HCA ‘Functional mapping’

HCA is consulting on the creation of a functional map for the place-making sector, with closing date 31 August.

The Better skills for better places partnership of more than 20 organisations committed to improving the skills of people in the sector is creating a functional map for place-making to capture this breadth of activity and recognise the common skills and tasks that practitioners are using in their jobs.

There are a number of occupations that sit under the umbrella of the ‘place-making sector’ – new requirements are demanding different skills within individual professions and increasingly the lines between them are blurring and overlapping as people take a more holistic approach to places.

This is your opportunity to help inform the development of this important piece of work and ensure that it truly reflects the activities and skills involved in place-making.

We’d be grateful if you would review the draft Functional Map for place-making and provide us with your comments on the questions posed at the end of each section of the map by 31st August 2010. This should take about 30 minutes.

You can respond to this consultation in two ways:

2. Complete the online survey
