- 12. Waterside Impact • WatersideCampus development, operational by 2018; • How much ‘good stuff’ can we do when we spend £330million building a campus?; • How much additional funding can we lever into the County?; • Strategic partnerships: Moulton College, NCC, NBC, NEP, University and contractors – how many trained and employed construction apprentices can we support through the Waterside construction; • How many new houses can this new work force build in the County by 2031 (target is 80,000); • University has a detailed social impact action plan for the Waterside.
- 13. Waterside Impact • Onenew hall of residence in Northampton brings over £750k p.a. new spend by students to the town centre (440 students); • What will 15,000 students and 650 staff bring to the town centre?; • Effect on cultural life of town?; • Impact of University as largest organisation in Enterprise Zone; • Strategic projects to bring businesses to Northamptonshire, as well as grow our own.
- 14. Waterside Impact • Significantopportunities for local SMEs in supply chains of major contractors working on Waterside (social impact a key element of PQQ and ITT); • Significant opportunities for local SMEs as suppliers of services to University when new campus is operating.
- 15. Quote from thePrime Minister “The Government is playing its part through the Enterprise Zone and through the development of the railway station, but what’s so exciting about this is the amount of good work that the borough is doing alongside the Government initiative and the private sector is coming forward and developing it. It you take it all together – the Enterprise Zone, the railway station and all the projects I saw on the on the Northampton Alive map – and also the fact that one day the University might want to move and free up more sites for development and change where it is in the town, all of that is ambition, it’s drive, it’s exciting and it means Northampton can be a success story...”

- 89. Connectivity and TownCentre Regeneration Behind Michael Bloomberg’s long-term plan for the city is a Danish professor and urban planner named Jan Gehl, who for several years has been quietly, if not slowly, guiding the remaking of New York. “We used to say we plan at the scale of Robert Moses, but we judge ourselves by the standard of Jane Jacobs,” she said. “That’s not really true anymore. We judge ourselves now by Jan Gehl’s standard.” http://www.capitalnewyork.com/article/culture/2010/09/468271/planyc-guru-plays-west-village-gig-sold-out

New Urban Extension:Malmö Bo01 Key Learning Points As a district, Bo01 has succeeded in establishing quality building with the focus on the choice of materials and better integration of the landscape and urban spaces. As far as insuring the success of Bo01 is concerned the two most important documents have been the quality programme and the detail plan. The unique thing about the quality programme was that it was initiated before the plots went on the market. The quality programme formulates a shared ambition which obliges the involved parties to guarantee quality of architectural expression, materials and technology. The detail plan specifies physical requirements concerning execution. Monthly lectures for the developers, the municipality and other partners maintained a focus on the vision on a new district, the sustainability of which would be way above average. Compliance with the quality programme was important, although most of all it was the fact that planning became a shared learning process which ensured that the parties involved remained in step.
