24 January | Building Knowledge
Architect Anupama Kundoo will present her work while discussing the potential of architecture to engage with, and address the complex intersections of urbanisation, people, technologies, resources and environment within the context of growing affordability issues, not only in money terms. Her practice, the result of her quest for knowledge to build appropriately, also considers every project as an opportunity to build knowledge and build community in order to empower people in the process of achieving affordable built spaces. The talk will be followed by a discussion chaired by Ricky Burdett, with Shumi Bose, Senior Lecturer co-ordinating Contextual Studies for BA Architecture at Central Saint Martins,  as respondent.

31 January | The Quito Papers: Towards the open city (London)

25 February | London: Bike city? LSE Literary Festival discussion
Discussion of the LSE Cities Literary Festival series hosted by LSE Cities and LSE Sustainability Team

All over the country, cycling is growing fast as a spectator sport and pastime. In London, it is also booming as a transport choice, spurred on by packed tubes and shiny new cycle lanes. What’s the appeal? Physical thrill? Mindful flow? Simple practicality? Nonconformity? Our panel consider why cycling got this big and what its future is in London. Can it get too popular and are we headed for civil war on the roads? What would we need to make London a cycling utopia?
