Abstract
Urban Education Live (UEL) aims to contribute to the making of inclusive, vibrant and accessible urban communities. The three-year project brings together university partners from Finland, the UK, Slovenia and Romania to develop and test new models of collaboration between universities, urban communities, NGOs and public bodies. It proposes that universities act as independent brokers, curators and catalysts of positive urban change and aims to build urban capacity between multiple stakeholders by employing innovative socio-spatial mapping and activation tools. This trans-educational approach - which engages universities, NGOs, vocational colleges, primary schools, businesses and municipalities in the design of urban spaces - will be supported by mapping techniques and technologies which will allow a high degree of sensitivity to emerging patterns of use, desire and need. Local hubs - akin to corner shops - will be set up to provide a locus for discussion and debate on these forms of producing and thinking space while also serving as centres for learning and doing for citizens, students, academics, city authorities and others. Through this "Super Site Specific" the project aims to establish agendas, methods and transformative spatial strategies that can address current socio-spatial complexities and challenges.
UEL is founded upon interdisciplinary collaboration between architecture, urban design and urban planning but its findings will also be useful for furthering knowledge in the social sciences, education, community development and service design disciplines. By aiming to understand urban issues from the bottom-up, UEL will assist partners and other educational institutions in finding new modi operandi.
In the UK context, the project seeks to specifically examine the increasingly devolved planning framework, whereby local communities are passed rights to develop buildings and neighbourhoods but without the adequate support necessary to translate these rights into radically inclusive spaces. On the local level, we aim to analyse, test and map models of collaboration between different actors that strengthen local innovative ecologies; while, on the national level, the project will contribute to discussions on creative collaborations between universities and local authorities to develop transformative spatial strategies that address 'austerity policies' and public sector funding cuts across the UK. The findings will contribute to the project's 'Dynamic Archive', to which each partner will contribute; it will be further articulated and developed during a series of symposia and summer schools; and will be critically examined through a series of non-academic reports and peer-reviewed academic articles.

Planned Impact
The research will directly and immediately benefit any individual, professional, institution and organisation affected by / working in the context of co-production & bottom-up community design projects. Specifically, the beneficiaries include representatives of each of the target groups listed below, who will be involved in the project as part of the mapping processes, through the discussion papers, interviews and production of design propositions. Active conversations throughout the project, not least through involvement of key stakeholders in the process of the design studios, will be sought to maximise impact through the vehicles outlined in the Pathways to Impact statement. In line with this, all impact activities will be discussed and co-devised with the UK Impact Advisory Board (UKIAB), to meet twice / year, which has representatives from local communities, local & central government, industry and academic institutions with expertise in co-production and engaged pedagogy.
[Please note: We refer to 2 main beneficiary groups - local authorities and communities - in the Part C of the submission, but have expanded on these groups further below.]
1) The groups and community initiatives, otherwise referred to as 'network of practices' (e.g. Portland Works, Abundance, Regather trading coop, studio polpo, foodhall, Reach, grow sheffield, Sheffield CLT), that will participate in the production of the Sheffield specific-map. The map of existing initiatives and groups working in the city of Sheffield will feature stories of these groups, put them into a new context and provide (through blog and other dissemination strategies) a platform for their exposure to a wider audience. The groups will benefit from this exposure and the wider dissemination of their stories.
2) Communities. UEL Sheffield will set up a space within 2 neighbourhoods in Sheffield. These hubs will be used as spaces for discussion, exchange, production of new agendas, ideas & designs. Each of the communities within which one of the hubs will be established (the precise location will be established following the initial mapping process, focus group sessions and interviews) will be invited to work with UEL to reimagine their socio-spatial relations together with Masters-level students who will work on specific proposals that will articulate and visualise ideas. Communities linked to the hub will directly benefit from the ongoing exchange with the research and the design proposals. They will, together with the research team (of which the students will be part of) be able to articulate and co-create ideas for their localities - ideas which will have the scope to be implemented. The reflection of the particular experiences will be documented in the report which will be aimed at making available to the wider public the challenges and opportunities of co-production.
3) (UK) local authorities. Faced with funding cuts, city councils are often overwhelmed with questions on how to continue adequate public provision. UEL aims to develop new agendas and tools that radically rethink how community provision can be implemented. Knowledge of the Sheffield case studies - as well as the case studies from all partners - have the potential to guide local authorities across Europe and beyond in their own respective processes of socio-spatial transformation. The reports, but in particular the dynamic archive will serve as a growing resource that can be tapped into by these entities.
4) Universities / programmes. Many architecture and design based programmes have shifted towards a 'live' based learning process. Here, the project and its findings will benefit these programmes by providing in-depth knowledge on the potential of such approaches. While many such approaches are relatively short-term (6 weeks to 1 semester), our 3-year study will provide a medium-term perspective of these methods and their possibilities and will have impact on other programmes in the UK and elsewhere.

