‘Character Building’ – Putting heritage at the heart of planning and placemaking. Our historic environment provides not only a rich architectural and cultural resource, but also a wealth of models of sustainable and healthy living.

IHBC’s London branch looks at this topic from a nationwide perspective with issues ranging from estate management to public realm improvements and will include advice on the contribution that archaeology can make to placemaking.
