UEL Seminar Series
Beyond ‘2012’: the Olympics and the regeneration of East London
UEL is holding a series of seminars to explore the transformation of East
London beyond 2012. The aim of the seminars is to create a knowledge platform
that may inform the longer term social, economic and cultural development of
the area. The seminars will discuss and debate the issues arising in the
shaping of place in one of the world’s leading global cities.
The seminars address a series of questions, including: Does East London have
any broader, longer term plans to maximise the Olympic contribution to the
city’s expansion eastwards? What else is happening, or should be happening,
to deliver the better quality of life to local residents? Who is responsible
for drawing up and managing such a plan? What roles should the public and
private sectors and international investors play in the expansion of the city
eastwards?
We would like to invite you to the first seminar of the series.

examines long term strategies for urban change, including analysing the role
of public institutions and private enterprise in its creation and delivery.
