Edinburgh World Heritage in conversation with...politicians

How can we build a better Edinburgh?

Before the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, Edinburgh was experiencing an unprecedented degree of change in new development, transport, tourism, culture and the local economy. How will this now change?

In this conversation with four leading Edinburgh politicians we will ask the question: how can we make our capital city a better place in which to live and work post-Covid?

Joining us for this conversation will be Adam McVey, Leader of City of Edinburgh Council, Sarah Boyack MSP, the Labour Party spokesperson for Local Government, Alison Johnstone MSP, Co-Leader of the Scottish Greens in the Scottish Parliament, and Jeremy Balfour MSP, Scottish Conservative spokesperson for childcare and early years.

It’s completely free to join, but we welcome donations large and small to help us bridge the financial gap we face in these unprecedented times. Read our full statement on the impact of Covid-19 here.
