CRFR National Conference:
Smaller Households, Smaller Families: implications for policy, planning and
support
8th November, John McIntyre Centre, Edinburgh
http://www.crfr.ac.uk/events/natconference.htm
Changes in the way we live are going to have huge implications for how we
plan our towns and cities, how we support individuals and families and how
we shape policy to reflect the new reality of smaller households and smaller
families. This one-day conference offers and opportunity to consider these
changes, where we are today, where we might be going, and how what we do
needs to evolve as families and households shrink.
