It’s a collaboration
Together we can create places which thrive long into the future.
We want to bring people together who identify with this vision:
Future places should be shaped with and by their communities, with support in place to help them succeed.
Future places should be shaped by joined-up thinking on the social, economic and technological issues they face.
Future places should be shaped by joined-up doing from people across different disciplines, sectors and areas of expertise.
Future places should be shaped by a shared long-term vision.
Our Pledge
We pledge to Shape Future Places by:
- Bringing people together
- Facilitating conversation
- Inspiring joined-up thinking
- Enabling joined-up doing
- Forming new ways of working across our teams, sectors and disciplines
