Knowledge Exchange Network: Town centres and regeneration – one year on

November 5, 2020

The Knowledge Exchange Network is exactly as the name suggests; an opportunity for experienced officers and practitioners to get together to share best practice, shout about the successes and strategise the challenges – only this time online!

Bringing together planning, regeneration and highways officers and practitioners working on major urban developments, this session will revisit some of the schemes showcased at last year’s Knowledge Exchange network, prompting discussions around the future shape of town centres – given the current pandemic and post-pandemic thinking – with like-minded professionals.

Speakers include:

Simon Hookway, Gravesham Borough Council
Duncan Berntsen, Medway Council
Keith Longley, Dartford Borough Council

Time: 09:15-10:30 (login from 09:05)
Date: Thursday 05 November 2020
