The Old Town of Hastings has been crowned 'Best Neighbourhood in the UK and Ireland' at the 2016 Urbanism Awards by the Academy of Urbanism - voted on by it's members who include leading architects, planners and developers.



The judges were particularly impressed with "the way in which it has kept much of it's historic fabric and layout intact, yet managed to embrace contemporary additions that creatively respond to the townscape," singling out HAT's own Jerwood Gallery as a particular example and noteworthy of praise!

We are really pleased for the town to receive this recognition, having worked extensively with the community on the Stade Masterplan and Jerwood Gallery projects.
