UCL Urban Laboratory Open House

Established in 2005, Urban Lab are a world-leading centre for cross-disciplinary urban research, teaching and impact. They investigate, propose, and disseminate critical solutions to a wide range of social, physical and technological urban and built environment issues, with a focus on the grand challenges of our time. 

Over a drinks reception they will present a number of their recent projects with the staff and students involved in our activities, alongside a chance to pick up some of their publications and to meet students from other urban courses at the university.

The event will also act as a launch for two new Urban Laboratory projects:

Counterspeculations audio-visual tour

Power to the Citizen!

A manifesto for the public authoring of our cities, identifing new collaborative mechanisms for citizen-led digital city making. Produced by Dr Claire McAndrew (Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL) in collaboration with the UCL Urban Laboratory and UCL Engineering Exchange.
