Shifting sands – The role of good design in seaside regeneration - Littlehampton, 26 March
26-03-2007

Introduction
In 2003, English Heritage and the UK Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) published a major new report, "Shifting Sands", on the role of design in seaside regeneration. It demonstrated the impact that high quality buildings and open spaces have on the ways that historic resorts are developing, changing and re-inventing themselves. The Shifting Sands seminar will revisit the issues highlighted in the report.
Description
The seminar will look closely at a number of current seaside projects in the United Kingdom and consider how they contribute - or plan to contribute - to the economy, quality of life and regeneration of coastal communities. This seminar will be of particular interest to anyone involved in the management, regeneration, promotion and conservation of seaside towns or with an interest in presenting the best possible face of our seaside to visitors, investors, residents and employees
Speakers include:
  • John Sorrell, chair CABE
  • Thomas Heatherwick, designer of the local East Beach Café
  • David Marks and Marks Barfield, designers of i360 Tower for Brighton
