Scotland's built environment and its communities are closely connected — and this free, expanded summit at the SEC in Glasgow brings together local authorities, housing associations, developers, planners and policymakers for a full day of sector-specific discussion. New for 2026 is a dedicated Scottish Housing Pavilion, with a curated programme exploring affordable housing delivery, funding pressures, decarbonisation and asset management. For those working at the intersection of place, planning and community safety, the housing and planning strands are likely to be of most interest.

Who this is for:

• Local authority staff working on housing, planning or place-based approaches
• Community safety practitioners with an interest in the built environment
• Third sector and public sector colleagues working on place and community wellbeing
