Talking Planning
Build environment skilling for young creatives in the London boroughs of Brent, Ealing and Hammersmith & Fulham.
In the midst of Covid-19 lockdown, DK-CM, Create London and the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation worked with a group of young people from three London boroughs to bring them into direct contact with contemporary processes of planning and built environment delivery. Topics ranged from the politics of planning communication & knowledge to the processes of developing a Local Plan.
