DESCRIPTION:In this roundtable discussion we will hear from the panel about their experiences with involving and engaging local people in decision-making. \n\nWhat does best practice look like?\nHow can we use the tools we already have to mobilise those with ideas?\nWhat new tools do we need to be more imaginative and collaborative?\nHow can we involve young people and members of the communities whose voices are often overlooked?\nHow do we promote best practice to empower the decision-makers?\n\nThe landscape of our towns and cities has been shaped by a small group of people –   landowners\, local authorities\, planners\, architects and developers. The communities who inhabit them have had very little influence over the process and consultation has often been too little and too late. \nBut things are changing. Social media has empowered people like never before and the public response to climate change\, Black Lives Matter and the Grenfell Tower fire have shown that people are no longer afraid to speak up and demand change. \nOur towns and cities are grappling with problems like dying high streets\, housing shortages\, investment in infrastructure\, and the creation of parks and open space. The Government is promising to ‘build back better’. So how can we harness the energy and desire to be involved and tap into that renewed sense of community\, so that people can make an active and positive contribution to shaping their environment? \nFREE to attend. \nRegister HERE to secure your place: URL:https://www.buildstudios.co.uk/event/who-owns-the-city/ ORGANIZER;CN="Build Studios":MAILTO:hello@buildstudios.co.uk END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
