Overview: London Planning Seminars

London Planning Seminars

The Bartlett School of Planning undertakes a wide range of work of direct relevance to London’s planners, whether they are in the public or private sector, in central, regional or local government. To foster links with the broader London planning community, the Bartlett School of Planning runs a series of London Planning Seminars each year.  We hope that you will come along, meet the Bartlett School of Planning staff and students as well as other fellow planners, and join in the debate on current issues. The London Planning Seminar series is convened by Professor Mike Raco.

London Planning Seminars are usually held at 17.30 in room 517 (5th floor), Bartlett School of Planning, UCL, Wates House, 22 Gordon Street, London WC1H 0QB. Map

All are welcome and participation is free
