National Housing and Regeneration Conference Tour
2nd October 2025 | 12:00 AM
The Government has set out an ambitious house-building agenda, with a target of 1.5 million new homes in England alone. This is an opportunity to create high quality places which create long-term value for people and the environment. To debate how this quality can be achieved, the Landscape Institute (LI) is hosting regional conferences across the UK in 2025 and 26 (Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast). The first, in Birmingham, will take place on Thursday 2nd October 2025 (Millennium Point, Curzon St, Birmingham B4 7AP).
These conferences will debate and explore how collectively we can achieve the Government’s housing targets by 2029 while also creating places that are not just environmentally sustainable but socially and economically successful for the future.
A landscape-led approach is essential to create high quality, resilient places for living, which support happier and healthier communities and the environment. A landscape-led approach sees the landscape not just as an aesthetic feature but as a fundamental framework that shapes sustainable, liveable and climate resilient places – delivering commercial, nature and community value in the short and long term.
It is the starting point to planning and designing successful new developments, through thinking in systems rather than silos. Complex in nature, it embraces all scales and combines recognition of cultural heritage and promotes multifunctional solutions to deliver social, environmental and economic benefits.

Further discounts are available for LI members and Registered Practice employees
We will delve into issues that are vital to delivering quality places – ranging from policy to commercial issues, including the latest planning policy developments; solutions to challenges impacting the profession; health & wellbeing outcomes, BNG, SuDs and active travel. A closing panel at the end will discuss how we can drive this collaboration forward. Each conference will end with a networking drinks reception – a fantastic opportunity to connect with others working on this agenda.
The LI is looking forward to hosting an interesting and informative series of events that will address the ways in which the perceived tensions between development and environmental objectives can be better resolved.
Please note that the conferences will not be recorded or live streamed.
