A Sheffield icon and one last big challenge… 🌆💡 The final day of Sheffield Bootcamp kicked off with an exclusive tour of the iconic Park Hill, led by Urban Splash and the legendary Graham from the Residents’ Committee. His insight into the building’s past and present brought the space to life, and of course, we couldn’t leave without a group picture on the iconic ‘I Love You Bridge’! ❤️🏢 From there, we hit the streets of the Steel City with BDP (Building Design Partnership Ltd), diving into the exciting transformation of Sheffield Hallam University’s new sites. But the journey didn’t stop there! Arup, CBRE UK, BAM UK & Ireland, and Sheffield Hallam University joined the mix, giving students an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the teams and expertise driving these massive city-changing projects. Seeing first-hand how ideas become reality, they explored everything from cutting-edge design to real-world problem-solving in urban development. And for the grand finale? A high-stakes design challenge! Students reimagined a rooftop terrace for one of the new university buildings—bringing big ideas in accessibility, community, and sustainability to the table. Who knows? These bold visions might just shape the future! 🚀 From the projects we've explored, the Brainees we've met, and the promising future of the city, Sheffield has truly delivered. The energy, ambition, and creativity on display have been nothing short of inspiring - Sheffield, it has been so good to be back! 🔥 #SheffieldBootcamp #UrbanFuture #RegenerationBrainery #NextGenDesign

Then, Urbana led a session on planning applications, using Cannon Brewery as a case study. From ecology surveys to flood risks and transport access, students had to prioritise key assessments to ensure a smooth planning process. To top it off, the Regen B team delivered a masterclass on securing apprenticeships, followed up with top tips and tricks for using LinkedIn to build connections and create a better future. 💼✨ Day 4 takes us to one of Sheffield’s most famous locations … and a challenge like no other! 🔥🏙️ #SheffieldBootcamp #RegenerationInAction #FutureLeaders
