The Academy of Urbanism are supporting the 2016 China-UK Ideal Town and Garden City Summit on 26th April organised by China Design Centre.
China’s national policies now promote the development of small towns in response to huge issues of congestion, pollution and lack of facilities in large Chinese cities. China Design Centre is bringing 33 Chinese representatives to the China-UK Ideal Town and Garden City Summit to exchange ideas with UK urban specialists about sustainable, liveable and thriving towns. The event is focussed around town-making debates and will appeal to UK architects, masterplanners, urbanists, environmentalists and engineers who want to discuss ideas with the visiting delegates from a top Chinese developer on the ingredients of an ideal town and who are interested to find out more about the issue in China.
The Summit will debate new Garden City ideas and will look at best practice for eco-towns, market towns, community engagement, creative quarter and elderly living in the town as well as town centre design and management. It will show how UK’s experience and lessons can be beneficial to current thinking on town making in China. The summit will also introduce examples of new Chinese towns and compare them to similar projects in Europe and the UK.
UK contributors include Letchworth Garden City Heritage Foundation, URBED, John Thompson & Partners, ADAM Architecture, Farrells, Hawkins\Brown, Studio REAL, and Penoyre & Prasad.
NEWARK — The University of Delaware has named Penn State assistant Amy Altig as its new women’s lacrosse head coach.
Altig also played goalie at James Madison (2001-05) and was a member of several U.S. national touring squads.
In her nine seasons with the Nittany Lions, they won 111 games with seven NCAA Tournament appearances and two trips to the NCAA Tournament Final Four. Prior to her time at PSU, Altig was an assistant at Princeton (2007-10) and Richmond (2005-07).
As a goalkeeper at JMU, Altig led the Dukes to two Colonial Athletic Association titles, was a two-time All-CAA pick and was selected to the North/South STX Senior All-Star Game. A two-time team captain, she also earned a spot on the 2004 CAA All-Tournament Team and still ranks in the Top 12 of three career statistical categories at JMU.

Since 2017, Altig has been the defensive coordinator/goalkeepers coach for the USA National team.
Pounding music, vibrant costumes and the smell of Caribbean food have signalled that London's annual Notting Hill Carnival is well and truly underway.
and 7,000 police officers on patrol to keep order in west London.
More than one million people are expected to attend the Caribbean celebration over the course of the Bank Holiday weekend, with warm weather drawing larger crowds than expected yesterday, while rain is predicted today.
Revellers who do brave the rain will be treated to a jam packed programme, with 60 bands on the bill for what is known as the 'adult day' of the annual festival.
By 9pm last night police had made 95 arrests, including five for possession of offensive weapons, 35 drugs arrests and 10 for common assault.
The numbers were down on day one of last year's event when a total of 111 arrests were made, most of them for drug and public order offences. In total officers had arrested 301 people during the 2013 carnival.

The event is one of the largest operations in the Metropolitan Police force's calendar. Chief Superintendent Robyn Williams said the force's priority is to 'facilitate a safe and vibrant carnival'.
Children's Day saw family-friendly floats make their way from Westbourne Park Underground station to Ladbroke Grove. However, the thumping bass of the sound systems was as loud as ever. Organisers said this year marks the first milestone in the build-up to the event's 50th anniversary in 2016.
Michelle Johns, 44, from Lincoln, who was watching the procession with her husband and two daughters yesterday said the atmosphere was great.
'It's brilliant fun. Everyone is friendly and having a great time,' she said.
Theresa Smith, 69, who lives in South London but is originally from St Vincent in the Caribbean, helped to make costumes for children joining the South Connections band which took part in the procession.
She said: 'I love the carnival, I've come every year since 1987.
'For two days of the year the streets of London are mine as a West Indie.
A number of business owners and residents have boarded up their properties on the carnival route in a bid to avoid damage. A gang crime crackdown in the run-up to the party has seen 157 arrests and the seizure of guns, drugs and thousands of pounds in cash.
As part of Operation Kent officers retrieved two machine guns and a handgun, crack cocaine and around £78,000 in cash. Officers known as'super-recognisers' are primed to spot those banned from the event, as well as gangs and groups who attend.
However Chief Superintendent Williams said the arrests did not indicate the level of crime expected at the event.
However she warned visitors to be alert and take steps to reduce their vulnerability to low level crime by not wearing valuable jewellery or holding mobile phones on show and considering how much they drink.
The event has taken place since 1966, when it was introduced to improve race relations in the area. The event has become increasingly popular in recent years and now contributes an estimated £93million to the local economy.
Safety concerns about the number of people packing into the narrow streets have led some to suggest the event be moved to Hyde Park. But many say such a move would take away the tradition of the carnival.

SMART boards are large computers that look like whiteboards, providing interactive learning. The plan was to raise about $82,000 to purchase and install one in every classroom, making Truman Benedict the first school in the district to do so.
While the PTA, a private donor and the school's education foundation have raised $57,000 for the purchase and installation of the SMART boards, the money will only pay for 14 boards. Originally, the PTA was going to pay $37,000 up front and request the rest of the money, $45,000, from the district, with the intention to pay it back. When the district declined, the PTA decided to take $20,000 more from their general fund to purchase more boards this year.
District spokesman Marcus Walton said that organizations like PTAs and education foundations are always changing and a new board could decide they have different priorities – leaving the district on the hook for any debts.
"We really do appreciate all of the effort and support, but at the same time the district can't be held liable long-term, for any debts of a non-district entity," Walton said.
"We encourage our school connected organizations and community to support our schools and getting SMART boards into classrooms is a great goal and we want to encourage that, however the district has other responsibilities and commitments and we cannot accept donations from any organization that commits us to purchasing something or taking financial responsibility," he said.
PTA President Angela Jones said she doesn't understand
