The third instalment of our Fight Club saw experts in the planning system pitch their vision for addressing social inequalities in the built environment whilst simultaneously addressing the climate crisis.

Featuring five speakers from across planning, place making, urban renewal, estate wide regeneration and heritage led activism, the debate was provocative and in parts argumentative.

An audience of over 70 guests represented a broad cross section of society, and the speaker's pitches were followed by an engaged debate from multiple voices in the room. Many topics were debated, with opinions voiced and challenged in equal measure. 

These events encourage views to be aired honestly, with emotion + passion, raw + uncut, unedited + without rehearsal. The invited speakers dispense their daily personas typically confined by etiquette, instead releasing their inner selves to amazing effect.

Our thanks to everyone involved in the event, and particularly to all the speakers who rose to our challenge:

Sarah Cary, London Borough of Enfield

Joseph Henry, Sound Advice

Ed Jarvis, London Borough of Camden

Louise Newman, Tavenor Consultants

Jennifer Ross, Tibbalds
