will be provided. \n\n\n\nThis event is directed at the Bartlett School of Planning staff\, students and alumni\, but is ideal for anyone with an interest in writing and the built environment. It provides an opportunity to collaborate and play a practical role in recording and celebrating the legacy of women’s involvement in the Garden City movement and beyond. It will involve some prior preparation and only 30 spaces are available\, therefore we ask that you are able to commit to attending\, to ensure the best experience and outcome for everyone involved. \n\n\n\nBook your tickets early as there are limited places! \n\n\n\nWe hope this will be the first in a series of collaborative events aimed at improving the diversity of voices represented in online histories and dialogue on planning and the built environment.   \n\n\n\nThis event is a collaboration between the TCPA and:\n\n\n\n                                        \n                    \n                \n                                                \n                    \n                \n                    	\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDraft Programme\n\n\n\n10:00Welcome and introduction to the event – Katy Lock (Director of Communities & FJ Osborn Fellow\, TCPA) with Dr Michael Short (Bartlett School of Planning)10:10Presentation about Women in the Garden City and New Towns Movements – Becky Lambert (Osborn Research Assistant\, TCPA)10:30Training: How to edit a Wikipedia page – Stuart Prior (Wikipedia)11:15Break11:30Training: How to edit a Wikipedia page continued – Stuart Prior (Wikipedia)12:30Distribution/picking of profiles to edit13:00Lunch13:30Time for editing 14:15Tips on writing and researching profiles – Dr Alina Congreve14:25Continue editing15:50Concluding remarks16:00End of event

SUMMARY:Understanding flood risk and the planning system in England – event for communities (London)
DESCRIPTION:The experience and risk of flooding is already a difficult reality for many people in England\, and is likely to become more common in future as a result of climate change. Many people in communities affected by flooding are keen to work with those who manage flood risk to make their local areas safer. \n\n\n\nThe planning system plays a key role in helping to make places safer\, by helping deliver the protection that is needed\, and by making sure new development does not make flood risk problems worse. However\, the planning system can be difficult to navigate and trying to get your voice heard can feel frustrating.  \n\n\n\nThis workshop will provide an introduction to the planning system\, with a particular focus on the relationship between planning and flood risk. \n\n\n\nThe session will include: \n\n\n\n\nA broad overview of the planning system in England\n\n\n\nThe planning system’s role in addressing flood risk – both in plan making (creating Local Plans) and development management (planning permissions)\n\n\n\nSolutions for improving the reduction of flood risk\n\n\n\nHow communities can influence planning in their area\n\n\n\nThe organisations involved in flood risk management\n\n\n\nWhere to look for further information on flood risk in your area\n\n\n\nAn overview of recent updates to planning practice guidance on flood risk and coastal erosion\n\n\n\n\nThis workshop aims to support people to navigate the complexities of the planning system and gain confidence in engaging with the planning decisions that affect them. The session will be of benefit to individuals and community groups wishing to engage with the planning system to ensure that flood risk is identified\, considered and appropriate action taken to reduce flood risk.   \n\n\n\nThese workshops are free to attend thanks to support from Flood Re and are being organised in partnership with the National Flood Forum. Participant information will be shared with the Flood Forum to support organisation of the event.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease select the number of tickets required before clicking ‘Get Tickets’ \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSupported by:

SUMMARY:20-Minute Neighbourhoods: Creating Connected Places
DESCRIPTION:20-Minute Neighbourhoods – Webinar 4\n\n\n\n20-minute neighbourhoods or ‘complete\, compact and connected’ places create the conditions for people to live healthier\, more active lives. This webinar – the latest in a series of TCPA webinars about 20-minute neighbourhoods – will explore how better connections across and between neighbourhoods can be achieved in different types of places\, including traditional settlements that were designed for walking but have become car-dominated\, and post-war developments that were designed in an era when it was assumed that car-ownership would be universal. \n\n\n\nImproving the physical infrastructure of streets and increasing their connectivity is however only part of what needs to be done to encourage people to choose active travel. In addition\, people need the confidence to know that they have the ability to reach their destination safely and on time; and need support and encouragement to change deeply ingrained habits such as driving to the local shops or school. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will explore ways of supporting people to do things differently. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull programme\n\n\n\n10:00Welcome and introduction by ChairJulia ThriftDirector Healthier Place-making\, TCPA10:10The Abbey Estate regeneration project: reconnecting a post-war housing estateGlyn TullyAssociate Director\, Head of Urban Design\, Levitt Bernstein10:30Kendal Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan: improving walking and cycling routes for everyday journeys in a historic townNicola ParkerSenior Programme Manager Cycling and Walking\, Cumbria County Council10:50Q&A11:05Break11:15Wayfinding: giving people the confidence to walk by transforming perceptionsRichard SimonPartner\, Director of Planning\, Applied Information Group11:35Healthier Communities: learning from place-based built environment interventions to increase physical activityDr Katy KarampourDr Gemma BurgessCambridge Centre for Housing and Planning Research11:55Q&A12:15Active Travel England – an introductionLaurence FallonDevelopment Management Team Leader\, Active Travel England12:25Closing remarksJulia ThriftDirector Healthier Place-making\, TCPA12:30Close\n\n\n\nSupported by:\n\n\n\n                                        \n                    \n                \n                                                \n                    \n                \n                    	\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCover photo credit: Levitt Bernstein

SUMMARY:Flood and Coastal Erosion: Understanding updates to the Planning Practice Guidance (December webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Climate change will increase the severity and frequency of flooding events\, and planning authorities must account for how flood risk may change over the long-term. \n\n\n\nPlanning Practice Guidance (PPG) on Flood Risk and Coastal Erosion was updated in August 2022 following the government’s review of policy for development in areas of flood risk\, and to bring in line with recent updates to the NPPF. This guidance update covers areas including:   \n\n\n\nthe application of the sequential and exception tests.the use of multifunctional Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS).surface water flood risk.safeguarding land for future flood risk management.natural flood management.supporting transition in unsustainable locations.\n\n\n\nThis webinar will provide an essential overview of these updates and discuss the implications for local planning authorities and those involved with the flood risk\, sustainable drainage (SuDS) or coastal change aspects of planning. \n\n\n\nUpdates to the PPG will be presented by Sam Kipling\, Flooding and Coastal Risk Management Senior Adviser at the Environment Agency. The session will be chaired by TCPA Director of Policy\, Hugh Ellis. \n\n\n\nThis event is free to attend thanks to support from Flood Re.  \n\n\n\n\nClick here to register\n\n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n11:00Welcome and introduction to planning for flood risk and coastal erosionHugh Ellis\, Director of Policy\, TCPA 11:10Understanding updates to the Planning Practice Guidance and implications for practitionersSam Kipling\, FCRM Senior Adviser\, Environment Agency11:40Q&A12:00Close\n\n\n\nNB this webinar will also run on 17 November at 9.30am\, visit the TCPA website to book for this alternative date.
