LECTURES

On Wednesday 2 July there is a public debate, organised by Glasgow 1999 on Glasgow, Past Imperfect – Future Tense. The lecture will ask the question: does the city planning system push for quality and vision or pamper to mediocrity? The event will be chaired by Deyan Sudjic and speakers will include Piers Gough, partner at CZWG Architects, and Hildebrand Frey, director of urban studies at the University of Strathclyde.
