The Big Shift

Meanwhile, back on the ground....

Here's a nice contrast with the Zaragoza junket (previous post), with its focus on the abstractions of brands and image as the key to a golden future.

It's about the real world, and it's much cheaper and easier to get to, too. (Council House, Sunday 28th, 9.30 till 5, £14/£8)

I wonder if Barbara Janke or our Director of Place-Making will find the time to go....

Instead of forking out £14 or £8 respectively on this event, wouldn't spending it with a local business (e.g. independent shop or pub) be a better (in the words of the event's promoters) "action towards a healthy, productive and sustainable city for the future"?

I don't know the promoters - but I imagine they're more likely than most to use any income in the way you describe.

Maybe if some of the Zaragoza costs had gone instead into making this a free event, that would be even better. Your FoI request might shed some light on what would have been available to spend.
