Localism and the Power of the Everyday

Working at a local level is firmly on the agenda for the new government. Empowering people to make local decisions and encouraging activity from the grassroots is driving democratic reorganisation and economic policy. How might the same approach shape architecture and how we define places? Join an evening seminar looking at how localism currently manifests itself in our everyday landscapes and how it may do so in future. With contributions from Jonathan Glancey, architectural critic at The Guardian, Vincent Lacovara at the AOC and Paul Murrain, architect and Professor at the University of Greenwich.
