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.

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.