| Description | Key achievements/contributions to knowledge: Developing and testing research methods involving live pedagogy and presence of Sheffield School of Architecture in the city through local Hubs: - developing Live Works Hub / Urban Room as a research approach - an extension of the University in the City centre, where collaboration, co-creation and engagement of communities meets research and teaching - developing local satellite Hubs - extending the central Hub into research focus area of Sheffield (presence of students, using temporary pop-up hubs for research, outreach and teaching activities) Documenting stories from 'on the ground' community organisations and local people: - a rich database of knowledge demonstrating in more depth the nature of work in community groups and organisations across Sheffield in the climate of austerity and limited resources, specifically in regard to the built environment, and the potentials of working with SSoA to overcome some of these challenges - students worked as co-researchers, engaging local people in conversations through interviews and surveys, and developing design ideas in collaboration with local people to speculate upon more sustainable spatial futures of their local area Key findings/reflection: In order to maximise the University's offer to the City's future built environment: - Students and live pedagogy should be at the centre of the Civic University (as opposed to current emphasis on research and outreach) - Students can play active role in community capacity building through their coursework and subsequent volunteering - Value a hybrid model of live/participatory teaching and research (co-research, co-design) - Value both 'deliverable' and 'speculative' design proposals HE Culture and Strategy has shifted towards liveness since 2017 (start of UEL): - Civic University Network has over 50 members. - TUoS has launched a 5-year regional engagement strategy across all faculties (with the intention of expanding Live Works into an interdisciplinary initiative) - Expansion of Urban Rooms Network - local councils, regeneration bodies, civic trusts, universities, arts organisations - Live Works/UEL offering best practice & critical voice - HE metrics turning towards (social) impact - REF, TEF, KEF Ongoing Challenges to University/Community Collaboration: - Institutional inertia - traditional structures, ways of thinking and bureaucracy block agile and responsive collaboration - The increased turn towards liveness in addition to student numbers rising with little coordination results in even greater stress placed on community partners - Overall negative perceptions towards the University in communities persist - the institution is disconnected, distant and extractive, even if individual relationships are more positive - Lack of joined up central institutional support - disciplinary and research/teaching silos - Sustaining activity beyond academic calendar |
| Exploitation Route | Our findings have been shared with our research participants throughout the project as well as with academic and professional audience (UEL Seminars in Venice, Bucharest, Sheffield, and online UEL Symposium, as well as sharing knowledge at various conferences and professional networks), and our project partners through project meetings and symposia (in Ljubljana, Venice, Bucharest and Sheffield). In collaboration wit the Urban Rooms Network, we will work further to develop a Toolkit to share the knowledge of founding and running a University - based Urban Room. In collaboration with Sheffield School of Architecture students, UEL is also finalising a book: 'Tower, Room, City' summarising and reflecting on students projects produced over the past three years through Live Projects and Studio in Residence. Both the book and toolkit will draw on findings from and maximise the impact of the UEL research WP3 'Operation and Evaluation of Local Hubs'. The toolkit will share best practice and case-studies with URN members in a clear, engaging and accessible format and the book will evidence the impact that live pedagogy can have on urban capacity building to academic and community audiences. |

