In our latest SfH podcast, Piers Williamson, Chair of Sustainability for Housing, is joined by Catherine Ryder, Chief Executive at PlaceShapers, a national network of social housing providers committed to supporting thriving communities.

During this episode, you’ll have the chance to hear an expert discussion on all things place, from the importance of embedding place shaping within strategy to what successful place shaping will look like in the future.

Key talking points include:

• Organisations should embed place shaping into their core housing strategies, rather than viewing it as an afterthought.
• Housing associations should measure place through tangible outcomes, like health, wellbeing and repair costs, to demonstrate its value to board.
• New homes delivered must intentionally meet resident need without sacrificing long-term community quality.
• Allocations and local letting plans are powerful placemaking tools, not just administration.
