Activity: Talk or presentation types › Invited talk
I presented a talk examining the contemporary challenges confronting the city of Birmingham, with a particular focus on the socio-economic impacts of austerity. The presentation proposed strategies for urban resilience through the reinvention of Birmingham’s industrial heritage, the promotion of art and culture, and the deployment of tactical urbanism as a means of fostering community empowerment. The discussion was supported by a series of case studies that illustrated practical applications of these approaches in comparable urban contexts.
