Designing happy cities

From the library or local museum, to urban planning on a city scale, this discussion will ask how purposeful design of the places we live and spend our lives can promote civic engagement and reclaim our cities and towns for the benefit of those live there.

Speakers:
Dr Audrey De Nazelle, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial College London
Dr Rory Hyde, Curator of Contemporary Architecture and Urbanism, V&A
Dr Tarsha Finney, Programme Leader, City Design, Royal College of Art
