Tomorrow's @ICLRD_Org webinar considers where/how health and well-being ‘fit’ into spatial planning policy and practice? What did the responses to the socio-economic & health threats of the COVID-19 pandemic teach us about the type of spaces/places we want to live in? Join us ⬇️

Very informative visit to Omagh, gaining insights on: people and place; the town’s rich natural assets and future opportunity sites; the council’s community planning and spatial planning leads driving the new local ‘Place-Shaping Plan’. Excited to be working with @fermanaghomagh

[UPLAN @PRD_UlsterUni]

Great to be visiting Omagh, discussing new ‘Place-Shaping Plan’ with @fermanaghomagh staff - and how our students will complement this work - and exploring the assets and opportunities in the town centre. Special thanks to Siobhan, Alan, Kim and Kieran.

Such a joy to be back out and about again with students, visiting places and discussing the value of place with those who live there - and no better place to do this than in Northern Ireland’s more significant garden village! Community stewardship in action.

[Dr Heather Ritchie @hezjritchie]

This morning @grafferty & I took @PRD_UlsterUni students to Merville Garden Village to see what they have been learning in class about the origins of planning and the garden city movement - thanks to our brilliant contributor @Drumnadrough - Stephen, Catherine & Barbara!
