Published by the RIBA, this book reflects on how we can revive high streets to become the 'diverse, characterful, independent places that existed before they were homogenised by big retail.'
On July 13, 2022, we facilitated our first live exchange in the shape of a 15-person panel discussion for the official launch of Property X-Change. 39 exchanges, 80+ active co-creators, hundreds of attendees and a growing network of engaged stakeholders later, we can reflect on all that the project has achieved in one year.
On September 6, 2023, Property X-Change attended the 'Future of shopping centres' retail event, hosted by Business LDN. Read for a detailed summary and some key insights!
Discover the inspiring journey of the Rising Green Youth Hub, a co-created space on Wood Green high street. This case study tells the story of how diverse demographics and professionals came together to create a safe space for young people on the high street.
In this brief Q&A, vacant property expert Shaylesh Patel talks us through business rates, shedding light on what they are, who uses them, and the silver linings they offer for both landlords and the local community.
With a network of more than one hundred local volunteers and an ambitious range of activities, Palmers Green Action Team has become one of London’s most inspiring examples of community-led high street regeneration.
