Standards and Place Leadership - 10th Nov

Standards and Place Leadership

10th November | 2pm-3.30pm

Standards are crucial to successful, inclusive placemaking. Place policies, projects and partnerships are regularly tested by residents, businesses, community organisations and the media. To help encourage the adoption of standards across placemaking, the Institute of Place Management has developed codes of conduct for individual members, BIDs and partner organisations. Find out more and hear from placemaking practitioners about the standards they have in place, how they help, and challenges they’ve faced.

This webinar will support:

Place leaders - consider which standards are important in your role and how to transmit them to your organisation and stakeholders
Place managers - learn from other practitioners about how they've embedded standards in projects and partnerships
Hear from a range of UK and European perspectives and take practical learning into your own work.
