SUMMARY:TCPA Briefing: Building the future - Lessons from the New Towns
DESCRIPTION:Addressing the housing crisis remains high on the political agenda this general election year. From New Towns and Development Corporations\, to Garden Cities and Garden Communities\, cross-party interest in the role of new settlements in tackling the housing crisis continues to gain momentum.  \n\n\n\nThe New Towns programme remains the most ambitious urbanism initiative ever undertaken in the United Kingdom. The programme sought to provide jobs and affordable homes in healthy\, balanced\, and thriving communities. The 32 New Towns delivered through the New Towns Act today provide homes for over 2.8 million people. \n\n\n\nThere are many lessons to be learnt from the successes and failures of the New Towns programme. This incudes the key issues of housing\, green infrastructure\, stewardship\, culture\, finance\, land ownership and delivery. Learning the transferable lessons of the New Towns programme is essential to inform the creation of a new generation of ambitious new places today. \n\n\n\nThis timely online briefing and debate will draw on the TCPA’s extensive work on the subject\, including our recent publication “Our shared future: A TCPA White Paper for Homes and Communities” and RIBA Publication ‘New Towns: Rise\, Fall\, Rebirth’ . Join us for what promises to be a lively and informative debate.  \n\n\n\nDue to the support of our sponsors this online event is free to attend. \n\n\n\nThis event is kindly sponsored by Pinsent Masons and the Lady Margaret Paterson Osborn Trust \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n13:30Welcome and introduction from the Chair  Fiona Howie\, Chief Executive\, TCPA13:35Addressing the Housing Crisis – Lessons from the New Towns Katy Lock\, Director of Communities (FJ Osborn Fellow)\, TCPA\, and Hugh Ellis\, Director of Policy\, TCPA 13:55Response: Pinsent Masons  Jamie Lockerbie\, Partner\, Pinsent Masons (TBC)14:05Q&A14:25Next Steps14:30Close

SUMMARY:TCPA online briefing: Towards a shared vision for planning reform?
DESCRIPTION:With a General Election on the horizon\, the issue of how to reform the planning system remains high on the political agenda\, with a wave of new initiatives seeking to provide the answers. It is the TCPA’s view that there is no mystery to discover about what’s wrong with the current system nor how to fix it. The main questions which surround planning reform have all been asked and answered in the various reviews of the system over the last decade. \n\n\n\nRecent reform has been driven by the tension between the ideological and the practical resulting in a planning system which is now highly complex but also ineffective. Underfunded\, demoralised\, and lacking public trust\, the system is not capable of securing the transformational change we need. That matters enormously because the planning system is central to any government who has ambitions for an efficient and democratic system producing healthy and climate resilient communities. \n\n\n\nWe must learn the lessons from past reform and confront the barriers preventing positive change. Chaired by the TCPA President\, and leader of the Raynsford Review of Planning\, this timely online briefing and debate will draw on the TCPA’s extensive work on the subject. Join us for a lively and informative debate. This event is free to TCPA members and £10 for non-members. \n\n\n\nPlease click here to book your ticket on the Eventbrite website  \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see a draft agenda below: \n\n\n\n15:00Welcome and introduction from the chairNick Raynsford\, President\, TCPA and former Minister of State for Housing and Planning15:05Briefing on planning reformHugh Ellis\, Director of Policy\, TCPA15:20Response from the sectorCatriona Riddell\, Vice-Chair\, TCPA and strategic planning specialist15:35Q&A with delegates16:10Concluding remarks Nick Raynsford\, President\, TCPA16:15Event end

SUMMARY:Sir Frederic J Osborn memorial event 2022: The poetry of place
DESCRIPTION:New rescheduled date (due to rail strikes) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for an evening of poetry\, drinks and discussion for our annual event in memory of Sir Frederic J Osborn. Osborn was an important figure in the TCPA’s history. A passionate campaigner for healthy places and social justice\, Osborn was instrumental in securing the New Towns legislation\, which enabled 32 new towns to be established across the UK as part of creating and rebuilding homes and communities following the Second World War. Alongside his campaigning work – Osborn wrote prolifically including satire and poetry\, and a book of his verses – ‘Can Man Plan?’ – was published in 1959. \n\n\n\nWith performances from poets Zena Edwards and Emily Hasler with Jonathan Glancey\, architectural critic\, writer and Patron of The Betjeman Society\, this event will explore how poetry and the arts can help us understand people and place. The event will touch on some of Osborn’s work and correspondence with Sir John Betjeman\, one the pre-eminent poets of the 20th century who enthused people about the value of Britain’s cities\, landscapes and architecture\, alongside contemporary perspectives on creating a sense of place. This subject complements TCPA’s wider work\, particularly on reuniting art and planning\, and on exploring how the foundations of the Garden City movement can give practical hope to 21st century communities. \n\n\n\nThe TCPA are grateful to the Lady Margaret Paterson Osborn Trust for supporting this event\, which is being held in partnership with The Betjeman Society. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda:\n\n\n\n17:00–18:00 – Arrivals \n\n\n\n18:10 – Welcome from Andrew Pritchard\, Chair of the TCPA  \n\n\n\n18:20 – The Poetry of Place\, with Zena Edwards\, Emily Hasler\, and Jonathan Glancey \n\n\n\n19:20 – Drinks and canapés \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease select the number of tickets required before clicking ‘Get Tickets’ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCover photo: An early performance at The Dell natural amphitheatre\, part of the vibrant cultural life of the Osborns’ home at Welwyn Garden City (Courtesy of the Welwyn Garden Heritage Trust)
