URBAN SCALE with Suzi Winstanley & Matthew Brown

URBAN Scale: A discussion about radical regeneration and the role of SME practice

This event explores the “Preston Model” of community wealth building—a radical approach to regeneration that invests in local infrastructure and keeps value within the community, rather than extracting wealth to capital investors. Matthew Brown, leader of Preston City Council and a fellow of the Democracy Collaborative, will share insights from Preston’s pioneering work, rooted in the Cleveland Model.

He is joined by Suzi Winstanley, director of Turner Works, who will discuss how SME architectural practices can adapt their ways of working to better support the challenges and opportunities facing northern cities and local authorities.
