SUMMARY:Urbanism in Focus- How we live together and Interact in Cities
DESCRIPTION:A Debate and Discussion with ‘urban practitioners’  –led by Grant Butterworth\, Head of Planning Leicester City Council.\n\n\nBrought to you by Leicester Urban Observatory as part of LCB Depot’s Design for Life/Design Season 2022 \nUrbanism in Focus: A public debate between built environment specialists on how we live together and interact in and around Cities (Public Session) \n \nSpeakers include: \nMichael Hopkins is a Principal Planner in the Local Plans Team at Charnwood Borough Council.  Before working in local government he was a researcher in urban morphology at Birmingham University. He will provide a perspective on Urbanism reflecting on the relationship between Leicester\, Leicestershire and Charnwood. He is interested in Urbanism as an emergent phenomenon linked to the parts and wholes that make up built form (bricks – walls – dwellings – street/neighbourhood – settlement) and the importance of difference and connections in its creation. He will explore  relationship of Leicester as the central city with Loughborough and the Soar Valley villages and how urban or not they are in terms of form and function. \nDave Singleton was originally a geographer and surveyor from the East Midlands. He stopped making maps and moved into landscape architecture some thirty years ago.  Latterly he has dabbled in urban design.  And even urbanism.  He set up DSA Environment + Design in Nottingham 2005.  DSA is currently working on a number of public realm projects including in Sheffield\, Rotherham\, Grimsby and a redesign of Maid Marian Way in Nottingham as well as several large housing schemes and healthcare settings.   Dave will introduce a perspective on Urbanism from the Landscape architect’s point of view. Dave teaches at Nottingham Trent University and University of Nottingham.  He is an author of Building for a Healthy Life and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.   His interest centres on how people engage with place\, in particular the role of blue-green infrastructure in making places\, and what this might mean for the health of people\, creatures and the natural environment upon which these depend.  Dave considers Urbanism to be the study of people’s interaction with an urban (that’s to say in contrast to rural) environment. \n Representative from the Royal Institute of British Architects (To be confirmed) To offer the perspective on how architects define\, assess and respond to the challenges and opportunities of Urbanism \n \n\n\n\nhttps://leicesterurbanobservatory.wordpress.com/

SUMMARY:Lives in Crime: Exploring Everyday Life in Georgian Wales through the Court
DESCRIPTION:A free public lecture by Dr Angela Muir (University of Leicester). Organised by the Leicester Georgian Interest Group. EVENT POSTPONED\n\n\n*EVENT POSTPONED* \nA fascinating talk from a leading local academic\, this talk on Georgian  history will take place in the Georgian era build Great Meeting House in the centre of Leicester.  \nWhat can an alleged arson tell us about eighteenth-century courtship customs? What can a bludgeoning death involving a chamber pot tell us about poverty? What can the murder of a sex worker tell us about neighbourliness and charity? What can these cases tell us about ‘everyday’ life in Georgian Britain? This paper explores the social and cultural history of Wales in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries by examining richly detailed depositions\, examinations and confessions from the Court of Great Sessions\, Wales highest criminal court prior to the 1830s. These records provide a fascinating glimpse into aspects of the past that are often difficult to access\, including the lives of ‘ordinary’ men and women\, their cultural practices\, economic circumstances\, and their influence on their communities and society.

SUMMARY:City Series - Vibrant Leicester: Buzz and the New Urban Economy
DESCRIPTION:City Series is a public lecture series in Leicester that delivers free events relating to a wide range of urban topics\, such as architecture\, history and geography. This is a collaboration between Leicester City Council\, De Montfort University\, University of Leicester\, and Loughborough University\, with speakers from those institutions and from the wider community. \nThe latest event will be on the findings of an exciting local research project into the dynamics of ‘buzz’ in helping shape the new urban economy in a city like Leicester. It has been argued that ‘buzz’ is said to emerge from the concentration of socially and culturally significant sites\, such as music venues\, restaurants and bars\, cultural quarters\, and marketplaces. An example would be the LCB Depot and Leicester’s Cultural Quarter. Such ‘buzzy’ sites are key urban amenities that are believed to attract ‘talent’\, make cities ‘liveable’\, and are thus imagined to be vital to the economic competitiveness of cities. Exploring recent investment in the urban environment of the city centre\, a series of short talks will look to unpack the concept and explore what it practically means for the future development of a place like Leicester. \nThe event will feature contributions from the team leading the research project out of the University of Leicester: Dr Stefano De Sabbata\, Prof Gavin Brown and Dr Ben Coles. Prof Loretta Lees will chair the event.                              A Q+A session will follow. \nThis event is in partnership with: LCB Depot and CAMEo (Research Institute for Cultural and Media Economies).

SUMMARY:City Series - Edwin Lutyens: Architecture of Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:City Series is a new public lecture series in Leicester that delivers free events relating to a wide range of urban topics\, such as architecture\, history and geography. This is a collaboration between Leicester City Council\, De Montfort University\, University of Leicester\, and Loughborough University\, with speakers from those institutions and from the wider community. \nThe latest talk will be delivered by Tim Skelton\, author of ‘Lutyens and the Great War’. Tim has written on a wide range of subjects\, including travel and history\, but has researched the work of Lutyens extensively and is a member of the Lutyens Trust. \nThe work of the eminent architect Sir Edwin Lutyens is central to the way in which we now remember those who have given their lives in the service of their country.  His Cenotaph forms the centrepiece of Remembrance Sunday and the Memorial to the Missing of the Somme at Thiepval is the largest British war memorial in the world. \nLess well known is the work that he did for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in the design of cemeteries on the Western Front and the 50 memorials that he designed at home and abroad including Leicester\, which was the largest of all.  As well as inspiring architecture\, the commissioning of the memorials tells interesting stories about British communities as they sought the best way to mark the loss that they had suffered. \nThis event has been part-funded by the ‘Story of Parks’ project. More details of the wider programme\, which has been supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Leicester City Council\, can be found here: http://www.storyofleicester.info/explore-leicester/story-of-parks/  \nFurther details on forthcoming City Series events can be found on: https://leicesterurbanobservatory.wordpress.com/events/

SUMMARY:Leicester’s Changing Landscape: the city and modern architecture since 1945
DESCRIPTION:City Series is a new public lecture series in Leicester that delivers free events relating to a wide range of urban topics\, such as architecture\, history and geography. This is a collaboration between Leicester City Council\, De Montfort University\, University of Leicester\, and Loughborough University\, with speakers from those institutions and from the wider community. \nThe latest lecture will be delivered by Dr Elain Harwood\, a senior architectural investigator with Historic England\, formerly part of English Heritage.  Between 1996 and 2004 she was primarily responsible for the latter’s post-war research and listing programme\, which led to the books Space\, Hope and Brutalism\, and England’s Post-War Listed Buildings. \nElain Harwood’s talk will focus on the post-war expansion of Leicester\, which produced new churches and schools of great interest.  It will take in other ambitious but unrealised schemes\, including the proposals for a civic centre by Chamberlin\, Powell and Bon. It will also look at the physical expansion of the University after gaining its independent charter in 1957\, when a development plan was produced by Sir Leslie Martin followed by a series of buildings by Britain’s leading modern architects.  \nThis event has been part-funded by the ‘Changing Leicester’ project.
