Organisers' description :

Can London cope with its future growth? Is it really Europe's only global city? What is the impact of massive regeneration projects?

These are some of the questions that civic leaders, city-builders, architects and academics from around the world asked when they meet in London from 11 to 13 November 2005. The Mayors of Washington DC, Sao Paulo, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Edinburgh joined world-renowned urbanists Richard Rogers, Rem Koolhaas and Saskia Sassen to debate the future of a city facing momentous growth.
 
Core themes included how quality of life can be maintained by promoting health; and city environments that work for people of different generations and incomes.

To better understand the social impacts of current trends in London’s labour markets, housing, transport and public life, the Urban Age conference investigated the following key projects in North, South, West and East London:

1. The redevelopment of White City and the formation of a knowledge-based economic cluster in West London
2. The transformation of King’s Cross
3. The Olympic Village and its legacy in the development of affordable housing in diverse and attractive neighbourhoods in the Lower Lea Valley in East London
4. The regeneration of Elephant & Castle and the reintegration of residential communities to the city centre in South London
