Retaining the spirit of place in post-conflict communities: lessons from Iraq and Libya

What does the future hold for Middle East’s and North Africa’s historic towns and cities? Conflict over the last 20 years, and particularly following the 2011 uprisings, has done huge harm to some towns. At the same time, others that are being ‘modernised’ are at risk of making similar errors to those made in Europe and North America in the twentieth century. Is another, better future possible?  Includes a private video tour of beautiful hilltop town of Amedi in Iraq

Webinar: Breathe Free - how can we clean the air in Britain’s towns and cities?

Increasingly people are realising that just because you cannot see pollution, it does not mean it is not there. The genie is out of the bottle. Air in British towns and cities is too polluted and this is killing people. How can we fix this whilst supporting economic prosperity? And how will the politics of clean air evolve in the years to come?
