People-Centric Places- How do we plan with the end-user as the starting point? 

​

Now, the places we live, work and play must have their future community as the starting point of their purpose and design. Our keynote panel discusses how this can be achieved with real-world pressures of evolving community needs, consumer behaviour and economic uncertainty.
