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.
