SUMMARY:Homes and neighbourhoods for children and young people
DESCRIPTION:20-Minute Neighbourhoods – Webinar 9\n\n\n\nWhere children and young people grow up shapes their ability to live healthy lives. Children and young people are vulnerable to their environments as they are rapidly developing physically\, emotionally and socially and so homes\, neighbourhoods and communities should be designed with their needs in mind and their voices heard. \n\n\n\nIdeas like the 20-minute neighbourhood\, and engagement tools like Voice Opportunity Power can help us to design and deliver places where children and young people can flourish whilst also benefitting other age groups and demographics. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will explore: \n\n\n\n\nwhy planning and the built environment matters for healthy and thriving children and young people;\n\n\n\nhow to engage with children and teenagers about 20-minute neighbourhoods and place; and\n\n\n\nthe use of youth engagement in a new settlement.\n\n\n\n\nIt will be of interest to anyone working to create and shape places that support children and young people to be heard and thrive. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n13:00Welcome and introductionGemma Hyde\, Projects and Policy Manager- Healthier Place-making\, TCPA13:10Why the built environment matters for children and young peopleProf Peter Kraftl\, Chair in Human Geography\, University of Birmingham13:30Co-creating plans for 20-minute neighbourhoods with children and teenagersAnna Gaffney and Jenny Wood\, A Place in Childhood13:50Youth engagement in a new Garden CommunityMichele King\, Community and Social Impact Manager\, Latimer by Clarion Housing Group14:10Q&AChaired by Gemma Hyde\, TCPA14:30Close\n\n\n\nSupported by: \n\n\n\n                                        \n                    \n                \n                    	\n\n\nImage: © 2023.

SUMMARY:Healthy ageing in place
DESCRIPTION:20-Minute Neighbourhoods – Webinar 8\n\n\n\nThe UK population is ageing. By 2040\, nearly one in seven people is projected to be aged over 75 and in some areas of England\, this age-group will make up over 25% of the local population. Concerningly\, unless we act\, many of these people will live years of their later lives in poor health. This has huge implications not only for health and social care but also for how we plan\, create and manage homes\, streets\, neighbourhoods and places. Building and re-generating places to be healthy\, supportive and adaptive to climate change\, through ideas like the 20-minute neighbourhood\, will help older people to flourish in their existing homes and communities and also benefit other age groups and demographics. \n\n\n\nAn ageing population presents opportunities and challenges to create better places\, but ignoring these changes will undermine any benefits of living longer\, with high costs to individuals’ health and well-being and to society. \n\n\n\nFollowing his Chief Medical Officer Annual Report in 2023 ‘Health in an ageing society’\, we are pleased to announce that Prof Chris Whitty\, will give an opening keynote talk before the webinar explores: \n\n\n\n\nhow 20-minute neighbourhoods can be successful places\, where people can choose to live their whole lives because the needs of all age groups and life stages are accommodated;\n\n\n\nwhat age-friendly developments look like – a case study from Greater Manchester;\n\n\n\nwhy age-friendly places must consider the impacts of climate change on older people; and\n\n\n\nthe social and economic value of age-friendly communities.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull agenda (TBC)\n\n\n\n09:30Welcome and introductionJulia Thrift\, Director Healthier Place-making\, TCPA09:35Keynote talk: Health in an ageing societyProf Chris Whitty\, Chief Medical Officer09:55How a 20-minute neighbourhood approach can support healthy ageingGemma Hyde\, Projects and Policy Manager – Healthier Place-making\, TCPA10:10Creating age-friendly developments in Greater ManchesterKelly-Marie Rodgers\, Strategic Lead – Healthy Active Places\, Greater Manchester Moving; Dr Mark Hammond Senior Lecturer\, Manchester School of Architecture10:30Break (5 mins)10:35Healthy ageing in a changing climateRyan Woolrych\, Professor Ageing and Urban Studies\, Heriot-Watt University10:55The social and economic value of age-friendly communitiesDr Louise Lafortune\, Associate Professor\, Cambridge Public Health Interdisciplinary Research Centre\, University of Cambridge11:15Q&AChaired by Julia Thrift\, TCPA11:30Close\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSupported by:

