Catherine Dewar will be taking part in the 'Where Will the City Edges Be?' panel at the Quality of Life: Remaking the post-industrial city day conference in Manchester on Friday 4 October 2024
Speaker profile:
Catherine has worked in the heritage sector for 28 years, starting out in local government on the south coast and midlands before moving back home to Newcastle to work for English Heritage. She worked across the North East (with a brief stint in Yorkshire) before moving down to Manchester to take up the post of Regional Director for Historic England’s North West team. In 2022, she stepped away for a year from the regional role, leading a programme to help the organisation and sector partners to adapt to a changing climate. Catherine is now back as Regional Director North West, bringing that climate change experience to the team’s work.
Catherine is an urban planner by training and in heart… passionate about making places that not only work but that also bring people joy.
