TOOLS & WORKSHOPS FOR NEW URBANISM IN ISRAEL
Second Annual International Conference - November 29-December 1, 2006
MIU's second annual International conference on New Urbanism in Israel invites participants from around the world to partake in a series of lectures and workshops aimed to discuss and apply New Urban principles in Israel. Following the success of last year's conference, which introduced the public and professionals to the core principles and goals of Urbanism in Israel, we ask the question: How can we spring our philosophy into action?
Hosted in the beautiful port city of Haifa, the conference will introduce the latest urban planning tools that were created over the last year by leading professionals, members of the MIU organization. In a series of exciting planning workshops we will have teams working with Haifa residents, professionals, city & government representatives on several key areas in the City. WWW.MIU.ORG

Short Course in Urbanism and Architecture
THE POLITICS OF PLACE
October 11-13, 2005 - London, UK

event offered by
The Prince's Foundation

What is the best way to structure meaningful "local involvement"?
Political processes have always shaped the built environment. Under the new Planning Policy Statement 1, a "Statement of Local Involvement" is required for most new and regeneration projects. How can this new requirement best be addressed, and how can a potential liability be converted into an asset, helping to create a stronger and more successful project? What are the approaches available, and their advantages and disadvantages?
Led by Paul Murrain, co-author of Responsive Environments, and a pioneer of the public participation process Enquiry by Design, and joined by other leaders in the field, including sociologist Ken Worpole, RIBA urban design champion John Thompson, Planning for Real proponent Nick Wates, and Placemaking advocate Rob Cowans, this masterclass will examine the broader challenges and opportunities of public participation, using some of the toughest case studies in the most complex political environments to illustrate how local concerns and bureaucratic disorder can be replaced with a shared vision of development, and a coherent basis for better design.
The course is £675 + VAT for all three days, pro-rated for one or two days. Special discounts for strategic partners, and limited full scholarships are also available. To register, contact Nanette Brew-Butler on (020) 7613-8548.

September 8-10, 2005 - Berlin, Germany
The Congress "30 Years of the European City" will focus on the topic of urban development over the last and the next 30 years and place this at the centre of debate.
