NY-LON: Historic Preservation and City Renewal


October 25, 2013
8:30 – 10:30AM
Kohn Pedersen Fox
11 West 42nd Street, New York


The continual renewal of London and New York’s skyline, architecture, and city planning have contributed to their status as two of the most dynamic cities in the world, able to quickly adapt to changing economic, environmental and social circumstances.

But with recent debates around the redevelopment of historic assets, including Smithfield Market and the Southbank Centre in London and the East Midtown rezoning in New York, how can both cities achieve the right balance between historic preservation and city renewal?

This special seminar is the fourth in an NLA series supported by KPF, and in association with the Forum for Urban Design, and takes place simultaneously in New York and London to share knowledge and explore the key issues facing the built environment in both cities.

Breakfast will be served at 8:30AM, with the seminar beginning promptly at 9:00AM. This live video seminar is taking place simultaneously in New York and London so that audiences from both cities will be able to participate in the debate.
