NYLON: Innovation in New York and London

What is the impact of increasing innovation districts on the urban fabric of cities? Join a discussion between New York and London.

For decades, innovation districts were campuses outside the city, seen as independent ecosystems. In recent years, new models are emerging: these districts are now integrated into the urban fabric of our cities, bringing together universities, research, life-sciences, tech businesses, and cultural institutions.
 
These urban clusters are now at the heart of our cities, and are developing on an international scale. What is the impact of these innovation districts on the urban fabric of London and New York? 
 
The recently launched New London Architecture (NLA) report, "Innovation District: Designing Inclusive Places" presents best practices, key lessons, and ideas for creating inclusive innovation districts for built environment professionals. 
 
London and New York will take this opportunity to present their innovation districts projects. The live webinar will take place simultaneously in both cities (9:00 am in New York and 2:00 pm in London). This event is part of the New London Architecture City Dialogues program, which brings together speakers and audiences to foster cross-city dialogue and learning between cities.
