The first in our series of mini-lectures on Cities. Tim is going back to the Roman times to explore what what we have learnt and gained from the Romans! How have Cities changed through time - in terms of urban planning and design? Have we learnt the lessons of the past - and, are we really doing things differently?
What did ‘good design’ mean for the Romans? What does it mean today? Simply functional or delivering a more meaningful contribution to community and culture?
Tim will explore the key areas of: walkability, streets, public space, and mixed-use planning. Patricia Brown, expert in the dynamics of Cities and achieving positive change, will respond with her take on what the Romans did for us. Then we will take questions from the audience.
* Please note that this is a re-play of an event held last year and you will not be able to ask questions. However, you can comment in chat and message others on our virtual platform. We hope that you enjoy this event !

Central
Patricia runs Central, a niche consultancy advising civic and business leaders on urban change. She has over 25 years of direct experience thinking about, influencing and improving London, and at the heart of many of the initiatives that have been part of the city’s successful evolution.
In the mid 1990s she worked alongside real estate guru Honor Chapman in helping to establish London’s first inward investment body, promoting London as a premier business destination. She became CEO of the Central London Partnership in 1997, leading a cross-sector partnership and agenda set on maintaining the capital’s position as a global world city. At CLP, she led much of the early work to achieve this sustained success through ensuring it was a city that people wanted to be in; a people-focused, liveable city, with improved quality of life and built environment.
