Several hectares<br /> :- Rebuilt former castle and slaughterhouse – very different structures, need to find connection between them within same space – find central theme<br /> :- Castle – was built before Karlsruhe was established, but destroyed several times including during WWII, rebuilt in 1970’s so actually younger than slaughterhouse<br /> Paul Wilson<br /> :- Lincoln / NZ planning for expansions<br /> :- Settlement based on grid<br /> :- Policy changes affected the structure of the township<br /> :- Adjacent to University, which impacted how it developed also<br /> :- Water – half of township is on former lake edge, very wet area<br /> :- Land ownership – University owns large area of “drier patch”<br /> :- How did joining the UK change the development? Markets were lost overnight. NZ had strong trade basis for meat (especially lamb) and this market was lost when they joined UK<br /> :- How many people live there and who is involved in planning process? 2700 residents, not including University (4000-5000) and research facilities (300-400). Landowners, public, environmental agencies, education groups, health and welfare all involved in process<br /> :- Formal participatory design process? Generic process under 2002 local government acts – councils must produce community outcomes and plans. Issues addressed through structured planning sessions.<br /> Markus Peter<br /> :- Green belt Schweinfurt<br /> :- Structures/fortifications filled and destroyed because of development of war equipment<br /> :- Walls and ditches filled, department stores and other buildings built there<br /> :- Idea: make greenbelt around fort<br /> :- Rhein River – large, major river in Germany<br /> :- Project goal – to improve living conditions in city<br /> :- 1988 started project, one area completed in 2009, the others projected to finish much later<br /> :- Tourism? Not a strong component of Schweinfurt at this time, although there is a very important painter of the Romantic period from there – Carl Spitzweg, this could be used to build tourism<br /> :- Norman fortifications? Possibly just a copy of the Norman style, structure was for military defense<br /> :- Industry (garages, etc) will be relocated, but this is a long-term process<br /> Claudia Houck<br /> :- Studying connectivity around the river Lagan in Belfast, Northern Ireland, from the standpoint of visual connection as well as physical connection of amenities, greenspaces, city centre, etc. <br /> :- Really more about revealing networks, rather than connecting individual points<br /> :- Pedestrian connectivity and public space use important<br /> :- Revealing layers of history<br /> :- Much of the space along the river is now privately owned – regaining public space as corridor along river is an objective<br /> :- Framework: <br /> ::- Overall connections / networks<br /> :::- Separate objectives within this framework: history, environmental, recreational, functional, etc.</div>
