Place Forum: the power of place in child poverty and cost of living crisis

Join us and our guest speakers for the latest Place Forum 2023, an online event for those creating and investing in our places.

Place Forum brings together practitioners and decision-makers from all sectors and all parts of the country. The aim of the Forum is to share experience and learning and capture issues related to place-based working.

Our hope is that the Forum is very beneficial to those who attend and allows us to better understand the barriers that still exist in changing the way we plan, design and build our places.

This event looks at one of the core themes emerging from the 2022-23 Programme for Government: Child Poverty & Cost of living crisis, and at how the key institutions that help shape our places can work together to make place-based strategies relevant to tackling these themes.

This event will explore the theme of child poverty and cost of living crisis in Scotland, and showcase whole-place collaborative approaches to address the theme in the Scottish context.

Speakers will include representatives from:

• A Place in Childhood
• YoungScot
• Sustrans
• Architecture and Design Scotland

and many more! Watch this space for further information.
