    Please join us to be the first to hear about the ULI UK Urban Art Forum "Including Culture in Development – A Step by Step Guide".

    The release of the guide will take place at a breakfast briefing at London City Hall, 8.15 - 10.30 am on Wednesday 23 October 2019.  
     
    The ULI UK Urban Art Forum is announcing the publication of a new guide set to help improve the creation and integration of quality public art and cultural infrastructure within development. The publication outlines six steps that can be taken to achieve high quality results and includes real-life examples and interviews.

    This event, and guide, is relevant to local authorities, developers, local community, creative industries, artists/institutions, design professionals, communication and branding experts and cultural strategists. Hear from our authors and expert panel, who will outline the key messages of the guide and discuss challenges and opportunities.  
    Our aspiration is to encourage collaboration by providing a clear route through the earliest stages of a development; ensuring the right people are around the table, and are able to have a more informed, productive dialogue on their priorities, vision and opportunities.

    Support for the guide comes from PLP Architecture, Futurecity, Sound Diplomacy, Launch Pad, Contemporary Art Society, Ed Watson & Associates, and more.
