The Developer is the brainchild of its Editor-in-Chief Christine Murray, former editor of the Architects’ Journal and The Architectural Review, working in partnership with former colleague James Macleod, its Director. The Developer and the Festival of Place are about how to build communities that thrive, where people want to live, work, play and learn. We bring together developers, investors, local government, architects, urban designers and the wider project and placemaking team through inspiring events and media channels. We give free and subsidised tickets away to charities, community groups and those who need them. If you’re interested in contributing, please contact Editor-in-chief Christine Murray at christine@thedeveloper.live If you would like to connect with our audience through our events and publications online and in print, contact Director James Macleod at james@thedeveloper.live
