Event Details

Welcome to the Launch of 'The Complete UrbanBuzz' which celebrates the ending of UCL's £7.75m* knowledge exchange programme in the field of building sustainable communities.  This event launches a comprehensive informative publication which will appeal to all practitioners, policymakers and academics with an interest in shaping the world we live in.

 

The event will feature headline keynote speakers (will be confirmed asap), brief presentations from selected projects, an exhibition comprising projects' outputs and other interested groupings.  Wrap all this up into a free cocktail reception and we've created a vibrant networking opportunity that mustn't  be missed!

We expect copies of 'The Complete UrbanBuzz' to be on sale at a special launch price - for one day only!
