ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ London annually holds a series of seminars in the Lent term (January-March). The seminar looks at various aspects of London. Previous seminars have looked at topics such as key-worker housing, congestion charging and the London Plan.

The core audience for the seminar includes the students of various urban programmes.  The aim of the seminars is to show how the ideas that the students deal with in theory play out in practice, especially in the London context. Research students and relevant academic staff are invited. Researchers and those working in policy across London are also invited.

London Talks 

London is experiencing important changes: the new London Plan, Brexit, the housing crisis, the proliferation of short-term letting and climate change. Many of these issues are not local to London or to the United Kingdom.  Cities across the world are experiencing pressure from increasing house prices, marked increases in short-term letting and the spectre of climate change.

Our new seminar series London Talks creates a space to exchange knowledge on these changes linking them to ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳’s research. In so doing, we aim to create partnerships with significant London stakeholders and show how research and practice in London link to cities across the world.
