What makes a successful city centre? Join our expert panel to shape inclusive, accessible, and future proof city centres for all.
About this Event

What makes a successful city centre and who are we designing it for? How do we create city centre spaces that balance people, place and purpose?

Cities everywhere are rethinking their centres - who they serve, how they feel and how they respond to the pressures of modern life. York is at a pivotal moment, meeting the challenges of rising costs and environmental pressures and embracing a unique opportunity to harness our heritage, creativity and vibrant communities.

Join our diverse panel of design leaders and urban visionaries to help shape a city centre that’s inclusive, accessible and future proof for all. Whether you’re a resident, business owner, student or simply someone who cares about the future of our city, help us build a centre that works for you.

Presented in partnership with City of York Council with the support of the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority, our event is an invitation to imagine a future where public spaces support wellbeing, protect the environment and allow communities to thrive. Let’s create a city where transport, streets and public spaces work seamlessly together.

Following our panel discussion, you’re warmly invited to stay for drinks and a chat.

This event is presented in partnership with City of York Council with the support of the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
