A Glass-House Debate
Date: Tuesday, 9 February 2010
Time: TBC
Venue: TBC, Newcastle
Fee: FREE
Legislation introduced in April 2009 calls for all local authorities to involve local people in decisions that affect them.
Six months on, has this mandate made a difference to how local authorities engage with communities around physical regeneration? Is it leading to more participative design processes?
The event is part of a series of debates held in several locations across the UK, which bring together those who have been affected by the new legislation, as designers, community members and local authorities. With panellists and audience members from both professional and community backgrounds, you’ll be able to explore the topic from a range of perspectives. This is your chance to get involved and join the discussion!
This debate is organised in partnership with Northern Architecture
