21 May 2024 – 23 May 2024: Virtual Study Group – The Future of the High Street

We need your skills for the following virtual study group (VSG) and hope it will be of interest to you. Do you fancy exploring challenges on the regeneration of city centres? If so, then please read on.

Developed by Innovate UK Business Connect in collaboration with the Scottish Cities Alliance Team on behalf of V-KEMS and supported by the KE Hub, this three-day virtual study group aims to bring mathematical scientists and other disciplines together to address challenges involved in city centre regeneration.

Aims and Objectives

The aim of this event is to bring together those working in mathematical and data sciences, mathematical modelling, town planning, city centre regeneration, social aspects of city centre living, and so on to address the challenges involved in high street development for the benefit of society.

Challenges

  • Examining the impact of the 20-year lease
  • Exploring the impact of existing retail and leisure developments outwith the city centre on the objectives of city centres strategies and investment plans?
  • The repopulation of Scottish City Centres

A useful additional output would be the collation of information for each challenge on existing data, e.g its consistency across cities, richness, accessibility, information about data that would be useful but is missing, and so on.
