Oslo Meets Hackney

10:00-12:00 Hackney (BST) time
11:00-13:00 Oslo (CET) time

Thursday 3rd December. Let's explore the 15 minute city concept: on how cities have adapted and will evolve further to suit neighbourhood-based life, as people look to connect with their local areas in a more meaningful way.

The world has changed in 2020 and this event will capture what we have learnt, how we can build back better in terms of sustainability and inclusivity and what long term trends have been set in motion and accelerated.

We’ll hear from thought leaders in city administrations, startups, social enterprises, cultural organisations, evening economy and across industry.
