UKREiiF Breakfast | How to build a new town
Hailed as “the best session at MIPIM”, Place is bringing its “How to Build a New Town” workshop from Cannes to Leeds.
Join regeneration, housing, leisure, and commercial experts as we craft a community from scratch. We’ll explore what works and what doesn’t when it comes to town and city centres – while also delving into the role property plays in bringing people together.
Expect to talk about the high street, stadia, transport, health, housing, and more. With the UK government gearing up to deliver its latest New Towns Programme, this is a session you won’t want to miss
This event is invitation-only.
