As
engines of growth and social integration, cities are
the magnets for more than half the world’s population.
“Understanding Cities” is a five-part public
debate addressing the complexities involved in designing
and running the powerhouses of today’s global
economy. This series will address the most provocative
ideas in city-making, including environmental responsibility
and climate change, social cohesion and the built form
of cities.
The debate about London’s future centres on the ability of
its transport system to handle millions of passengers daily. This event
assesses how transport shapes and is shaped by the city’s environmental
pressures and its quality of life.
Peter Hendy is Commissioner of Transport for London and Tony Travers is Director of the Greater London Group at LSE.
