Can the Suburbs make a comeback?


Ahead of the agenda seminars (Forum of the Future)


The first of our seminars focused on the sustainability challenges facing the suburbs of the future, and asked:


-What needs to change from the old model of car-reliant, individualistic suburbs in an era where sustainability is paramount?


- What do the sustainable suburbs of the future look and feel like in terms of land-use, transport, architecture, density, community and politics?


-How can retailers contribute to the fabric of these communities without creating a country of clones?


Read the panel speakers opening remarks:
Sir Peter Hall - internationally renowned expert on urban planning and Bartlett Professor of Planning and Regeneration at the Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning, University College London
Chris Leslie – Director of the New Local Government Network and formerly a Government Minister
Lord Richard Rogers – one of the world’s foremost living architects
David North - Community and Government Director for Tesco
Chaired by Stephanie Draper - Deputy Director of Forum’s Business Programme

Se bl.a. Richard Rogers tale om hvordan forstæder kan blive bæredygtige.
