Subject: Designing Environments as if People Matter? - Schumacher Institute Conference

#PeopleMatterConf


The Schumacher Institute for Sustainable Systems and MEM are delighted to have teamed up to launch a London-based conference series under the banner of "People Matter<http://www.mem-events.com/event-people-matter-designing-environments-as-if-people-matter-10>."

There are many pressing challenges facing society today - health, housing, work styles, economy, climate change and resource depletion to name but a few. Consequently, policy makers and professionals are poised to instigate major infrastructure investments and urban/settlement expansion in order to alleviate the challenges that we all face during coming years. However, there is a significant risk that mistakes of the past will be repeated if a collaborative and robust people-focused approach is not taken.

How can we avoid these mistakes? We are actively bringing together a variety speakers at this conference to cover topics such as health, housing and work. Cross-cutting themes will include resilient communities; engagement and inclusion; and sustainable social, economic and environmental ecosystems.

Full details are on our website, but in brief our programme includes:

People Matter - Keynote Presentation
