This event is part of the Institute for Global Prosperity's Director's Seminars series and is co-organised with Thinkspace.

This panel will discuss the urban flows, both material and intangible, that make up London. In exploring the dynamic between financialisation and urban process, Caroline Knowles will highlight the global conduits running through the city supporting the lifestyles of the city’s über-wealthy inhabitants. Nick Tyler and Riccardo di Clemente will demonstrate how improved understandings of human behaviour, and the use of innovative data sources, can help in rethinking the city and its transport systems in more inclusive ways.

Panel chair: Paul Finch, Editorial Director, Architect's Journal

Speakers:

Caroline Knowles, Professor of Sociology, Goldsmiths, and Programme Director of the British Academy's Cities and Infrastructure Programme

Nick Tyler, Chadwick Professor of Civil Engineering, UCL

Riccardo di Clemente, Newton International Fellow of the Royal Society, Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, UCL
