EG Question Time

Welcome to Question Time

The Estates Gazette Question Time road show is back. We’re rolling out new debates with a fresh crop of influential panellists in a series of events not to be missed. Everything from the Olympic legacy to airport capacity, international competitiveness and the national economy is up for debate.

Will political will clash with corporate aspiration? There’s only one way to find out.

The Estates Gazette Midlands Question Time event was a new and creative way of engaging with developers and the property profession. This open forum event with questions from the floor enabled the attendees and panel to gain insights into the key issues facing both the public and private sector.
This is a must attend event and one we hope will be back in Birmingham in 2012. 

Waheed Nazir, Director of planning and regeneration at Birmingham City Council
