National Housing and Regeneration Conference - Birmingham

The Government has set out an ambitious house-building agenda, with a target of 1.5 million new homes in England alone. This is an opportunity to create high-quality places that create long-term value for people and the environment.

To debate how this quality can be achieved, the Landscape Institute (LI) is hosting regional conferences across the UK in 2025 and 2026 (Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast). The first will take place on Thursday 2nd October 2025 at Millennium Point, Birmingham.

This conference will debate and explore how, through a landscape-led approach, we can achieve the Government’s housing targets by 2029 while also creating places that are not just environmentally sustainable but also socially and economically successful for the future.

We look forward to hosting an interesting and informative event that will address ways in which many of the perceived tensions between development and environmental objectives can be better resolved.
