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.
