Join us for the first in our 2025 learning series. In this event, we are focussing on building more liveable, inclusive and resilient neighbourhoods.

This session brings together place-making leaders and regeneration practitioners to explore how communities across Scotland—and beyond—are putting policy into practice. With a mix of case studies, panel discussion, and audience dialogue, we’ll unpack what it truly means to create a liveable neighbourhood in the context of housing, economy, health, and sustainability.

Core themes we’ll explore:

• Town centre living & its economic impact
• 20-minute neighbourhoods
• Housing to 2040 & the housing emergency
• Sustainable policy in action
• Community wealth building
• The “hidden” benefits of good towns—health, education, cohesion

Following the presentations, we’ll host an open discussion to surface shared challenges, local insights, and practical next steps for delivering liveable places.

This event is ideal for local authorities, developers, community leaders, housing and regeneration professionals, and anyone committed to the future of our towns.
