The Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge is delighted to invite members of the public to attend this year's Sir Arthur Marshall Lecture by Visiting Professor Richard Sennett. Speaking of the lecture Richard has said:
'Next year sees the opening of Habitat III, the environmental congress held every twenty years by the United Nations. For this event, a manifesto is being prepared about the design of cities. It aims to replace the guidance given by Le Corbusier and others nearly a century ago, in document they called "The Charter of Athens." The new Charter of Athens addresses issues emerging in the 21st Century about environmental crises, the uses of technology and big data, and the challenge of social inclusion. The lecture serves as an introduction to this modest proposal.'
The lecture promises to be a milestone in contemporary urban thinking. To book a free place, click here
