Welcome to Shaping Place

Shaping Place is your space for conversations about creative writing and urban development. Here are some of our aims in setting it up:

- To provide a contained online space for interested people to discuss issues, share best practice, and test out ideas relating to how writers and urban design professionals can work together.

- To create a space for writers and urban design professionals to profile their work and interests.

- To enable people to get in touch with each other to take forward individual projects and conversations.

Please set up a profile page so other members can find out more about you, take part in the discussions, and add any relevant events you are involved with.

Creating enterprising places
