UCL supports launch of Future Cities Forum

We were delighted that UCL's architecture school, The Bartlett, supported our inaugural Future Cities Forum at RIBA, when Professor Rees joined us to discuss the issue of 'tall buildings' being built in London.

Professor Peter Rees was responsible for overseeing the creation of our City of London skyline during his planning career, with iconic buildings being erected such as The Gherkin and The Walkie Talkie.

The Bartlett is the most knowned and well known of architecture schools in the UK and the training ground for many of our most gifted designers.

Professor Rees praised the planning of our event and was joined by architects, planners and councils in enjoying debating the issue around the design of our future cities.
