Hadrian Garrard, Director, CREATE took part in the RIBA Building Futures series – ‘ After the Party: What will be the true legacy of the London Games?’
A thriving place is more than a sum of its parts. The London Games has captured the national imagination, throwing down the gauntlet for the development of place. What lessons have the Games taught us about regeneration and community?
RIBA Building Futures presented a panel discussion looking at who will live, work and play in the East End post 2012. Who really stands to benefit from the biggest infrastructure investment in London for a generation and how will existing communities have changed after the Games? Chaired by Dickon Robinson, Chair of RIBA Building Futures speakers included Bob Allies, Allies and Morrison; Eleanor Fawcett, Olympic Park Legacy Company; Austin Williams, Director The Future City project.
Peter Neal formerly of CABE.

RIBA Building Futures is a annual series of public debates around provocative contemporary and futures oriented issues. The series is a lively and informal way of reaching out to new and diverse audiences and a great opportunity to guage opinion and generate feedback on a range of issues that matter not just to architects, but to the wider public.
