Shaping our built environment: The role of Councils in placemaking

8.45am – 1.30pm on Tuesday 30 January 2018

The Northern Ireland Local Government Association (NILGA) has organised a seminar examining placemaking in the context of the Councils’ emerging Local Development Plans. At this critical time as Councils grapple with their new responsibilities the seminar presents an ideal opportunity to hear the latest thinking on the design of places from a range of perspectives and to ensure that the voice of local architects is very much a part of the discussion.

RSUA has recently started to promote the idea of a city or county architect and it will be particularly interesting to hear about Giulia Vallone’s experience fulfilling that role in Cork.

To facilitate your attendance and to encourage a strong contribution from architects we have negotiated a 50% discount for RSUA members to attend this event.
