What is a Glass-House Debate? Glass-House Debates explore a theme related to the design of the built environment and community participation. This year we will be focusing on the impact a new community building has on the local neighbourhood versus a re-furbished one, and the implications this can have on social trends, the environment and economical factors. We can confirm that we will be holding the debates in: Edinburgh, 21 October 2010 Cardiff, 25 November 2010 Newcastle, 22 February 2011 London, 15 March 2011 For more information on this year's exciting debate series visit our dedicated The sustainable community building: refurbishment v new build page   If you missed our previous Duty to Involve debate series or want more information on the key themes that were raised visit our dedicated Duty to Involve page
