Throwback to Summer 2021 when we chatted with lots of people in Bournemouth Library.
We challenged visitors to think about what is most important for the future of the town centre.
We’ve been able to find patterns in preferences and priorities. These findings will be shared in our new book that will be launched in Spring 2022.
What do you think is important for the future of our town centres?

If you’re jumping in at this stage of our journey, you might be wondering who is behind the Future Lab. Well, let us introduce the team:

R3 – A group of local leisure and hospitality organisations who are collaborating to create a brighter future for the conurbation.

Feria Urbanism - a local urban design consultancy who will develop and design a strategy to reimagine the three towns.

You! – None of this work could have been possible without contributions from all areas of our community. From businesses to schools, every input has played a significant role.

Hello! We’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, but we’ve been working hard behind the scenes and are planning a dynamic event for March 2022. Before we share the details of what’s to come, we thought we’d do a little recap of what we’re about and what we’ve achieved so far…
- BCP Future Lab is a collaborative design project to re-imagine Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole town centres.
- We kicked off the project in June 2021 and have already had over 500 conversations across the local community.
- We’ve held workshops, chatted to people in the street and observed how our public spaces are currently used (or unused!)
- Hearing about your views, ideas and experiences so far have shaped our key design principles which will inform how we translate our concepts into real and practical solutions.

BCP Futurelab working at AUB on BA Design finding out what students value in the town centre experience and sharing ideas. See their work at Bournemouth library foyer next week.... More to follow
