      MSc Urban Regeneration

      Community Involvement in the Built Environment. This course was established by two famous architects. Lord Richard Rogers and Brian Anston (RIP) who was a driving force in community involvement in the 70s and 1980s. With the "can do" support of Professor Mike Beazley, Urban Planner and founder of the mobile approach to urban planning, this course changed my life. We can change local outcomes - these three guys did it repeatedly!

      “How wonderful it is that none need wait a single moment before starting to change the world.” Anne FrankI joined the Green Party because it cares. We care about the quality of life of our people. We care about our planet. We represent a new order, a new way of thinking, one that puts people & planet at the core of decision making.We are the only logical choice for me and for anyone who wants something better. As the Membership Officer, I will be working closely with the committee and our partners to increase our membership and share our values. We have a huge challenge ahead but together we can make a lasting difference. People are fed up with this corrupt 2 party system.I believe it’s time to weave a new fabric and to change the world. The Green Party is the only party that speaks to my values. I think it will speak to yours. If you’d like to know more go to www.greenparty.org Show less
