This panel discussion took place at Selwyn Road Playing Fields (Birmingham Settlement) in Ladywood on Thursday 13th July 2022 as part of Retrofit Reimagined Day 3: Existing And Emerging Practice In Retrofit. Retrofit Reimagined was a four day neighbourhood festival that ran 13th — 16th July 2022 in Birmingham, UK that sought to bring together neighbours, practitioners, and organisers from across the country who are focused on retrofit, its role in the future of decarbonising our built environment and a just transition.
Hosted in partnership with Dark Matter Labs, ACAN and zero carbon house, within a wider 3 week festival from CIVIC SQUARE that explored regenerative neighbourhoods together with many people and partners, as a collective we aimed to converge some of the most inspiring and impactful work on retrofit, with many different sectors, practices and ideas coming together to form new combinations.
Our hope is to establish solidarity, share knowledge and resources, and galvanise collective momentum around more equitable, creative, collective approaches to decarbonising the built environment, reimagining retrofit from being one of our biggest challenges to one of our greatest opportunities to transition equitably together.
