Venue:
Watershed Media Centre, Bristol Harbourside
Description:
This one-day conference will explore the way we have historically used land in the UK and, if we are to live sustainably in the 21st century and beyond, how we need to radically change the way we manage our land as a valuable resource. Issues such as potential development of the greenbelt, UK food production and affordable housing will be some of the many challenging areas of discussion.
Speakers include Simon Fairlie of The Land is Ours, Sunand Prasad, RIBA President and George Ferguson of Acanthus Ferguson Mann.
Case studies of successful, sustainable and imaginative regeneration projects such as the former Elizabeth Shaw Chocolate Factory in Bristol and Harvey’s Foundry in Hayle will be presented.
The full carbon impact of the event will be compensated by contributing to The Converging World (www.theconvergingworld.org|).
