Inclusive homes are created by recognising the many different ways people live. This session brings together leaders in planning, inclusive design, resident voice and LGBTQ+ youth advocacy to explore how housing can better support identity, safety, wellbeing and belonging. Through case studies and practical examples, the discussion will highlight what it takes to embed inclusion across planning, design, development and community governance. Participants will gain practical ideas to create homes and neighbourhoods that are accessible, inclusive, and genuinely reflect what residents need.
