Reframing Resilience: Places

Session 3 looks at how we build for the future, designing places that not only withstand climate change impacts but evolve with communities

Reframing Resilience

Over the last decade, the construction industry has made significant strides in low-carbon innovations, which are translating into meaningful progress towards achieving Net Zero. While there’s still much to do to meet these targets, in 2026 we need to set our sights beyond carbon neutrality and shift our practice towards resilience, creating buildings and places that adapt, evolve and contribute positively to their surroundings.

In this series of events hosted by Heyne Tillett Steel in Manchester, we investigate the opportunities and challenges involved in moving beyond sustainable design and envisage what a resilient future could look like for UK cities. Across three sessions, we’ll explore these themes at different scales, presenting the latest research and explorations, accompanied by practical examples and insightful discussion from industry experts.

Session 3: Places

The third session of this series looks at how we build for the future, designing places that can not only withstand climate change impacts but are able to adapt and evolve with the communities they support, and generate positive outcomes in terms of wellbeing, biodiversity and social value.
