The IHBC’s London Branch is delighted to announce the launch of its celebrated annual ‘Day Conference’ for 2014, exploring regeneration, which will take place at the institute’s favoured London venue, the listed Royal College of Physicians in Regent’s Park, on 7 October.
The IHBC’s London Branch writes:
We can all think of examples of conservation-led regeneration. From the renewal of Covent Garden in the 1970s to the current revitalisation of King’s Cross, London has had more than its fair share of showcase projects. Are there ways in which we can use this experience to inform our day-to-day business nationwide of breathing new life into the historic environment?
In this, the ninth of our IHBC London Conferences, we will examine regeneration at the local level, and show how a conservation-based approach can provide positive results for both community and business. The conference will include a wide range of issues including high street regeneration, meeting the challenge of Assets of Community Value, saving the British pub, neighbourhood planning and conservation and aligning conservation services to regeneration. Case studies will include King’s Cross and the former EMI records plant at Hayes.
This conference will be of relevance to conservation officers and other heritage professionals, planners, architects, engineers, surveyors, building preservation trusts and archaeologists.
Conference fee* (to include buffet lunch) from:
£100 for IHBC members and £145 for non members
*As well as our normal payment choices, bookings can be paid for with credit/debit cards.
The venue is the Royal College of Physicians?, 11 St Andrews Place, Regent’s Park, London NW1 4LE
