  • "Best practice in Industry 4.0: Learnings from LCR4.0. Interview with Simon Reid"

    Best practice in Industry 4.0: Learnings from LCR4.0. Interview with Simon Reid by Ceri Batchelder, Ad Hoc URBACT expert

    Back in 2018, I was working on a project to try and bring together the digital and manufacturing communities in my region to collaborate. I’d heard that the city of Liverpool in the North West of the UK was making big strides in the area of Industry 4.0 and wanted to find out more. Along with a colleague, I was introduced to Simon Reid, then Head of Advanced Manufacturing, who was leading on an ERDF (European Regional Development Fund) funded project called LCR4.0 (Liverpool City Region 4.0).

  • The Neighbourhood Councils of Agen : a Citizen public service delegation

    In 2008, in order to provide answers in terms of participatory democracy and to improve on all questions of local works, the City of Agen decided to create Neighborhood Councils, even though there is no legal framework for it compelled to do so.

    [[{"fid":"47506","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_author[und][0][value]":""},"link_text":null,"type":"media","field_deltas":{"1":{"format":"default","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":false,"field_author[und][0][value]":""}},"attributes":{"style":"float: right; width: 150px; height: 149px;","class":"media-element file-default","data-delta":"1"}}]]The idea was to bring out representatives in each district, having for the inhabitants the legitimacy to act.

    « Finally, those who know their neighborhoods best are the people who live there. »

    Jean DIONIS DU SEJOUR
    Mayor of Agen
