Linking with the subjects covered in issue 127 of Urban Design, out group of experts will introduce their experiences of working in China, outlining their views on the role of masterplanning and urban design in Chinas modernising cities. The event will culminate in a panel discussion addressing the opportunities and challenges of this urban emergence.
