At Place North, we celebrate growing commitments to equality, inclusivity, diversity, and sustainability within the built environment
We seek to foster supportive communities at our events, where voices with different perspectives, backgrounds, and ideas are heard in a respectful environment.
We are pleased to hear the emphasis that MIPIM is now putting on these matters.
