Peter Rees, the Professor of Places & City Planning at University College London, directed the transformation of the City of London from 1985-2014. He has described his planning strategy for “the square mile” as “a group of beehives on a compost heap”.

Peter will lead a discussion on the pros and cons of high-rise developments and how quality spaces can do more to improve urban economic strength than a cluster of towers.

Join us for a lively breakfast discussion and enjoy some networking with your fellow
BCO members after the seminar.
