MIPIM | Building the North: Unlocking the power of partnership

At this Place North panel session, local authorities and developers highlighted the ability of small and medium businesses to innovate, build community support, and deliver projects that respond directly to local needs.

This panel session hosted by Place North explored how from offshore wind farms and tidal power to advanced manufacturing and AI infrastructure, the North of England is positioning itself as one of the UK’s most important energy and technology powerhouses. 

The UK faces a two‑sided housing crisis: locations unviable for developers, rising costs squeezing out homebuyers. The urban fringe could hold the answer.

At a panel event hosted by Place North and sponsored by Trowers & Hamlins and Studio Hoodless, leading figures from the development industry in both nations came together to discuss how they are working to deliver on bold visions and create new kinds of cities.

Representatives from top investment firms, local authorities, and developers gathered to do business at MIPIM’s UK Stage on Tuesday morning.

Developers, local authorities, contractors, lawyers, financiers, architects, engineers, and more gathered together at Gare Maritime in Cannes on Monday evening to celebrate the start of the global property convention.

Why is it so difficult to get to grips with regeneration, and what is ‘good growth’? This interactive session held by Studio Hoodless, Civic, and Layer Studio brought the industry together to brainstorm how they can be delivered effectively across the North of England and beyond.
