Activities

We work with our partners and members of the public to jointly define and co-create diverse routes to different future places.

The Future Places Centre is undertaking numerous activities. each of these relates to its themes of the natural environment, the built environment and healthy living, and each is addressed in ways that combine the ambitions of the centre with its partners (such as Eden North) with communities that are interested. The Centre is always keen to welcome new collaborators as well as develop new activities under the auspices of its themes.
