Please join us for the launch of the TCPA’s new suite of Community Planning Guides as part of the TCPA’s Practical Hope: Inspiration for Community Action series.  

By exploring a range of case studies from around the country, we aim to highlight how local communities across the UK are putting sustainable planning principles into practise and making real change happen on the ground. This year, we have produced guides on three of the most pressing issues facing communities in relation to climate change.

This webinar will provide an overview of the guides, which showcase and champion the practical ways in which communities can work towards tackling the challenges posed by flooding, overheating, and community retrofit in their areas. We will hear from the TCPA about the project and from speakers working with communities to enable community action including Local Trust, National Flood Forum and Shade the UK. We hope these resources will showcase what is possible and provide useful ideas, advice and links to community groups across England.
