Podcasts about Greater London Authority

Toren van Babel is een maandelijkse serie binnen de Architectenweb Podcast. Hierin praat architect Daan Roggeveen (MORE Architecture) met ontwerpers, ontwikkelaars en andere experts die allemaal hun eigen perspectief hebben op hoogbouw. Doel is het antwoord vinden op de vraag: hoe maak je nu een echt goed hoog gebouw? De gast deze maand is architect Fenna Haakma Wagenaar, hoofdontwerper bij de gemeente Amsterdam. In deze aflevering gaat Fenna in op woonkwaliteit in relatie tot de woningplattegrond. Maar we praten ook over haar jeugd in de Bijlmer; hoe het is om op te groeien in een hoog gebouw. Fenna vertelt over de invloed die dat had op haar latere werk als ontwerper en op haar afstudeerproject – dat inzette op het verder verdichten van de Bijlmermeer. Fenna werkte jarenlang als architect in Londen. We praten over haar rol in de Architecture and Urbanism Unit van de Greater London Authority daar, en over de London Housing Design Guide waar ze aan werkte. In deze Design Guide was de inzet om te komen tot breed gedragen kwaliteitsverbetering van de woningbouw. Ze vertelt over haar terugkomst naar Nederland en de stand van de woningbouw die ze aantrof. We hebben het over de relatie tussen stedenbouw en architectuur, en de rol van de building envelop. En we bespreken hoe je bij kleinere appartementen toch goede woningen kan maken, en hoe dat werkt in hoogbouw. Luisteren dus! Toren van Babel wordt mede mogelijk gemaakt door Stichting Hoogbouw.

Research from Imperial College London, and funded by the Greater London Authority, suggests ‘air pollution is damaging at all stages of life'. They found exposure to certain particles could lead to miscarriages, cause low sperm count and stunt children's lung growth. As well as cause chronic illnesses, cancer and strokes in adults.The findings come as Boris Johnson, publicly criticised the planned expansion of Ulez by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, saying ‘it has nothing to do with air pollution'. Frank Kelly, professor of community health and policy at Imperial College London, explains the significance of the findings and why there should be “nothing political when it comes to air quality”.

Nurses will go on strike for two days next month as part of a major escalation in a dispute over pay. Dozens of trusts will see nurses walk out on 15th and 20th December. It's a tricky time of year for the NHS at the best of times but the RCN say they've been left with no alternative.The Evening Standard's Health Reporter, Daniel Keane, discusses the potential impact and how we reached this point. In part two, Ross Lydall, our City Hall Editor and Transport Editor, speaks to Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, about his decision to expand the Ultra Low Emissions Zone to cover all of the capital.

Contents: Background Plan Corresponding plans Operation London Bridge Operation London Bridge (also known by its code phrase "London Bridge is down") is the name of a funeral plan for Queen Elizabeth II. The plan includes the announcement of her death, the period of official mourning, and the details of her state funeral. The plan was created in the 1960s and revised many times in the years before her death in 2022. The phrase "London Bridge is down" would be used to communicate the death of the Queen to the prime minister of the United Kingdom and key personnel, setting the plan into motion. Bodies involved in preparing the plan included various government departments, the Church of England, Metropolitan Police Service, the British Armed Forces, the media, the Royal Parks, London boroughs, the Greater London Authority and Transport for London. Some critical decisions relating to the plan were made by the Queen herself, while some were left to be determined by her successor. Reporting on the preparations, The Guardian described them as "planned to the minute" with "arcane and highly specific" details. As well as Operation London Bridge, there is an additional plan called Operation Unicorn, which details what would happen if the Queen were to die in Scotland, as ultimately proved to be the case. Running concurrently with Operation London Bridge is Operation Spring Tide, which addresses the accession of King Charles III to the throne and his first trip to the countries of the UK. Several Commonwealth realms developed their own plans for how to react to the death of the Queen.

