Record of expert inputs shaping future city discourses for Urban Living Birmingham
The dataset consists of the transcripts of expert inputs considering how the conceptual thinking for both ‘smart’ and ‘natural or biophilic’ cities could combine to inform future urban discourses and critically reviewed a set of emerging characteristics that described the interface between these alternative discourses. These inputs include informed practice-based perspectives on themes identified in the literature and comparative assessments, testing the integrating principles identified in the research against business as usual silo approaches, which helped refine the research outcomes. Expert inputs were used to inform the identification of new ways of integrating urban futures discourses, in particular shaping the Smart City – Natural City interface, using Birmingham, UK as a case study. The files include the underlying data provided by a cohort of multi-disciplinary [anonymised] experts who contributed to the research; • the record of the group or table outputs from the Innovation Workshop of 12th September 2017 • copies of photographs of the collective ‘stickies’ contributions at the workshop • the original transcript record of the semi-structured interview conversations • records of Group telephone or meeting conversations • ‘work in progress’ collations of comments received; generated to share with contributors and with co-authors Full details about this dataset can be found at https://doi.org/10.5285/474e090d-4502-432c-b8de-ce9f33571f8e

The initial literature review was followed by a facilitated Innovation Workshop held in Birmingham, UK on 12th September 2017. Subsequent group discussions and individual or collective ‘deeper dive’ conversations followed and were held between September 2017 and November 2017. The transcripts of expert inputs were used to inform the identification of new ways of integrating urban futures discourses, in particular shaping the Smart City – Natural City interface, using Birmingham, UK as a case study. The research was undertaken by Mike Grace and Prof. David Proverbs of Birmingham City University, Prof. Alister Scott of Northumbria University, Prof. Jonathan Sadler of the University of Birmingham and Nick Grayson of Birmingham City Council. The research was supported by the Research Councils UK (RCUK) and Innovate UK as part of the Urban Living Partnership [grant number EP/P002021/1] from 2015-2018 and in particular for the Urban Living Birmingham project which was one of the 5 ULP cities.