| Description | During the lifetime of our research project we have documented direct impact on representatives of community groups and organisations in Sheffiled that have been involved in our research and collaborated through Live Projects or other Live Works projects. The representatives highly valued the opportunity to exchange experiences and knowledge with other organisations in similar situations, and networking involved. The impact was reported by the participants and interest in further involvement in the project has been expressed. Direct impact in the community: - Direct economic impact has been achieved in our community partner Pitsmoor Adventure Playground, who have worked with our students to secure a grant to build/upgrade their existing building. - Raising awareness about how to contact University to get involved, local librarian involved in the project says: "I guess the good thing is I now know Carolyn, who I didn't know before ... as a starting point, if you know one or two people working at the university you can ask the questions" - Changing perception of local people of what Universities are and what they can do for the city and individuals, a quote by Patrick Meleady, PAP lead person: "The project was valuable in terms of just being here and getting children engaged and giving them the opportunity to know that they could also go to university and build a better life." This is a valuable move from the usual 'extraction research approach by the universities, resulting in research fatigue and lack of trust by the local communities. - Engagement of at least 300 non-academic people from Sheffield communities, with an estimate of 2000 having seen the student work exhibition on display at a local Tesco Superstore, as well as similarly high footfall passing the front window display at Live Works on the Moor: Sorby house: 15, Tesco: 2000, Play/Ground workshops: 100, Play/Ground LW event: 50, Interviews with community groups: 20, Surveys with local people: 100, Interviews with local people: 16, Advisory Board meetings: 5. - By adding a critical voice and sharing experience of our wider global research around the use of Live Works, we have impacted the work of individual community groups, artists, universities and councils involved in the Urban Rooms Network. - We have secured a further Knowledge exchange grant to accelerate findings in an accessible form for non specialist audience. Raising awareness/ changing perceptions of practitioners and other local and international professionals: - Our research findings have been shared with our Sheffield partners/participants, as well as nation-wide through Urban Rooms Network meetings, and internationally at UEL Summer Symposium in Venice, the UEL seminars in Bucharest (October 2018) and Sheffield (January 2020). The final UEL Symposium was held online due to CV19 pandemic restrictions, allowing us to broaden the scope of attendees and invited speakers to a more global level. - Challenging the slow response and inertia of institutional change from within the University and our department by showcasing the impact of engagement and work through Live Works. - Advocating against research fatigue in communities by working towards a more strategic and streamline approach to collaboration and evaluation of the live pedagogy approach to working with communities. |

| Title | Deep dives in local communities - Burngreave area of Sheffield |
| Description | Deep dives have been done by the Studio in residence and Live Project students - a series of interviews and surveys amongst local inhabitants of Burngreave/Pitsmoor area of Sheffield. The research has been done at local events organised by the students or local organisations, or in the street talking to local people. The classical interview / survey approach is now being revisited and will be done in a way to better suit the target participants (keeping research journals, documenting anecdotes and narratives rather than multiple choice surveys). |

| Impact | Masters architecture students work in Live Project groups with a range of clients including local community groups, charities, health organisations and regional authorities. Live Projects include design/build, masterplanning, building feasibility studies, sustainability strategies, online resources and participation toolkits. In every case, the project is real, happening in real time with real people. The Live Projects also get the students out of the ivory tower of academia and into the real world (in our case this is a real tower with the studios at the top of one of the tallest buildings in Sheffield). Live Projects establish an awareness of the social responsibility of the architect. The aim is to produce work of exceptional quality that empowers clients and students alike. The Live Projects are a pioneering educational initiative introduced by the School of Architecture at the University of Sheffield. |

| Title | Urban Education Live Local hubs in Burngreave as a research tool - engagement activity is approached as a research tool/mechanism |
| Description | 20th February - Studio in Residence set up a local hub in Burngreave Library for a day, and at local TESCO superstore for a week. Students were showing their work and talking to local people about how Sheffield could be more playful, more connected and more equal. Students were also asking people to voice their opinions about the space in their local area, engaging in an interactive mapping exercise, and conducting surveys/interviews. In this way, Local Hubs can be seen as a research and teaching tool - engagement activity is approached as a research tool/mechanism. |

| Description | The information about existing and active groups and community initiatives (otherwise referred to as 'network of practices') are being collected and mapped since the start of the project in July 2017 as an ongoing growing database. The map of existing initiatives and groups working in the city of Sheffield features stories of these groups, and provides a platform for their exposure to each other and a wider audience. The database is both spatial (at the moment based on Google Maps application) as well as social (collecting stories and information about the initiatives). In order to disseminate the database more effectively, we are working on website - in progress (March 2019) |

