Presenting to China at the TCPA

The Practice is delighted to have been asked to present to a group of visiting Chinese officials on Monday the 27th of October at the Town and Country Planning Association. The twenty Chinese delegates, largely from Guangzhou’s Zengcheng District, are local government officials working in the areas of water, planning, land resources and environmental bureaus.

The presentation will focus on the Practice’s specialist expertise of designing with water. BACA projects that will be discussed include:

‍

• The award-winning LifE Project (Long-term Initiatives for Flood risk Environments) for DEFRA.
