Placemaking in UK high streets

Tuesday 13 June, 12 to 1pm | Webinar
Three years after the first wave of Covid-19 hit the UK, retailers and the hospitality sector are still feeling the impacts of a global crisis that fundamentally changed the way we live, work and play. But despite (and as a consequence of) growing pressures from the cost of living crisis, this new way of living offers plenty of opportunities for planners and businesses alike to rethink the role of the High Street in building community resilience. This webinar will look at placemaking and strengthening communities through rejuvenation of town and village centres across the UK.
