The King’s Foundation’s innovative developments, amongst others, have redefined how mixed-use, mixed-income, varied tenure, walkable and locally distinctive communities can be created. This event will explore how these successes can be scaled and replicated more widely, addressing the challenges of delivering vibrant communities.

The event, which will also provide a good networking opportunity, will convene landowners, consultants, contractors, industry, house builders, housing associations, educational institutions and individuals from across the built environment to explore this challenge, as well as more general matters related to place building.

A variety of perspectives from across all built & natural environments, town planning and housing specialisms are needed to ensure the sector can create communities that serve the needs of all stakeholders over the long term, whether they be current residents, future generations or those involved in financing, planning and constructing new mixed-use developments.

We therefore hope you can join us to add your expert voice to the day’s discussions.
