    Live Finale: From New York to Camden The High Line Effect

    For our live finale event, we hosted a fascinating debate with Christoph Lindner, Dean of The Bartlett and editor of Deconstructing the High Line: Postindustrial Urbanism and the Rise of the Elevated Park; Simon Pitkeathley, CEO of Camden Town Unlimited and the Camden Highline; and Jodie Eastwood, CEO of London’s Knowledge Quarter, who explore how the New York ‘High Line effect’ might shape the future of Camden. Using the learnings from the New York High Line, they discuss the impact this famous park has had on the city and people of New York, and ask whether tourism, gentrification and investment can or will benefit the local community.

How can we continue to attract and retain talent in an era of virtual working, and how will increasing digitisation augment learning and social justice?

    Is London truly a Smart City?

    This week’s episode is all about Smart Cities – but what does that mean in reality? We are living and working in a city where technology is becoming increasingly embedded into the fabric of London. But is this technological freedom improving our lives or is consumer exploitation enslaving us? Should we be resisting or embracing urban technology? Join the discussion with special guests Dr Sarah Wise and Prof Duncan Wilson from the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at The Bartlett, UCL's Faculty of the Built Environment, and Kulveer Ranger, UCL alumnus and an expert in digital transformation, and Senior Vice President of Strategy Communications for Atos UK&I.
