4x4 Making Places takes place over four consecutive weeks in March. It is a unique event that brings together professionals across the build environment. Designers, urbanistis, academics, developers, engineers, commentators, members of the public, artists, administrators, politicians and students from across the region, all attend for a series of presentations and debate.

4x4 is open to everyone and is free to attend.

This year, 4x4 investigates and debates numbers – size, proportion, cost, value, efficiency, turnover, time - as the hidden force behind placemaking. From escape distances to the size of economies, the numbers must work.

Speakers include Professors Wulf Daseking from Freiberg and Par Gustafsson from Lund, Dublin City Planner Dick Gleeson alongside UK experts and practitioners from Renzo Piano and Proctor and Matthews.

Now in its eleventh year, 4x4 Making Places brings people together to learn and debate placemaking. Each of the four weekly events features four speakers who give 15 minute presentations followed by a debate with the audience.
