Abstract: These are important questions facing policymakers and practitioners.

Historically, cities are driven by the transportation of the times, the directions of trade, and the diversity within themselves. These drivers are still very relevant in the information age.

Join Dr Helen Bao as she presents cases from the UK and international markets to illustrate how these driving forces worked in the past, and how they are going to shape the landscape of urban development in the future.
