The KPF Principal participated in the roundtable discussion at “Cities Forum: North American Cities – Investment Models and Partnerships.”
The online event brought London, Northern American cities, and the built environment community together to explore new investment models outside of traditional Central Activity Zones.
The event, chaired by Prof. Greg Clark CBE, featured presentations from Tom Wright, President of the Regional Plan Association of New York and New Jersey; Mary Rowe, President and CEO of Canadian Urban Institute; Shazia Hussain, CEO of London Legacy Development Corporation; followed by a discussion with Forth and Angie Jim Osman, Partner at Allies and Morrison.
Forth is a leading voice on the need for cities to embrace urban innovation and transform our highest density commercial environments into districts that accommodate the lives we all want to live – moving away from the idea of a single-purpose central business district to mixed-use central social districts.
The NLA Cities Programme fosters cross-city collaboration, enabling London to learn from other cities and offer its expertise in city-making to global leaders, developers, and investors.
