Is Cardiff Beautiful? - Workshops 1&2 (Grangetown)

Do you think beauty is important when it comes to your quality of life? Is beauty taken seriously where you live? Is your area beautiful? And what would make it beautiful? Join us at the Grange Pavilion to tell us what you think.

You are warmly invited to join two Cardiff University philosophers and Cardiff Civic Society in a two-part workshop to discuss how YOU envisage the future of Cardiff, its buildings, green spaces, and public areas.

The Cardiff Replacement Local Development Plan 2021-2036 is at the consultation stage. It will shape our city for over a decade to come, deciding what gets built and where. We would like your input.

Together, we will reflect on the issue of beauty where you live. Asking questions such as: It’s your city, your community – is it important to you that it’s a beautiful place to live? Do you see beauty in your surroundings as a matter of social justice? What does ‘good design’ mean to you?

What comes out of these sessions will be written up as a submission for the RLDP consultation.

Refreshments will be available, and we will reimburse you for your participation in the one-hour workshops with a £30 food voucher.

Workshop 1: Monday 3^rd June, Grange Pavilion (Grangetown) 19:00-20:00. In this first workshop we will explore what beauty means to you, and your feelings about Cardiff’s beauty.

Workshop 2: Monday 10^th June, Grange Pavilion (Grangetown) 19:00-20:00. In this second workshop we will bring together both Splott and Grangetown residents to share our findings in the earlier workshops, explore how you’ve been influenced by the discussions, and conclude with concrete suggestions for the RLDP.
