Green belts have been part of the UK planning system for more than 70 years, and are perhaps unique as an example of a social policy which is largely unchanged over that period. In this lecture - preceded by the Society's AGM - Professor John Sturzaker will explore the origins of green belts in the UK, and on Merseyside, trace their influence since their introduction, and consider how they might (need to) change in the future.
The Society’s AGM will be held in person at the Liverpool Athenaeum (Library Reading Room) on Wednesday 19 March, 2-4pm.
It will be followed at approximately 3pm by our March 2025 lecture given by Professor John Sturzaker FRTPI, Ebenezer Howard Professor of Planning at the University of Hertfordshire.
