The explosion of the importance of design within the contemporary planning system has brought with it many new ideas and challenges for the public and private sector alike. From active travel and low traffic neighbourhoods to design for net zero, all within the package of delivering beautiful homes and buildings. And if this wasn’t enough, all of this now needs to sit within a code or guide developed with the community and local developers. Attendance on this course is a must for those who wish to dispel some myths, hear the latest ideas and approaches, and brush up on your design skills. Not to be missed for all town planners and regeneration specialists who engage with urban design and placemaking.
