Urban Hub at Party Conferences 2008:
Cities - the UK's future
The Urban Hub presented a programme of fringe events at all three party conferences this year. It brought together the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE), the Centre for Cities, the Core Cities Group and the Work Foundation for a series of panel discussions on the issues affecting cities - including housing and neighbourhoods, transport, devolution, cities and worklessness, and the role of businesses in city governance. The Hub was based at the IOD Hub in Manchester, at the City Inn in Birmingham, and the Hermitage in Bournemouth.
Britain's cities drive our economy and are central to social cohesion and climate change; all political parties are thinking seriously about how cities can be given more financial and political powers to create a brighter future. The Urban Hub examined the economic, social and cultural opportunities and challenges our towns and cities face in an uncertain economic climate. Our events explored how cities are changing now and what they might look like in the future, and asked what this means for the people who live in them and for public policy.
