Provisional programme:

  • Welcome
  • Nature-Inspired Urbanism: A short presentation by Stephen Marshall, on our project interpreting self-organisation and other nature-inspired processes in urban design
  • Calibrating biological credibility and utility (Workshop session) – interactive discussions exploring analogues between biology and urbanism at different scales
    • which do biologists find convincing?
    • which do planners/designers find useful?
  • Why could Biology be useful for Urbanism? (a biologist’s perspective) A short presentation by Dr Claire Narraway
  • Mapping the analogies (Workshop session) – We will present some ‘knowledge mapping’ for discussion/ calibration/feedback
  • Reflections on prospects for future research and applications – A short presentation by Stephen Marshall and Claire Narraway.

The workshop should be a chance to

  • learn about our latest research in this area
  • engage with inter-disciplinary challenges (biology <> built environment)
  • network with a diversity of other participants

The workshop will take place at 5pm, in Central House, 14 Upper Woburn Place, London WC1H 0NN.

The workshop is free to attend but places are limited.
