Let's ban the lazy language of 'best practice'. An exploration of how to enhance the effectiveness of international city-to-city learning (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Hambleton, R. (2018, June). Let's ban the lazy language of 'best practice'. An exploration of how to enhance the effectiveness of international city-to-city learning. Paper presented at Reconciling past and future urban and regional strengths. Annual Conference of the European Urban Research Association (EURA), Tilburg, The Netherlands

This paper sets out five reasons why there is no such thing as ‘best practice’ when it comes to international city-to-city learning and dialogue. The paper then widens the conversation to consider the nature of international exchange and distinguish... Read More about Let's ban the lazy language of 'best practice'.

Using interactive evolution to design behaviors for non-deterministic self-organized construction (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Heinrich, M. K., Zahadat, P., Harding, J., & Brandt, M. N. (2018, June). Using interactive evolution to design behaviors for non-deterministic self-organized construction. Paper presented at Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (SimAUD) 2018, TU Delft, Delft, The Netherlands

Self-organizing construction is an emerging subdomain for on-site construction robots. This not only presents new challenges for robotics, but due to the stochasticity involved in such systems, impacts the modeling and prediction of resulting built s...

Place-based leadership and radical public innovation: Lessons from mayoral governance experimentation in Bristol, UK (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Hambleton, R., & sweeting, D. (2018, April). Place-based leadership and radical public innovation: Lessons from mayoral governance experimentation in Bristol, UK. Paper presented at International Research Society for Public Management, Edinburgh, Scotland

This paper explores two related questions: 1) Does the institutional design of the governance arrangements of a city make a difference to the performance of place-based leadership? And 2) Does the leadership style of the individual exercising mayoral...
