The panel will discuss ways in which businesses are getting more involved with the communities and neighbourhoods in which they are based. Organisations are helping to bridge the communication between businesses in communities and community projects, they set exciting precedents for the future of private and public collaboration. Companies are also engaging with the built environment in new ways by creating short term pop-ups in new developments to test audiences and client bases, leading to experimental design projects. These projects are also supported by new businesses who are facilitating the connections between the brands and unused spaces.
