Building the Future: Lessons from the New Towns’
Harlow Civic Society AGM September 24th, 7 – 9pm.
Venue: Council Chamber, Civic Centre

ANYONE with an interest in New Towns and Housing is welcome to attend the Harlow Civic Society AGM on September 24th from 7 – 9pm at the Harlow Civic Centre. Rowan Gilbert from the Town Planning Association will be speaking on the theme of ‘Building the Future: Lessons from the New Towns’, which is highly topical given that the building of new towns is on the new government’s agenda. What lessons can be taken from existing planned towns such as Harlow?

Rowan is responsible for managing the TCPA’s promotion of garden city principles in policy, legislation, education and the arts and is undertaking this role as a 12-month secondment from her role as Senior Town Planner at NHS Property Services. Rowan is a Chartered Town Planner (MRTPI) and holds a Master’s degree in Urban Studies and Planning from the University of Sheffield. 

After Rowan’s talk the Society will hold the business side of its Annual General Meeting.

This talk is free for all to attend though donations will be welcome to help HCS continue its work to celebrate and protect the built environment of Harlow.
