Realising Resilience – an introduction to Green Urbanisation. Back with a difference!

Back in March, the country went into lockdown just as we were about to go on the road with the first Realising Resilience roadshow. Since then we have been working to deliver the event online and in a new way that will allow us to showcase much more.

The new Realising Resilience e-Roadshow extends our original schedule allowing a greater regional focus. To the initial Manchester, Birmingham and London events, we’ve now added Wales and Scotland.

 

The line-up of expert speakers at each weekly event will talk around a particular theme associated with Green Urbanisation. They’ll share thoughts and insight, drawing on relevant experience, projects and new approaches from across the region. Please feel free to sign-up to as many as you like – our aim is to deliver each within one hour. 

 

The Realising Resilience e-Roadshow schedule can be seen below. For any event queries or further information please contact: Civils.Marketing@polypipe.com
