Greg Clark in conversation with Miquel Molina

The 21st century is set to be the century of cities. It is estimated that by 2080 some 10 billion people will live in just 10,000 cities. Cities are the natural environment for innovation and progress. However, cities are also the victims of new threats to the global world. They are the ones most affected by the climate emergency, but also by the growing social inequalities that are shaking up long-established models of urban coexistence. Few people are better placed to talk about the crises and opportunities of urban development, giving us concrete examples, than Greg Clark, urban planner and writer who has advised on the development of more than 300 cities. He is the author of books such as Global Cities. A Short History, and The Innovation Economy: Implications and Imperatives for States and Regions. Clark will be in conversation with Miquel Molina, deputy editor of La Vanguardia, novelist and essayist, who authors a weekly opinion column on cities and culture.

The event is presented by Nuria Canivell, an architect at the Román & Canivell studio, of which she was founder 30 years ago, and is currently dean of the College of Architects of Seville.

There will be a reception at 18:30. The event will start afterwards.

Event in English with simultaneous translation into Spanish.
