Synopsis

Our social infrastructure - the shared spaces and public places that form a part of our everyday lives - are often overlooked, yet are a crucial part of our communities on many levels. This seminar looks at some of the recent policy and academic thinking around social infrastructure based on a selection of findings from Sophie’s recent research work with older volunteers in Wales.  Sophie will also be asking delegates about how they use and experience the third places in their own neighbourhoods, as well as discussing how these spaces might be better supported generally.
