What is urban age?

Urban Age’s principal aim is to shape the thinking and practice of urban leaders and sustainable urban development. Initiated by the Cities Programme at the London School of Economics and Political Science and Deutsche Bank’s Alfred Herrhausen Society, Urban Age is structured around international and multidisciplinary events and research supporting the creation of a new urban agenda for global cities. The Urban Age agenda links the physical to the economic, environmental and social, providing urbanists with the tools to apply, tailor and refine innovation.
