Monday 30th October 2023. 4-6pm.
This is the third in the series of SEDA Land Conversations building on its successful Building Futures Conversation held on 18 April 2023.
The overall aim of the series is to stimulate more sustainable place making in rural Scotland and explore ways to reverse depopulation in these areas. We will primarily focus on housing, communal spaces and workplaces using existing buildings and new build. We will also consider the infrastructure needed to make sustainable communities such as good broadband connections and care for the elderly and young.
The aim of this Conversation will be to delve deeper into the obstacles facing communities that are seeking to develop alternative housing schemes. Solutions might include the need for more support for facilitators to help the building process flow more smoothly and quickly.
We will look at inspirational models such as John Gilbert Architects’ East Whins Ecovillage at Findhorn in Morayshire and the Balcaskie Estate in Fife.
