Revo was proud to welcome attendees both in person and online for the official launch of the 2025 State of the Nation Report, delivered in partnership with Lambert Smith Hampton. The event marked a significant moment in the ongoing conversation around regeneration and place-making across the UK.
At the heart of the discussion was a timely and thought-provoking question:
“Does a new era of Government herald a new dawn for the revitalisation and regeneration of our centres?”
The event featured a series of compelling keynote presentations and a dynamic panel discussion, bringing together influential voices from across the public and private sectors. Together, they explored bold ideas and practical strategies for shaping the future of our towns, high streets, and shopping centres.
Featured Speakers Included:
- Dr. Steven Norris, Lambert Smith Hampton
- Vivienne King, Revo & Impactful Places
- Paul Roberts, Oldham Council
- Phil Hepworth, AEW Architects
- Victoria Gould, Landsec
- Chris Ives, Lambert Smith Hampton
- Ojay McDonald, Association of Town & City Management
- Stuart Harris, Milligan & Revo
We extend our sincere thanks to each of our speakers for their insights, passion, and commitment to driving forward the regeneration agenda.
