We have enjoyed visiting Perry Beeches II Free School today, helping to deliver the Urban Land Institute’s exciting education initiative “UrbanPlan”.

It helps young people understand the role real estate plays to revive and regenerate urban areas and it brings to life the urban environment through a series of interactive real-life workshops and team working challenges. It is designed to enrich the curriculum, develop links between schools and industry and promote careers in real estate too.

Following our involvement last year, we are pleased to be able to contribute again this year alongside other property industry from a range of disciplines including surveyors, planners, developers and lawyers to give local students a valuable insight into the construction industry and the role of architects in development.

We will be back in two weeks when rival student development corporations will pitch their regeneration schemes to the panel of industry experts. Great fun!
