Festival of Place: Social Impact 2026

Festival of Place: Social Impact
Join us from 2-3 February on Airmeet from 11am-2pm for two lunchtime learning sessions.
This year, we will be taking a closer look at the social impact of housing. We’ll be hearing from investors who are powering change by investing in the building or retrofit of social housing, taking a deep dive into systemic issues in the housing market and what needs to change and finding out what contributes to quality of life for tenants in built-to-rent homes.
We’ll also be looking at the social impact of public spaces – how feminist planning can support a safer city in the context of violence against women and girls, and how exemplary design can deliver positive health and belonging impacts for people. We will also be looking at emerging thinking on measuring social impact.
Join us over two days, two long lunches, everything streamed live with Q&A and recorded
