PLACED Information

PLACED specialises in place education and engagement, developing knowledge and community insights into the built environment. We believe that everyone is an expert when it comes to the places where they live, work, or spend time. We bring collaboration and diversity to discussion around the built environment, creating opportunities for quality conversations and genuine engagement. PLACED support those who are traditionally under-represented in having their voices heard. We engage with a huge range of people, and create opportunities for diverse voices to be involved in conversations around our places and spaces. PLACED works with schools, colleges, architects, developers, housing associations and local authorities, alongside a wide range of sponsors and partners, who fund our PLACED Academy. The PLACED Academy is a free to access, creative programme about the built environment for 14-18 year olds from across the Northwest, empowering young people to shape the places we live, work and spend time.
