The final session of our conference about how to create #places that support #children and young people to thrive starts with Dinah Bornat of @ZCD_Architects, introducing #VoiceOpportunityPower, a toolkit for involving young people in #planning places... voiceopportunitypower.com
But, it turns out that #older people also want to be involved in shaping #places... and their concerns are often similar - '#intergenerational is the way forward', says Dinah Bornat...

This morning at @theTCPA conference Developing Well we heard about *why* creating places in which #children and young people can thrive is so important... this afternoon we will hear *how* to do it... First, Jenny Rutherford from @LeedsCC_News explains their impressive work on #PlaySufficiency...

'What could be more important than creating environments where #parents and #children and #families can thrive?', asks @AnneLongfield of @CfYoungLives, opening our conference, Developing Well... 'Most #children and #families in the country are doing OK. But there is a sizeable group - millions - who are not. This will impact their lives, and our future prosperity too...' - Anne Longfield @CfYoungLives

Now, Robin Waddell, of Greenbelt, introduces his company and how they take on and manage green spaces in #NewCommunities across the UK... 'We make sure that obligations set out in S106 really are discharged by the developer,' says Waddell. 'We think the S106 schedules should be more prescriptive.'

Next speaker is Philip Bowsher @TheParksTrust, a stewardship org that has 30 years' experience... Manages about 25% of land across #MiltonKeynes; an independent charity that generates its own income, manages #parks and #landscapes but doesn't need to charge residents...

.@CatrionaRiddel1 now introducing Mark Patchett, who is managing #stewardship @ebbsfleetdc... He starts by asking: 'What is #stewardship? It's about looking after community assets, with the aim of creating a great #place...'

Our webinar about long-term stewardship is about to begin... we'll be tweeting the highlights here... #TCPAwebinars Richard Ford of @Pinsent_Masons talking about the work they do to support #stewardship, particularly in new communities...
