Purpose of the day
Explore green infrastructure design solutions to see how these can help resolve contemporary urban issues.
The three big questions..
1. How do we accommodate 200-250 million additional Crossrail passenger journeys and improve wider connectivity
2. How do we maintain the West Ends position as a world class business, leisure and retail destination
3. How can we design in green infrastructure to help solve issues the West End faces particularly through the public realm
