For many reasons, more housing in town centres is inevitable. While this presents many challenges, if integrated well, high street homes could boost the fortunes of town centres.
To achieve this there needs to be alignment between policy, practice and investment around town centre living.
Building on Scotland's Town Centre Action Plan, the Scottish Futures Trust has explored best practice in scaling up town centre living. ATCM is delighted that Mhairi Donaghy will help us to understand how to create great town centre living with best practice examples. She will be part of the panel ‘Policy and Practice in the Resi-fication of the High Street’.

The 2024 Place Management Conference will explore the future of UK and Irish town and city centres in the context of more housing. We will ask crucial questions on how we get the right balance between the two, what this shift means for the provision for place management services and the impact on the funding models we rely on.
The 2024 Place Management Conference will explore the topic of high street homes in a level of detail not previously explored at ATCM. Tickets are on sale now. Book early to avoid disappointment. For those wanting to pay via invoice and not via credit card, contact Karen Shields at Karen.Shields@atcm.org.
Additional discounts are available for group bookings.
