The Elephant: regeneration tour
Join us to explore how urban regeneration is shaping south London through a guided walking tour followed by Q&A. Participants will gain insight into the area’s redevelopment and the wider impacts of planning and investment on local communities and the built environment. This session will also highlight the role of Get Living and Delancey in delivering The Elephant.
PPE is required for this part of the visit. If you have your own site boots, please bring them. If you need boots provided, please let us know your shoe size when you are contacted about the visit, along with your preferred PPE jacket size (S/M/L/XL). Please let me know as soon as possible emily.russell@rtpi.org.uk
What to expect:
