Upcoming Events
Reconciling development needs with preservation of historic character is an issue for cities. Would more robust design principles ensure buildings are protected and local character preserved and thus remove the need for Conservation Areas?
We will explore this aspect of city development with Historic England and Calthorpe Estates will discuss their work preserving the character of Edgbaston in Birmingham amidst the need for growth and renewal.
The Design Network is leading on Vision Training for Place Making Strategies working with the Planning Advisory Service (PAS). We will share our learning on this and try to compare the visions of today with the pioneering work of Ebenezer Howard’s Garden City and Jane Jacobs. Is there anything new we can add to their ideas?
We will invite members from the task force to talk about their work, and we will invite Wychavon who are developing a new town in Worcestershire with 5500 homes intended to be built.
Cities as Living Systems. We should place ecology as the foundation of design, not as a layer or mitigation strategy if we are to help cool the planet. How do we design with ecology as the template, can we shift to an ecological mindset in designing cities?
Key voices in regenerative design will discuss their work and how we can shift our thinking on place making to meet the needs of modern cities in a time of climate emergency.
