The Developer informs and connects professionals working in the development and design of urban spaces through our media platform and live at the Festival of Place, bringing professionals together to define what makes a place worth living in; cities where people thrive.

We connect developers, architects, the public sector, tech industry and the wider project team through inspiring events and media channels.

It’s about how to build communities that thrive, where people want to live, work, play and learn.

The Developer is the brainchild of Christine Murray, former Editor-in-Chief of the Architects’ Journal and The Architectural Review, working in partnership with former colleague James Macleod, now Portfolio Director. It is backed by Ocean Media Group, publishers of Inside Housing and Social Housing.
