Richard Sennett, one of the world’s leading thinkers about the urban environment, sets out a bold and original vision for the future of cities in his latest book Building and Dwelling. He’ll join us to explore how cities are built, and how people live in them, from ancient Athens to twenty-first-century Shanghai.
 
Sennett will be in conversation with Iain Sinclair, whose forthcoming Living With Buildings explores the relationship between art, architecture, social planning and health.
