Urban DesignFest
Simon Delahunty-Forrest talks jam butties
Urban DesignFest, our traditional warm up to Conference is always an informal evening designed to inspire, create sparks, entertain - and it certainly delivered the goods this year! A fun and fast moving event with presentations offering solutions to current problems, visionary and potentially wild ideas to improve towns and cities, plus our very own urban quiz. And not forgetting good food, and local brews.
A massive thank you to Glenn Howells Architects for hosting the event, RIBA MIdlands and LI West Midlands for co-sponsoring, all of our speakers and to everyone who came along to make it a great evening.
