Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Without his experience and wisdom, our bid would never have succeeded.” TONY BLAIR “Craig Reedie was a constant source of wisdom and advice throughout the extraordinarily complex business of delivering the Games.” SEBASTIAN COE • This year marks the 10th anniversary of the 2012 London Olympic Games • This book tells the story of how it happened - by the man at the very centre • Sir Craig Reedie provides a unique insight into the world behind world sports 27 July 2022 marks the tenth anniversary of the London 2012 Olympic Games. There is no better time to hear the full inside story: from the long and uncertain build-up to the 2005 London bid, to the phenomenal delivery of the Games themselves in July 2012, eruditely told by the man who masterminded it: Sir Craig Reedie. Delivering London’s Olympic Dream: A Long Life in Sport gives a fascinating insight not just into the Olympics but also provides reflections, humorously told, of Sir Craig’s life and how politics, business, and ambition—both personal and national—are inextricably connected in World Sports. Reedie—a former Badminton Doubles Champion—was instrumental in calling out and sanctioning the 2016 Russian doping scandal during his tenure as president of the World Anti-Doping Agency. He was of the view that the 2-year ban (reduced from 4 years) from competition was too lenient. As president of the International Badminton Federation, Reedie was responsible for elevating Badminton to an Olympic sport in 1985. In 1992 Reedie became chairman of the British Olympic Association. He joined the International Olympic Committee in 1994 and became President of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in 2013.

Book excerpt: The Academy of Urbanism was founded in 2006 with a mission to recognise, encourage and celebrate great places across the UK, Europe and beyond, and the people and organisations that create and sustain them. This book is a compendium of seventy five places that have been shortlisted as part of the Academy's annual awards scheme which covers great Places, Streets, Neighbourhoods, Towns and Cities. Included are 75 places shortlisted between 2009 and 2013. Each has been visited by a team of Academicians who have spent time in the place, talked to officials and local people and sought to understand what it is that makes them special and how they have achieved what they have achieved. The Academy also commissions a poem, a drawing and a figure ground plan to understand and interpret the place. David Rudlin, Rob Thompson and Sarah Jarvis have drawn on this treasure trove of material to tell the story of these 75 places. In doing so they have created the most comprehensive compendium of great urban places to have been published for many years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manchester, a radical, gritty northern metropolis initiated a new way of working in the 18th century, creating extraordinary wealth for the whole nation, defining a new way of living with suburbs for the middle classes, and inner city terraces for the working classes. In the 21st century, Manchester is undergoing a remarkable renaissance, transforming itself through an investment in physical infrastructure, prestige projects and quality architecture. Manchester creates one third of the Northwest region's wealth and is determined to become a leading European city, with a wide range of imaginative strategies in place to achieve this aim. Manchester: Shaping the City demonstrates the constant spirit and originality of Manchester's people and the physical, social and economic improvements, which continue to drive the city forward. It includes a timeline of critical regeneration activity and events over the last twenty years using case studies such as No 1 Springfields, Urbis, No 1 Deansgate and Beetham Tower, to name but a few, to illustrate the processes involved in this major physical regeneration of the city, and the contribution of these processes to future projects. The book is just the beginning of the next chapter in Manchester's history. A city that has proved it has the ambition, confidence, and determination to keep its place amongst the key regional cities in Europe.

Download or read book Changing local governance changing citizens written by Durose, Catherine and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2009-10-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between citizens and local decision makers is a long standing policy pre-occupation and has often been the subject of debate by politicians across parties. Recent governments have sought to empower, activate and give responsibility to some citizens, while other groups have been abandoned or ignored. Drawing on extensive up-to-date empirical work by leading researchers in the field, Changing local governance, changing citizens aims to explain what debates about local governance mean for local people. Questions addressed include: what new demands are being made on citizens and why? Which citizens are affected and how have they responded? What difference do changing forms of local governance make to people's lives? The book explores governance and citizenship in relation to multiculturalism, economic migration, community cohesion, housing markets, neighbourhoods, faith organisations, behaviour change and e-democracy in order to establish a differentiated, contemporary view of the ways that citizens are constituted at the local level today. Changing local governance, changing citizens provides a pertinent and robustly empirical contribution to current debates amongst policy makers, academics, practitioners and local communities about how to respond to this changing policy framework. It will be of interest to post-graduate students and academic researchers in politics, public and social policy, sociology, local government and urban studies, as well as policy makers and practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the influence of private United States (US) philanthropic foundations in the governance of global problems. Through a close scrutiny of four high profile case studies of public-private collaboration, the work addresses the vacuum present in global governance scholarship regarding the influence of foundations, arguing the influence of these actors extends beyond the basic material, and into the more subtle and complex ideational sphere of policy and governance. This book: charts the growth of private forms of governance and foundations’ role in deepening and extending private power in global politics provides a historical examination of private foundations in international affairs including their centrality in the development of the institutional architecture in international health and agriculture and the linkage back to domestic political systems analyses the new modes of philanthropy and giving styles – particularly venture philanthropy and ‘philanthrocapitalism’ – and how these are being rearticulated in the aid architecture and in development discourses evaluates distinctive features and unique attributes of foundations as transnational actors (including their limitations) – how they use these attributes when exercising policy influence and how they negotiate and collaborate with other state and non-state actors in global governance provides an introduction to three prominent foundations – Gates, Rockefeller and the Acumen Fund – and four key partnerships – IAVI, GAVI, AGRA and A to Z textile Mills. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of international organizations, international political economy and development studies.

Download or read book Co producing Knowledge for Sustainable Cities written by Merritt Polk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the current time, many issues and problems within sustainable urban development are managed within traditional disciplinary and organizational structures. However, problems such as, climate change, resource constraints, poverty and social tensions all exceed current compartmentalization of policy-making, administration and knowledge production. This book provides a better understanding of how researchers and practitioners together can co-produce knowledge to better contribute to solving the complex challenges of reaching sustainable urban futures. It is written for academic and professional audiences working with urban planning and sustainable cities around the world. Co-producing Knowledge is presented, by way of introduction, as a non-linear, collaborative approach to knowledge production which combines interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary, cross sector and policy approaches to societal problem solving. Examples are taken from Cape Town, Gothenburg, Kisumu, Manchester, Melbourne and a selection of cities in Southeast Asia. Each city chapter discusses the drivers and motivations behind knowledge co-production and gives concrete examples of activities and approaches that have been used to promote sustainable urban futures. Each chapter is written to promote mutual learning from the approaches that are already in use. Building upon these city cases, the conclusions outline an international practice and research agenda aimed at strengthening the promotion and implementation of the knowledge co-production for sustainability across diverse urban development contexts. This book provides an overview of the diverse driving forces behind co-production, and their specific contexts and constraints in a variety of cosmopolitan urban contexts. Some of these include institutional and cross-sector barriers to co-production, the need for learning across diverse levels and contexts, and strategies for balancing scientific excellence with the needs of societal change. This book offers valuable lessons regarding the concrete implications and potential impact that co-production processes can have for different user groups, such as planners, politicians, researchers, business interests and NGOs in different urban development contexts.
