National Housing and Regeneration Half-Day Conference: Northern Ireland

Overview

How a Landscape-led approach is essential for people, place and nature

This half-day conference will examine how a landscape-led approach can support the delivery of housing and regeneration ambitions in Northern Ireland.

The Landscape-led Approach

A Landscape-led approach places the landscape at the heart of decision-making from the outset of built environment projects. It encompasses:

Placemaking: Ensuring developments strengthen community connections and improve quality of life.
Resilience: Enhancing the resilience of places in the face of climate and nature emergencies.
Sustainability: Underpinning the delivery of liveable places that unify policy, planning, design, and management.
By embedding landscape activity early in developments, the approach maximises economic, environmental, health, and well-being benefits for people, place, and nature.

This conference is designed for landscape professionals, developers, planners, housing providers, and local authorities.
