Urban Laboratory projects featured in The Bartlett Review

Featuring short reports to in-depth features and essays, The Bartlett Review explores the stories behind some of the groundbreaking thinking and research to have emerged from The Bartlett in 2016 - and its impact on the world.

Among the Urban Laboratory projects featured include Engaged Urbanism: Cities and Methodologies, the Urban Lab edited collection, published by I.B. Tauris at the end of 2016. Co-editor and Director of Urban Lab Dr Ben Campkin is interviewed on how the book can help us reimagine cities and think about urban challenges with fresh vigour (read: 'The power of unlikely connections').

Our LGBTQI nightlife infrastructure research project is highlighted (read: 'Night-time politics'), along with a review of the Urban Pamphleteer series, which has been published since 2013 (read: 'Three years of Urban Pamphleteer'). Urban Lab Leverhulme Artist-in-Residence Tom Wolseley shares details of his 'Shardology' project that takes in a 360-degree view of Western Europe's tallest building to consider the spectacle and dynamics of capital in cities (read: 'Shardology'). His film Vertical Horizons: Living With The Shard in The City was launched in January 2017 and a number of screenings will be scheduled across the year.

Dr Clare Melhuish (Urban Lab Co-director and Senior Research Associate) also pens an essay that draws on her university-led urban regeneration case studies, published at the end of 2015 (read: 'How universities can be better neighbours').

You can download a pdf version of the review on The Bartlett website, whilst all articles can also be read online.
