Post Covid Shopping: Retail Reloaded

Laurie Chetwood will be looking at how the current challenges facing the High Street are an opportunity for designers to participate in repurposing redundant town and city centres. He will discuss how not only high street buildings, but also urban infrastructure systems are being repurposed. Logistics is no longer just a big box on the side of the motorway keeping the rain off stored goods but is evolving into urban logistics: an integral part of a repurposed urban supply chain, and the driving force behind the new social and community-focused experiential retail.