A sweeping curved mural embraces visitors, creating a sanctuary for visitors to confront their own true selves in a safe and holistic environment. Ceramic sculptures and furniture encourage visitors to rest, contemplate, and connect with others. We interviewed Michaela on Season 12 of Talk Art, so do check out her episode also!!!Utilising flora and fauna motifs, Yearwood-Dan refutes the concept that LGBTQ+ people are “unnatural”. Instead she visualises the interconnectedness of the human and non-human experience, all the while expanding our understanding of what it means to be queer and to love. “The moment we choose to love we begin to move against domination, against oppression. The moment we choose to love we begin to move toward freedom, to act in ways that liberate ourselves and others. That action is the testimony of love as the practice of freedom.” - bell hooksAs nature and marginalised communities continue to be exploited around the world - compounded by the effects of climate change disproportionately impacting marginalised communities - Michaela Yearwood-Dan provides a vital tonic; encouraging us to adopt love as an action against societal and ecological injustice.

The UK Government will soon publish its highly-anticipated Levelling Up White Paper, setting out a plan to level up opportunities and to address the country's long-standing geographic inequalities.

What have fellow UK think tank experts made of the levelling up debate so far? How do they feel the agenda's narrative has evolved over the past eighteen months? What do they expect to see in the forthcoming Levelling Up White Paper?

In this Podcast we talk to Kathleen Kelley about her work in LocalMotion “to support local people to address social, environmental and economic priorities selected and driven locally and derive as much learning as possible from that process”. The circumstances facing communities and charities across the country are increasingly difficult. The long-term and continuing squeeze on funding to local government and for local services against a backdrop of long-established regional differences, has left charities – themselves resource constrained – increasingly having to pick up the pieces. Kathleen Kelley is now working with a number of independent funders who have been investing and supporting charities to survive and adapt for a number of years but they know that there is more they should do to support and boost the potential of people and communities, and crucially to do so through a place-based approach. Kathleen through her work is keen to understand how to be more effective collectively in supporting issues facing communities across the UK and how this might change practice Kathleen has led the development of the National Lottery Community Fund’s partnership funding approach, establishing strategic partnerships across the charitable, public, private and funder sectors. More recently she was Assistant Director of Communities and Social Policy at Greater London Authority implementing the Mayor’s strategies on Social Integration and Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion. Previously she worked at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation for 10 years --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/globalnet21/message

Hitting The High Notes is town planning's equivalent of Desert Island Discs. In these episodes Sam Stafford chats to preeminent figures in the planning and property sectors about the six planning permissions or projects that helped to shape them as professionals. And, so that we can get to know people a little better personally, for every permission or project Sam asks his guests for a piece of music that reminds them of that period of their career. Unlike Desert Island Discs you will not hear any of that music during the episode because using commercially-licensed music without the copyright holders permission or a very expensive PRS licensing agreement could land Sam in hot water, so, when you have finished listening to this episode, you will have to make do with YouTube videos and a Spotify playlist, links to which you will find below. Sam's guest for this episode of Hitting The High Notes is Victoria Hills, Chief Executive of the RTPI. Their conversation takes in Victoria's early work at Wycombe District Council, her move, via Steer Davies Gleave, to the Greater London Authority and from there her role at the Old Oak & Park Royal Development Corporation.

Shoutout to BtT Colleague Jodie House!!! Australia based, UK born and bred Bang the Table colleague Jodie House has NEVER listened to the UK Consult Podcast before, and with some flimsy excuses (at best) for not doing so, but can Jonno guess what sector she focuses on in her work, and what her favourite TV Show is, based on her name alone? Charly's Choons of the Week Elt's been listening to 'Tears' by The Stone Roses, have a listen here(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRg7oV6q05Q)! Should it be spelt "Tiers" though? Jonno is back from his 80s cheese last week, and re-enters Charly's Choons with the FAR more respectable Flawless - Phunk Investigation Club, check it out here (https://open.spotify.com/track/5oUH9Rl2PdFklGKc9kMBkE?si=taAhQ9eQSdGQIeIeAX6wsw)! General Themes Jonno highlights the lack of public consultation over important local planning, highlighting an article in which "Ealing councillors face dramatic vote over their leader and traffic controversy in extraordinary meeting." Read it in full here (https://www.mylondon.news/news/west-london-news/ealing-councillors-face-dramatic-vote-19133511).

They are using Balancing Act! Inspirational indeed! Mug of the Week Proudly awarded to Natalie Wells at Greater London Authority! HURRAH! Word Play at The Table What descriptive magic will Jonno come up with for the following words and phrases? Tumultuous Tongue-Tied Posturing Meldrew Moments Jonno has just discovered, aged 35, what a headache is! He's also grumpy about digital exclusion as a throwaway comment. We need to be far more understanding about digital poverty and factor this into our product development. BRAVO!
