Councillor CPD 1: Landscape and green infrastructure
Drawing on the characteristics of well-designed places, as outlined in the recently published National Design Guide, this two-part online Councillor CPD learning event will explore how we evaluate the design quality of major applications in relation to Landscape and green infrastructure.
We will examine the design quality of major applications in relation to the following areas:
- Context – development borrowing from and enhancing its surroundings
- Nature – enhanced and optimised through development
- Public spaces – safe, social and inclusive spaces for all
Delivered by:
Laura Lewis-Davies, Learning Manager, Design South East
Dr Gillian Horn, Architect and Researcher
The event will include:
