Monitoring

 

Short description of the pilot

 

Following the 1999 population trends report and an acknowledgement by policy makers that action needed to be taken to address population decline a strategy document was developed by Dundee City Council and Scottish Enterprise Tayside, the regional development agency, to revitalise the city centre of Dundee and in turn the wider region. In 2001 this was developed into a master plan for the city. This strategy is now being realised through the implementation of the masterplan beginning in August 2008.

An approach which will be used is to monitor the implementation of these strategies, to develop an effective way to communicate these strategies to stakeholders and actors which should increase awareness and understanding.

 

Main aim

 

To develop an increased awareness and understanding of public policies to tackle population decline. To help policy partners identify key stakeholders, their means of interaction and the sources of information required for sustainable public policy implementation.

 

Expected results

 

The pilot project will assist local authorities in the full integration of sustainable development policy into their practices and procedures to respond to demographic change through knowledge exchange between the University and local authorities, and other regional actors using collaborative projects and dissemination activities based on leading edge research.

 

 

Co-partners

 

The pilot projects will be led and managed by the University of Abertay Dundee, with Dundee City Council, Scottish Enterprise Tayside and the Scottish Government as policy partners. The University of Abertay Dundee will combine expertise in policy implementation and sustainability assessment, with our world leading expertise in modelling complex systems and computer arts and visualisation.
