IHBC NW 2021 Virtual conference focuses on the importance of Collaboration within local Communities for delivering successful heritage projects. Conservation and Regeneration of town centres have faced many challenges over the recent years, and in addition to that, COVID19 has accelerated the decline of the high-street. The Power of Collaboration in Communities has proved to be a catalyst in transforming local places for the enjoyment of present and future generations. Communities have shown remarkable resilience and managed to overcome financial and other obstacles. This conference will provide an insight into inspiring heritage projects from the North West, and the neighbouring regions. It will conclude with a Virtual Tour of Tylzesley, in Wigan.

The conference will be of interest to conservation officers, planners, architects, developers, shop owners, local communities, and all those who care for their local towns and heritage.
