The Royal Institute
of British Architects (RIBA), Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH), Local
Government Association (LGA) and Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) have
launched Future Place: a joint two-phase initiative to recognise, reward and
encourage high quality placemaking in England.
Phase one will
highlight the vital role that Local Planning Authorities play in creating great
places to live and work by celebrating best practice examples and the potential
of placemaking in England.
The RIBA, CIH, LGA
and RTPI have launched an open call for Local Authorities who are working with
public, private or voluntary sector partners to deliver exemplary placemaking
visions – regardless of size or budget.
From the open call
submissions, the selected exemplars will be announced at the UK Government's
stand at MIPIM 2019, the world's leading property expo (12-15 March).
The Future Places
selection will be chosen by an expert panel based on how they propose to
improve and enhance people’s lives, community wellbeing and sustainable
environments.
In phase two of the
Future Place programme, Local Authorities will be asked to nominate two Future
Place- Makers from their team to participate in a leadership programme; a
digital resource will then be created to share best practice and processes.
By sharing
innovative approaches to funding, design and delivery, the Future Place
programme aims to demonstrate the potential and necessary conditions for
successful placemaking in England.
The open call for
expressions of interest is open until 22 January 2019. For more information on
how you can take part visit the website.
