Wales Regeneration Summit 2014; Regenerating Wales: Recreating the future of Welsh Towns and Cities

Thursday 23rd October, Liberty Stadium, Swansea

The 2014 summit follows on from the successful event held in November 2012. The key theme this time will be town centres in Wales, including sessions on residentialisation of towns and cities, urban poverty, and the importance of infrastructure programmes to deliver regeneration. The summit will provide updates on the Welsh Government’s Vibrant and Viable Places programme and the progress of Business Improvement Districts (BIDs). It will also provide opportunities for learning from other town centre initiatives in Wales and elsewhere.
