Landmark to address
delegates at Cities Convention, 22-23 April 2015,
Altitude London in Millbank Tower
As ‘City Growth
Sponsor’ of the forthcoming Cities Convention, Landmark Information Group will be delivering a talk that reviews the
role environmental due-diligence plays in supporting the growth of smarter,
sustainable cities and infrastructure.
The Cities Convention, which is CPD-event hosted by BRE,
invites delegates from local government, town planners, engineering firms,
architectural practices and building services organisations, to address and
debate a range of issues related to urban development and assesses ways in
which cities can become smarter, more efficient and ‘greener’ using smart
solutions, technology and data.
Chris Loaring, Commercial
Manager for Argyll Environmental – a Landmark Information Group company – will
be discussing the challenges of redeveloping brownfield sites. This will
include how to identify, analyse and resolve potential land issues, from
contaminated land and flood risk through to ground stability, to ensure
potential risks do not halt the planned growth of smart cities or related
infrastructure.
Comments Chris Loaring: “Managing environmental
risk in property portfolios, or land assets, is a real challenge, particularly
for established urban areas where new planning applications and development are
more likely to centre on brownfield sites.
At Landmark, we have access to the most comprehensive environmental and
property data in the UK, and as such, provide a range of risk assessment
services to help those involved in managing urban growth uncover any
environmental risks at the outset to appropriate steps, potentially leading to
remediation, can take place to facilitate development.”
Adds Amanda
Brackey, Head of Conference at BRE: “The aim of the Cities Convention is to
unlock solutions that are available today to help shape and form the cities of
the future. By bringing together a
diverse group of professionals, the event will help inform and provide examples
of innovation and best practice, which are geared towards making cities
smarter, more efficient and environmentally prosperous.”
As ‘City Growth
Sponsor’ of the Cities Convention conference, Landmark Information Group, which
is the UK’s leading supplier of digital mapping, property
and environmental risk information, will be available to meet delegates and
provide demonstrations of its environmental reporting, analysis and mapping
solutions, and to showcase the breadth of Landmark’s national land and property
‘big data’ datasets.
