Paul Hogston will talk about Centenary Quay, a former SEEDA (Homes England) promoted site in Southampton that illustrates how to take a former shipyard and the challenges faced to create a new waterfront development (that is on the wrong side of the river), a vibrant community with over a thousand new homes, a thriving waterside population that has surprised people as to how successful and popular the place has become with new homes, local amenities, gardens, public realm and waterfront tower, all providing a successful regeneration and new access to a waterfront setting. Twelve years and counting….

Lucy Fineberg will talk about how her drive to select an international masterplan project drawing upon high quality waterside and landscape driven design complementing a new mixed use residential and business environment and how bringing together a design led team included a university tutor specialising in theatre design, helped to formulate a new urban design approach for Scott Brownrigg.
