The Working Village: The making of a radical entrepreneurial village

Thursday 14 March 2013 - 18:00 to 20:00
Architectural Association, 36 Bedford Square London

Venice Takeaway 'Live ThinkTank' Debate

For Venice Takeaway, Darryl Chen argued that audacious neighbourhood planning such as that witnessed in areas of cities in China, can spur an entrepreneur-led economic growth.

Against the backdrop of failing high streets and dying neighbourhoods, is there a radical way of putting planning in the service of the economy?

Could Localism be the genuine mechanism for growth as we were once promised and what might radicalism look like?

Live ThinkTank debate lead by:

  • Darryl Chen - Tomorrow's Thoughts Today with
  • Finn Williams - Common Office
  • Wouter Vanstiphout - Crimson Architectural Historians
  • Levent Kerimol - Design for London
