We are delighted to announce the launch of the new TUI seminar series.

In March we will be kicking off with Planning for the Just City presented by special guest speaker Prof Susan Fainstein. In May we have scheduled Urban Design for Mental Health Mid to Post Covid-19 with Prof Jenny Roe.

For our next seminar in September, Euan Leitch, Chief Executive SURF – Scotland’s Regeneration Forum, will talk on 20 Minute Neighbourhoods: New Policy, Old Idea.
