Kent Design Conference: Planning for a Sustainable Future

April 30, 2024

This 1–day conference will bring together built environment professionals  to explore Kent and Medway’s future. What will our towns and cities look like in 2050? How will Kent achieve net zero carbon and adapt to climate change? How can new development deliver social value and build communities? How will biodiversity recover and flourish? The conference will explore these questions and more with inspirational keynote speakers, workshops and opportunities to connect with the built environment community.
