Regeneration Masterclass 2010


About the programme

Both the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and BURA have worked with the Homes and Communities Academy (HCA) to produce this Masterclass which has been endorsed by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). All are committed to creating sustainable communities. In order to achieve this, it is important to maximise knowledge, understanding and communication at all levels between the many and diverse organisations involved in the planning and delivery of such projects.

With this in mind, this programme for senior managers has been developed to address the more essential issues relating to the creation of sustainable communities and successful regeneration. The programme consists of three 24hr residential modules and will provide the opportunity for attendees to:

  • Discuss key issues with senior Government officials, policy-makers and practitioners from the public, private and voluntary sectors

  • Contribute to the policy of professional organisations concerned with sustainable communities and the regeneration process

  • Exchange knowledge with experienced senior professionals from a variety of backgrounds who have a desire to improve the UK's overall regeneration performance

Programme



In a mixture of keynote and breakout sessions current issues will be explored and discussed. The outcome will be an assessment of Government Policy, where it is on track and where it is likely to fail.

The aim will be to produce output that will be considered initially by both the CIH and BURA and potentially other professional and trade organisations with an interest in sustainable communities and regeneration processes.
