Amy's Festival picks : Empowering everyone to be part of building London's future
“The Festival offers a moment to reflect on what makes London such a great city, but also to dig deeper into what we can do to make it better. In line with this year’s Voices theme, I want everyone – architect or otherwise – to feel part of that conversation. That was the inspiration behind the event I’m cohosting, The Ideal City, and my other top picks from the programme. These are opportunities to share our varied ideas and experiences, learn from each other and look optimistically towards the future.”
