Every day. Some more research.: CITIES AND CULTURE

The concept of ‘planning’ and ‘managing’ cities is not a new one. Local administrations have often tried to tackle the challenges associated with large population density through territorial-based policies.

Urban regeneration is at the core of city planning. Urban regeneration can be defined as the integrated local redevelopment of deprived areas (neighbourhood, city, metropolitan area). It covers many aspects of city life: physical, social and environmental. Approaches depend on a city’s history, and therefore policies must be integrated and area-based.

urban renewal

Rehabilitation of impoverished urban neighborhoods by large-scale renovation or reconstruction of housing and public works.

Edited Book Presentations: Week 9 Tuesday 18 November 2014 1pm–5pm

In Week 9 Research Groups will present individual essay ideas and an overview of a proposed

Edited Book. These presentations will be assessed by tutors. Summative feedback on the aim,

focus, choice of location for research, and summary of the Edited Book will be provided. Each

presentation should be no more than 20 minutes long. All members of the group are required to

participate. Your presentation should be conducted as a slide show (in PDF format only) of the

presentation must be submitted via Moodle.

All presentations must meet the following criteria:

— A clear statement of intention regarding your theme and focus

— Evidence from lectures, of theories, concepts, precedents and problems that have

contributed to the development of the focus of your Edited Book

— A description of how and why you developed your approach to the Edited Book

— Edited Book front cover, title and subheading

— Contents page including individual chapter headings with short descriptions

— An account of the location in Oxford or London that you will use for the Edited Book

— A visually engaging, graphically consistent and well formatted presentation

— A bibliography

It is important that you meet all the above criteria. This is because the content of the

presentations are designed to furnish you with the requisite elements of your editorial, which will

be included in the final submission.

See the ‘Assessment Criteria’ for the Summative Feedback of the Edited Book presentation

which sets out the key requirements for the Presentation in Week 9.
