Welcome to a new-look July issue of the Place Bulletin!
Month by month the Place Bulletin is a one-stop shop for the latest news and developments in the place management industry. We have given the format a makeover in order to keep it fresh; our recent Member survey revealed that the Bulletin is one of our most popular Membership resources, with over 85% of respondents using the Bulletin on a regular basis – therefore we hope the new format is well received.
For those new to the Bulletin; whether you're a town centre manager, an academic, policy maker or anything in between, we aim to bring you some of the stories relevant to you which have caught our eye over the past month.
This month's Bulletin includes news from the World of Politics, where John Healey and Shahid Malik have been busy with place related developments – as well as a report on how recent ministerial resignations have impacted upon town centre policy. We also have a story concerning the compulsory demolition of ‘run-down’ areas, and some news regarding the increasing number of people globally who are dwelling in towns and cities, as opposed to smaller suburban/rural areas. Finally, as if to reinstate the validity of the latter article, we have news from Saudi Arabia where work has begun on the creation of six major new cities.
We also have our usual range of IPM updates, including an extension to the deadline for paper/abstract submissions for a great event being held at Brunel Business School in September. In addition, we have much anticipated release of the World Congress 2010 call for papers, the event which looks set to be THE major date in the diary for next year.
