Creating social value through the built environment
In this episode of Around the Table, hosted by Natalie Daniels, Sustainability PR Director from Building Relations PR, we delve into the concept of creating social value through the built environment. Our expert panel—Nathan Spencer, Managing Director at UKREiiF; Joanna Dahlgren, Head of Social Value & SROI at London Borough of Waltham Forest; and Danielle Buckley, Regional Social Value Manager at Wates Group—discuss how developers, planners, and policymakers are embedding social value into their projects. The conversation focuses on the tangible impact of these initiatives beyond just numbers, emphasising long-term legacy, community collaboration, and the role of local expertise. The panel also highlights the challenges and opportunities of creating social value, such as the need for standardisation, better collaboration, and removing barriers like postcode restrictions that limit impactful partnerships.
