People Make Places - How culture, community and design shape thriving futures
People Make Places brings together people from across the worlds of place-making, culture, development and community to explore a simple but important idea: great places are made by real people.
Hosted by Octopus Associates Academy at the iconic Compressor House in Royal Docks, the event will create space for conversation, ideas and connections around the people and partnerships that can help places like the Royal Docks thrive.
From ambitious regeneration projects to cultural activity, community engagement and the creation of memorable experiences, the event will explore and define what it takes to make places that people genuinely value, use and feel connected to.
Expect thoughtful discussion, fresh perspectives, practical workshops and opportunities to meet others who are passionate about creating better places and stronger communities.
