Many of our events provide opportuniti es to learn new skills and contribute to the life of our city.

Highlights include the spectacular Engineering Fair at Anglia Ruskin University, talks from Matt hew Taylor, Chief Executi ve of the Royal Society of Arts; Nick Alston, Police and Crime Commissioner for Essex as well as the latest news from e2v regarding the New Horizon’s mission. There are also inspirati onal delights from Chelmsford historians, musicians, urbanists, academics, beekeepers and baristas. The Ideas Festi val is a Changing Chelmsford initi ati ve.

Changing Chelmsford is:• A loose network of people enthusiasti c about Chelmsford and its potenti al.• A social innovati on ideas incubator sti mulati ng new ways of looking at the city.• A forum bringing experts and lay-people together to mobilise initi ati ves.

This programme booklet was designed and compiled pro bono by the Anglia Ruskin University Design Collecti ve: Jeff Bray, Becky Lockwood and Daniel Tubi. Leonie Ramondt

The system is transparent and self-regulati ng. Not underwritt en or pegged to any currency, traders set and agree on prices via a system of transferable IOUs.

Using the RSA ‘Change Aims’ we will look at the power to create the city with Matt hew Taylor, head of the RSA.

A walking tour of changing areas in central Chelmsford. What does new development tell us about the way Chelmsford is changing to adapt for the future?

Host: Academy of Urbanism, Anglia Ruskin University & Changing ChelmsfordVenue: Anglia Ruskin UniversityTime: 6:30pm-8.30pm

What is needed to achieve our city aspirati ons? Chelmsford celebrates its heritage, its leading-edge industry, insti tuti ons and educati on. However, despite being the fi rst city in Essex, Chelmsford currently lacks culture, originality and a nati onal profi le. This ideas exchange explores: what kind of city could Chelmsford become? How can growth make it smarter, more liveable? How can we learn from other ambiti ous small citi es? Join us to consider ‘Future City’ strategies to contribute to Chelmsford’s Local Plan.


Is Chelmsford a city in character or in name only? Is it anti cipati ng changes in the way we work, travel, build communiti es? How can the citi zens create the city? Three linked events, in collaborati on with the RSA, Chelmsford Cathedral, the Academy of

Urbanism and Anglia Ruskin University. Join us at 1, 2 or all 3 sessions to contribute your ideas, creati vity & experience.
