| Welcome |
Welcome to the June issue of the IPM’s official newsletter. Month by month the Place Bulletin is a one-stop shop for the latest news and developments in the place management industry. 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 New York, as Times Square undergoes some major vehicle reducing changes, we also have news of Manchester and Leeds new city region status, as well as a piece on Manchester’s new Cutting Room project, which looks set to become a really good new public space. In addition we have some updates from the world of politics, with Hazel Blears, amongst others, again worthy of media attention(this time for the right reasons). We also have our usual range of IPM updates, including a call for papers for a great event being held at Brunel Business School, and a request for student helpers from one of our Approved Partners, RUDI. As always, we want to hear from you if you have anything that you would like to appear in the Bulletin, particularly if you are based outside of the UK. Please contact Gareth@placemanagement.org if you have any interesting news, conference information or other ideas for forthcoming issues. |
