SUMMARY:TCPA New Communities Group Webinar on Planning for Culture 
DESCRIPTION:Planning for culture and the creative industries is an integral part of supporting and creating great places. The creative and cultural industries contribute more than £100bn per year to the UK economy\, helping to attract investment\, catalyse innovation\, and enhance distinctive places and communities. There are environmental benefits from regenerating places\, retrofitting and re-purposing existing buildings and improving the vibrancy of local places\, including high streets. Significant social value can also be gained from improving cultural infrastructure and facilities.  \n\n\n\nDeveloping cultural infrastructure requires a steady focused effort across long periods of time\, and integration of governance and processes from planning to infrastructure investment. Kent County Council and Creative Estuary have published a Cultural Planning Toolkit to help users navigate the deliverability of cultural infrastructure and embed it in planning and delivery processes from the outset. This session provides an opportunity to explore the toolkit and hear from practical examples of places making it happen\, both in existing and new places.   \n\n\n\nThis webinar will be essential for councillors\, developers\, consultants\, business leaders\, council officers\, community groups\, architects and designers\, students and anyone who is interested in the creation of well-connected places.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar is kindly supported by: \n\n\n\n                                        \n                    \n                \n                    	\n\n\nPlease see the agenda below: \n\n\n\n10:00Welcome and introduction from the Chair Catriona Riddell\, Strategic Planning Consultant\, TCPA Trustee 10:05Creative Estuary’s Cultural ToolkitSamantha Lahai-Taylor\, Principal Project Officer – Placemaking and Wellbeing\, Kent County Council Katy Lock\, Director of Communities\, TCPA  10:20Cultural developments in ChesterCharlie Seward\, Deputy Chief Executive (Place)\, Cheshire West and Chester Council 10:30Q&A 10:45Creating cultural infrastructure in new placesLaura Bailey\, Cultural Development Manager\, Ebbsfleet Development Corporation\, Ebbsfleet Garden CityAlastair Upton\, Chief Executive\, Creative Folkestone11:05Q&A 11:30Close

SUMMARY:New Towns for Today and Tomorrow - a conference of the APPG on New Towns
DESCRIPTION:The 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\nThey represent some of the fastest growing and most successful\, but also some of the most deprived communities in the UK. Do key issues of housing\, green infrastructure\, stewardship\, public art and land ownership mean their growth and renewal could put New Towns back at the heart of exemplar development?  \n\n\n\nMeanwhile\, cross-party interest in the role of New Towns in tackling the housing crisis continues to be high on the political agenda. What transferable lessons can we learn from the New Towns programme to inform the creation of a new generation of ambitious places? \n\n\n\nThis ‘in-person’ conference will bring together people from across the UK to explore the opportunities for the growth and renewal of our existing new towns. It will also explore transferable lessons for the creation of new communities today. \n\n\n\nThe event is from to attend and is taking place at the Torrance Hotel\, East Kilbride\, Glasgow\, G74 4LN. Lunch is provided\, booking is essential as space is limited.   \n\n\n\nOrganised by the TCPA on behalf of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for New Towns and in partnership with South Lanarkshire Council. \n\n\n\nTCPA Secretariat of the APPG on New Towns is supported by: \n\n\n\n                                        \n                    \n                \n                                        	\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda (may be subject to change)\n\n\n\n9:00am: Coffee and registration \n\n\n\n9:30am: Welcome and Introductions  \n\n\n\n\nWelcome and Introductions from the Conference Chair – Dr Lisa Cameron MP\, Chair of the APPG on New Towns \n\n\n\nWelcome from South Lanarkshire Council – Council Leader Joe Fagan \n\n\n\n\n9:45am: The New Towns – Rise\, Fall and Rebirth \n\n\n\n\nKaty Lock\, Director of Communities\, Town & Country Planning Association \n\n\n\n\n10:00am: Session One: New Towns – Growth and Renewal \n\n\n\n\nThe View from Warrington – John Laverick\, CEO of Warrington & Co.
