Housing - The Future Conference

As part of the Festival of Architecture 2017, and in conjunction with Architecture & Design Scotland, you are welcome to attend a Scottish Government (Planning & Architecture) conference on Housing - the Future. The programme is now online.

This is a free event designed to share, and inspire, approaches to housing delivery at a range of scales. An opening address from Kevin Stewart, Minister for Local Government and Housing, will be followed by a series of speakers, and panel discussions, outlining thinking at a strategic, city and rural level to diversify the delivery of homes across Scotland.

You MUST register to secure your place at the event.
