MADE.

MADE is working in partnership with University of Birmingham (Dr Phil Jones) and University of Manchester (Dr James Evans) on a research project entitled Rescue Geography.

Rescue geography is a methodology that is being developed to capture a community’s sense of place and feed these values into the planning process. This creative and professional approach aids in creating a systematic application for future urban planning and development.

It offers local authorities and developers the potential to enhance ‘cultural sustainability' in their professional designed environment practice and have a significant impact on the future quality of place making.

The methodology is also feeding into the community consulation taking place as part of the Warwick Bar development.
