SUMMARY:Restricting the Appeal and Availability of Junk Food: the role of local councils
DESCRIPTION:Obesity and overweight are major national challenges that cost the NHS and economy millions of pounds every year. \n\n\n\nEvidence shows the environments people live in shape the food choices they make: in places where junk food is the cheapest\, most readily available and widely advertised\, it is harder for people to make healthy choices. Around the country many councils are working to improve local ‘food environments’ by restricting the proliferation of hot food takeaways and\, as far as possible\, restricting advertising for poor quality food. A lot is being achieved – but councils could do far more if policy and regulations were amended. \n\n\n\nJoin us at the launch of a new report by APSE (the Association for Public Service Excellence) and the TCPA. It sets out how councils are working to improve food environments\, and recommendations for policy changes that would empower them to do even more. \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nMo Baines\, Chief Executive\, Association for Public Service Excellence;\n\n\n\nJulia Thrift\, Director of Healthier Place-making\, Town and Country Planning Association;\n\n\n\nBeverley Bayliss\, Healthy Places Specialist\, East Sussex County Council;\n\n\n\nTim Borrett\, Director – Policy\, Strategy\, Digital\, Bristol City Council.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister to attend

SUMMARY:Empowering young people for a greener future - youth engagement transforming Grosvenor Square
DESCRIPTION:Teenagers and young people have lots of knowledge about their neighbourhoods and spaces\, but too often no-one asks them what they think. \n\n\n\nDesigned to involve young people in the making and managing of their neighbourhoods\, the Voice Opportunity Power youth engagement toolkit is a free resource written by ZCD Architects and supported by Grosvenor\, the TCPA and Sport England. \n\n\n\nCoinciding with the Great Big Green Week\, this webinar explore the transformation of one of London’s oldest public squares\, using Voice Opportunity Power to engage  young people in creating an extraordinary green space with exemplary environmental credentials. \n\n\n\nThe webinar will include the perspectives of developer Grosvenor\, child and youth engagement specialists MATT+FIONA and a young adult who took part in the work themselves. \n\n\n\nThis event will be of interest to developers\, designers\, planners and sustainability professionals concerned with how to amplify youth voices in projects and how to create opportunities for meaningful participation. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n10:00WelcomeJulia ThriftDirector Healthier place-making\, TCPA10:05Case study: Grosvenor Square\, LondonNicola RochfortHead of Community Engagement & InsightsMatthewSpringett and Fiona MacDonaldMATT+FIONAMarwaMayfair Youth Forum alumni11:00Q&AFacilitated by Julia Thrift\, TCPA11:15Close

SUMMARY:Launch of our vision: 21st Century New Towns
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we launch the TCPA’s brand-new vision: 21st Century New Towns. This short pamphlet sets out our aspirational vision for any future generation of new towns\, which have the potential to become thriving and high-quality places to live\, work\, and play!   \n\n\n\nRegister here for the launch webinar \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nView the vision online here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\nPam Warhurst CBEFounder of Incredible Edible and recipient of the Ebenezer Howard Memorial MedalDr Hugh EllisDirector of Policy\, TCPARowan GilbertProjects and Policy Manager (FJ Osborn Fellow)\, TCPACharlotte LlewellynOsborn Research Assistant\, TCPA\n\n\n\nAbout the vision \n\n\n\nThis vision is centred around participatory democracy; to be successful\, new towns must be developed with\, and for\, local people. The vision is designed to help communities consider and express what they want from new towns\, and to aid them in fighting for the quality developments they deserve.   \n\n\n\nDrawing on decades of the TCPA’s work\, this document shows how the next generation of New Towns are much more than a means to achieving housing targets; they are about enabling people to live happy\, healthy and sustainable lives. These places have the potential to become vibrant and inclusive communities where people not only live\, but thrive.  \n\n\n\nAt the centre of our vision is the belief that local people know their area best. That’s why it is designed to be a powerful tool for local communities\, planners\, and policymakers. Helping the general public to shape future new towns in their areas and ensuring they meet the communities’ needs and aspirations.   \n\n\n\nWe hope this document will be a call to action to reimagine what’s possible for the next generation of new towns and enable local communities to demand high-quality\, healthy and sustainable places.   \n\n\n\nRegister here \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFurther Links \n\n\n\nFor the TCPA’s guidance on New Towns and Garden Cities \n\n\n\nFor the New Towns Task Force’s work to date
