Place shaping is one of the most topical issues for local authorities right now, with exciting opportunities for both new and existing communities. But how can councils deliver more housing and foster relationships to get new projects off the ground in an era of constraint? This is just one of the many challenges the programme will consider to support councils in delivering effective developments and regeneration projects that bring fairness, opportunity and prosperity to local areas.
With this in mind, issues being discussed will include:
-
Using the planning system to encourge prosperous and healthy communities
-
Place leadership and skills
-
Providing infrastructure and amenities
-
How to deliver good design
-
Working with residents to rebuild estates
-
Forging lasting relationships with developers
The final programme will challenge you to improve partnerships with developers, support you in overcoming barriers through sharing experiences and inspire you to deliver vibrant new communities and transform existing ones.
