Location: Develop Croydon
Date: 20th November 2018
SHED TO SHOP
Croydon’s retail offer is about to undergo major regeneration, but how will this cater for both the young and old as the population in the town centre grows and diversifies? How has the online offering affected its industrial sector and what effect will the new shopping centre have on this? Can online and physical retail work together to create the ideal shopping and leisure experience for all ages?
Questions we will address:
How to kick start a creative hub in new development? How is retail getting disrupted by new pop-up culture? Where to invest to attract Millennials? What is the best strategy for commercial property investors and how city planners can get ahead of the digital revolution?
Eva has co-authored High Street Grimsey Review and will share findings from case studies and real-life examples of the successful paths to thriving new as well as regenerated urban hubs.
