Thinkspace: Infrastructure, citizenship and urban culture

This panel will discuss urban infrastructure as part of the public sphere, and as an essential part of urban citizenship, from the angle of both 'hard' and 'social' infrastructures. Panellists will discuss the social infrastructures along the high street that enable global and local networks, how transport infrastructures are shaped by cultural conventions, and the infrastructures required for ensuring a thriving cultural life in the city.

Panel chair: Professor Henrietta L. Moore, Director of the Institute for Global Prosperity at UCL & Chair in Culture, Philosophy and Design

Speakers:

• Suzanne Hall - Associate Professor in Sociology, Director of the Cities Programme, London School of Economics, (LSE) 
• Irit Rogoff, Professor of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths University
• John Bingham-Hall, Charity, Theatrum Mundi

This event is a collaboration between IGP's Directors Seminar and Thinkspace.
