If you want to find out what community means - and whether or why it matters - this event is a must.
With the appointment of David Miliband as the first Minister for Communities, it is clear that the government takes the decline of community very seriously. But can it do anything to rediscover 'community values'?
Do official interventions help or hinder? What does community mean today and how does it differ from the past? Does community bind us together or divide us?
The one-day event includes workshops on:
What are sustainable communities?
Localism versus parochialism
Making - or faking - civil society
New Urbanism or old
Multiculturalism: diversity or integration
Policing responsible behaviour
community counselling: self-esteem or self-obsession?
If you want to find out what's in store for cities in general and London in particular; to challenge the prevailing direction of urban policy; or simply to meet and question the leading architectural practitioners and critics, this event is a must.
