To inaugurate the 2004 Seminar Series, UK-Japan Cities of the Future: Regeneration and Urban Life, two major urban regeneration projects currently underway in London and Osaka were discussed. Roger Madelin focused on the King’s Cross project in London, and Peter Carl and David Height discussed the planned redevelopment of the northern Osaka Station area.
The seminar was followed by a private view of Osaka Urban Metabolism, an exhibition of Japan-based project work of the Department of Architecture, University of Cambridge.
