'In Our Space' - Local Places - Global Challenges
Event Information
About this Event
In the third of FOLAR's 2021 Spring Talks series, entitled From the Contemporary Archive, Guy, a Director of re-form, landscape architecture, will in part make reference to his practice's work over the last 10 years as well as comment on current issues and challenges facing the centres of our towns and cities. He will focus on Hull (as part of City of Culture 2017); Lincoln, a historic city centre for which his practice prepared a public realm strategy and currently the regeneration of the Cornhill Quarter, a heritage led regeneration scheme for the city centre, Leeds ‘Our Spaces’ Strategy, which is the city’s public realm manual produced to inform the transformation of the city centre. Using these examples, he will focus on culture and heritage as a catalyst for regeneration, together with how issues of climate change, city living, and shopping trends are likely to impact on the nature and character of our urban centres going forward.
