Embedding Placemaking in Local Authorities

In this introductory webinar we will look at what placemaking is, the Placemaking Wales Charter, why it matters to local authorities and how placemaking can be embedded within local authorities rather than sitting just in one department.

Speakers:

• Jen Heal, Design Commission for Wales – Introduction to placemaking.
• Karen Whitney-Lang, Flintshire County Council – Establishing a Place Team.
• Steve Smith, City and County of Swansea – Placemaking across departments.

In the discussion, we are keen to hear how other local authorities have addressed placemaking as well as any of your questions about the Charter, Placemaking Plans or integrating placemaking as a way of working.
