Means client Better Bankside will host the launch of a major new publication - Living Spaces - on 18th February 2010. Peter Williams has also penned a chapter on Business Improvement Districts entitled 'A Model for Making Better Places?' You can download a copy of the publication from the RUDI website here. If you would like to attend the event, you will find the invitation here.

The purpose of Living Spaces, says RUDI, is 'to remind ourselves that even though things may currently be tough economically, our towns and cities have a bigger role in society than just providing us with a place to shop'. The publication includes articles that both explore the purpose of public space, and look at ways it can be ‘activated’ for civic benefit within vibrant and distinctive local urban areas.

The event will take place in Better Bankside's Bankside Community Space - a meeting and events venue that has become a popular and economical choice in central London.
