Joint IPF / RICS Event: Financing Regeneration: The Power of Public-Private Partnerships

This joint IPF and RICS event will explore how large-scale urban regeneration can fuel inclusive growth, enhance prosperity and community well-being, and unlock social and financial capital to drive productivity across UK towns and cities. The session will focus on how innovative public-private investment partnerships can be utilised to supercharge delivery.

Our two speakers are both highly experienced in the delivery of city-scale urban regeneration and in securing funding for these. They will share their practical insights into how to assemble and blend what is often multiple sources and forms of investment, and so convert ambitious plans into actual development on the ground.

Peter Freeman is the Chair of the Government’s housing and regeneration Agency, Homes England. He is co-founder of property developer Argent and is well-known as one of the visionaries behind the revival of King's Cross, as well as major developments in Birmingham and Manchester.

Mary Parsons is Regeneration and Partnerships Director at Lovell Partnerships. She has over 25 years experience in the development, construction and regeneration industry; working across the private, housing association and consultancy sectors. She has been involved in some of the largest housing-led regeneration programmes in the UK.

The session will be chaired and moderated by Maggie Grogan. Maggie is the Midlands Managing Director for placemaker Muse, which is development partner on several major development schemes nationally including the £3.2bn, 346-acre Arden Cross regeneration in Solihull.

This event will be followed by a networking reception.
