Heather Campbell is Professor and Director of the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia. Join us in this year’s Fourth Annual Bell Urban Forum, as a panel of prominent theorists and practitioners explore the urgency and challenge of translating urban knowledge into action. How then should evidence guide redevelopment policy making? When and why might governmental action be necessary and what should this entail? Should private sector actors be involved, and if so who will they be? What consequences will result from the project and within what time frame will benefits and costs be experienced? How should outcomes be evaluated? Who should participate in decision-making and how will costs and benefits be allocated among places and people? In this era of, on the one hand, smart city technologies, and on the other, of fake news, planners seeking to develop evidence-based approaches are both overwhelmed with information produced by surveys and sensors and bombarded with opinions supported by data drawn from consultants’ projections, professorial wisdom, and community discussions.Īll too often, evidence serves to rationalize past decisions rather than guide deliberation on choices for the future, and data can be used in questionable ways to justify projects. Dan Bell works at Urban Land Institute, which is a Business Services company with an estimated 318 employees. This dictum, however, leaves open what counts as knowledge. The legendary urbanist John Friedmann famously defined planning as the translation of knowledge into action. The soaring imaginative world and fast paced adventure is sure to charm children (and adults!) everywhere.Thinking Cities? Evidence in Policy, Knowledge in Action Stella is a fantastic character, determined and courageous in a world where girls are expected to sit quietly and behave. I particularly loved the different explorer clubs and their rules. The fantasy world seems vaguely set in a sort of Victorian style world, but with additions all the authors own. Following a dangerous flight over a crumbling ice bridge, Stella, along with three friends, wolf whisperer Shay, snobby Ethan and best friend Beanie set out on an incredible adventure encountering all sorts of magical and sometimes hilarious creatures, from giant yetis and golden geese, to carnivorous cabbages! There's peril and danger, laugh out loud moments and uncovering of an uncomfortable family secret, as Stella discovers who her mother and father were. This was such a vividly imagined fantasy adventure! Join Stella Starflake Pearl (what a wonderful name!) who fights tooth and nail to get to go with her wonderful explorer guardian Felix on a magical adventure into the Icelands (girls aren't allowed to become explorers.
