Conferences and other speaking engagements
Urban design is open to a world of imagination – but in order to bring projects to life, there needs to be a connection between those who create the plans, and those who approve them.
The theme of the 5th International Biennial Conference of the Institute of Place Management is Transforming Place - exploring processes and practice that shape the relationship between people and the place they live.
The International Cities Town Centres and Communities Society (ICTC) invites you to join them at the 19th ICTC Conference to be held at The Ville Resort —Townsville, North Queensland from 23 to 25 October 2019.
The ICTC conference brings together a diverse cross-section of city leaders and urban place professionals—from those who lead and plan cities and town centres right through to those who implement and manage them on the ground.
In this panel event, speakers discuss their experiences with cultural and creative placemaking in the urban environment. Taking in the perspectives of urban designer, landscape architect, government, developer, cultural placemaker and artist, the session unpacks the meaning and impact of the current placemaking phenomenon.

This value comes on top of the practical benefits; research shows that passengers feel safer, are willing to wait longer for connections and even prepared to pay more for their trips in transport infrastructure displaying art.

The words art and culture have become conflated.
When a government or developer commissions a piece of art it enables them to tick a box marked Culture.
Our practice based research set out to establish whether this is a sound model - what is it that enables governments and developers to fulfil their cultural obligations by commissioning art?
