Designing Watford Town Centre for the Future : Events Tickets Release!

Designing Watford Town Centre for the Future: come and join the conversation!

We have two events coming up where we will be discussing key issues about Watford town centre, and we would like you to join our panels to contribute to the debate.

Event 1: Homes in the Town Centre

Thursday 3 rd March 2022 5.30pm 15-17 Queens Rd, Atria

Click here to book your place for Event 1.

More and more people want to live in town centres – and Watford is no exception. More homes in the town centre generate footfall and demand for shops, businesses and services. It’s important that these town centre neighbourhoods are walkable and that communities feel connected.

  • Who should we be building homes for?
  • What should they look like?
  • Do we really need parking?
  • Event 2: What is social infrastructure and how do we build it?

    9th March 2022 5.30pm 15-17 Queens Rd, Atria

    Click here to book your place for Event 2.

    Social infrastructure is a key part of the ‘software’ of our towns and cities: helping to build the connections between people and provide places for them to meet, as givers or recipients of services, or to spend time and socialize with each other. Places like cafes and libraries form part of the social infrastructure network, creating employment as well as connections. Developers have a role in ensuring the wellbeing of their customers, too.

  • How do we define social infrastructure in Watford?
  • Does it work well? Can we improve it? If so, how?
  • How can developments help build a strong social infrastructure?
  • Limited number of tickets available, so book now!
