THE NATIONAL URBAN DESIGN CONFERENCE 2017
Manchester
7th – 9th September
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The aim of the 2017 National Urban Design Conference is, as always, to create a
partnership between all professionals and decision makers involved in the design of towns
and cities.
It is only by working together at all levels, sharing our knowledge and experience, that we
can strive to avoid the much vaunted mistakes of the recent past; sadly, we still see
fundamental urban design errors being carried forward in new development. But we can
also learn and appreciate what works well, through an understanding of our enduring
heritage, a sensitive response to context, and foresight into future challenges, to create
resilient, adaptable and lasting places of delight for the future.
Everyone who cares about the urban environment in which they live, and wants to do
better, is therefore welcome at conference.
THEME
The UK is facing massive challenges in these uncertain times: in providing new housing for
an expanding population, while improving the liveability of towns and cities for all; in
addressing the social injustice evident in inequalities of health, mortality and quality of life;
in balancing demands on land for new settlements, with food production and conservation
of the diversity of natural habitats; and addressing the social injustice evident in the stark
contrast between areas of affluence and growth and those left behind by post-industrial
changes in the economy.
The conference therefore looks at examples of projects that can enhance the health,
happiness and harmony of the UK population, and the lessons that can be drawn, and
generally applied, from here and abroad. It aims to show how successful urban design
depends on a holistic approach to the integration of development, land-use planning,
transport planning and urban engineering.
CONFERENCE SPONSORS We are grateful for the generous sponsorship of Green Blue Urban, Broadway Malyan, IBI,
Tibbalds, McCaul, and Boyer in helping us keep costs low and affordable, to enable the
widest attendance.
