New neighbourhoods in old places: designing and delivering innovative and sustainable housing development

A one-day forum for researchers, built environment professionals, students, community groups and individuals interested in heritage and sustainable housing.

In a time of interconnected crises, and with economic growth and housing firmly on the Government’s agenda, how can we transform places through heritage? Is it possible to address aspects of the housing crisis and respond to the climate emergency by developing sustainable places that provide for future communities as well as supporting and enhancing existing ones? How can we enable active community involvement in shaping places and community-led development? And last but not least, how do we focus on design, affordability and variety in both rural and urban communities?
