‘Great Estates: Models for Modern Placemaking’ is a major new NLA publication on the planning, design and management of London’s Great Estates, revisiting the 2013 NLA pioneering homonymous research.
 
The long-term approach to regeneration and management allows London’s great estates to evolve, develop and reinvent themselves in response to changing demands and uncertain economic climates.  Exploring a few key projects of the 75 estates represented, what are the wider lessons of estate principles for city makers, both in the UK and overseas?
 
How can London’s historical and new estates support London’s recovery through the reconsideration of workspaces, culture and public spaces? How can the Great Estates work together to support a resilient London for all? The book and programme of events presents an update to the original NLA publication, bringing the discussion to contemporary debates around the future resilience of London.
 
The format, Pecha Kucha (ペチャクチャ), was devised in Tokyo in 2003 by the English architect Mark Dytham and has turned into a massive global celebration of design, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. The format makes presentations concise, keeps things moving at a rapid pace and holds its audience.
