RIAS BookshopLATE...How to Build a City with Gabriella Bennett

Join us for the next RIAS BookshopLATE talk as we welcome acclaimed author and journalist Gabriella Bennett to discuss her new book, How to Build a City.

Gabriella Bennett takes readers on a globe-trotting journey to learn how we are reimagining home to embrace the challenges of contemporary living. From political instability to wildfires, flooding and an increased pressure on materials and space, the built environment is under threat like never before. It must change - and it is. We'll travel to the frontier cities of this urban revolution and discover how people are transforming their communities in surprising ways.

Chaired by Libby Heathcote, RIAS President, come along to hear Gabriella discuss the ideas behind the book, share stories from her research, and explore what the future of our cities might look like.

Tickets: £3 (FREE for RIAS Members)
