Can we design out poverty by creating great landscapes?

Talk
Mon 26 Jan 2015

Traditional thinking about tackling poverty rarely considers the impact of the designed landscape. However, good design and well-planned landscape can address inequality and raise aspirations, as evidenced by the projects featured in the Rethinking the Urban Landscape exhibition.

Confirmed speakers include:

- Pam Warhurst of Incredible Edible Todmorden

- Julia Thrift of TCPA 

- Rolf Roscher of Erz ltd

- Noel Farrer of Farrer Huxley Associates/Landscape Institute

- Bob Bagley of Sayes Court Garden

Chaired by: Lewis Blackwell of The Building Centre and Paul Lincoln of the Landscape Institute.

This event will be followed by a Q&A and drinks reception. 

This is the second in a series of events that illustrate and expand on the themes of Rethinking the Urban Landscape, an exhibition curated by The Building Centre and the Landscape Institute. Each event asks a question that addresses future learning and thinking for the design profession. Speakers include landscape architects, policymakers, community activists and industry leaders.

Cost: £8.50 per person