SUMMARY:Neighbourhood planning and 20-minute neighbourhoods webinar
DESCRIPTION:Healthy neighbourhood plans\n\n\n\nIt is widely assumed that it is the NHS that creates good health\, and that a healthy place is one with lots of GP surgeries and hospitals. However\, evidence demonstrates that although the NHS is good at ‘mending’ people when they become ill\, the things that keep people healthy are the places and communities in which they live. In other words\, health is made at home and hospitals are for repairs. \n\n\n\nNeighbourhood plans can influence how places develop and seek to ensure that a community has good homes\, clean air\, jobs\, access to parks and green spaces\, access to healthy food and opportunities for connection with friends and neighbours. A focus on health in a neighbourhood plan is an opportunity to create places in which everyone can thrive. To do this well\, neighbourhood plans need to consider local health evidence and can choose to use a concept like 20-minute neighbourhoods to frame ideas and think about health in a holistic way. \n\n\n\nIn collaboration with Locality\, this webinar will explore neighbourhood planning and then introduce the TCPA/University of Manchester Neighbourhood planning and 20-minute neighbourhoods toolkit. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will cover: \n\n\n\n\nneighbourhood planning and the role of Locality;\n\n\n\nhow to consider health and wellbeing in neighbourhood plans; and\n\n\n\nintroduce the Neighbourhood planning and 20-minute neighbourhoods toolkit.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull agenda\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n12:00Welcome and introductionGemma Hyde\, Project Manager – Healthier Place-making\, TCPA12:05Neighbourhood planning and Locality – an introductionMadeleine Gohin\, Neighbourhood Planning Officer\, Locality12:2520-minute neighbourhoods and healthy neighbourhood plansGemma Hyde\, Project Manager – Healthier Place-making\, TCPA12:45Q&A13:00Close\n\n\n\nSupported by:

SUMMARY:Rural expressions of 20-minute neighbourhoods
DESCRIPTION:20-Minute Neighbourhoods – Webinar 6\n\n\n\nIn rural areas the implementation of 20-minute neighbourhoods\, or complete\, compact and connected communities poses a different set of challenges from those typical in urban areas. Rural communities can suffer from poorer digital connectivity\, inferior public transport provision and road\, cycling and walking infrastructure\, and limited access to a variety of employment opportunities. Housing quality and affordability\, and isolation from and access to various services can also be issues which impact on rural communities’ health and wellbeing. \n\n\n\nBut there are also opportunities for innovative\, collaborative delivery of services and infrastructure to support vibrant rural communities in ways that support social cohesion and reduce health inequalities. \n\n\n\nWe are pleased to announce that Prof Carlos Moreno\, creator of the 15-minute city concept\, will give an opening keynote talk exploring how the principles behind 15-minute cities and 20-minute neighbourhoods can be applied in the countryside. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will also explore: \n\n\n\n\ncreating connections and networks between villages to increase safe\, enjoyable routes to services and facilities;\n\n\n\nquiet lanes and better sharing of road space between vehicles\, pedestrians\, cyclists and horse riders; and\n\n\n\ninnovative ways to build health and wealth in rural places.\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull agenda\n\n\n\n10:00Welcome and introductionJulia Thrift\, Director Healthier Place-making\, TCPA10:05Keynote talk: Can ‘happy proximities’ be created in the countryside? Prof Carlos Moreno\, Scientific Director of the Chair “Entrepreneurship Territory Innovation”\, Sorbonne University-IAE Paris10:30Connecting villages around and through the Blenheim Estate – working in partnership for sustainable rural communitiesSarah Featherstone and Judith Sykes\, VeloCity10:50Quiet lanes and lower speed environments – ideas and examples for supporting and promoting rural active travelWill Haynes\, Sustrans11:10Q&A11:25Community businesses and co-location in rural areas – the value of localAlison Macklin\, Plunkett Foundation11:45Linking local people with local carers – a micro-provider scheme in rural SomersetDavid Patterson\, Wivey Cares12:05Q&A12:20Closing remarksJulia Thrift\, TCPA12:30Close\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSupported by:

