Recent IHIE Design and Management of the Public Realm course
students give us their views.

Students give the course a resounding thumbs up. The last course was fully
booked with representation from a wide cross section of professionals, including engineers, urban designers, landscape architects and planners, recognition of
the value of a course which places inter-disciplinary knowledge and
understanding at its core.

Fiona Wilkinson, Public Realm Project Coordinator at Leeds City Council said:
“The course is an excellent opportunity to network and engage with experienced,
management level professionals from a range of relevant disciplines and from both
public and private sectors. The process of sharing extensive subject knowledge and
learning from one another is very valuable.”

The residential course is held at the Barns Hotel in Bedford, affording students the
opportunity to get properly immersed in the subject matter and fellow practitioners.

Commenting on his first three days, Ryhan Thomson, engineer, West One consultancy,
“The course venue was excellent, with plenty of attractive space providing a quality environment for 3 days of thinking and exchanging ideas. The range of lecturers provided stimulation and variety and the group of students as a whole were committed and enthusiastic.”

The Professional Certificate in the Design and Management of the Public Realm covers
all the primary delivery systems, policies, techniques and design skills required to enable someone to successfully prepare practical designs for public realm interventions.

The PRIAN course in the Design & Management of the Public Realm
has been recognised by the Urban Design Group.

Founded in 1978 the Urban Design Group believes that urban design is not the job of any single profession. Making successful places depends on breaking down professional barriers and building collaborations between the people with the power to make things happen. By backing the course the UDG is actively supporting the training and development of professionals in the public realm arena.
