2011 Seminar Series
Implementing Metropolitan Projects
This seminar is about major urban projects that are implemented, rather than planned. The word vision was initially entertained, but so few visions in the eyes of politicians and planners turn into recognisable realities that we settled for something more mundane, but concrete, like projects. Our speakers provide a striking variety of examples from their own considerable experience.