SUMMARY:Local Authorities Leading the Way – Net Zero Planning Policy
DESCRIPTION:Join Good Homes Alliance (GHA) and Town and Country Planning Association (TCPA) for a joint online event showcasing the progressive work of Local Authorities in developing\, and successfully adopting\, net zero planning policies. \n\n\n\nWe will hear more about recent good news coming out of Bath & North East Somerset (B&NES) and Cornwall Council\, whose local plan updates have both been found sound and legally compliant by the Planning Inspectorate. Both policies set absolute energy targets for housing (energy use intensity) and seek to maximise renewable energy generation on-site. The policies use a different framework from the Building Regulations and cover both regulated and unregulated energy. \n\n\n\nThese announcements reaffirm the fact that forward-thinking councils can set their own ambitious targets that go above and beyond minimum national standards. The work at B&NES\, Cornwall\, Cambridgeshire and others will help set a precedent for other Local Authorities to follow in their footsteps and meet their climate emergency commitments. \n\n\n\nWe are also delighted to be joined by experts from the consultancies who have been supporting progressive councils in developing evidence bases to support their new policies\, and providing guidance on how to implement the policies in practice. \n\n\n\nGood Homes Alliance \n\n\n\nThis event builds upon previous GHA webinars with Bioregional\, targeted at our Local Authority Vanguard Network members\, on ‘Why we need zero carbon planning policies‘ and ‘Spatial implications of developing zero carbon local plans‘. The event also ties in with our ongoing Planning & Placemaking working group\, chaired by GHA Chair Lynne Sullivan OBE\, which has been running during 2022-23 as part of our Build Net Zero Now campaign phase two. The working group is open to GHA members and invited experts\, and outputs for the group later in the year include a ‘mini-guide’\, case studies and a database of progressive planning policies. \n\n\n\nTown and Country Planning Association \n\n\n\nIn February\, TCPA and RTPI held a webinar to launch a fourth edition of their joint guidance for local authorities on planning for climate change. This introductory level resource provides an overview of UK policy and legislation which can be used to address climate change (both mitigation and adaptation) through plan making and development management processes. The guide is accompanied by an online case study hub which features practical examples from across the UK and will be regularly updated to reflect current best practice. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\nGood Homes Alliance – Event chaired by GHA Chair Lynne Sullivan OBE\n\n\n\nTown and Country Planning Association (TCPA) – Celia Davis\, Projects and Policy Manager\n\n\n\nBioregional – Marina Goodyear\, Project Manager/Lewis Knight\, Head of Sustainable Places (tbc)\n\n\n\nEtude – Thomas Lefevre\, Director\n\n\n\nGreater Cambridge Shared Planning Service – Emma Davies\, Principal Sustainability Officer\n\n\n\nBath and North East Somerset Council (B&NES) – Alex McCann\, Climate Policy Officer\n\n\n\nCornwall Council – Emily Rubin\, Principal Development Officer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\n\n\n\n\nFree-to-attend for GHA members and TCPA local authority members\n\n\n\n£20 for members of GHA partner organisations\n\nPartner organisations include: AECB\, Building Performance Network\, Passivhaus Trust\, SuperHomes\, STBA\, TCPA\, The Green Register\, The Alliance for Sustainable Building Products\, UKIEG\, Woodknowledge Wales.\n\n\n\n\n\n£30 for non-members\n\n\n\n\n\nSign up here

SUMMARY:Life within easy reach: the London Borough of Waltham Forest’s 15-minute neighbourhood framework
DESCRIPTION:20-Minute Neighbourhoods – Webinar 5\n\n\n\nLike many councils\, Waltham Forest wants to create a healthier\, more sustainable and cohesive borough\, and by introducing 15-minute neighbourhoods they are forging ahead. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will explore: \n\n\n\n\nwhy Waltham Forest is embedding the 15-minute neighbourhood concept in corporate policy and creating a council-wide strategy based on its principles;\n\n\n\nhow the Young Foundation has helped the council understand what people in Waltham Forest want and need from their neighbourhoods\, and make this central to their approach;\n\n\n\nwhat they plan to do next and what others can learn from the experience so far.\n\n\n\n\nMany communities are trying to create complete\, compact and connected places. These are sometimes known as 10 -minute towns\, or 15/20-minute neighbourhoods. The exact description\, or the number of minutes\, doesn’t matter\, the idea is\, in essence\, the same. It’s about creating places where people can meet most of their everyday needs within a short walk\, wheel or cycle of their home: neighbourhoods where life is within easy reach. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme (tbc)\n\n\n\nThe webinar will feature a range of speakers from the project teams at the London Borough of Waltham Forest and The Young Foundation led by: \n\n\n\n\nJonathan Lloyd\, Corporate Director of Strategy and Change\, London Borough of Waltham Forest\n\n\n\n\n\nSian Whyte\, Head of Strategic Design and Insight\, The Young Foundation\n\n\n\n\n1:30pmWelcome and introductionsGemma Hyde\,Project Officer\, TCPA1:40pmWaltham Forest’s 15-minute neighbourhood ambitionCllr Grace Williams\, Leader of Waltham Forest Council1:50pmOur approach – moving from a concept to practiceWaltham Forest Council2:00pmResearch\, community engagement and co-creating a vision and frameworkThe Young Foundation2:30pmBreak2:35pmThe 15-minute neighbourhood corporate framework\, ongoing data collection and focus areas for deliveryWaltham Forest Council2:55pmKey learning and reflections for other local authoritiesThe Young Foundation3:05pmQ&A session3:30pmClose\n\n\n\nSupported by:
