Curb Appeal: Retail & the ‘New Normal’ for Town Centres

Wednesday 1 July @ 1.30pm to 2.30pm

Social distancing has been key to reducing Covid-19 transmission and protecting public health, but it’s also been hugely disruptive. As loosening restrictions jostle with public confidence and business risk, what are the implications for urban design and movement, and for business and landlord viability? And can we flex enough to navigate a second wave?

In this webinar Ally Reid Investment Manager LandSec, Harbinder Birdi Senior Partner Hawkins Brown, Jacqueline Bleicher, Urban Design Director Global Urban Design will discuss:

1. What councils, landlords and masterplanners can do to make the space outside shops & restaurants a pleasant ‘waiting room’?
2. What impact retail occupiers expect on operations and revenue, and what they’re doing about it?
3. How area-aware station design for Crossrail and and other infrastructure projects may be impacted – or may help?
