Thursday 21st of January 5pm - 6:30pm (GMT) via zoom.
Chairs: Monica Degen, Brunel University London, and Loretta Lees, University of Leicester
In this first Urban Salon since covid hit we consider the post-covid future of cities in London and beyond, critically evaluating Florida’s proclamation by zooming in on 3 themes – urban public space, tourism, and young people.
We have invited four speakers from across the academic and urban professional sector to respond to the Florida proclamations from their research expertise and share with us their thoughts and hopes for the future of cities.
Once you subscribe to the event a zoom link will be sent in advance on the day.
