Seen and Heard Workshop Brent 2020, London Borough of Culture © Brent Council
As one of the most diverse and culturally rich boroughs in London, Brent is a dynamic and engaging place, with much to be proud of and celebrate. The Council has adopted a design-led approach to address the increasing challenges posed by climate change, the housing crisis and need for strategic infrastructure.
The Council’s aim is to create a more equal and affordable borough, delivering sustainable places that people are proud to live in and maximising access to good quality housing, employment, education and culture. The Quality Review Panel was set up in 2022 to support these aims.
The Community Review Panel plays an important role in furthering the council’s commitment to securing high-quality design, which complements and celebrates Brent’s diversity, heritage and culture. The panel has a vital role in ensuring that growth in the local area delivers benefits for all and serves the needs of people living, working and regularly visiting the area.
The panel is chaired by Daisy Froud, a consultant and strategist specialising in brief-development and participatory design.
