Watch our story unfold

A big final day in Glasgow for Hannah and the Urba A big final day in Glasgow for Hannah and the Urban Design Group Team, this morning she’ll be speaking about Places Where You Can Thrive, presenting: 💥Making Communities Happen: The Essentials for Thriving Places💥

Drawing on the Urban Design Group’s Growing and Sustaining Communities work, Hannah will explore what happens when we stop thinking only about the number of homes we create and start thinking much harder about the strength of the communities that grow around them.

💥 What helps people belong?

💥 What makes somewhere more than a collection of buildings?

💥 And what do we need to put in place from the beginning if we genuinely want communities to thrive?

Then this afternoon, Hannah joins Dr May East and Daisy Narayanan MBE in conversation to ask another brilliant question:

🦄 What if the City Is Already Alive? 🦄 We think it’s a fitting way to end a week of thinking about cities not simply as plans, buildings and infrastructure, but as the complex, living places shaped by the people within them, that they are.

#UrbanDesign #Community #Placemaking #UDG #PeopleAtTheHeartOfPlace
It’s HERE - it’s Day 1 of the National Urban Desig It’s HERE - it’s Day 1 of the National Urban Design Conference.

This morning Hannah is co-chairing the conference with our edge favourite Rob Thompson, opening the day alongside Professor Campbell Booth, Professor Brian Mark Evans and Karen Shaw of Glasgow Life.

Later, Hannah swaps the microphone for a pen in her workshop, The Pen as a Talking Stick to explore drawing as a tool for thinking and conversation.

Building on Kevin Lynch’s The Image of the City, participants will look at how paths, edges, districts, nodes and landmarks shape the way we experience and remember places.

Shhhh… the workshop isn’t really about learning to draw…! We will be recognising that the same street, square or neighbourhood can feel completely different depending on who is experiencing it. Drawing is about...
💜 It’s about making thinking visible.

💜 Passing the pen.

💜 Seeing what somebody else sees.

#UrbanDesign #KevinLynch #Placemaking #InclusiveDesign #UDG
Conference week starts TONIGHT and Hannah will be Conference week starts TONIGHT and Hannah will be at The Haberdashery in Glasgow for Four Minutes to Change the City - an evening of fast, provocative ideas about how we might think differently about our cities.

💡You get four minutes.

💡One idea.

💡And the chance to change the conversation.

edge is delighted to be co-sponsoring the evening alongside Maccreanor Lavington, Urban Movement and CIVIC, and Hannah is honoured to be presenting the prize for the best talk of the night. We’re looking forward to hearing what people bring to the room.

Sometimes a big change starts with one small idea.
