On January 25, Property X-Change and founding partner Cross River Partnership are co-hosting a panel discussion around town centre stewardship.

This conversation will explore how different types of organisations can promote proactive management and stewardship of high street property to create more resilient and dynamic places.

Expert place makers Gianluca Rizzo (Brixton BID) and Stephanie Edwards (Urban Symbiotics) will be presenting on their experiences working in high streets, both in Brixton and engaging communities. They will be sharing examples of positive place management in such dynamic areas of London. Rachael Aldridge (CRP) will be recapping lessons learned about place stewardship from the Town Centre Futures report and its 10 case studies. These insights span transport, economic, environmental and community aspects of Town Centres.

Options to join in person and online.
