A conversation with city planners and administrators from four landmark cities: L.A., London, Mexico City and Shanghai.
As the world moves toward a global urbanism and centers issues of sustainability and international collaboration, cities are not so much planned as re-planned and reborn.
Scott Lash, director of the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London, will moderate this discussion of the present and future of urban planning and the shaping of iconic, livable cities. The event will feature Gail Goldberg, director of the Los Angeles City Planning Department; Felipe Leal, secretary of urban development and housing of the federal district of Mexico City; Jiang Wu, former deputy director general of the Shanghai Municipal Urban Planning Administration Bureau; and Richard Cohen, head of Planning and Strategy at the London Development Agency.
From the density of London to the sprawl of Los Angeles and the expanding megacities of Mexico City and Shanghai, the juxtapositions of cultural, political and spatial differences will demonstrate how creative agents can transform a city physically and socially.
