Kent School of Architecture and Planning are pleased to announce the first Open Lecture of the academic year will be given by CJ Lim, titled, ‘Smartcities, Resilient Landscapes and Eco-Warriors’ on Tuesday 24th September at 6pm in Marlowe Lecture Theatre 1.<\/p>\n

The book represents a crucial voice in the discourse of climate change and the potential opportunities to improve the ecological function of existing habitats or create new landscapes which are considered beneficial to local ecology and resilience. The notion of the Smartcity is developed through a series of international case studies, some commissioned by government organisations, others speculative and polemic.\u00a0Following on from the success of the first edition \u2018Smartcities + Eco-Warriors\u2019 (2010), this second edition has nine new case studies, and additional ecological sustainability studies covering sensitivity, design criteria, and assessments for ecological construction plans.\u00a0The book concludes with two new essays on the romance of trees and the empowering nature of resilient landscape.<\/p>\n

CJ Lim\u00a0is the Professor of Architecture and Urbanism at The Bartlett UCL, and\u00a0director of Studio 8 Architects. His research is in urban design\/planning and architecture,\u00a0focusing on issues of resilience, sustainability and the challenges posed through climate change, population growth, socio-economics, and the reciprocal benefits of simultaneously addressing the threat and the shaping of cities.\u00a0CJ has authored 10 books including \u2018Virtually Venice\u2019 (2006), \u2018Short Stories \u2013 London in two-and-a-half dimensions\u2019 (2011), \u2018Food City\u2019 (2014) and \u2018Inhabitable Infrastructures: Science fiction or urban future?\u2019 (2017).<\/p>\n
