Join us for an insightful session on the Elephant Recovery Project, where we explore how collaborative, cross-sector efforts between University of the Arts London, local businesses, and London’s Elephant and Castle community are fostering growth and resilience. Participants will gain valuable knowledge around creative placemaking, digital marketing, branding, and community engagement—key components of the project’s success. This session will delve into how the initiative, in partnership with Elephant and Castle Business Forum and The Means, worked alongside small businesses and community groups facing challenges following the closure of the historic shopping centre, post-Brexit and post Covid-19.
We’ll explore how to navigate the complexities of urban regeneration while celebrating and preserving the unique cultural identity of Elephant and Castle. Opening up discussions to share strategies around how to engage diverse communities, ensuring inclusivity and sustainability in redevelopment efforts.
This is a must-attend for anyone interested in community-driven urban planning, Higher Education placemaking and civic practice, the power of collaboration, and the future of small businesses in changing urban landscapes. It will also be of interest to creative students looking to understand how to connect their practice locally.
