Please join us to celebrate The Endless City: The Urban Age Project by the London School of Economics and Deutsche Bank's Alfred Herrhausen Society, Co-Edited by Ricky Burdett and Deyan Sudjic, and published by Phaidon Press.
The city is the subject of the 21st century. All over the world, populations are shifting towards urban centres. The Endless City details an authoritative survey of cities now and the prospects for our urban future. 34 contributors from across Europe, South America, China, Africa and the U.S. set the agenda for the city - detailing its successes as well as its failures.
Richard Burdett, Director of the Urban Age Programme and Centennial Professor in Architecture and Urbanism at the London School of Economics, is chief adviser on architecture and urbanism for the London 2012 Olympics. Richard Sennett is Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics and author of The Craftsman (Allen Lane, 2008).
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come, first served basis.
