The Birmingham Sub-Regional Strategy is working to strengthen the National Trust's relationship with local urban audiences through 2015. A project officer will be hired to establish the Terrace Melting Pot Stories project in Sparkbrook to explore cross-cultural and generational issues through community events and research. Additionally, a promotional tour will launch in March 2013 to raise the National Trust's profile in Birmingham wards and sign up community ambassadors. Finally, strategies are being developed to increase membership in inner-city Birmingham areas and involve volunteers to support off-site activities like the tour and Terrace Melting Pot Stories project.

The article discusses urban partnerships between local authorities and the National Trust, comparing them to the choices in the game "Snog, Marry, Avoid". It suggests that some partnerships are positive like marrying, bringing long term benefits. Others are risky trysts that may end badly like snogging. Some projects are best avoided for all sides like choosing to avoid.NTCities - Walter Menzies

Birmingham has experienced rapid population and physical growth over the past few centuries, expanding from a population of around 1,500 in 1550 to over 1 million by 2001. This growth has resulted in the incorporation of surrounding towns and villages into the city boundaries over time. However, the rapid changes have also led to a loss of a shared sense of place and identity for some long-time residents as the places they once knew have been altered or absorbed into the growing city. There is now a disconnection between old and young residents, as well as between the city center and outer suburbs, highlighting the challenges of maintaining a cohesive identity for a large metropolitan area that is constantly evolving.Learning from GAP

The National Trust's acquisition policy prioritizes properties that are nationally important for their natural beauty, natural or historic interest, and that ownership by the Trust would provide public benefit. The Birmingham approach turns this policy on its head by beginning with community engagement to understand what is significant to local audiences and developing concepts that might lead to acquisitions. It redefines significance in terms of modern urban heritage, emphasizes people's relationships to place over the properties themselves, and aims to attract large urban audiences through partnerships.![T bs ntcities[1]](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/tbs-ntcities1-130305070030-phpapp02-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)

The Courtauld Institute of Art is a college of the University of London specializing in art history and conservation. It offers both undergraduate and graduate courses. The Courtauld Gallery houses one of the finest small art collections in the world, spanning the Renaissance to the 20th century, and is renowned for its Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. Museums can play a key role in promoting knowledge exchange, visual literacy, and understanding of art's impact on history. They reveal aspects of cultural identity and encourage learning beyond traditional boundaries. The aim should be to allow visitors personal experiences with art that encourage creative thinking.NTCities - NTBristol

Our strategy is to extend our reach in the cities of Manchester and Liverpool by connecting with more suburban families in a way that is relevant to their needs. During 2012-2015 we will primarily focus on projects in Greater Manchester, with the aim of expanding to Liverpool after 2015. We want suburban families to feel engaged with us, support our cause, and recommend us to others. We will measure success by the number of new memberships, additional visits and attendance, and volunteering opportunities engaged suburban families have by 2015. We have £680,000 in funding over 2012-2015 to support components of the strategy including communications, extending our reach to new audiences, and influencing others to take action in support of urban heritage and green spaces.Ic_new

The project team spent time planning, acting, observing and reflecting on economic development issues identified by the community rather than pushing their own agenda. The team presented recommendations to the Minister of Social Development and later the Cabinet.
A European Commission project aims to develop a knowledge-based citizen participation platform to support smart city decision making in Hamburg, Rome, and London.

- 1. Special Places……. The Birmingham Sub-Regional Strategy Planning and activities to progress and support the development of the Birmingham SRS have progressed significantly since the summer, with a clear direction having now been agreed, to strengthen the NT relationship with our local urban audiences up to 2015. Terrace Melting Pot (TMP) Stories A Project Officer is due to be appointed shortly to establish a firm basis, from which TMP Stories can grow in 2014-2015. Several pieces of research are due to be commissioned, alongside 3 small-scale community consultation events by March 2013, to learn more of the issues which are important to the Sparkbrook community. Issues that are cross-cultural and cross-generational will be specifically explored, for example, family life and work life, all of which will ultimately contribute to the long-term objective of developing a new business offer for TMP audiences in Birmingham by 2020. The use of Social Media, to make TMP Stories an interactive project for the Sparkbrook community is currently being explored, including a ‘Secret Author’ BLOG. NT Promotional Tour Activities to raise the profile of the NT within Wards in Birmingham, which include significant ‘Terrace Melting Pot’ communities, will kick-off with a launch in March 2013, followed by a tour until the end of May. A multi-functional vehicle is to be designed, which will enable local communities to discuss the special places that they love and express an interest in developing a relationship with the NT – a target of signing-up X20 volunteer, X 20 Community Ambassadors X200 Twitter followers have been set. Membership Drive Options to increase existing membership levels in the inner urban areas of Birmingham have been produced, with the potential targeting of key ‘Golden’ postcodes that offer valuable insight to Explorer Families, an audience, of whose needs are not so well understood. The potential to join on-going membership activities with properties near to the City Centre borders (e.g. Baddesley Clinton and Packwood) is also to be explored. Green Academies Project (GAP) Stage 2 The first of 3 visioning workshop was held with an internal audience on 31 October, to explore how GAP should evolve to work with other ‘Claimant Culture’ communities in Birmingham. A second workshop, with potential new partners will be held in Jan 2013. SRS Volunteer Strategy An initial meeting to discuss the recruitment and management of volunteers working off- site, to support SRS activities has been arranged for December. It is envisaged that volunteers will be particularly involved in supporting the NT Tour and TMP Stories.
