London Design Festival and Urban Design Week 2007 Event

Creativity, Culture and Change are the themes of a one-day conference on leading regeneration projects through art and creativity with a focus on the mega-development at Kings Cross. The event will include presentations of Artists for Places – a partnership between CABE, A&B and Arts Council England; an evaluation by Comedia on the PROJECT scheme to support public art strategies embedded within the planning system; an open forum with key speakers on art, architecture, landscape and planning, debating the role of art and cultural activity within the design of the built environment.

The conference is targeted at public art officers, artists, community development officers, urban designers, property developers, planners, architects, town centre managers, economic development officers, regeneration managers and policy makers.

The event is being organised with the supported of Arts and Business, Create KX, London Borough of Camden, Art in the Open, LCACE (London Centre for Arts and Cultural Enterprise), Axis, ixia (Public Art Think Tank), PASW (Public Art South West) and RUDI (Resource for Urban Design Information).
