Roundtable: Activating Vacant High Street Space

Public–Private Partnerships and Practical Tools for Town Centre Renewal

Hosted in the Public Sector Hub, this roundtable will explore the current tools available, new and emerging policies and partnership models that are helping bring empty space back into productive use.
