TALKS: Debate London

News of an interesting looking debate at the Tate Modern

London is furiously on the move. Powered by an economic boom, it is changing, growing, diversifying. New planning policies allow for enticing new possibilities: iconic skyscrapers, tens of thousands of new homes, transformation and re-generation. New-look London is sexy and glamorous. But will such a shiny vision make London better?

This summer The Architecture Foundation explores the issues at the very heart of what it means to be a Londoner today: Will the 2012 Olympics bring any good? Are we creating a London that's good enough for our kids? Can we turn the big smoke green?

The four debates, held in the Turbine Hall, with a youth debate for London school students, leave an important legacy of London now by posing pertinent questions and projecting exciting visions for its future. Join the debate and have your say at www.debatelondon.com
