Empowering Local Voices: The Future of Community-led Regeneration in Scotland

Rethinking Regeneration: Community-led Development in Scotland Hello, dear followers! Today, I delve into a crucial aspect of urban planning and economic development—community-led regeneration projects in Scotland. This approach not only revitalises overlooked neighbourhoods but also empowers local communities, reinforcing the principles of economic freedom and self-determination. Recent years have seen the rise of community-led initiatives across Scotland, from local groups taking over unused public spaces to community ownership of essential services. These projects provide the dual benefits of improving local infrastructure and ensuring that developments are tailored to meet the real and expressed needs of the communities they serve. For instance, in Glasgow, local residents have transformed derelict areas into vibrant communal spaces, supporting local markets and social enterprises that breathe new life into the economy. Similarly, in the Highlands, community ownership of renewable energy resources has enabled local control over energy production, creating jobs and funding community projects. However, certain challenges need addressing to maximise the potential of these initiatives. There is often a shortage of initial capital, and not all communities have the same level of access to the necessary resources or expertise. Effective partnerships between communities, governmental bodies, and private investors can bridge these gaps. By facilitating access to funding, providing educational resources, and offering expert guidance, these partnerships can enhance the scale and impact of community-led projects. As we consider the future of urban regeneration in Scotland, it's crucial to support policies and frameworks that foster community empowerment. Encouraging the engagement of local residents in the planning and implementation process ensures that developments are sustainable and aligned with local needs. I welcome your thoughts on this subject. How can Scotland further support and expand community-led regeneration projects? Have you seen effective examples in your area that could be replicated elsewhere? Your insights are invaluable as we discuss how to harness local potential to fuel economic regeneration and sustainable development. Please share your thoughts in the comments below! Stay engaged and proactive in shaping the future of our communities. Warm regards, Alastair Majury *Perspectives Unbound* --- *Follow Alastair Majury for further discussions on transformative economic strategies and community-driven development in Scotland.*

Exciting news from Netting.com.au!

We're currently working on an innovative dam barrier netting project at the Royal Melbourne Golf Course. This durable, UV-resistant netting is designed to keep ducks out of the water while catching leaves and debris before they can pollute the dam, lake, or pond. Not only does this help maintain water quality by preventing algae growth, but it also keeps the area looking pristine.

Our custom dam and pond netting also helps to deter pesky predators like herons and other birds.

Need a bespoke bird netting solution? Contact the friendly Netting.com.au team today! Check out our Bird Netting page to see more of our projects and find the perfect fit for your needs.

I’m attempting to change things up a bit... To my new Apalachicola friends... Does anyone know when this boardwalk will be open again? Or if there are plans for grant requests to make repairs to the Lafayette Park? If not I’d love to add it to my list of things to purse: Fundraising event for Lafayette Park I hope everyone is ready for this whirlwind of a life that’s about to unfold. There are too many ideas & goals to just let so many fall to the way side. These may not happen next month or even next year, but they will happen. I can only hope that my goals will inspire others to set meaningful goals that make a positive impact. Side note: there will be a Chick-fil-A closer to town one day. That’s on the list too. #ladykdesigns #apalachicolablogger #lafayettepark #localprojects #apalachicolasunset (at Lafayette Park, Apalachicola, Fl) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9j3m3Dn3iv/?igshid=4rid498rl6fa

Space, the Final Frontier: Designing Interactions Beyond the Screen

Presented with Eric Mika at Interaction17, NYC on Feb 6, 2017

Talk Summary

How can ‘real’ space pull its interactive weight in the era of ubiquitous mobile computing?

Local Projects is an interactive design studio whose work has been bleeding off screens (and between disciplines) into objects and architecture during the past few years: houses that come to life with the story of their inhabitants, augmented-reality characters who guide you around museums, and physical DNA building blocks that children can use to create new lifeforms.

Eric and John, who lead technical and design teams at the studio, will share some challenges, triumphs, and insights into embedding interactions in physical systems:

Examining the ‘skeuomorphic-cycle’: How physical affordances inspired digital paradigms which are now feeding back into physical interactions.

Exploring new boundaries: How do we create seamless ‘interfaces’ between the digital and the physical?

Identifying opportunities: What new experiences are possible as devices become increasingly spatially-aware, and sense a user’s presence, state, or emotion?

Logistically, creating these kinds of interactions — even in low quantities — is easier and cheaper than it has ever been, but the freedom this entails amplifies design challenges. This talk equips you with some approaches and paradigms as you step into this exciting new realm for interaction design.
