What next for place?

Third-party event

Imagine a future where place-based policies and practices are driven by the stories and identities that make our communities unique.

What if we could harness the power of design and creativity to forge meaningful and equitable partnerships? How can this collaborative approach lead to positive outcomes for people, the places we inhabit, and the planet itself?

These are the critical questions at the heart of the “What next for place?” conference.

This event, over one and half days, is a catalyst for advancing the next practices in creating places. We have invited practitioners and academics for a collaborative exploration of these crucial themes and we will work together over the event to co-produce some suggested principles for future place-based practices.

Programme features:

  • Engaging talks and keynotes: gain insights from leading experts and researchers
  • Interactive walks and site visits: experience place-based programmes close up
  • Live workshop: develop new ways of thinking and working

Together, let’s shape ways of working to nurture place meaning, strengthen place partnerships through creativity, and design for lasting benefits.

This is a free day and a half conference:

  • 18 September (full day) 9:3017:00
  • 19 September (half day) 9:3014:00