| Organisation | Aalfy |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | We are mapping vibrant and innovative community initiatives on the 'Network of Practices,' a digital Sheffield-specific map of groups and organisations, who are actively engaged in transforming the built environment in various ways. Our contribution to the partnership is enabling the organisations and initiatives to network with similar organisations within Sheffield and benefit from learning and connecting with each other. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Feeding into the overarching research questions of Urban Education Live research project, the Focus Group debates have been structured around participants' views and experiences of co-creation with communities, collaborations with the academia, documentation of work, and the relevant discourse in Sheffield. By contributing their time and sharing their expertise with the research project team, the community group partners help identify issues surrounding the background of their organisations, the activities they create with local communities, the views on their position in Sheffield, their experiences of collaboration with educational institutions and their ways of learning from experience. They also contribute their knowledge about the underrepresented areas in Sheffield, where we will work towards establishing new local community hub/s during the duration of the research project. |
| Impact | _______ 2017/18________ An exploration of the current situation in Sheffield through initial mapping of 'Network of Practices', Focus Group discussions, and in-depth interviews, are aimed at identifying the underrepresented areas in Sheffield, where we will work towards establishing two new local community hubs over the next two years. These spaces will act as focal points where researchers and students can work together with local communities and relevant stakeholders.The collaboration is multi-disciplinary, because each partner brought their own discipline and area of expertise (heritage, history, food&drink, events management, theatre, alternative economies, housing, culture, etc) to the home discipline of the research project (architecture). _______ 2018/19________ New Live Projects and other collaborations have emerged following these partnerships (Live Project AR city with Zak Ahmed from Aalfy and Robert Walker from Sheffield Digital Skills, Live Project Meersbrook Hall with Andy Jackson from Heeley Trust and Ruth Nutter from Ruskin in Sheffield, collaboration with Patrick Meleady and Pitsmoor Adventure Playground and the Studio in Residence). _______2019/20_________ The area of Burngreave / Pitsmoor had been selected based on the outcomes of interview analyses and observations. Pitsmoor Adventure playground was consequentially selected as one of the 2019 Live Projects, strengthening the collaboration with the group further through 2019/20 Build and Design Studio led by Lettice Drake. Friends of the Burngreave Chapel were also involved in the collaboration, and continue to be involved throughout the Studio. More engagement events are planned in that area throughout the duration of the research project and beyond (finding funding elsewhere). |

| PI Contribution | The wider context of conducting these interviews is that we are mapping vibrant and innovative community initiatives on the 'Network of Practices,' a digital Sheffield-specific map of groups and organisations, who are actively engaged in transforming the built environment in various ways. Our contribution to the partnership is enabling the organisations and initiatives to network with similar organisations within Sheffield and benefit from learning and connecting with each other. We also make available all our research findings and materials to the interviewees and invite them to research-related events and activities. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Feeding into the overarching research questions of Urban Education Live research project, the Interviews have been structured around participants' views and experiences of co-creation with communities, collaborations with the academia, documentation of work, and the relevant discourse in Sheffield. By contributing their time and sharing their expertise with the research project team, the community group partners help identify issues surrounding the background of their organisations, the activities they create with local communities, the views on their position in Sheffield, their experiences of collaboration with educational institutions and their ways of learning from experience. They also contribute their knowledge about the underrepresented areas in Sheffield, where we have established a new local community hub for the duration of the research project. |
| Impact | An exploration of the current situation in Sheffield through initial mapping of 'Network of Practices' the in-depth interviews are aimed at identifying the underrepresented areas in Sheffield, where we have established a new local community hub for the duration of the research project. These spaces act as focal points where researchers and students can work together with local communities and relevant stakeholders. The collaboration is multi-disciplinary, because each partner brought their own discipline and area of expertise (heritage, history, food&drink, events management, theatre, alternative economies, housing, culture, etc) to the home discipline of the research project (architecture). New Live Projects and other collaborations have emerged following these partnerships (Live Project AR city with Zak Ahmed from Aalfy and Robert Walker from Sheffield Digital Skills, Live Project Meersbrook Hall with Andy Jackson from Heeley Trust and Ruth Nutter from Ruskin in Sheffield, collaboration with Patrick Meleady and Pitsmoor Adventure Playground and the Studio in Residence). |

