London, UK - 23 January 2018

Music as Placemaking

KEY INFO

On Tuesday 23rd January 2018, Sound Diplomacy presented the first edition of our new 2018 series of 'mini' Sound Development conferences which will be taking place all over the UK.

In 2019, the Mayor of London is implementing the most pro-culture London Plan in history. Over 15 music venues are in development across the capital. Many local authorities, including Newham have implemented night time economy strategies into local plans. Yet, this is only the beginning. Some believe that there is still a disconnect between the planning sector and music, creatives and culture. How do we measure viability? What is placemaking's role? All of these themes were tackled during the conference, which examined two examples of game changing music development in London - The Rattle and Tileyard Studios - and explored the future of music, culture, night time economy and development in London.
