Natasha Day, Policy Principal (Senior Planner) at the Government of Jersey will be talking about place making: healthy environments for healthier communities

The session will cover some of the Government of Jersey’s work to understand the supply and demand for high quality open and green spaces and how this could translate into new planning policy for the next decade.

The talk will highlight how beyond government, islanders, businesses and third sector groups are able to significantly influence how we all see and interact with the Island environment.