| Description | Live Project AR' City |
| Organisation | Aalfy |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | Research team was involved in some of the events and work done by the students working on the Live Project. One key component of the project is the educational component - students working with local communities through site-specific projects. The collaboration as described by the students: ''For six weeks, the AR' City Live Project team have worked in residence at Live Works, in the heart of Sheffield's city centre, working with local young people to develop a series of interactive technological installations as proofs of concept for a 'Playable City' festival to be hosted by our client Aalfy. Aalfy, established by Zak Ahmed, is a Sheffield based social enterprise aimed at providing people with new skills in order to better their futures and provide unique and inclusive learning opportunities. Also located in Live Works, 108 The Moor, we have worked closely with our client throughout the project's process, brief development, workshop facilitation sessions, concept recording and the production of final installations and client documents.'' |
| Collaborator Contribution | Aalfy shared their vision, skills and local knowledge with the Live Project student team and the research team to deliver the Live Project. |
| Impact | This is how the students described their outputs: ''The team sought to establish a set of documents and outputs that both met and challenged the client's original expectations and brief while also establishing a lasting legacy for the project that would help facilitate the client as AR' City moves beyond the SSoA Live Project and continues to develop towards its September 2019 launch goal. These outputs included a set of five client documents with relevant information for Zak to utilise and distribute to different stakeholders. One of these documents is a future workshop facilitation guide that can be either utilised by the client or shared with colleges to facilitate their own ideation workshops, recording and sharing of ideas to grow the online 'Ideas Bank' database established by the team. Additionally, three installation concepts were taken forward and developed in technical detail. Technical manuals for the construction and recreation of Hungry Bins and Musical Chairs stand as their own client document while the Sheffield Cinema has been taken forward through social media to test the concept within the local community. All outputs and documents are supported by a developed branding language established by the team in the form of a developed logo, graphic design style and branded merchandise to be distributed at future events and to potential stakeholders. All project outputs were displayed at an exhibition curated by the team at Live Works as part of the Social Arts Summit in Sheffield held on November 1st, 2018. This provided a great opportunity for AR' City to be debuted at its first formal public event showcasing proof of working installation concepts. This was an invaluable exposure opportunity for the client and the legacy of the AR' City Live Project that connected and established relationships between the project, Zak and local stakeholders passionate in getting involved with the project and taking it forward to realisation in the following September.'' The collaboration is multi-disciplinary in the sense that the collaborators are local people coming from various backgrounds |

The collaboration as described by the students: ''Our multi-headed client dreams of designing a rich vision, to present a case to the Council in order to be granted a 5 year lease on the building. Subsequently, we identified three keys ideas that our project could successfully engage with to ensure a lasting legacy continues; to 'Raise Awareness' - to showcase existing community activities of the hall and build public support, to 'Demonstrate Demand'- to collect evidence of need and wants from the community and to 'Create a Vision for the Future'- to design and preserve the Hall whilst activating and re-organising the building to become a sustainable community asset. We will achieve this through the creation of a phased programme of works to balance creative activity and insure a consistent turn-over of revenue for Meersbrook Hall to become self-sustaining.'' |

| Results and Impact | The purpose of the weekend workshops in the streets of Sheffield (the Moor) was to collect a vast range of opinions from as many voices as possible. Engagement with people was achieved through the use of various props, games and other activities (some of them described in the Arts section). The impact of the workshops is not directly known, however it encouraged people to think about the housing issues in their areas. Some findings impacted the further work of the students (eg. signage & map got the most attention, colour coding for the map was not straightforward, people struggled to find where they live on the map, space standards worked great with kids, squares on the ground got a lot of attention, but were not used to their full potential, people intrigued by the games & end up having a conversation even if not interested in playing, living room at the Moor idea not entirely successful, etc). All in all event was successful & many areas of Sheffield represented. |
