Overview
Jen Heal will present the principles of the Placemaking Wales Charter and highlight the importance of getting the right development, in the right location, with the right connections.
Jen will explore how the relationship between land use planning and transport planning is critical to this, and how this can establish the right conditions for high-quality, placemaking at street design level.
Representatives from Transport for Wales (TfW) will present some examples of placemaking-led design of streets in new developments and retrofitting streets in existing places.
TfW will also cover their approach to embedding placemaking within the organisation to ensure all projects contribute positively to their place.
