On April 29th, 2025, Phoenix will be attending and exhibiting at the Building New Communities Conference at RIBA, London. This conference, renowned for gathering industry leaders, government representatives, and stakeholders, serves as a vital platform to discuss the delivery of the UK’s ambitious housing targets and the creation of sustainable, vibrant communities.
In response to the government’s pledge to deliver 1.5 million homes within this Parliament, the conference will explore the largest housebuilding initiative since the post-war era. Central to these efforts is the development of new towns – communities designed not just to address the nation’s housing shortage, but also to provide economic and social benefits that will help “get Britain building again.”
The Building New Communities Conference aims to tackle key challenges and share innovative approaches to making these new developments truly sustainable. From integrating green spaces and infrastructure to fostering economic growth through job creation, these new communities are more than just housing projects – they are the foundation for a brighter future.
Throughout the day, attendees will delve into some of the most pressing issues facing modern urban development, including:
• Inclusivity: Ensuring a mix of tenures so communities remain accessible and diverse
• Funding and joint ventures: Exploring financial models that drive long-term success
• Community integration: Fusing existing neighbourhoods with new developments
• Town centre planning: Creating vibrant hubs that serve as the heart of new towns
• Transport and infrastructure: Developing efficient systems that connect residents to jobs, schools, and leisure activities
• Healthy town design: Incorporating layouts and amenities that promote well-being
• Environmental stewardship: Protecting wildlife habitats, managing flooding risks, and building resilient eco-friendly communities
• Care and maintenance: Ensuring ongoing management for thriving, well-kept neighbourhoods
• Industrial strategy: Supporting the local economy through smart workspace planning
• Future generations: Prioritising young people’s needs and fostering long-term stewardship
Phoenix will be showcasing their Sibson Garden Community project, a testament to their commitment to sustainable and high-quality development. This landmark project embodies the conference’s core themes: creating affordable homes, enriching local economies, and ensuring environmental sustainability. Visitors to the Phoenix exhibition stand will gain insights into how Sibson Garden Community is shaping the future of housing, while contributing to the broader goal of building new towns that deliver lasting value.
Whether you’re a local authority, a developer, or a planning professional, the Building New Communities Conference is an essential event. By bringing together industry experts, it provides a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge solutions, exchange ideas, and build partnerships that will drive the next generation of housing projects.
