IMPACT 360°: SUCCESS STORIES FROM THE SUSTAINABLE URBAN ENVIRONMENT

ISSUES presents IMPACT 360°: Success Stories from the Sustainable Urban Environment.

IMPACT 360° presents research findings from the EPSRC’s £45m Sustainable Urban Environments (SUE) research programme to stimulate discussion amongst the researchers, decision makers, practitioners and policy makers about urban futures, urban sustainability and pathways to achieving impact.

Taking in the panoramic view from the 29th floor of Millbank Tower in central London, IMPACT 360° will focus on a selection of 360° Impact Success Stories, as told by the SUE researchers themselves, set alongside messages from key figures about the importance of ensuring research impacts in the ‘real world’.

Attendance is by invitation only. The number of places available is limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you are interested in attending the event contact Annabel: a.cooper@hw.ac.uk.

‘SUE: A Project in Posters’ on the move again

The Local Government Association Head Quarters at Local Government House has become the latest high profile venue to host the Sustainable Urban Environment digital poster exhibition.

Based in Westminster, close to the Houses of Parliament and Whitehall, the LGA lobbies and campaigns for changes in policy, legislation and funding on behalf of member councils and the people and communities they serve.

The LGA consists of 422 member authorities, including county councils, metropolitan district councils, English unitary authorities, London boroughs and shire district councils, along with fire authorities, police authorities, national park authorities and passenger transport authorities.

‘SUE: A Project in Posters’ is on display in the Open Council, a forum where members can meet colleagues from local and national government, industry and academia.

This latest move follows a successful stay at the BRE Innovation Park, the world leading demonstration development designed to give a glimpse of how the future delivery of sustainable buildings and communities can be achieved.
