Building in my backyard? Tackling opposition to infrastructure and housing
Thursday 26 February, 12:00 - 13:00
Local resistance is often one of the strongest barriers to constructing new infrastructure and homes. What can developers and policymakers do to minimise local opposition?
In this webinar, we’ll examine how people living near proposed infrastructure and housing projects form their positions and why consultation processes often fail to build trust. We will also consider views on public engagement and community benefit schemes.
Hosted by our Energy and Planning Lead, Chris Annous, the webinar will draw in particular on focus group research exploring these questions among communities affected by the construction of electricity pylons along Britain’s East Coast.
