New London Architecture

NYLON – Changing Face of Cities

Talk

Wednesday 18 November 2020
14:00 - 15:30

New York and London will come together in November 2020, following the USA elections, to have a conversation about the future of our cities and of city-making as we start to comprehend the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
The event forms part of the discussion around The Changing Face of London, which documents the past fifteen years of development in the UK’s capital, exploring the major sites of development and their impact. The research also looks ahead at the areas that are predicted to undergo huge transformation in the next fifteen years. 
 
London and New York will take this opportunity to reflect and share stories of the past decade, discussing the major moments that shaped their recent histories. We will also discuss our predictions for the next fifteen years as we contend with the radical shifts 2020 has brought about.
 
The live webinar will take place simultaneously in both cities at 09:00 in New York and 14:00 in London. This event forms a key part of the NLA City Dialogues programme, which brings together speakers and audiences to foster cross-city dialogue and learning between cities.
