An Inclusive Future for North Cambridge
Cambridge Room Research invites residents in North Cambridge and beyond to get involved in shaping a more inclusive future for the area. Through talks, a walking tour, and creative workshops, the programme brings together local history and lived experience to reimagine North Cambridge.
The events focus on the areas around Cambridge Business Park and are open to all. The programme is a collaboration between Cambridge Room Research and Cambridge Junction, in partnership with Cambridge Business Park and The Crown Estate.
01. Talk
Let's Talk About the (Urban) History of North Cambridge
On 23 April, local historian Antony Carpen (Cambridge Town Owl & Lost Cambridge) led a talk and map workshop exploring the history of residential growth in the council wards of North Cambridge and the issues arising from it.
If you missed the talk, you can watch the recorded sessions on the right.

02. Walk
Join artist Dauda Ladejobi to explore the urban space in the council wards of North Cambridge. This tour will start outside Brown’s Field Community Centre and will last less than one hour.
The route will be relaxed and we will do our best to accommodate access needs. If you have specific requirements, please let us know in advance so we can support you. All are welcome.
03. Co-Making
Join artists Steve Lawes and Dauda Ladejobi to make collage and lino cuts focused on the history, present and future of North Cambridge: making mixed media artworks that bring together images, memories and stories from modern, medieval and ancient Cambridge.
The artworks made in this session will become part of a zine bringing together local opinions and ideas on the future of North Cambridge.
Location: The Cambridge Room
