OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Though never far from the spotlight, planning reform is a key aspect of the new government’s growth agenda. Good strategic planning and urban design, and a clear understanding of heritage and the built environment, can help to achieve interconnected economic, social and environmental targets. Likewise, the historic environment can be a source of inspiration for sustainable development.
This talk will explore how heritage fits into the Government’s growth agenda; economic viability; heritage, high streets and housing; and planning for heritage – a more strategic view.
