Reconfiguring Place: What’s Vital Now? is the final event in the 2019/20 Glass-House WE design event series. We’ve been exploring the important issues facing the world of place design across the UK. Now, we want to hear from people who are making change happen by asking the question, ‘What’s vital now?’
Join us for an interactive evening of provocative discussion and debate about how we might shape places differently in the future, and hear from speakers who are working to change the collaborative design landscape.
Speakers
- Tom Armour, Arup
- Umi Baden-Powell, Public Practice Associate, LB Newham
- Matt Bell, Grosvenor
- Rachel Fisher, Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government & Co-founder of Urbanistas

At What’s Vital Now? we’ll also be sharing participant voices and ideas on intergenerational cities, high streets and housing from events in our national WE design series.
This event is being delivered in partnership with The Bartlett School of Planning and will also share project work done by UCL students involved in a collaborative project with The Glass-House.
The event is free, but places are limited. Register now to reserve your place.
Arrival from 6pm for a prompt 6.30pm start. We will serve light refreshments.

About the Reconfiguring Place series
Using the themes of intergenerational cities, housing, high streets and town centres, we’ve been exploring ways to enable citizens as agents of change. Our events are spaces for testing collaborative models for placemaking which combine social, cultural and economic activity, as part of a transformation process to support long-term sustainability.
The series is exploring how our collective assets can be mobilised to support local networks and initiatives, as well as building agency and unleashing the potential of people and places.
