London: The World’s Greatest Unplanned City
Professor Peter Rees, CBE
As City Planning Officer for the City of London, Peter led the planning and regeneration of this world business and financial centre from 1985 to 2014. He lectures internationally; advises developers and cities around the world on urban planning and design; and makes frequent media appearances on these topics. In 2015 he was created a CBE in the New Year Honours List.
'London has little appetite for planning. Apart from the interventions of the landed gentry and Victorian engineers, planning left London with the Romans. As a Londoner, I relish this untrammeled landscape of change; as the City's Chief Planner for nearly 3 decades, I’m not so sure. After the "Great Fire", the "Blitz" and the "Big Bang” the City re-emerged stronger, without a plan. Can it survive the current tidal wave of loose global capital and an uncontrolled boom in residential property for investment?'
The Bartlett School of Planning Lecture Series is supported by Capita’s property and infrastructure business, a leading multidisciplinary consultancy that provides real estate, design, project delivery, infrastructure, and business transformation services.
