OUR JULY EVENT

Our last event explored how the current approaches to planning, constructing and operating our built/natural environment need to change to achieve net zero and address the housing shortage while sustaining growth.

Together with innovators across energy, transport, housing, planning and the natural environment, we discussed how the sector is pivoting towards delivering net zero emissions, adapting to climate change and fostering economic growth. 

As a new generation of innovators is building on open-source, agile and user-centred digital methods to drive change, we discussed key questions:

• Infrastructure is known for being a waterfall process - can infrastructure be agile? How are you using digital, data, design and tech to do this?
• What is the next step/opportunity in your sector to achieve better outcomes through digital?
• How are we collaborating across the sector - what more can we do?

We were joined by a line-up of four fantastic speakers to share their insights:

• Niki Kesharaju, Senior Decarbonisation Strategy Manager at National Grid
• Robert Singleton, Head of Planning, Housing and Transport at Department for Transport   
• Rachel Fisher, Deputy Director Land Use Policy at Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs 
  
• Matt Wood-Hill, Head of Digital Planning Software at the Department for Levelling Up Housing and Communities 

We'd love to see you at our next event in the autumn. Register your interest below!
