A Lancashire Business View event

8:30am – 1pm, Thursday 28 September
Blackpool Football Club

Lancashire Business View will once again bring experts and commentators from across the built environment community together to examine the issues that matter at this live conference in September.

As the county looks to deliver its long-term strategic plan for the future: ‘Lancashire 2050’, we’ll be focusing on the part the built environment will play – whether that’s through major infrastructure projects, placemaking or by addressing the housing needs of our communities.

We’ll also be looking at the impact of inward investment – who is backing Lancashire’s regeneration, what projects are interesting them and what is driving their confidence in the county.

Partnerships between the public and private sector have been important in kick-starting and delivering regeneration in Lancashire, we’ll also look at how those partnerships will work in the future and their role in the Lancashire 2050 vision.

View the Lancashire 2050 plan here.

The conference will look in detail at the property elements of the Lancashire 2050 themes including:

  • Economic prosperity
  • Transport and infrastructure
  • Environment and climate
  • Housing
  • Employment and skills
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Communities and place

We will also take a wider look at the sector to bring you key updates on:

  • Flagship projects in Lancashire 
  • ESG
  • Planning
  • Levelling up
  • Regeneration and infrastructure
  • Lancashire heritage
  • Repurposing projects

And we’ll be bringing in thinking from both inside and outside of the county to offer a wider perspective.
