Building Better - Season 1 - After the crisis, should London slow down?

This month, we're talking about slowness and what it means in the context of a city or a space. To help us think about slowness, host Christoph speaks to Pedro Gil, an architect and Senior Teaching Fellow at the Bartlett School of Architecture and Dr Elsa Arcaute, Associate Professor in the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA). Listen to hear their thoughts on slowness as a privilege, vicarious slowness, involuntary slowness, and speed as a form of power in Episode 4 of Building Better.
