Event Recording
If the last three years of fire, plague and flood have taught us anything, the future will require us to respond to extreme events in our cities with increasing frequency. What role does the design of the physical and social infrastructure of our cities play in helping us respond? In this discussion we will hear from designers, artists and councils as they paint a picture of a responsive, citizen-led, altruistic future that enables us to respond to these disasters.
This event has been co-organised with Urban Design Forum
