SUMMARY:James Attwood Memorial Lecture\, 13 November 2024: What is the 'Highland Problem' of 2024?
DESCRIPTION:6.45 pm for Teas/Coffee. Main event 7.10 pm \nSixty years ago the Highlander was the ‘man on Scotland’s conscience’. Then the solution to the Highland Problem was to induce the movement of labour out of\, and not the movement of capital into\, the region. Today\, there is forecast £110 bn of investment over the next thirty years\, the Highland Problem looks somewhat different. \nToday’s communities struggle to recruit and retain key workers and services. Long established sectors restrict growth because they can’t recruit. The renewables sector\, critical to Scotland’s future economic fortunes\, could bring thousands of highly skilled long-term jobs and workers to the Highlands and Islands. But\, has nowhere to house them. \nIf we want our communities to benefit from this massive transformation\, we must ensure new people come\, and these new people bring their families and stay. So how do we make sure we build the right houses\, in the right places\, in the right timescales? \nThe Speaker \nAilsa Raeburn is Chair Community Land Scotland\, the national organisation that speaks on behalf of and advocates for community landownership and land reform. She also sits on the Boards of Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Crown Estate Scotland. \nAilsa is passionate about supporting communities to become more resilient and sustainable through the ownership of local land\, buildings and natural resources. This includes access to affordable and accessible housing for families and working age people which in many parts of the Highlands and Islands is severely constraining economic and community growth.

What will frequencies and journey time be like? Will the network still be manned? Is your journey really necessary? One thing is for sure: if Covid had never happened it would have been much harder to imagine. \nPlease Book for Event Here   \nThe Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation is hosting this deferred 2021 event \nThe Annual ‘Professor James Attwood Memorial Lecture’  is hosted by the 13 member organisations of CPDC-Highlands and Islands\, on  a rotational basis \nIt will commence online at 6pm and  feature a Q&A session with the speaker towards the end of the evening.\n(We are sorry safety considerations required moving the evening online\, rather than live at Inverness Town House} \nThis event is open to all members of CPDC organisations and also to the General Public.

SUMMARY:Professor James Attwood Memorial Lecture 2020 - online\, Tuesday 03 November 2020\, 6pm
DESCRIPTION:“Controlled Demolition and Our Illustrious Scientific Forebears” – Speaker: Bob Johnstone\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Scottish Regional Group of The Institution of Structural Engineers in conjunction with CPDC (H&I) present the Professor James Attwood Memorial Lecture 2020\, on the topic of controlled explosive and controlled collapse demolition. \nFOLLOW THE EVENT LINK TO BOOK YOUR FREE PLACE AND TO RECEIVE JOINING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THIS ONLINE EVENT. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe controlled collapse of large structures\, whether initiated by explosives or mechanical means\, can offer significant advantages over other methodologies in terms of health risk\, programme and cost. \nRisk avoidance or reduction is the main priority on any project\, but can only be achieved by developing a thorough understanding of the structure taking account of age related deterioration\, modifications that may have been carried out during its working life\, and the structural preparatory works to be carried out in advance of demolition. \nTemporary works design\, control and monitoring during this process are key to the safe execution of the structural preparatory works. \nDesign in particular involves conventional assessment of a static structure with stresses induced by load redistribution checked in accordance with current codes of practice. \nStability during engineering preparatory works is one thing\, but predicting how the collapse mechanism will develop and where the structure will land is another. \nFor that we need to refer to the fundamental Laws of Physics and pay tribute to our illustrious engineering forebears for development of the principles that allow us to understand this. \nSpeaker\nRobert Johnstone\, Keltbray

SUMMARY:Exploring the Influence of Land Reform on the Scottish Planning System
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 27 February 2019 at 12:00PM – 2:00PM\nVenue: Canal Parks Pavilion\, Highland Rugby Club\, Inverness\, IV3 5SS\nOrganiser: RTPI Scotland scotland@rtpi.org.uk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThe Scottish Land Commission was established under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016 and became fully operational on 1 April 2017. The Commission seeks to create a Scotland where everybody benefits from the ownership\, management and importantly for planners\, the use of the nation’s land and buildings. \nHead of Policy and Research Shona Glenn will give an insight on the Commission’s work in relation to land use planning and discuss the contribution that can be made by planners in furthering land reform. Topics include land for housing and development\, land value capture as well as recent work on compulsory sale orders. \nThe event will also have a particular focus on the role of planners in promoting public interest led development in Scotland. It will seek to explore the following: \n\nWhat are the barriers and opportunities for delivering more public interest led development in Scotland?\nWhat is the role for planners in delivering this type of development?\n\nBooking – via RTPI website\, see link below.
