Planit host an Urbanistas Event
InsightsPlanit hosted the female-led Urbanistas North West network this week at our Altrincham studio to take a closer look at SocialValue in the Built Environment.
We hosted an Urbanistas event at our Altrincham Studio, with Helen Buckle as one of the panelists discussing Social Value.
We welcomed Charlie Butterwick from Architecture Unknown, who was the second panelist, and 20+ guests from different areas of our industry, which made the open discussion a lot more valuable!

Helen’s presentation was brilliant and insightful, which prompted a lot of questions for her and Charlie to respond to. We were shown case study examples, knowledge sharing of different methods, and how to embed critical and productive social value into projects.
Key takeaway - “changing our mindset and approach from check box social value to how can we do social valuable projects”

When a community awakens its uniqueness and operates authentically from its core identity, life can thrive. Regenerative sustainability becomes possible when reciprocal developmental relationships occur that promote the wellbeing of the whole system they occupy (Many, Haggard and Regenesis, 2019).
