Join us for the launch of our 2025 research report! Our annual ‘State of the Nation’ research with Lambert Smith Hampton is designed to help understand the diverse trends and issues facing our towns, shopping centres and high streets. The research will also help to highlight, showcase and identify workable solutions to help deliver the revitalisation and reinvention of our places and spaces that meet the needs of all key stakeholders.
We will be joined by experts from both the public and private sectors to discuss the key findings of our latest survey, and outline the solutions identified to help the future recovery of our towns, high streets and shopping centres.
This is a FREE event but please note that places are limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
