Heritage as a Catalyst for Good Design

Heritage is a powerful foundation for innovation. Rather than limiting creativity, it provides a rich context that can inspire exceptional design.

Through expert insights and case studies, we’ll explore how integrating heritage considerations into your local planning framework can drive innovative design solutions, strengthen the sense of place, and create lasting economic and cultural value for communities.

Join industry experts for an engaging discussion on strategies and policies that leverage heritage to enhance urban density while preserving identity, fostering dynamic and sustainable development.
