A talk by Jane Clossick at Urban Design London in September 2017 arguing that part of London’s cultural ‘golden egg’ is industry.
Part of a series of sessions organised by Urban Design London, The Golden Goose 26th September 2017 included speakers arguing that redevelopment could result in the loss of some of London’s unique cultural assets. Jane Clossick argued that one of these cultural assets is industry.
Other speakers included: Mike Clewley, Greater London Authority; Emily Gee, Historic England; Patricia Brown, Centre for London; Deborah Saunt, DSDHA Architects; Duncan Bowie, Bartlett School of Planning; Jane Clossick, London Metropolitan University; Nicholas Boys-Smith, Create Streets and Vincent Goodstadt, Royal Town Planning Institute.
“Culture needs to be recognised for the significant value it brings to London’s economy. It is one of the key reasons people visit and move to London and is the golden thread that runs through our city fabric, contributing to our local economy and enhancing liveability in the city. It is important we give it the credit it deserves.”
