Events for A Sense of Place 2009

Events that form part of the 2009 series

Previously on A Sense of Place...

Radical challenges face us in the 21st Century ranging from the need to transition to a low-carbon lifestyle and address energy and food security, through to the need to adapt to profound demographic shifts and changing societies. Together they challenge all of our assumptions about how we live and work together and the type of infrastructure, buildings, environments and services we need.

How can we reinvent where and how we live to be relevant and purposeful? How can placemaking help build strong, resilient communities? What sort of skills does a community need to adapt to change? How do we transfer skills to young people to enable them to take on new challenges and make the most of new opportunities?

A Sense of Place brings together the different strands of conversation that revolve around the subject. Cutting across themes and disciplines the conference creates the place for new thinking and new approaches to emerge.
