On 20th July, Space Syntax will hold the third event in our current series, “The Urban Imperative: improve, extend, create”. These invited talks explore how three interrelated choices, to improve, extend or create cities, can play out and interact in different contexts around the world.

The third event will explore how we can successfully create new places and explore the dynamics of urban transformation. What are the challenges traditionally associated with the creation of entirely new urban settlements and how are the risks of “the new” perceived in different places around the world?
